A RICHER RURAL LIFE
One of the major aims of my ad
ministration shall be to improve ag
riculture and rural life in North Car
olina. I have already been in confer
ence with agricultural and scientific
leaders looking to a better correla
tion of our agricultural forces to the
«nd that a practical agricultural pro
gram may be launched in my admin
istration, designed to make farming
more profitable and rural life more
wholesome. It is my ambition to see
our agricultural activities move up in
line with out industrial advance. —
Governor 0. Max Gardner, in his in
augural address.
BUY AT HOME
The paragraph below is taken from
a bulletin issued to its members of
the Canton (111.) Chamber of Com
merce, but which is just as applicable
to other towns:
Buy at home. If you spend your
money with your home merchant you
have the goods and he has the money
—both left in Marion. If you buy in

New York Saved $300,000
by Schedule Change.
Fruit growers in New York state
saved $300,000 last year through a
change recommended by the state col
lege of agriculture in the conventiou-
al spray schedule. This change was
suggested by members of the exten
sion staff at the state college who had
discovered by a careful survey that
the San Jose scale, at one time a most
serious pest of the apple, had prac
tically disappeared from a majority
of the orchards. The lessened num
ber of these insects made it possible
for growers to reduce the amount of
lime sulphur in the so-called delayed
dormant spray, since the strong solu
tion was no longer necessary to con
trol the pest. The college advised
fruit growers to make this change
through its spray service organization.
The farm bureaus of twenty-odd
counties conduct this spray service
under the guidance of the state col
lege of agriculture. The men study
the development of insects and dis
eases in their particular localities and
inform fruit growers when to spray
for particular insects and what kind
and strength of spray to use. In each
