pine Beetles Ravage Many
Valuable Trees.
Southern pine beetles have been
tavaging valuable pine trees over
:;otth Carolina this summer, aceord
jn gto Rufus H. Page, Jr., assistants
extension forecaster at State College.
Beetles are most often found where
pine debris has been left on the
ground to give them a breeding place,
he stated.
To breed in sufficient numbers to
successfully attack and enter healthy
trees, the beetles must first enter dis
eased or damaged trees or freshly cut
pine stumps or pine debris.
Delaying pine cutting until the
middle of September will check beetle
attacks, Page continued. But if pines
are being cut before that time, a
number of precautions can be exer
cised to protect the living trees.
Remove all the trunk and limbs of
felled pines that are more than two
inches in diameter. Lop smaller limbs
and biush and scatter well so they
will fce exposed to wind and sunshine.
Peel all high, freshly cut pine
stumps to ground level and burn or
otherwise remove bark from the
etand.
Clear away pines that display a yel
lowish-green foliage and around
whose base is found reddish sawdust
like material. “S-shaped” galleries in
the inner bark are a sure sign of pine
beetles.
Remove from the stand all trees
that are badly diseased, damaged, or
BIRD CORNER
"Have people been asking- you
about a ‘little yellow bird’ they are
seeing? It is yellow underneath with
black about the throat, and one ob
server says its upperparts are olive
green. What do you suppose it is?”
The meadowlark is yellow under
neath with a black crescent about
the neck and he is around, but he is
not a Tittle bird.’ He is about the size
of a robin. The bird is evidently one
of the warblers that are spending the
summer with us. The question is
"which one?” Among the warblers
with yellow underparts and with
black markings about the throat are
the Lawrence, Bachman, Canadian —
all of which are very, very rare birds
in North Carolina, the magnolia, the
hooded, and the prairie. The earliest
fall arrival of the magnolia on his
way to the far south is September
11 for Raleigh. This fact almost cer
tainly eliminates the magnolia war
bler. The hooded warber has been
here all summer and win be until
some time in September. l*he' black
hood of the female is greatly reduced,
sometimes absent altogether; so this
bird may he the female hooded war
bler; or if the black consists of
streaks on the sides of the breast, it

tions start from a single weakened
tree.
Cooperation among land-owners is
necessary, as little good can be accom
plished by cleaning one area if tim

source of infestation, Page warned.
Time To Plant Fall and
Winter Gardens.
Farm families who wish to enter
the fall and winter garden contest
sponsored by the State College exten
sion service are urged to start plant
ing their gardens as soon as possible.
The first step recommended by ex
tension specialists is that of prepar
ing the soil and supplying it with
plenty of stable manure or other or
ganic matter.
Among the vegetables that may be
planted in August are: Broccoli, mus
tard, Swiss chard, endive, lettuce,
cauliflower, cabbage, turnips, carrots,
beets, celery, collards, snap beans,
lima beans, sugar corn and tomatoes.
Broccoli, cauliflower, and Chinese
cabbage may be planted in hills 15
inches apart, or the seed may be
sown in plant beds and transplanted
later. Side dress the plants with nit
rate of soda three to four weeks after
transplanting.
Sow celery in plant beds and cover
with burlap or heavy paper, but re
move the covering as soon as plants
appear above ground. Transplant to
field 6 to 8 weeks later. Set plants
in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart.
Celery will not mature in acid soil.
Wood ashes or hydrated lime broad
cast over the soil a month before
plants are transplanted will aid in
maturing the celery.
Sugar corn should be planted early
in August except in sections where
liost is delayed.
Lettuce may be sown in seed beds
partially shaded during the day. Cove.'
bod with a layer of woods litter a.id
water thoroughly once a week. Trans
plant to a partially shaded plot., and
give a side dressing of nitrate of soda
a few weeks later.
Question: Is there any fertilizing
value in tobacco stalks that are plow
ed under in the fall?
Answer: There is a certain amount
of benefit to the soil, but the greatest
benefit will come from the control of
inject pests. Stalks that stand in the
fold after harvest furnish food and
a wintering place for a large supply
of insect pests to attack the tobacco
the following season. All stalks should
be ployed under or cut immediately
after harvest. This also applies to
plant beds where the growing plants
furnish a breeding place for these
pests as to do the suckers on stalks
left in the field.
is likely to be the prairie warbler.
If the observers have mistaken dark
brown for black the bird may be the
parula warbler, which like the hood
ed and prairie is a common summer
resident in Vance county, for in the
fall the upperparts of the parula are
mainly olive green and the brown bar
on the breast is almost if not alto
gether absent
This issue of Bird Corner was to
have been Girl Scouts issue. One of
the troop leaders, however, is just
back after a long absence, and so we
will have to wait until later to hear
what the girl scouts have done in the
past to know and to protect birds and
their program for the year ahead. In
this issue Viola May Hoyle of the
troop composed of the younger girls
gives a description of the cardinal
and tells of some of his hat its; Re
becca Patterson of the older girl troop
gives the list of birds she has come
to know personally in the outdoors
rather than in a book; Rosalie Wat
son, who is also a member of the
older group of scouts, observed in her
garden a sparrow trying to prevent
a wren’s entering his home; and
what she actually observed she has
woven into a little story.
The Cardinal —Viola May Hoyle.
The bright red plumage of the
male has earned the name Cardinal.
This bird is from eight to nine in
ches in length. His grassy nest is
placed in a bush or low evergreen.
The male is quite willing to help build
his nest, but his disposition is so
fiery and he becomes so excited that
he- does little- actual work and often
shows by these outbursts where they
are building and drives his exasperat
ed mate to begin work in another
place. He will sit on the nest to keep
the eggs warm while his mate flies
around and eats, and he also feeds the
mother bird. He will pick up with
his bill a baby bird that has fallen

It was springtime and everybody was
happy. Mama Wren was watching
over her baby Wrens, patiently wait
ing for Papa Wren to show up Mrith
some food. Papa Wren was busily en
gaged in getting some nice juicy
worms for his family. He was a faith
ful Papa and very particular what he
fed his children. Finally when he
had found a plump big worm, he
started home, but upon arriving he
found things a little difficult. He
was not usually a jealous man, but it
got under his feathers to see a male,
and furthermore a Sparrow, perched
on his doorstep talking to his wife.
Papa Wren flew up to Mr. Sparrow
and tried to get in the door, but Mr.
Sparrow was going to be contrary. He
just sat -there. Alas, there was Papa
Wren with a worm tightly held in his
bill, and nothing to do with it. All the
little babies were crying for food.
Then Papa Wren got desperate. He
.darted furiously at Mr. Sparrow, who
was twice his size, and they had a
terrific fight. Villian Sparrow won.
Papa Wren went off and stayed all
night, and the Sparrow ridiculed
Mama Wren so that she could not get
her beauty sleep. The next day, how-
ever,- Papa Wren came and was
really prepared for battle. Mr. Spar
row had not had much sleep the night
before for he had stayed awake teas
ing Mama Wren because of her hus
band’s defeats, and he could not fight
very hard. Papa Wren was victorious.
He had a juicy worm all ready for
Mama and then left to find some
just as delicious for the babies.
