A Newsy Trip
Around The World
By Elizabeth Saunders
He doesn't know how to read or
write, but John Lagoumzis, of Al
bridge, Pa., does know how to drive
a truck and he can tell what all the
signs along the highway mean. Re
cently, after he had been driving 18
years, authorities discovered he
couldn't read and revoked his driv
er's permit. But when he ably show
ed a judge that he knew what the
highway signs meant, his permit was
restored.
Control Army Worm
With Dust Or Bait
gave them the idea and soon they in
tend to say "I do a real ceremony.
In checking on driving records
shown in applications, the American ,
Automobile Association has found
that the average "safe driver" is 46
years old and has been driving for
more than 20 years without a single
accident or vioation of the motor
laws.
Chasing a mad dog, Patrolman
William Huey, of Detroit, had a lasso j
in one hand and a revolver in the j
other. He fired once and missed. The ;
dog wheeled, grabbed the lasso in its
teeth and tripped Huey. In the scram
ble the gun went otf and the bullet
hit Huey in the foot. The dog escap
ed. Huey is in a hospital.
After putting up a swing for his
children, Stephen Talas of Akron,
0., said he would try it first to see
if it was safe. It wasn't. A rope
broke hurling him headfirst against a
tree root, and he had to be taken to
a hospital.
Shortly after dreaming that he
caught his arm in an electric wash
ing machine and broke it, Jack Pet
erson, 1(5, of Fort Worth, Tex., did
just that. C n his way to a hospital
he told th- ambulance ct.iver he
would never again doubt that dreams
can come true.
A racing fan attending a meet at
Toronto, Ontario, laughed loudly
when a horse kicked his leg and
broke it. "Its all right," he told a
larmed witnesses. "The leg's made of
wood."
A startled scream pierced the ears
of B. M. Hollaway, truck gardener
near Flint, Mich., when he tugged
with all his might at a "canteloupe"
he was unloading from a truck. The
"cantaloupe" was the head of ten-year-old
Billy Thomas, who had bur
ied himself in the load of melons to
steal a ride.
i Altho State Treasurer Rufus C.
Holman of Oregon admitted he was
color blind, he was named a judge
for a redhead bathing beauty contest
at a summer escort. "I can see a
redhead girl any time, tho," he sadi.
In hopes that the exercise would
strengthen his right leg, which has
been impaired almost since birth,
George Steutermann, of St. Louis,
began riding a bicycle in 1920. To
day he has pedaled 60,000 miles, he
figures.
Soil-Conserving Crop
Seed Should Be Saved
"Do it again, Daddy," was the joy
ous approval of the ' four-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. L.
Wilson, of Georgetown, Cal., when
their car went off tha highway and
landed in a canyon 200 feet below.
No one was injured.
An onion growing contest in Ar
kansas has brought forth claims
from two men for producing the larg
est specimens. Wiley Lipscomb has
dsiplayed" to the judges an onion
measuring 12 inches in circumfer
ence, and W. C. Holland has entered
a 15-inch speciman.
' Port wine, the vintage which took
its name from the town of Porto,
Portugal, also gave the name "port"
to the left side of a ship, accord
ing to seafaring men. The port side
is called, one explanation goes, be
cause it used to display a red lan
tern, the light of which had the
towny color of port wine.
Burglars who looted a warehouse in
Davis, Cal., successfully solved the
the problem long enough to escape. j
They liberated a swarm oi sees in i
the warehouse and it was necessary
to send to a nearby city for bee
haiulling equipment before the local
authorities could even ascertain
what had been stolen.
It took a posse of 75 men at
Charleston, IH., to catch a one-legged
man charged with theft. The
man, Henry Hodge, a one-legged
transcient, stole Miss Verna Poston's
purse while begging a handout at
h..- home. He was found in a hobo
camp.
RALEIGH, Aug. 17 North Car
olina farmers are being u-ed to
save seed of soil-conserving crops to
plant or sell next year.
Not only has the drouth reduced
the supply of seed, said Dean I. O.
Schaub, of State College, but indi
cations are that there will be a big
demand for soil-conserving crop
seed in 1937.
In most areas, he said, farmers
are growing as large (juantities of
roughage as possible for livestock
feed.
They have also indicated their in
terest in the purchase of seed sup
plies of grasses and legumes that
will be encouraged fcr 1937 under
the soil-improvement program.
In view of this, the seed supply
of these crops for spring planting is
unusually important.
Where it is practicable for farm
ers to harvest the seed of soil-conserving
crops, they may be able to
supply their own needs and help sup
ply their neighbors.
This will save them the expense
of having to buy seed, and will pro
vide a source of income for those
who have a surplus of seed for sell
ing to those who do have to buy
seed next spring, the dean empha
sized. , Early reports from the bureau of
agricultural economics show that the
reed crops of blueg;rass, orchard
grass, red top, and meadow fescue in
the east central region are only a
bout half as large as they were last
year.
It is believed that dry weather has
affected alfalfa, red clover, and les
pedeza so that the yield of seed will
be less than normal.
RALEIGH, Aug. 19 There are a
number of methods of con'.roilir.g the
fall Army worm, new dam::,:ir.g crops
over much of the Stat-.-, said C. H.
Brannon, extension entomologist at
State College.
Dust calcium arsenate on crops
burned by this material, he said; on
other crops such as corn, beans, and
peas, apply lead arsenate dust to cov
er the plant thoroughly.
Small plants like alfalfa and crab
grass may be protected with appli
cations of poisoned bait. This is es
pecially recommended where the
worms have almost destroyed the
crop.
The bait can be made at home with
one pound of Paris green to 50
pounds of wheat bran. Add two gal
lons of molasses that have been thin
ned with water, and stir thoroughly.
Then pour in enough water to make
the bait crumbly, but not soupy.
Fifty pounds of bait is enough for
five acres. Apply it broadcast in the
evening and do not allow poultry
or animals access to treated fields.
Smaller amounts of bait can be mix
ed in the same proportion.
If desired, two pounds of calcium
arsenate may be substituted for the
pound of Paris green in the bait,
Brannon continued.
When the worms nre migrating,
they can be trapped by plowing a
deep furrow at right angles to their
course of advance. Shallow holes dug
at intervals in the furrow and filled
with gas oils or kerosene will kill
the worms.
Where it is not possible to plow a
furrow, a thin line of coal tar placed
a little distance ahead of the worms
will keep them from invading neigh
boring fields.

RALEIGH, Aug. 19 Fifteen mil
lion trees, shrubs, and vines are grow
ing in the Soil Conservation Service
nurseries at Polkton and Chapel Hill
this year to supply the needs during
the next planting season of the eight
demonstration areas and 20 CCC
camps doing erosion control work in
North Carolina, according to L. B.
Scott, Regional Nurseryman of the
Soil Conservation Service in the
Southeast.
About 280 acres of land have been
leased for nursery purposes at Polk
ton. The nursery at Chapel Hil is
located on land belonging to the Uni
versity of North Carolina. Nearly
119 acres of land are included in the
tract. Plantings consist mostly of
hardwopds and pine.
Seed planted in the spring was ob
tained last fall by CCC enrollees, who
collected pine cones, locust pods, and
other hardwood seed.
At planting time last spring fine
seed beds were prepared in the nur
sery, and the seed was treated to
hssten germination. Then the seeds
we:e planted and the seedlings were
watered, shaded, and protected from
rodents and birds during the first few
weeks. Seed beds were kept free
from weeds.
If the season is conducive to rapid
growth, seedlings will be lifted this
fall and distributed to demonstration
and camp areas for planting on erod
ed land.
Trees produced by the Soil Conser
vation Service nurseries, says Scott,
are grown primarily to protect land
from erosion. Moreover, the new
forests in a few years will produce
revenue on land formerly to badly
eroded to grow crops.
The condition of the animal, the
club member. 's record, and the tiub
membeis' activity during the year
will all be taken into consideration
in determining the winner, Harrill
stated.
The winner must be eligible to en
ter college, and his application for
entiance to college must be accepted
piior to the opening of the college
term the next fall.
Selection of the winner and the
awarding of the scholarship will be
made under the supervision of the 4-
H. club department of the Agricul
tural Extension Service at State Col
lege. The scholarship will be good for a
course in dairying, as the associa
tion wishes it to go to a club mem
ber who will continue his work in
that field.
Those interested in competing fof
this or other schlarships now offered
for excellence in club work are ask
ed to get in touch with their coun
ty agents or L. R. Harrill of State
College, Raleigh.
Scholarship Offered
To 4-H Club Members
RALEIGH, Aug. 19 A one-year
scholarship to 'State College will be
awarded by the National Cottonseed
Products Association to the North
Carolina 4-H club member who
grows and exhibits the best dairy
calf at the State Fair this fall.
The scholarship, designed to stim
ulate interest in dairy calf club
work and in the value of feeding a
balanced ration, will be open to any
bona fide 4-H club member from 10
to 20 years of age, said L. R. Har
rill, 4-H club leader at the college.
Since the association feels that
boys who own their calves will take
a greater interest in calf club work,
it requires that all competitors for
the scholarship must exhibit their
own calves at the fair.
