Fall Clean up On All Farms Urgedl Campaign Expected to Greatly Reduce In sects on Farms A thorough fall clean-up campaign will do much to reduce the rapidly growing population of insect pests on North Carolina farms, says .George D. Jones, entomologist for the State Col lege Extension Service. Jones asserted that infestations of boll weevils and other insects reached , record levels during the past summer , and immediate action is needed to re- | duce next year’s crop losses from these sources. “From all indications,” he said, “the number of boll weevils going into hi bernation in North Carolina will be the largest on record. This pest has caused serious—in fact, almost total losses in many parts of the State.” The entomologist said that destruct ion of cotton stalks before frost will reduce the number and vigor of the weevils going into hibernation. He urged farmers to plow under, disc or cut down the stalks as soon as pick ing can be completed. Recent observations in abandoned tobacco fields show a very high popu lation of flea beetles feeding on the plants, Jones said. He added that community cooperation in the de struction of the old stalks and crop residues .during the early fall months should be especially helpful in con trolling the beetles and many other pests.

Their task is to keep the flowing blood stream free of an excess of toxic impurities. The act of living—lt/« itself—lb constantly producing waste matter the kidneys must remove from the blood if good heath is to endure. When the kidneys fail to function as Nature intended, there is retention of waste that may cause body-wide dis tress. One may suffer nagging backache, persistent headache, attacks of dizziness, setting up nights, swelling, pumness under the eyes—feel tired, nervous, all worn out. Frequent, scanty 01 burning passages are sometimes further evidence of kid ney or bladder disturbance. The recognized and proper treatment is a diuretic medicine to help the kidneys ?et rid of excess poisonous body waste. Tse Doon’s Pill*. They have had more than forty years of public approval.
