Poison Tobacco Worms
With Lead Arsenate
A mixture of corn meal and
arsenate of lead dropped Into tha
tobacco bud at this season will con
tobacco bed at this season will con.
has begun to appear in epidemic
form in a number of counties.
"It take** only a small pinch if
the corn meal bait to poison the j
bud worm on each plant but this
I pinch must be dropped squarely j
1 into the bud of the plant," says C.
I
H. Brannon, extension entomologist
I !
at State College. "We have had
I t
requests from a number of growers
in the last few days asking for in.
formation about controlling this
I
pest and it seems to have startid
in full force thus season. The halt
should be applied promptly and .£
tli" treatment is done as it should
: he. th.. worms are easily controlled."
For large amoi tits of the l air,
Mr I Iran non says mix one pound
of ar.en ite of lend to ."0 pounds of
porn me i.l. i: the meal is yhuckv
I
it should be sifted. The mixing
must be done thoroughly and i.s

the operator of getting the bait
squarely on the small hud. If there

take nbr-ui a peck of the bait to in

i The application best made early
'in the morning when the bud of Uie

Mr. Hrannon s>ug:re='s tihat the

to two weeks after (he plants are I
I

applications until the worms have
done serious damage. To do so may
be to lofi» valuable tobacco.

Use Canned Foods
To Balance Diet
Not only does canning surplus J
vegetables and fruits in summer j
save money in winter nd assur«
| tha family of an adequate food sup. j
ply but it also improves the general
! health of the family by balancing
I |
the diet.
"Seme 2 50 farm women in Pitt
county have learned this important
lesson." says Miss Ethel Nice, home
agent. "We have been studying
foods and nutrition in our 11 home
demonstration clubs of this coun-.y
I
during the past two years and we'
i
have found that good nutrition an.l!
.
canning go hand in hand. In r.'.'H,
there were IS canning demnnstri-'
tions given before the club women
and as a result. "3.2."* jars of fruits
• I
nnd vegetable.* were saved bv can.
nittg and preserving. If this I'M.'l
was Valued at only ill rents a qua l ",
the total would amount to . I.
I
051.tilt. While litis saving is ■■ u
an important item a: a time when
money scarce the more import int
thing is tbe better health of the
farm families having a better bil
' aneed diet." i
i i
1 For two years now. I'itt f.t'it
'women have sudied the valtt- of
| i
different foods and the part th >y
| play in nutrition ol th" body lit
lliiM. the Wonts •; Millie.! ce: Mis,
vegetables and eggs. So far ibis
■
v.-jf lit-- studies have centered a'lotit
1 meats, salads and breads. There
are few club women who do no?*
I know the essentials of a good diet
! an.l how to prepare meals that will
j
! supply the balanced diet necessary'
jto continued good health. The wo.
I men are now purchasing pressure'
cookers so that they may can sur-j
plus meats and other product?,
j i
! The.se canners are supplied by,
Greenville merchants and paid for j
in fresh and canned produce. Miss
Nice says.
There are 3,721 white farm fam- (
flies in Pitt county and the goal of |
i the home demonstration forces I
1 |
ii.s to reach each of these this sea.
jfion so that they may serve a bal- ■
anced diet next winter.
The recent damp, cloudy weather
ha*i caused tobacco blue mold to
appear on plants set In the open j
field, report some growers. They ■
pay the disease can play havoc with
large plants as well as with those :
in the bed.
