(International Soundphoto) War On Hornworms Started In Person Spurred on1 by prizes offered by local businessmen, Person County farmers have started an all-out war against tobacco horn worms, according to County Agent H. K. Sanders of the State Col lege Extension Service. First step in the capipaign, San ders sad, is to destroy all plants remaining in tobacco beds. This practice will cut off an important source of food for all kinds of issects. The second step is to kill tobacco moths or "tobacco flies," as they are commonly called, before they lay their eggs. "One good swat can kill a tobacco fly which might lay many, many eggs to hatch out Into hornworms," the county agent as serted. Three merchants in the county have offered a prize of $1 each to the person bringing in the larg est number of dead moths before 4 p. m. each Saturday. Another merchant and the Roxboro^Cham ber of Commerce have offered $10 each as season prizes. Sanders said some farmers de stroy the moths by putting poison in the blossom of "jimson weeds" and other plants to which the flies are attracted. Other "home made remedies" used by farmers include the following: 1. Fill a bottle with kerosene oil, use a piece of rope as a wick and place this lighted "candle" | in a tobacco field. The moths will' be attracted to the light and burn their wings. 2. Fill a large pan or tub half full of water. Add a cup of kero sene oil. In the middle of the pan lantern on the rock. Flies will put & rock large enough to come above the water. Set a lighted strike against the lantern chimney and fall into the water, getting oil on their wings, which renders them helpless. 3. Hang an electric light be tween two posts. Put a tub oi water, with a cup of kerosene add ed, under the light. o Nutrition is highly important in promoting hatchability of eggs. o Finds own happiness while aid ing others.

S. Dearstyne, head of the poultry department at State Col lege. Dearstyne says his department in recent weeks has received cor respondence concerning geese from all sections of the State. This awakening interest, he adds, may lead to a new Infant industry In North Carolina. Geese usually are raised in small I numbers on general farms. They are very hardy and quite resis tant to disease. Since they are good 'foragers and thrive on pastures, their dietary requirements are easily met. The birds commonly are known as "hoe hands'' because they are extremely useful in clearing up the rows in cotton patches. The diet may be supplemented with home-grown grains or wet mash. Dearstyne says a gander may be mated with one to four geese but pair or trio matings usually give the best results. Nests for geese are provided in boxes or barrels on range or in the house. The na tural method of incubation is used on farms when three to seven eggs are set under a hen or 10 to 15 under a goose. The period of incubation varies from 20 days in the smaller breeds to about 3 & days in the larger breeds. - o Wilson Given Three Years In Prison Asheville, July 19 — State Sen ator Max C.
