Ivey Moore, president of the Wilkes Wildlife Club, and Joel Bentley, district game protector, are busily engaged in stocking Wilkes mountain streams with trout. On Wednesday they placed brook trout in Dngger creek, a tributary of Elk in the ex treme western part of Wilkes county. On Thursday they stock ed rainbow trout in middle fork of Roaring River from L<ovelace Creek to Bluff Park. ** ^Ttlfey ask for YoTinnt*e*""wt>r* eta to assist iu stocking east and west prongs of Roaring River and east prong of Reddies River JViday.

Pink Spray Apples Due In Orchards (By Carl E. VanDeman, Assist ant County Agent) These warm, sunny days have . really brought the apple buds a \ long fast. Many orchards are ready for their pink spray. We have had enough rainy weather to start some apple scab. A thor ough spray of liquid lime sulfur at the rate of 2 gallons to 100 gallons of water put on the day after the rain will check most of the scab before It grows In to the leaves and flower stems. The best way to prevent scab completely Is to spray with lime sulphur (1 1-2 gallons per 100) or one of the wettable sulfurs be fore the rain. If the time between the pink spray and the petal-fall spray is going to be more than a week's time, you should put on a full bloom spray of wettable sulfur, especially on Red Delicious aftid other scab susceptible varieties. The paste type of wettable sulfur stlckg on better than the powder ed, sulfur. Liquid.lime sulfur is too strong to use in the full spray. Attends Institute •' Chamber Executives Tom Jenrette, manaer fft the •Ihlkes Chamber of Commerce, has returned from Winston-Sa lem, where he attended the three day institute of Chamber of Commerce executives for the southeastern atea Monday, Toes day aad Wednesday. have been aided from local chap ter funds. Donated nsed clothing and emergency funds were given to these families, bringing up to 23 the number of Wllkeg fami lies receiving this emergency as sistance for homes completely destroyed by fire during the past 16 months. If your local chapter does not raise its quota, this feature of Red Cross work in Wilkes county will be greatly hampered. The local chapter handleg hun dreds of veterans' claims, emer gency messages for families of members of the armed forces, and others. There being no full time service officer in Wilkes county, the Red Cross is the only agency which is at all times available with necessary blanks, informa-j tion, and trained workers to give veterans assistance with their claims for benefits from the Vet erans' Administration.
