Blue Moid round As Far West As Wake County College Station. Raleigh. April I?6. —Biue mold h.is ippemed in tobacco plant bods all over southeastern North Carolina, and the disease has been found as tar west as Wake county. Hovaivl R. Garrss. assistant Extension plant pathologist of X. C. State college, reported today. "Until he said, "the attack of blue mold has been in scattered locations bait the weather conditions of the past veek have been ideal for the developm ent of the disease, and it is believer that a geneera! out break can be expected by the end or this week." The specialist reco:mvended that the red or yellow copper oxide spray tieatment be used .inly in localities where the disease has not yet ap peared. "The spray is a preventive and will not control the disease af ter it has invaded the plant bed." he advised. , However. Garriss said that lumiga jtion with either paradichlorobenzene jor benzol will control blue mold when it is present in the plant ueo. IFor this type of treatment it is neces sary to plant beos which can be jtnade "air-tight" and this will rc j quire heavy cov ers to keep the l'umes within the plant bed. The Extension specialist said that growers in the old belt can reason ably expect blue mold within a |week. They should begin the use of the spray treatment immediately if } their plants are the size of a quarter or larger. Persons not planning to use the spray, should use the time remaining before the outbreak of ; the disease to make theeir plant beds ; airtight. Garriss turned that only the cop per oxide spray, and the two fumi ganN are recommended by the Ex tension Service for blue mold control. Gravely Plugs For Roosevelt Third Term Dail> Dispatch Bureau.

' Basing his statements on the an nual survey of potential employment by the School of Engineering, he an nounced: "in the light of present commit ments and future prospects, it ap pears that from 30 per cent, to 90 per cent of the graduates in the School ot Engineering will be em ployed by commencement time, and that practically all of them will have located positions by Sept. 1." "The number of calls for 1940 graduates is about the same in each ol the nine engineering departments asslast year's, with the exception of the aeronautical engineering field in which there is a considerably in creased demand", Dean Van Leer re ported. Abe Pickus, Cleveland's self-ap pointed telephone "ambassador", after vainly attempting to get Mus solini on the trans-Atlantic phone, says II Duce talks too much aboiu war. But, evidently not Abe.

DORSEY, Tax Collector for Vance County, Isaiah Comforts An Afflicted People "BRASS TACKS' ON THE SUNDAY SCH'JOL LESSON By NEWMAN CAMPBELL. (The Intel national Uniform Lesson t,n the above topic for April 28 is Isaiah 40. the Golden Text being Psalm 46:1. "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.") The prophets of the Old Testament dime from all walks of life. Micah. ;is we saw last week, was ;i simple | countryman. Isaiah, on the other hand, was an aristocrat and a city man. living in Jerusalem. His fath er's name was Amo/.. He was the court preacher and exerted a great deal ol influence all through his vears «'f prophecy, until paganizing 'influences came into power, when tradition says he was martyred. Isaiah is called the greatest ol the prophets. His career is thought to have extended from about 740 to 701 13. C. The part of Isaiah which is con tained in our lesson is thought by some not to be this propeht's, and is attributed to an "unknown prophet." It is very beautiful, nevertheless, and must have comforted his afflict ed fellow countrymen even as mil lions today are helped by the mar velous promises. •'Comfort ye. comfort ye My peo ple. saith your God." Isaiah's name is symbolic of his message, for it means "Jehovah saves" or "Jehovah is salvation." He is called the St. Paul of the Old Testament. He hated and denounced in no uncertain terms the wickedness of the day—fraud, oppression. dishonesty. idolatry, apostasy. He was bold and earnest. I Prophesies Coming of John. This fortieth chapter of Isaiah is a prophecy of the coming of John the Baptist and promises that the people of Israel at last will triumph over Their enemies. "The voice of one that crieth, Pre-i pare ye in the wilderness the way of] Jehovah; make level in the desert a highway for our God. ' "Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be I made low: and the uneven shall be made level, and the rough places plain; "And the glory of Jehovah shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: lor the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken it." The reference to the forerunner or "one that crieth Prepare." was un derstood by the Orientals, for during thousands of years, when a potentate .••i.nounced that lie would travel over a certain highway, men were sent to that place to remove all obstacles to comfortable travel, to level the high places and remove rocks, per haps to widen a road when a part of it had been made dangerous by a landslide so that the royal personage might be in danger of slipping off down n precipice. Isaiah also reminds his people of the impermanence of man in these beautiful words: "The voice of one saying. Cry. And one said. What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness there of is as the flower of the field. "The grass withereth. the flower fadetli: but the word of our God shall stand forever." That surely is comfort for these troubled times Men who rule unjustly who are tyrannous and persecute their fellows shall pass, for "the grass' withereth. the flower fadeth" and so do they in a short time, but the word of our God—and His i ighteousness— shall stand forever." And he goes on: "Behold, the Lord Jehovah will come as a mighty one, and His arm will rule for Him: Be hold. His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him. "Ho will feed His flock like a shepherd. He will gather the lambs in His arm, and carry them in His Che (5ol6eti (Text •■•■•v i -.-s "God is Cur refuge and strengin, a very present help in trouble." —I's. 40:1. bosom, and will gently lead those that have their young." The same thought is carried fur ther on in the chapter. "Behold, the nations are as a drop in the bucket, and a'e counted as the small dust of iho balance: behold He taketh up the i: les as a very little thing." "To whom then will ye liken God?" Isaiah asks. Me tells of the work man who molts a graven image, cov ering it with gold and trimming it with silver chains, but this image should not be worshiped. Ii will bring no .comfort. "Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of Ihq ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is 110 searching of His understanding. "Ho giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might He in creaseth strength. "Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fail: "But they that wait upon Ihe Lord shall renew their strength: they shall mount up with wings as eagles: they shall run, and not be weary: and they shall waik, and not faint." Truly,. Isaiah "comlorteth his peo ple." and ail those who will rely on these promises. SEED SHORTAGE IS ATTRIBUTED TO WAR College Station. Raleigh, April 26. A shortage of hairy vetch and crim son clover seed because of the Euro pean War was forecast here today by C. AI. Brickhousc. southeastern district farm agent of the State Col lege Extension Service, who attend ed a Triple-A conference in Wash ington at which the outlook of the 1941 farm pvogram was discussed. He says farmers should make plans to save such seed yherever possible. Residential Building Boom Continues In North Carolina Daily Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, April 26.—North Caro lina's residential building boom, noticeable to anyone who gets around the state, is still in lull swing, ac cording to a summary of March building permits prepared by the statistical division of the state De partment of Labor. The March recapitulation shows an increase of 33 per cent in number and 69.5 per cent in total estimated cost of residential buildings lor which permits were secured in March, 1940, lis compared with similar totals for March, 1939. Permits were issued last month to construct 338 new residential struc tures, as compared with 254 last March: the cost of this year's esti mated at $1,567,423 as against $924, 575 in the corresponding month last year. The increase over permits for Feb ruary, 1939, was even more strik ing; but this involves a seasonal fac tor which makes comparison of March and February totals some what meaningless. The increase in residential build ing was accompanied by an exact stand-off in non-residential con struction for March, 1939 and 1940, in number of buildings and a 44.9 per cent drop in cost of those non residential structures for which per mits were issued this March us com pared with last. Figures were 86 buildings to cost $978,549 last Ma»ch against the same number of buildings to cost only $539,509 this. Additions, alterations and repairs decreased 16.3 percent in number (from 344 to 288) but increased 14.2 per cent in cost (from $202,862 to $231,623).
