C. as second class mail matter. J , ? Louisburg held it's primary Tuesday with satisfac tory results. Every voter should go out Tuesday and vote. The election is necessary. i Many Louisburg citizens were denied the right to vote in the primary Tuesday because they had failed to reg ister. Better look out for this in the future. LET'S KEEP HISTORY STRAIGHT The only interest the FRANKLIN TIMES lias in tak ing notice of the election propaganda distributed Tues day over the signature of McM. Furgerson, a candidate for Mayor, is to keep history straight. It might be remembered that Halifax County, the for ? nier home oji Mr. Furgerson, was dominated by negro republicans for many years. Personally and socially the editor has a great deal of respect and esteem for Mr. Furgerson. His business dealings and other contacts has been very pleasant and satisfactory. But politically we are as far apart as the east is from the west. The editor could not be a repub lican or endorse the political actions of a republican if lie wanted to, because of the ghostly pictures of the past "accomplishments of the republican party that would re veal themselves to him 011 every hand. Individually the editor lias many close friends, who are republicans, whose friendship lie values very highly, but not their politics. Under ihe heading "Fair Play," lie goes on to say the editor sees fit to go out of his way to volunteer a classi fication of the )*olitk's of the two eawdidatw-fw Mayor admitting it to be a Non-Partisan primary, which could .only be intended to prejudice the voters and divert their attention from the real issues of the campaign. In view of the fact that he and his oft'ice force are family con nected with one of the candidates, he sees fit to classify." The above is oidy partly true. The idea that Louis burg voters would desert the Democratic principles ami supporters never for once suggested itself to us. We had too much confidence in Louisburg voters to consider any such idea, which we are delighted to see this confi dence was well supported on Tuesday when the count was made. Likewise reminded the candidate thai Louis burg in 1939 does not compare with Halifax twenty- five or more years ago. It was true that some of our force was related to one of the candidates, but they considered the opposition of so little consequence they never went out to do any work around the polls. The voters of Louisburg, we are delighted to note, are not given t<> being diverted. The circular goes on to state further "It is a known fact that issues and platforms are being changed so fast that a man hardly knows how to classify himself much less an Editor who sees from an interested standpoint. He knows the issue. He printed my announcement af ter scrutinizing and discussing it". The editor as a courtesy and a business matter, wrote Mr. Furgerson's announcement at his suggestion, dicta tion and approval, and added to it the next day sen tences brought in by him and at his request, at which time the political situation was discussed and Mr. Fur gerson never disclaimed his republican affiliation, but did state the party question was raised once in Littleton and he won over his Democratic opponent. This act was the same business cotirtesy we extend all our cus tomers. We do not scrutinize, except to determine if the contents are mailable. As to issues and platforms changing, the people of the United States should thank God for the change in 1933 when the "wonderful" re publican ? Hoover ? was replaced by Democratic Roose velt. The TIMES is iiot responsible for the fact that the Louisburg primaries and elections are non-partisan ? it's a condition that has been handed down, and the voters have succeeded in taking care of conditions in a wonderfully Democratic way. In all seriousness to be a republican or Democrat is a privilege of each individual. The editor of the TIMES chose the Democratic side. It is the party to which we people of the South owe our liberty, our prosperity, our homes, our freedom and our safety. It is the party that ended carpet bagging, reconstruction, debauchery and bad government, and brought about progress, education, opportunity and equal rights to all. It is the party of our choice and we are proud of membership in it. The FRANKLIN TIMES is a Democratic paper, pul^-' lished in a Democratic Community and recognizes it'$ obligation to keep the public informed, and ifi doing this, even in the recent Louisburg primary, it hjw.jio apology to make. Unless in this case it would be to Mayor Webb, for not having said,more in behalf of his political standing. _ TOBACCO BLUE MOLD (By W. C. Boyce, County Agent) Blue Mold or downy Mildew, which is caused by a fungus has made its appearance in Franklin County. Presence of the disease on plant beds was reported by sever al farmers last week. Most reports indicated that the attack was in a mild form. There are many products on the market recommended by their manufacturers as sure control of blue mold, however, the experi ment station results indicate and suggest that only three treatments have given satisfactory results. The materials used in these treat ments are as follows: 7 (1) THE SPRAY TREATMENT Varied results have been obtained from spray treatments, however, in most cases where it was re ported that the spray was used before blue mojd started, the re sults were very satisfactory. The materials used in the spray are Red Copper oxide 85 to 90% cop per, cotton seed oil and an emul sifier, such as Lethane spreader. This spray should be applied twice weekly before the blue mold at tacks the plant beds, and be con tinued until plants are transplan ted to field. (2) GAS TREATMENT. Para dichlorobenzene has given satisfac tory control to blue mold when applied according to recommenda tions. This material has been used with satisfactory results on plant beds after the plants have been observed to be infected with blue mold. This material is applied at night under a cover of unbleached cloth at the rate of 2% lbs. to the 100 square yards. (3) BENZOL TREATMENT. Application of Benzol similar to application of Paradichlorobenzene has befin used under cotton sheet ing with good results, The Benzol ! is poured in a pan about $xl0 inches with pan located 6 feet j apart, allowing a spread of 3 feet j from each pan, The vapor given j off from benzol is heavier than air, | and will penetrate through the air do.wn to the plants. Three succes- 1 sive treatments will usually give satisfactory results. Extension circular No. 229 "Blue Mold of Tobacco an^ It's Control" published in December 1938 gives detailed information on treating tobacco plant beds for blue mold. Should you be inter ested in more detailed informa tion on treatment for blue mold, i please call by the County Agent's office for further information and a copy of this circular. GROWING KUDZU i Because kudiu is such a hardy J plant, farmers are likely to over-! look the fact that the first grow-! lug season is a critical period fori newly planted kudzu crowns or) seedlings, according to William E. Adams, Junior Agronomist of the Soil Congprvatinn .Service. in Xhid CGC camp area, near Franklinton. ; The root system of a kudzu : plant is drastically reduced when I the plant is dug and competition for moisture by other types of veg- 1 etables seriously retards the ' growth of kudzu during the lirst spring and summer, Adams point ed out.. Clean cultivation along i the rows is therefore extremely Important throughout the entire first growing season. Extensive plantings of kudxu for erosion control have been j made by farmers in this section j during recent months and proper1 culilVatiou will promote rapid growth, Adams said. If necessary, weeds and grass should he hoed out of rows and sufficient plowing should be done along t'he rows to! control other vegetation, to keep the soil well broken, and to keep the vines dragged back to a rela- 1 tively narrow strip aloftg each row. Such a system of- cultivation prevents competition by weeds and grass and also results in the de- j That Vexing Jockey Question velopment of a thick stand of plants along the rows. Cultivation keeps tUe surface of the soil in good condition for vines to take root- at the , nodes, or joints, and develop new crowns. Soil thrown on runners by the plow also in duces root formation. Where the kudzu was planted, it is suggested that a row crop such soybeans, cotton, or corn he planted between the rows of kud zu. Where a row, crop can be plan ted in Mie middles between the rows of kudzu, cultivation for the row crops will control weeds and keep the soil in good condition for the establishment of kudzu plants.
