rt rf) THE YEAR IN ADVANCE IN THE 3 ,'INTY SYLVA^ N. C? MAY 15, 1925 > '$2.qq THE YEAR IN^AD VANCE OPT SH)E THE COUNTY >T ROSE BUSHES TO PREVENT DISEASE { \ - Raleigh, May 13.?Powdery mil sititl blotch, two very eoiniiion gist's of the rose, now beginning [appear, may be controlled ef [ivcly by dusting with sulphur pnate made by mixing 19 parts ot' f|v pound sulphur to one part of powdered arsenate of lead. this dust material amounts al st to a specific for the two rose eases. The material should be [roughly mixed before applying and ^tcd on the plants with a dust gui\ <Iiisf?nWi is not available one may the home-made dcvice of a oioth k on a jH>le. pr. F. A. Wolf, plant disease iu tetiirntor for the North Carolina Ex nmout Station, recommends that dust be put on when the plants damp with dew or rain. Several plications at intervals of a few \s may be necessary to brim? the ;tasr iimler control but best sue J ,s always follows where the dust is started with tin; first appear-1 ire of the disease. , Dr. Wolf states :'ict the Rambler du|? of roses is subject to mildew j |t it is not destructive to bush rose s; tin- other hand, blotch is eouMncd | uiust entirely to bush roses and | mix all ramblers are five from its | ? t tack. The mildew is characterized a frosty* or powdery. coating en Ii' loaves, young stems and flower ids. the affected leaves become cur!-1 ami twisted and drop oif prema- j I rely. The affected buds either fail' o|>eii or the ilowers are imperfect. |otch shows itself by the presence large black patches on the leaves, the blotches develop, the leaves] Iconic light green, then yellow and \:iily drop off. This will so weaken j |c vigor of the plant that few flow will be formed. "Dusting is better than spraying,'' kys Dr. Wolf, "because the liquid prays discolor the foliage and, overs with the dried coating." SHOAL CREEK Rev. W. Roan Yokley preached at , ( , ?' . ?

CROP REPORT Tho wheat crop in North Carolina had a record breaking yield last year! While tin* inil crop basis used by tho j government shows 11.4 bn. hels per acre, .tho abnormally good yield last year aviva-jed at least 12 bushels. The rep.n from correspondents over the state i'or May 1st shows the con dition of 87 percent to be the sa ne at this date as it was a year ago. From previous experience, it has been . found) that the crop may make or break between May 1st and ?Tunc 1st. While the prospects are now the same as last year, it is doubted if the yield will be 51s good. The production last year was 5,544, 000 bushels in North Carolina. This year's prospect is for about 20 per cent less, due to a decrease in acre age and the probable yield. $ince it was planted, there ap|>cars to be a. 2.5 per cent abandonment in "acreage, although the winter was mild and little damage by cold weaMier occur red. The average price a year ago was $1.30 per bushel, as compared with $1.72 on April ,15th. This is a third more than the juice received last year. ; ? ' The National Wheat outlook is also one-third short of last year. The con dition of the crop shows 77 percent of a full crop as compared with 85 rather heavy abandonment, d,uc to un favorable seasons since planting Tho present price of wheat is $1.41 as compared with 90 last year. Kansas, Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota show appreciably better wheat prospects than ihey did a year atjo. The acre ago of the country's wheat crop was considerably reduced. The North Carolina Oat crop, with a condition of 85 per cent, sho^fcj# per cent to be spring oats and 4(5 per cent fall-sown. 1 Tho April 15 prices of farm. pro ducts iH'ixtrted from all p.u l:s ol North Carjtii.a were as ' follows: Corn .Yl.42 p?*r bu; Cats 70c; Kvo i*l.51; iiiicsctau* *1.34; Irish pota toes $1.01-; l.aose hay $21.00 per ton Cotton 23 ~>v: >\vect potatoes 1.50 and butti" ">Sc. r |>ound.

Tin; pros pects are not ar.i!?v s od th.s year, as the rhyractonia disease and reduced acreage will perhaps con siderably affect the total production. It is estimated thai, on an average: 37 per cent of the plowing for spring planting was done by May }st, while /'8 per cent of lhe planting was com pleted by that date. Over the country it large 83 per cent of tho plowing and 66 percent of the planting was completed. The outlook for the apple 6rop is fairly good with 70 per cent con dition reported for the State. Con ditions for both apples and peaches ire unfavorable in ihc mountain eoun ties. Peaches show a condition of .73 per cent, with very good prospects 'n.the Sand Hills heavy conimeicial producing area.

AN EASY WAY TO SAVE CLOVER SEED Raleigh, May 13.?One of the greatest drawback to sowing more legumes in North Carolina is the cost of seed. With some legumes this may be overcome by saving seed at home. ,r_ i Extension workers of the State Col lege of Agriculture find that this is easy with Crimson .clover. Simply let an acre or two get fairly ripe, mow it,\and put it in a barn with a tight floor. Feed this to cattle during the summer; it,is not first-class hay, but much better roughage than straw or coin stover. When feeding this roughage, beat it well with the pitch fork, so as to shatter off the seed, then rake up the seed and sow them in the hull. ''By this method" says E. C. Blair Extension Agronomist, "one farmer saved enough seed from two acres to sow thirty acres on his own farm, and had a large quantity to sell. The largest yields of seed arc obtained on land that is not above medium ferti lity. On rich soils the tendency is to produce more stem and leaf growth, with fewer seed." In sowing Crimson Clover in 1 he hull, Mr. Blair recommends the use of thirty pounds of seed per acre,' sown about three weeks before the time of sowing cleaned seed. The unhulled seed are harder to sow evenly, he states, and it takes them longer to come up than cleaned seed. Oii the other hand the young clover is less apt to be injured by drought, since i,t takes considerable moisture to penetrate the hull and cause the seed to germinate.

Wil son and a poem "Gray Jackets" given by Mrs. C. Z. Candler The program closed with "Dixie", play ed by Mrs. J. L. Dillard.

The value of the corn crop is greater than the value of any other crop grown in this country. Now is a good time to be looking over the stfiaH grain field to select those areas that will be saved for seed. Seed of A brum rye, Fulghum and Appier oats and pure bred wheat are especially in demand, says Dr. R. Y. Winters of State College. Eggs are valuable as a food be cause they contain protein, fat, min erals and vitamins in a readily di gestive form. According to Dr. B. F. Kaupp of State College < they ap proach closely to being a perfect food. CAR PLUNGES IN TUCKASEIGEE Sunday afternoon a car, said to have boon ni\en by nc-i,ioes, smash ed into a Dodge coupe,on the road near LVirkftd Lieek, knoc cl-.f it into the liver with the occupants, tlM vener able Ace Enloe, and his son, of Jud 3Q. The touring ear did not stop to ee the fate of the Enloes, bnt con- f tinued on its journey toward Sylva. The dastardly deed was t=een from .. the home of Sain Jones, and people there rushed to the rescue, finding young Enloe and his father both in the river, the younger man support ing his father and attempting to bring him to shore. Assistance was given, aud both men were, brought to the oank with minor ip.juries. , The names of the occupan-s- of the car that caused the trouble have not been learned. v . Mr. Enloe, who is quite an old man was 011 his way to an Asheville hos pital, and was being driven there by his son, hwen the touring car, going in the same direction, smashed into his car, a.ui kw,; ked it int.) t' c nver. . Miii-h indignation has bce? ex pressed by the citizenship 'of this region over the action of the people, who did not even stop to learn the ' fate of their victims, to ascertain if they were killed,or to assist them in getting from the river before they could drown. Only the presence of mind of young Enloe, who opened the wind shield glass, as the car went over, making a way for his father and r himself to escape, saved them from > drowning in the Tuckaseigee, that river of Western North Carolina, so beautiful, so peaceful, yet that has claimed so many victims as its own. i ?1 o 1111 GAY The farmers of this locality are about done planting corn. Wheat { crops are looking very well. We have hopes of a reasonable amount of fruit. I ? Mr. and Mrs. N. P?. Jones observed a home coming day on May 3, nt their home on Betty's Creek.
