PAGE TWO Overman Warns Against Damage ToPeas And Beans Weevils Infest Crops In Storage, Says County Agent “Weevils will probably infest and to a large extent destroy dried peas and beans in storage unless they are properly controlled,” warned county agent C. W. Overman this week. “Many of these insects develop in the beans and peas in the field and con tinue to develop in them after thdy are placed in storage. “After thoroughly drying, the j beans and peas should be placed in an airtight container and fumigated i with carbon disulfide. The fumigant should be used at the rate of one-. half teacupful to the barrel of seeds or one-half teaspoonful to the gallon, j Caution: Carbon disulfide is explos- ; ive and inflammable. It should not, be above 70 degrees during the [ process, and the container should be tightly closed immediately after sprinkling the carboji disulfide upon the seeds. Leave the container clos ed for from 24 to 36 hours then the lid may be removed and the seeds aired. “During the airing process a tight ly woven cloth should be placed over the opening in the container and tied down securely to prevent any other insects from entering. After airing a few hours the seeds are ready to be placed in permanent storage. If stored in sacks they I should be placel in tightly woven sacks and examined carefully at monthly intervals and at the first signs of insect presence the fumiga tion process should be repeated. “Beans and peas which are being saved for seed purposes and will not be eaten can be treated with DDT which will assure long time protec tion. One ounce of 5 % DDT dust thoroughly mixed with one bushel of seed will afford protection for at least a year.” CP ~ FOCUSES ATTENTION ON TWO CURRENT COAT FAVORITES!

L Brewer 124 East Freemason Street . EDENTON, N. C. Phone 49-J I Billion Pollarfload Block! Railroads must operate around the clock • every day and night of the year. Although they know this, leaders of 16 rail road unions are demanding a five-day, Mon day through Friday, week for one million railroad employes. They want 48 hours pay for 40 hours work —in itself a 20wage increase. They also demand a minimum of 12 hours pay for any work performed on Saturdays, and 16 horns pay for any work performed on Sundays and holidays. On top of all this they want an additional . increase of 25c an hour for every employe! You’d Pay the Bill! Summing up these demands, they mean that these union leaders seek to force the railroads to give one million employes an annual raise which would average SISOO per employe! The total cost of this would be no less than lli billion dollars per year, which is more than twice the expected net income of the railroads this year. You’d pay the bill, because if these in creased costs are forced on the railroads. - Leggett & Davis, bill, $3.50; Eastern - North Carolina Sanatorium, bill, Mrs. 1 W. H. White, to .

Their average week ly earnings are higher than the average weekly earnings of workers in manufacturing indus tries. They have more job security than the average worker in American industry. They * also enjoy paid vacations, a retirement sys tem and other advantages more generous than the average worker receives. y In contrast with the demands of these 16 unions, which add up to the equivalent of 48c an hour, the Conductors and Trainmen recently settled their wage request for an increase of 10c an hour. ’Oil •KJHI >- We are publishing this and other advertisements to talk with you at first hand about matters which are important to everybody. t | i By motion of A.

These unions are proceeding in utter disregard of this important difference between railroads and other industries. Industrial plants can be shut down over weekends and holidays, but freight, tnail, express and passengers must continue to move. Everybody who enters rail road employment 'knows this. . Strike Threat On September 18, 1948, the leaders of these 16 unions began taking a strike vote. But the threat of a strike will not alter the opposition of the railroads to such unreasonable demands!
