News And Views Of Interest To Randolph Farmers Safe Planting Dates Boost Yield Of Wheat Damage By Hessian Fly May Be Lessened If Planting Dates Suggested Used. Though the (Hessian Fly causes a heavy annual loss to wheat growers of North Carolina, some of the loss may toe prevented by planting the seed wheat on fly-free dates. “These dates for the mountain area are between September 15 and Octo ber 5; for the piedmont area, between October 1 and October 15, and for the coastal plain area, between Octo ber 15 and November 1,” says C. H. Brannon, extension entomologist at State Cqllege. Brannon explains that this Hessian Fly damages wheat by the maggots .or larvae feeding between the leaf sheath and the stem. The plants are Id]led or seriously injured because of this feeding and the yields are there fore greatly reduced. The small "flaxseed” noticed in the wheat plants are the resting stage or pupae. The adult flies come from these so-called "flaxseed.” The insect is very small, resembling the mosquito. As a usual thing, the Hessian Fly is injurious chiefly to wheat, though the pest will attack barley and rye. It does not injure oats. Brannon says there is no sure con trol for the fly once it gets estab lished in a wheat field. The main control is keeping it out. In addition to planting at the prop er time, wheat growers may aid in control by following a crop rotation plan; plowing under all infested stub ble as soon as possible after harvest and by destroying all volunteer wheat. Good seed, the use of fertilizer and cooperation in planting on fly-free dates throughout the entire commu nity will also help. TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED Question: How often do pine trees produce seed ? Answer: This varies with different pines. The spruce or Virginia pine bear seed early in life, and make a Tair seed crop each year. The Short leaf and Loblolly pines bear few seeds before reaching 20 to 25 years of age and then produce a heavy crop of seed every three or four years, with the intervening years being somewhat blank. The Longleaf pine has a wait of six to seven years between its seed producing periods. A man plan ning to harvest a timber crop should give consideration to this question of seed bearing so that he may be sure his forest lands will reseed. Question: Will seed loans be furn ished next year? Answer: No, not under the present plans for farm financing, unless the Congress which meets next January authorizes the seed loans. Product ion credit will be handled for this state out of the new bank at Colum bia, S. C., and farmers must form county production credit associations to get the benefit of the loans this bank will make. It is said that no farmer who refuses to cooperate in the new crop reduction campaigns •will be extended Government credit. Question: Does the Government plan to have a plow-up campaign for cotton next season? Answer: C. A. Cobb says no. The Agricultural Adjustment Administra tion plans to restrict production at planting time in which the acreage will be reduced by 40 per cent. It is planned to plant only 25 million acres to cotton in the South next season. This is about 60 per cent of the av erage for the past five years and 16 million acres less than was planted this past spring. Farmers are to join county cotton control associations and adjust their own acreage accord ing to the allotments given to a state and through it to the county and in dividual farm. CLUB MEMBERS FEATURE ANNUAL STATE FAIR Exhibits, demonstrations and judg ing contests staged by the 4-H club members will be a feature of the an nual State Fair to be held in Raleigh during the week of October 9. Under the leadership of L. R. Har rill of the State College Extension Service, the 4-H club members will have a special department which will be limited to actual members. Prem iums have been secured for exhibits of com, sweet potatoes, Irish pota toes, Guernsey calves, Jersey calves and poultry. Entries in these class es must be produced or grown by the club members themselves. center of attraction for all dairymen visiting the State Fair in recent years and additional entries will be made by the boys and girls this sea son. There will also be special awards for showmanship with valua ble medals offered by the Jersey Cat tle Club. Quail Roost Farm will again of fer a silver trophy cup for the mem ber making the best record with Guernsey calves during the past club year. The poultry show and the fudging contests will be other parts of the 4-H activities. The judging contests will be held «n Friday of fair week and always attract teams from most of the coun ties in the State. Judging will be There will also be a special county com exhibit composed of ten-ear dis plays by club members. This show was one of the interesting features of the farm crops department last year and Harrill looks for it to be the chief com exhibit this fall. The calf club show has been the Preserving Time is Here Again By Jane Rogers r’ you are one of those wise housewives who last summer stocked her pantry shelves with jams, jellies and preserves you know how much they can add to the pleasure and economy of winter meals. If not, let “live and learn” be your motto and resolve that your activities this year shall make up for the omissions of the past. The products of orchard or gar den in whatever form they are put up have everything to recom mend them. The fruits and berries furnish vitamins and mineral salts while the' sugar is an Invaluable source of energy. Ease of prepara tion is another consideration, and modern methods, including the short-boil method and the use of prepared pectin, have greatly les sened the time and effort required. Ripe Peach Jam 4 cups (S lbs.) prepared fruit cape (»V* lbe.) racer 1 battle pectin To prepare fruit, peel about 3 pounds fully ripe peaches. Pit and grind, or chop, very fine. If peaches lack flavor or tartness, add juice of 1 lemon. Measure sugar and prepared fruit, tightly packed, into large kettle, mix well, and bring to a full rolling boil over hottest fire. Stir constantly before and while boiling. Boil hard 1 minute Remove kettle from fire and stir in pectin. Then stir and skim by turns for just 5 minutes to cool jam slightly, to prevent floating fruit Pour quickly. Cover with % inch of hot paraffin.

New Cotton Plan To Seek Adjusted Crop Will Seek To Limit Cotton Acre age In The South To Ap proximately 25 Millions. Compensated by benefit payments and acreage rentals for the land to be left out of production, cotton growers of the South will seek to limit their 3934 crop to approximately 25 mil lion acres under the recently an nounced cotton adjustment program of the Agricultural Adjustment Ad ministration. Substantial decrease of gross cotton production for 1934, as a continuation of the effort to reduce the surplus of American cotton, is the .main objective of the new plan. Adjustment pay ment checks are now being received by cotton growers who cooperated in the emergency program which took more than four million bales out of production in 1933. “General principles of the new cot ton plan follow recommendations made at a series of conferences held in the South on September 5,” says Dean I. O. Schaub, director of Ex tension at State College. “The plan will be directed by Cully A Cobb, chief of the cotton section of the AAA.” “County allotment associations, composed of those farmers who take part in the plan, will handle much of the local administration of the pro gram. The acreage to be planted for 1934 is to be determined and announc ed on or before January 1. It is ex ! pected that the total will be about j 25 million acres, or around 60 per ! cent of the five-year average for the 1 period from 1928 through 1932.” Mr. Schaub says allocation of the acreage to states, counties, and indi viduals will be based on the five-year acreage averages. Rental and bene fit payments, the latter tending to give the grower parity price on the domestically consumed proportion of his crop, will be based on production averages for the five-year period. These will be determined by the local control associations and approved by the Administration. AMERICAN LEADERSHIP SEEN IN NEW HANDBAG DESIGNS Leadership in design, smartness and color is a distinguished factor in the handbags being presented by Ameri can designers for the fall. Paris im portations—at least, the importations shown along Fifth Avenue—cannot compare with them. There is a smart ness about the American handbag, just as there is about the American made shoe, which gives a finishing touch to a costume that does not seem to be equalled abroad. Rich textures in synthetic fabrics, smooth pliable lacquered fabrics and brilliantly-col ored plastics are the materials favor ed on Fifth Avenue. Genuine pin seal, alligator and lizard calf, suede, velvet and satin— with, ornaments of enamel, composi tion, marcasite, mirrors and metal are all important handbag news. Black and brown are favored colors for day time in flat envelope styles. Shirred pouch models are smart for evening. Very charming for afternoon is the suede envelope with corrugated com position trims—often a large round j or square buckle. There’s a new ver l sion of the tailored envelope bag de i signed with two slide fastener pock ets for papers and private things and an attached purse to keep coins handy. These are carried out in black and brown suede and with your own ini tials if you wish. There are also fine calf skin bags—satin smooth or in terestingly grained in strictly tailor ed styles for the fall tweeds. Fabri koid in both smooth and grained ver sions is noted in some of the new day time bags—smart in their new tailored shapes and usually with metal or composition trims. Farm timber is a safe, sound and secure investment with Nature as the banker and the returns being paid through the increase in growth. Five new trench silos have been dug by dairy fanners of Henderson county this summer. THIS CHAMPION STILL GOING STRONG!—While 1932*8 leaders in tennis, golf, base ball and other sports are toppling from their thrones, Fred Frame, ace of last year’s racing drivers, keeps on serenely mowing down the opposition. Here he is just after winning the recent 203-mile Elgin National Road Race for stock cars, held at Elgin, Illinois, in the course of which he set a new record of 80.22 miles per hour average speed. Fred graciously shares the credit for this performance with his stock Ford V-8, which reached a top speed of 100.4 miles per hour, and with his fuel and oil. Only one quart of Essolube was consumed during the entire race, and racing-type Bssolene was used. Technical inspectors of the American Automobile Association later pronounced the engine to have come through its terrific test in perfect condition. ‘iifilllfe&: CAPTAIN WALKER DEFIES DEATH DAILY Capt. Walker Enters Den With Monster Nubian Lion. A special feature of the combined World Bros, and Bud Horne Wild West coming to Asheboro Saturday, October 14, is the daring performance of the well known animal trainer Capt. William Walker. He is a com parative young man, being in his twenties but he has had years of experience in handling “cat” animals. He broke in with the famous Christy Bro3. circus, the big Texas wild an imal show where he performed with a mixed group of lions, tigers and sheep, actually having a lion and a lamb lie down together. He has been with the World Bros, circus for the past three years and “broke” the present lion act composed of eight monster Nubians. The Captain arm ed with only a common kitchen chair and a whip enters the steel arena and has the lions obey his every com mand. They form pyramids and take their places on pedestals. Four of them sit around a table and are fed raw meat from the trainer’s bare hands. Others leap over hurdles and through hoops of fire. The Captain concludes his thrilling performance by throwing his whip out of the arena and taking his place, absolutely un armed, in the center of a group form ed by all of the lions. He also' has had remarkable success with leopards, which he says are the most treacher ous of all “cat” animals and also presents the elephant acts with the show. The combined World Bros, and Bud Horne Wild West will exhibit here at the popular price of 25 cents to alL Chinese mandarin collars—Schiapa relli's latest caprice—are featured in New York shops. They are very smart in white crepe or satin, and can dress up most any costume. There’s also the new Augustabemard satin how of generous cut, to ibe worn close to the throat under the chin, that is very dressy.

Gnrdul Is sold by local aiimiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiii Gather Locust Seed For A Cash Income Seed Sell Well And There Is Shortage Of Them In U. S.; Can Make Money. The demand for black locust seed last season was greater than the sup ply available and indications are that the demand will continue through this season. “This demand for black locust seed should offer mountain farmers a new income source,” says R. W. Graeber, extension forester at State College. “The seed are not difficult to harvest and there is a good crop indicated in the western part of the State this fall. The fajack locust is one of the best trees for use on reclaiming wash ed land and controlling future eros ion. The tree was taken to Germany and Italy for this purpose and is now being used extensively in those two countries. Italy is using black locust in the 500 million dollar land recla mation and soil stabilization project which is very similar to President Roosevelt’s Tennessee Valley proj ect.” Graeber finds that this country has not supplied the demand for black locust seed so far needed in the re forestation and erosion control work being conducted. Last year when the State of Indiana wanted 15,000 pounds of seed, she had to go to-Ger many to get the supply. Yet, the black locust is an American tree. Tennessee bought 3,000 pounds of seed from Germany also. Mr. Graeber says black locust seed are selling for good prices. The North Carolina State Forester paid 60 cents a pound for some last season and one of the private nurseries paid a higher price. This indicates that some farmers might harvest the seed to good ad vantage this fall. Plump seed from thrifty vigorous trees should be gathered as soon as mature and al lowed to dry or cure in a dry, well I ventilated place. The pods may be ] hulled like peas or beans. Alleghany county sheep growers pooled 500 lambs last week to make a cooperative sale at advanced price3 over those offered locally.

All Orchard Soils Need Cover Crops Water is a limiting factor in the successful production of quality fruit and nothing helps an orchard soil to hold water like the plowing under of a heavy winter-grown cover crop. “We have found as a rule that moat of the soils in the apple and peach orchards of North Carolina are low in organic matter," says H. R. Nis wonger, extension horticulturist at State College. “This means that then is a heavy annual loss of plant food due to soil erosion. Under such a condition, orchard lands cannot ab sorb and retain the season’s rains; winter-freezing of roots is more prev alent and the soil lacks the proper physical condition.” Niswonger has observed that heavy damage to roots of orchard treee oc curs frequently after drought yearn when the moisture content of the soil is low. However, when cover crops am grown in the orchard and turned under annually or ibi-annually, many of the orchard ills mentioned may be cor rected and the formation of fruit buds increased. If most of the cover crop is removed for hay, at least two thirds of its value as a soil builder is lost. The extension horticulturist has found that orchard owners in this State spend a large part of their re ceipts each season for nitrogen fer tilizers to build up and maintain tree vigor and fruit production. This an nual bill may be greatly reduced by building up the organic content of the soils through the use of legumes. Vetch and Austrian winter peas may be planted this fall and will make a heavy growth for turning under amt spring. An acre of orchard sod grown to vetch will produce over 6, 000 pounds of top-growth to turn un der. The Austrian peas have a sim ilar value. , AMERICAN DESIGNERS FEATURE AMERICAN FABRICS American fabrics including new rayon velvets, satins, failles and bengalines were featured in a recent showing of another Fifth Avenue shop. This col lection designed by the imaginative Amercan designer—Muriel King, drew its inspiration from two sources— the dramatic spirit of Sarah Bern hardt’s costumes and the old armor of the Fifteenth oentury. The former was noted particularly in evening clothes which featured velvets, beu galine, lace and net. In sports clothes, the armor influence was ap parent, this group including a zinnia colored four piece suit with a coppery brown skirt and long coat, a tawny orange suede jacket worn over a chamois colored blouse—a decidedly smart ensemble.
