drastic revisions. Some’ exiperl-
ment with new mateitoufl, others
reduce tho number of sprays,
while stfU others try to econo
mise iby reducing the concentra
tion, of the materinto, or by
skimping on the coverage.
The fear main cMiaidera.tions
in BUMessful spraying are;
Proper Timing.—^Ah apple scab
spray applied after the fungus
has ente^ the tissiies of the
leaves or fruit to effort wasted.
Prevention should ibe the watch
word in the case of fungous di
seases. Plant diseases are rarely
cured hut they can be prevented.
Be Prompt.—To put on a cov
er aipray of arsenate of load aft
er the worms have gone into the
fruit will he of no avail. The
moot thorough coverage -with the
'best materials will not control in
sects and diseases if the spray Is
applied at the wrong time. Prop
er timing requires not only that
the spray he started at the prop
er time, but that the application
be completed within a certain
time limit. 'This cannot, ‘be,f ac
complished without proper equip
ment and sufficient pump capac
ity.
Thorough /Coverage.—No mat
ter how correctly the aprays are
timed or how good the materials
may be, if the fruit and foliage
are only partly covered -with
spray, satisfactory results cannot
'be expected. A bea-vy application
made to the lower and outside
parts of the tree, with little or no
spray reaching the top and in
side of the tree, will not give sat
isfactory control of either Insects
or diseases. Adequate equipment
in proper operating condition and
with sufficient pressure at all
times to carry the spray into the
tops and inside of the trees, is
necessary for getting the pprays
on at the right time and to se
cure complete coverage.
The^Right Kind of Spray Ma
terial. — The materials recom
mended in tho various schedules
are those ■which have been thor
oughly tested under varying con
ditions and have 'been found safe
and effective. An adequate water
supply is another essential factor.
Some manufacturers of new
spray materials claim -better con
trol at less cost for their pro
ducts. Growers are warned not
to take chances -with spray mater
ials that are not recommended in
the schedules. -When new materi
als have been -properly tested and
found superior, they will be
recommended toy the county a-
gent.

FEBRUARY SPECIAir
White Gasoline
Forester’
Because of their deficiency in
the minor, or secondary elements,
some doubt has developed as to
the economy and deeirability of
the new, highly concentrated fer
tilizers. Until about 26 or 30
years ago, it was generally be
lieved that nitrogen, potash and
acid satisfied the crop’s total
need for plant food. At that time,
however, nitrogen mabirlals of
high purity -began to hfi -used in
stead of the old style, natural
fertilizers like 'blood, bone, scrap,
stable manure and meal, which
had gotten scarce and expensive.
Since then, experience has reveal
ed the value of many of the -plant
food elements contained !n natur
al fertilizers as impurities and
this, in turn, has raised tho ques
tion regarding the economic ef
ficiency of the pure fertilizers.
“It to a common complaint a-
mong farmers," says Professor L.
O. Willis of the North Carolina
Experiment Station, “that the
quality of fertilizers has been
lowered. It would seem that It
should take less of the concen
trated fertilizers to make a crop
and that farmers would profit by
using them. Actually, the reverse
has been true. Farmers have had
to use more of these newer fertl-
lisers, but there to no evidence
'B ^gtohto havut been cor-
reepondlngly increksed. As the
analyses of fertilizers have in
creased, the rate of application
also has increased, resnlting In
high^ fertiliser costs.'-
Purity in fertilisers can only
be attained by eliminating the
impurities. Many of the impnrl-
tles in natural fertilizers, how
ever, are just as necessary to
plants as nitrogen, potash or
phosphate. They cannot make a
croj) without them. In view of the
rather‘■unsatisfactory reanlts thna
far obtained with the new high-
purlty matertoU and highly con-
tontiated fertilise, it seems
th« pi^, of t?*

7. Increasing the tax on li

9. Reducing the levy on beer

Bryant said the proposals had
been made after the finance suib-
commlttee had conferred with an
appropriations subcommittee and
that the two groups had gone to
work on the theory the budget
was $1,038,000 a year out of
balance.

Bill To
Auto License Tags
Offered In State
Raleigh, Feb. 20.—A toUl to in
crease the cost of autom-otollo llo^
ense tags by 60 cents, and.-to .iiqo
the receipts to estahlirii a heupital
insurance fund for victims^ of
highway accidents, was introduc
ed in the General Assembly to
night by Senator Long of Halifax.
Representative Woodhous© of
Yadkin sent forward a mehsar© to
abolish all county alcoholic bev
erage control tooarda and to timns-
fer tlielr duties to the- hooi^ of
county commtoeiwiero. Th'e'’ bill
was understood to be au economy
proposal.
The hospital Insurance mrtto-
ure, said to be 'backed by the
State Association of Ho(H>itato,
was referred to the Senate fi
nance committee^ The bill pro
vides that the insurance would
become effective as soon as a
$100,000 fund is setup from re
ceipts of the additional 60-cent
levy on auto license tags.
Under the proposal, the fund
would pay $3 a day, for 21 days,
toward the hoepltal ©ipenses of
'ny North Carolinian injured in
a motor vehicle accident.
The Arch-Bishop of Canterbury
may be heaping coals of fire on
