Plant Beds Will Breed Tobacco Flea Beetles Here's a note of warning to to bacco growers of North Carolina from Dr. 1!. B. Fulton. State Col lege entomologist. He urges far mers to scrape, plow or harrow their old tobacco plant beds after transplanting to the field lias been completed. "Tobacco plant beds arc tin preferred breeding grounds for flea beetles." Dr. Fulton says. "Scraping, plowing or harrowing the old plant beds will destroy thousands of flea beetle larvae and reduce injury to newly set plants,” The entomologist explained that beetles that breed in plant beds move to the m-wly set plants in the field, where they feed on the leaves and lay largo number f eggs in the soil near the toba-.-c > plants. Tiny wormlike larvae hat ch and feed on the roots. This movement of beetles from the plant beds continues as long its there art- any plants left in the beds, "Tobacco plants are tender, as all farmers know, “Dr. Fulton de clared. "The usual shock of up rooting and transplanting, plus the double barreled attack of flea beetles on leaves and rots, weak ens the transplants, causes per manent stunting, and actually kills a large number of the plants. "Tests show that the best me thod to kill the flea beetle lar vae in tobacco plant beds is to remove all tobacco plants, and then scrape the soil to a depth of two to three inches. Another good way is to plow and harrow Die plant beds. Blowing alone is help ful, but some larvae are not kill ed unless the beds are harrowed or scraped." The State College entomologist sai dthat "an ounce of prevention at this season of the year is wor th many pounds of cure after the flea beetles have attacked the to bacco plants in the field.” Housewives Are Told How To Outwit Moth “Those winter wolens you an putting- away this spring are go ir.g to be more valuable than ev er next fall,” points out Miss Wil lie X. Hunter, clothing speeialis of the North Carolina State Col lege Extension Service. “War timt needs l'or wool emphasize the im portanee of protecting garment: and blankets from moth damage,’ he declared. Miss Hunter says that moth: j are likely to be in almost an} house at any time of the year “So eliminate all breeding place: for moths," she advises, "mid i keep all floors and rugs well I swept. Never leave wool rags or old woo! clothes lying carelessly j around the house. Don't let lint or hair accumulate in floor cracks or under baseboards—or dog or cat hairs remains in the base ment. Moths like hair, feathers, land fur as well as wool." Continuing, the Extension spec , ialist said: "Before you store wool garments, rid them of moths, lar ] vae. or moth eggs Dry cleaning, washing with a strong solution of uuitral soap, or sunning. airing md crushing combined will kill iioths- ilostroy their eyes and lar .ae. "1'ut clothing away in paper mgs, in paper packages, in box 's. or store in trunks, chests and light closets. Seal all paper bun Ues. hags and boxes so the moths tave no access. They won’t eat through the paper, but they will •rawl through the holes. "For extra protection, use nap thalene or paradichlorobenzene. or moth balls which contain one or i th of these chemicals. About one pound of flake napthalene or para lichlorobenzene is a safe amount for a small chest, trunk or wood en 'i i.x. Fjr a large closet or storeroom, use a pound of crystals lo every 100 cubic feet." Aurelian Spring News The Aurelian Springs negative debating team reached the .■ ui finals in Chapel Hill last Friday morning but was eliminated by debaters from loading high schools j throughout the state.
