The Farming Guide (By A. S. KNOWLES, County Agent) a new system tor using methyl bromide to treat tobacco plant bed soil has given good results both in tests and under farm con ditions in the last 3 years. The hot gas, or vaporized methyl bromide, has certain ad vantages over the cold liquid form that has been used over the last several years: (1) With the vaporized methyl bromide you can remove the plas tic cover at the end of 0 hours as compared to the usual 24 to 48 required. (21 This enables you to treat two or three beds in a day with the same cover. (3) You can also treat more plant bed yardage in a short time while the air temperature and soil moisture are right. Vaporized methyl bromide starts killing weed seed and cer tain disease organisms immedi ately after you apply it. The weather and soil condi tions, rate of MB, method of set ting up plastic cover, applicators, etc. are the same for vaporized treatment as for liquid treatment, except no pans are needed in the bed to catch the liquid. Soil tem- J i perature should be 50 degrees to I 00 degrees F. 1. Heat 10 to 15 gallons of water from 180 degrees F. to boll- j ing for use in vaporizing the methyl bromide. Put a bucket of hot water (8 to 10 quarts) beside your plant bed. 2. Fasten an applicator to can (holding the end to be punctured up) and puncture can. While keeping can in an upright posi tion ipunctured end up), put can in the hot water. The hot water will vaporize the liquid which is in bottom of can and only the vapor or gas will be allowed to escape through applicator tube and under cover. You will need about 3 to 4 rrtittutes to vaporize a 1-pound can of methyl bromide. 3. Apply three 1-pound cans at each of the three locations, or a total of 9 pounds per 100 square yards. (On sandy, porous soils 8 pounds is sufficient.) One bucket of hot water should vaporize three cans before water cools too much. The hotter the water the faster the liquid will vaporize.

Did you know that 9 percent of the population of the United States owns 11 percent of all the Savings Bonds outstanding? That 9 percent, as you may have guess ed, is the present farm population, according to latest census figures. So, rural people have done their share—and more—in helping to keep our nation strong. That’s why the Treasury De partment has named November as “Salute to Agriculture” month, and will pay public tribute to far mers. A full page advertisement is being carried by newspapers all over the country as a public service. It is headed "Why so | many farmers and ranchers plant money in U. S.

We are all looking forward to our first game, i whichis with Dixon on December 1. We ha.ve hopes of having the best team yet this season. Group pictures and part of the athletic pictures were taken last Tuesday. We frankly don’t know where the seniors are going to put all these pictures in their annual. We had a very nice chapel pro gram this Friday. Mr. Davis was j in charge. Brenda Jordan read the scripture, which was followed by a prayer by Mr. Williams. Chief of Police Herman Strong gave a talk on “Responsibility And Safety.” Chief Strong urged our renewed interest in a school Safety Patrol, which we are sure would benefit our community. An other item that caught our at tention was the possibility of starting a toy train for Christ mas. Mrs. Davis has left us for a short time. Mrs. Baines is sub stituting for her during her ab sence.

The code for Southport is 919. The combination of the code and the subscriber's telephone number makes each telephone number different. Most telephone directories now contain a list of the area codes for major cities in the United States. “Area codes are the key to faster long distance service", Kin said said.
