5E CHINESE DOCTRINE ON SWEE? POTATOES Raleigh. March 7. ? Black rot, scarf i,l other diseases of the sweet po may be prevented by dipping ,e roots in a solution of corrosive ibliinau* be tore betiding, says G. W. ant, extension worker in plant dis hes tor the State College and Pe utmerit of Agriculture. Mr. Fant bows (lint tliis preventative measure of '-'re ! value in increasing the Quality of potatoes produced and ihoniii be followed as faithfully as1 l,e Celestials of China practice their loctriiic of preventative medicine. 1 Seed sweet i>otatoes can be steri 1lZt,,[ by using four ounces of the ublimate to 30 srallons of water and lie roots allowed to stand in f;he so ?u^.i from eight to 10. minute^ rThey me then allowed to dry. Clean never used before for bedding .,1(1 contniiiing no refuse from pre vious crops, is recommended by Mr. I [Kant i"i us as bedding. He states that potatoes so treated arc fit for bciiiliii- only as the poison is ab sorbs! in the skin of the root and therefore cannot be used for food, j Care must be taken with. the cor rosive sublimate as it ig a violent poison both to Animals and humans. The solution in which it is used alsf rows weaker as the potatoes are dipjied and must be renewed t for laive amounts. The qilantit of seed to\ treat will determine the amount needed to be made up and the seed should be treated inunediate |v before bedding. The ]>oison cor , rodes metal and so wooden barrels should be Used for holding the so I lutioii. These recommendations are ( made by Air.

' ' Meat, white bread, and potatoes ! do not contain the food elements ne cessary for the proper growth ot boys and girls," was a statement in last week's issue of the Journal. These foods have their placo in the diet, but when used in excess the child is being deprived of a sacred birth-right, the right to be well nour ished. If your child is Jo be physical ly iit, the following foods should be included in his daily diet, one quart of milk, fresh fruit, and vegetables. These foods contain an element, which promotes growth . and main tains life. ' Meat, white bread, and potatoes, are very deficient in the growth promoting and t^e life giving ele ments. Meat is classed as a body builder, and vyhite bread, and po tatoes give* heat and energy. Eggs are one of the most important body builders that we have, and should , be included in the diet of the grow ing child. They also score very high as growth promoters, and life givers. If eggs are included in the diet, the amount of .meat necessary is a minimum quantity. Only 57 1HT cent of pork is digested, and 92 pbr cent of an egg, if it is properly prepared. If you fry an egg, or "scramble" it in lard, you reduce its digestibility to 64 per cent. Omelets, creamed eggs, jellied, soft; boiled, po 'chod eggs on toast, and eggs "scrambled" with butter in a double boiler, are some of the best methods of preparation. fH: all the foods consumed, milk is '.1 st important. It is a body '? >! ? ; r .wtb pr ot-r, fud en m1 _i life rinlnt liner. If r ? d r f rweet milk each day, you h.svc ;h on '? ? pr c t g : d health, greater resistance to disease, and happinss , and efficiency in later life. It has well been said that, "The health, happiness, and efficiency of a1 nation depend upon the food it 'eats." If your child does not* like sweet milk look in next week's issue of the JOURNAL, lor methods of con cealing a quart of milk in the daily (tot. BEES REED CARE IN , I ^ ; MAEOH AND APRIL Raleigli, March* *7,? 4 * The qual ity of honey produced this season by any colony of been will depend largely ou the care given them during March and April," is "the remind*;?, given bee keepers by C. L. ' Sams of the Agricultural Extension Service. He states that the entire force of work- 1 er bees which gat^kr the surplus! honey most be reared during .the eight weeks prior to the honey flow. This flow comes in April and Bfyy in easter and central North /Carolina and in May and June in tlite western section." In all three sections, the surplus honey will depend on hav ing an excess population of work-' era at the beginning of the honey flow^The bees, in obedience to their own instinct, build up the( excess population in time for the honey flow;provided they have environments whieh enable them to cany out their instincts, Mr. Sams states that the requirements for a normal colony with a good qufeen are plenty of stores, adequate space ior brood rearing, and a hive which gives pro]>er protection, Whefe thesethreee ssentials were pro vided last fall, the bees will natur ally rear all the worSbrs necessary to gather a maximum crop. 1 f I The most common cause of failure is a deficiency in the amount of stores finds Mr. Sams. At this season each colony should have at leats fifteen pounds of honey. In most localities bees will not rear the brood to best advantage- with a less amount of stores in the hive. Any deficiency in stores can be supplied by feeding a syrup made of granulated sugar "and water suggests lfr.Sams.Tlie colonies should be feed rapidly until they have consumed 15 or 20 pounds of ? this syrup. ' ? t "Honey should never be used in feeding bees unless it is known to be free from disease," says Mr. Sams. "Do not let the bees run short of stores. They will' pay well for the time and expense of feeding. When any deficiency in stores is permitted to continue, the bees must either starve or dwindle along in a miser ffliywlttl iBMlWH" - 9 1 " WILL TIGHT BEAM BEETLE ( Raleigh, March 7. ? In announcing e recent appointment of James C. Crawford as assistant inEntomology, ranklin Sherman, Chief of the Di % * vision, states that his division will* im mediately begin work in studying tin? best way to control the Mexican Bean Beetle a destructive insect which is now in the western part- of t'ie State. Mr. Crawford will ^ave charge of the field investigations and will probably be located at Bryson City or some other point in that sec tion. The bean be?le has now ap peared in destructive numbers in eight of the southwestern counties, having been found to date ito Hen- 1 derson, Transylvania, Jackson, Swain ' Macon, Graham, Cherdkee, and Clay counties. V ; j ) The new worker who will study "methods of controlling this pest is a lative of Nebraska, where he at .^ndcd the University and was later assistant in Entomology. He took !iis advanced degree at George Wash ington University at Washington, D. C. and was for years attached to the Federal Department of -Agriculture. He also had several years experience at the National Museum where he wa9 associate Curator ia ch:M?'e of the ? i. sect department.
