Chowan Farmers
Robert Marsh Submits
Method For Control
ling Pests
Many residents of Chowan County
were bothered with bag worms or tent
caterpillars last year, and the pests
are making their appearance again
this year, according to Robert S,
Marsh, assistant county agent.
“The bag worm gets its name from
its habit of building a nest or bag
from the foliage of the infested tree
or shrub,” says Mr. Marsh. “The
worms are usually found on cedar
trees and on shrubbery of the cedar
family. They may be recognized by
the nest they build.
“Ordinarily these destructive pests
stay inside their tents during the day
time and come out to feed: at night.
This is especially true if the weather
is hot.
“Bag worms may be controlled on
shrubbery by.pulling the bags off and
burning them in case they are not too
numerous. 1 If your shrubbery shows
signs of these worms, the bags should
be removed and burned as soon as
possible to prevent further damage
to the shrub and also to keep the
worms front increasing. Under no
circumstances should the hags..he a!-'

Spring prints are perennial favor
ites along with new hats and daf
fodils, but unlike the pretty flowers
they just don't bloom again and
again and after one or two seasons
at most they usually hang idly in
the Closet. But you can now put a
stop to that. Prints can be
dyed to change their color
yet not disturb the pattern
at all.
Last year's black and
white pjint will make a
hit with'the crowd all over
again if you dip it in a
yellow dye bath. Or if your
well worn number is
brown and white, change
its identity with lime dye
to make it fashion-wise
this season. In both cases
the black and brown back
ground will remain un
changed while the light
figures will take the dye.
Pastel prints of two or
more light colors can also be dyed
to form new colors. For instance, a
delicate blue and white can be con
verted into a lovely lilac and pink
combination with pink all-purpose
dye. A pink, dark green and white

winter months.
“In some cases the \vofms are so I
numerous on cedar trees that it is
impractical to remove the bags. The.
most effective control measure for bad ;
infestation in large trees is to spray
the tree with poison. Two pounds j '
of lead arsenate should be mixed with !'
500 gallons of water and the solution *
he thoroughly sprayed over the entire ji
foliage of the tree. Repeat the treat- | :
merit every three weeks until all signs !
of the worm are gone. The arsedate ‘
solution is highly poisonous to a ' ,
forms of animal life, and if used, be I ■’
sure to keep all horses,"mules, cows, I<
chickens, hogs and pets from eating;!
or licking the tree and ground where j 1
there might be poison. All utensils j
which are used for mixing the poison j
should be thoroughly, washed and ster- L
ilized immediately after use. If all :
your arsenate is not used in the first, [,
application, be sure it is stored in a I ,
strong container with the lid properly
fastened, and it should be properly
labeled and stored in a safe place .
where children can not get to it.
"For further information about the
bag worm or any other destructive
insect pests, consult the County!
Agent."

Prof. R. H. Ruffner
Will Resign July Ist
Prof. R. H. Ruffner, for the past
twenty-eight years professor of Ani
mal Husbandry and Dairying at State
College, will resign effective July 1,
it has been announced by Dean L. D.
Baver of the School of Agriculture
and director of the N. C. Agricultural
Experiment Station.
A native of Virginia, Prof. Ruffner
came to State College in 1919 from
API. Prior to that time, he had serv
ed at the University of Maryland, the
U. S. College of Veterinary Surgeons
and with the Isthmian Canal Commis
sion in Panama.
"During his years of service to
dairying in North Carolina, Prof.
Ruffner has endeared himself to hun
dreds of students and all of the dairy
men of the State,” Dean Baver said in
his “He retires from
the institution with the respect and
sincere best wishes of his associates
and his unlimited circle of friends.”
Dr. J. H. Hilton, head of the Ani
mal Industry Department, joined
(Dean Baver in expressing regret at
the resignation. In his statement, is
j sued following Dean Baver's, Dr. Hil

print in color you have
chosen before adding the
whole garment to the dye
bath, then you will have
a preview' of what the new
color will be.
To determine whether
or not the colors in the
print will run, test the ma
terial for 10 minutes at
the same temperature used
when the whole article is
dyed. If the print shows a
tendency to run it is still
possible to do a quick tint
job in hot tap water.

erted a tremendous influence on stu
dents who were privileged to take his
courses. His remarkable personality,
natural ability, enthusiastic optimism,
and his faith in his fellow men are
only some of the things which charac

Prof. Ruffner has asked to be re
lieved of his duties at the beginning
of the fiscal year, July 1, as he has
reached retirement age. He plans to
continue his residence in Raleigh.

Haywood 4-H Girl
Believes In Work
Since she first started in 4-H Club
work ffibr years ago, the motto of
Nancy Boston, Haywood County club
member, has been:
“If at First You Don't Succeed—
Try, Try Again.”
By believing thus, Nancy has indeed
become an outstanding club, member,
not only in project activities, but also,
in leadership, reports Helen M. Smith,
assistant home agent for the State
College Extension Service.
In 1945 —her first year of club
work—Nancy became secretary of the
Cruso 4-H Club and took a leading
i part in all club activities. She enter
led both the Dairy' Foods Team Dem
onstration Contest and Dress Revue
Contest the following year, winning
first place in both contests in her local
club. With her teammate, Betty Jo
Gorrell, Nancy entered the County
Dairy Foods Contest. Betty and
Nancy were selected as county win
ners with their demonstration on
"Milk Drinks" and entered the district
! contest held in Asheville, receiving
gold pins for their entry.
