received from Fort Brag.
Young men of this community

the camp must make application

stated, as vacancies remaining in

SEARS ADVISES
ABOUT BLUE MOLD
, ALSO GIVES INSTRUCTIONS
I ON HOW TO FIGHT TOBAC
CO INSECTS AND GARDEN
PESTS.
From all reports the blue mold,
which is one of the worst
jemmies of young tobacco plants,
■ has not damaged very many
| plant beds in this county. In the
: Eastern and Central part of the
I state it has appeared on the
: majority of the plant beds and in
many cafl"> has practically de
stroyed ad plants. There is no
known spray that will prevent
blue niolj 100 per cent and at
present the recommended pract
ice is t 0 keep the plants growing
by the use of nitrate of soda, or
some other fertilizer, and to re
move the plant bed covers so
that the sun may shine directly
on the plants as much as possi
ble. If the plant bed is moist,
the conditions iare mone favor
able for the growth of blue mold.
Control of Tobacco Insects
Within a few more weeks, to
bacco farmers will be faced with
the problem 0 f fighting insects
that are injurious to the tobacco
crop. We have a bulletin which
is Extension Circular No. 174
titled "Control of Tobacco In
' sects'' which contains the latest
recommendations on the control
of tobacco insects such as Flea
Bugs, Bud Worms, Horn Worms,
i
I Cut Worms, and other insects
| which injure tobacco. If those
! who are interested in obtaining
'this bulletin will drop me a letter
! requesting it, I will be glad to
mail them a copy as long as our
supply lasts.
Control of Vegetable Pests
in the Garden.
For the control of insect p>ss
the first essential is good equip
jn- Jit. For the honi): gardener,
the piece of equipment of most
gmeral use is a compressed air
sprayer of 2 or 3 gallons capac
ity. A hand duster is also de
sirable. The second essential is
a supply of spray and dust ma
terials. The home gardener is
Jiot usually 'equiped with scales
for weighing small amounts and
must therefore seek some means
of measurng thje materials. An
8-ounce glass measuring cup is
quite useful for this purpose. It
is graduated in thirds and
quarters and is suitable for mea
suring most materials. The fol
lowing control measures are sug
gested for some of the principal
pests: Bean Beetle- Spray with
magnesium arsenate at the rate
of one ounce(l-3 cup) to 3 gal
lons of wiater or dust with a com
mercial prepared powder con
taining .75 per cent of Rotenone.
Begin dusting when the beet
les become nnumfcrous and when
the egg clusters are first obser
ved. Direct the spray or dust to
under side of leaves. Flea Beet
les on Potatoes, Egg Plants,
Tomatoes, and the striped Cu
cumber Beetle on Cantaloupes,

Mr. George, who is a former
j Stokes boy, a son of the late Rev.

one «. i«je outstanding citizens of
t Virginia, having been
at tho forefront of the develop
j ment in roads, schools and in

that section of Virginia famous
'and prosperous. Mr. George has
represented Patrick county Dem

Hou3e of Delegates, which cor
responds to our legislature. He
is a leading business man of
Stuart. , 4
Mr. George was rather undecid
ded when questioned as to his at

ation of the Supreme Court as
advocated by President Roose

h. tlii.iks, in taking in s.iil,
| Mr. George say:* the big
hydro-electric development on up
l>:r Dan river, in Patrick County,
is steadily going forward. This is
a $3,000,000 project in which tho
city of Danville, assisted by tho
federal WPA is building a powor
da m at the Pinnacles of the Dan
which will furnish power and
lights to the city, wheh is at a
distance of about 30 miles.
Stuart ia filled with govern
ment engineers, contractors, ar
chitects, and all that array of
personnel which may be expected
to accompany such a huge enter
prise as the Pinnacle develop
ment.
Those who have visited the
Pinnacles describe it as a place of
remarkable natural beauty. The
Dan curves in the scrg? of a tre
mendously high mountain, y»av
i°g a place of natural power and
development which the wide-a
wake Virginians have seized for
utility purposes.
As soon as the new ronis they
build are completed, Stokes people
will find it much to theii interest
to) visit it. It is about 15 or 20
miles beyond Stuar*.
