Use Idle Land To Fight Plant Disease North Carolina farmers suffei an annual loss of several millior dollars as a result of the plant dis eases affecting the principal crop: of this state, according to Dr. R F. Poole, plant pathologist of th< Agricultural Experiment Station. The crops chiefly affected are: Tobacco, corn, wheat, oats, Iris! potatoes, sweet potatoes, beans soybeans, cowpeas, peanuts, water melons and cabbages. Some of the parasites which caus< the diseases will live for years ir the soil even when no crops ar< grown, Dr. Poole said. But mosi of them gradually die out or grot* weaker when deprived of the plant: they thrive on best. For this reason, he recommendet that farmers retiring acreage frorr cultivation undir AAA contract: might leave infested land idle, when practicable, to let the disease germ: lose their vigor. Some areas not* in tobacco might be allowed to produce nothing but weeds for sev eral years, he said. Other areas | could profitably be devoted to J pasture or else planted to crops im mune to the parasites that cause to bacco diseases. I In instances where land cannot well be left idle or planted to im mune cr^ps, Dr. Poole continued, the farmers should obtain the most hardy and disease resistant plants available. Much headway against !.:ome of the diseases can also be made, he said, by planting early and fertilizing the crops so that they will mature before the para sites become active. The worm that causes big root disease works most actively in hot weather. Crops planted as scon as possible in the spring after the danger of frost is over usually have a good chance to mature be fore the worm reaches its most de structive stages. .Still other diseases not caused by parasites are caused by lack of proper ingredients in the soil; such as, magnesium, nitrogen, potash, zinc, iron, maganese, sulphur, and copper. These can usually be re medied by application of the lack . ;.-<t substances, he said. - - -,1 Cleveland Rt. 2 Items Mr. and Mrs. N. S. Steele and Mr. and Mrs. C. E.

Board Flag Association Junior Senator From North Caro lina Selected To Position Of National Importance. • National Headquarters of’ The United States Flag Association has announced ' that United States Senator Robert R. Reynolds from North Carolina had been elected Chairman of the executive board. The association is now waging an intensive nation-wide War on crime which has been indorsed by Presi dent Franklin D. Roosevelt and approved by the Department of Justice. In a statement issued after his election as chairman Senator Rev nolds said, "The crime situation in the United States has become so terrible that unless the loyal, law abiding citizens take prompt and vigorous action to stem the rising tide of lawlessness the result will be disastrous beyond the concep tion of the average person. In ac cepting service as chairman of the executive board of the United States Flag Association I have done so not only because I want to do my part in helping to rid the country of the blight of crime with which it is now afflicted but also because, in my judgment, the comprehen sive and scientific plan on which is based the Flag Association’s war on crime is the first sound, concrete and practicable plan that has yet been offered the American people for the solution of the Nation’s crime problem. I shall welcome suggestions from men and women in all stations of life which may be helpful to us in helping to rid this f- onrl nmn Anrf ill rnnnfru nf ours of the scourge of crime with which it is today cursed.” Associated with Senator Rey nolds in the United States Flag As sociation’s war on crime will be former Secretary of War, Patrick J.

Relieves Women s .Pains Here is an example of how Cardui has helped thousands of women: “I was very thin and pale,” writes Mrs. F. H. Scott, of Roa noke, Va. “I suffered from weak ness and a severe pain in my back. This pain unnerved me, and I did not feel like doing my work. I did not care to go places, and felt worn, tired, day after day. “My mother had taken Cardui, and. on seeing my condition she advised me to try it. I have never regretted doing so. I took three bottles and it built me up. I gained in weight, my color was better and the pain left my back. I am stronger than I had been in some time.” Cardui, the purely vegetable medi cine which so many women take and recommend, is sold by local druggists.
