"Garden
Time
By ROBERT SCHMIDT
During the dormant season we
should examine our shrubs and
fruit trees closely to see if they
are infested with scale insects. If
you do not know what scale insects
look like, call in your county agent
or some horticultural friend who
is familiar with them. If your
trees are infested with scale it is
important that yoi do something
about it.
Scale insects are very small
sucking insects that attach them
selves to the twigs, leaves, and
branches of shrubs and trees and
proceed to suck the life out of
them. As soon as they are attach
ed to the twig they construct a
tough scale covering over them
selves for protection. That is why
they are called scale insects. The
scales areu sually white or gray
in color.
In order to kill the insects it is
necessary to use a spray material
that will penetrate the scale cov
ering. Such a spray would be too
strong to use during the growing
season because it would also dam
age the plahts. Therefore, we must
spray (or scale insects during the
dormant season when the plants
are not growing and deciduous
trees are free of leaves. The mis
crible oils, such as Volck and
Scalecide, and lime-sulphur solut
ions. are effective in controlling
scale insects when used according
to the manufacturers' directions.
Oil sprays should not be used in
freezing weather. Because qf its
fungicidal action, especially on
peach trees, its is preferred to use
lime-sulphur spray late in the dor
mant season.
Also, at this time of the year
we may find a number spindle
shaped cocoons or "bags" hanging
on the twigs of our narrowleaved
evergreens. Many of these "bags"
contain eggs of the bagworm
which will hatch out into cater
pillars in early summer. These
caterpillars will eat the foliage of
the evergreens and will protect
themselves by spinning new bags
in which they live while they feed.
Ijter in the summer they will
change to adults and the females
will lay eggs in their eoAons. For
control of bagworms ail cocoons
on the trees or shrub* during the
winter season should be picked
off and destroyed. During the
summer' the caterpillars may be
killed with a DDT spray or an ar
senical spray.

Questions And Answers
On Farm Problems
QUESTION la there any way
that I can estimate how 'much milk
? young cow will give at maturity?
ANSWER: Yes Stalled "age
conversion factors" not only can
help a farmer decide whether a
young milk cow ia worth keeping
but also her aire's desirability as
a breeding animal. Rimers can
obtain a table giving the conversion
factors from U. S. D. A.
QUESTION: Why do eggs packed
with large end up grade higher?
ANSWER: Because when eggs
are packed with small end up, the
yolk has a tendency to rise, caus
ing the egg to grade, lower when
candled. To grade "A" or better,
an egg must have a well-centered
yolk.
QUESTION: How does North
Carolina rank among other states
as far as agriculture is concerned?
ANSWER: In cash income from
agriculture, North Carolina ranked
fourth amohg the states in 1953.
However, this state has the largest
farm population in the nation and
ranks second only to Texas in the
number of farms.
QUESTION: Are the organized
feeder calf sales a good place to
buy beef calves in North Caro
lina?
ANSWER: Yes. For one thing
the animals sold in these sales
are uniform in quality and type.
They have been selected by ex
perts who know their business
and each animal will have been
dehorned, vaccinated and cas
trated.
QUESTION: What happens to
the money set aside for soil con
servation if farmers fait to use
it? ?
ANSWER: The money i#turned
back to the general fund of the
IT. S. Department of Agriculture.
On July 31 this year North Caro
lina farmers had nearly $S mil
lion of federal funds approved for
conservation practices; recent
check showed that less than $1
million has been used, or reported
on.
QUESTION : Some insect is
cutting twigs off my pecan trees. I
What is it and what can I do?
ANSWER: The insect is known
as the twig girdler. The only
practical control is to pick up and
burn the twigs as they fall. These
twigs contain eggs, so by burning
the t,wigs you can destroy eggs
that would hatch more beetles for
next year. You will also need
to burn twigs from hickory and
persimmon trees as the same in
sect attacks these two trees as
well.
