VOL. VIII.—
THIS, MI
UNO THE OTHER
By MRS. THEO. Is. DAVIS
—— |
Some writer has advised that one |
■ ink at every Spring as it' knowing j
he would be blind betore another
to mes. And I have been trying it this
ear. Looking at blossoms carefully
11 as to file away in mind their form:
as well as their beauty; going out tor
ee by moonlight the ghostly glory ot 1
plum trees in full bloom; watching for
ellow jessamine along country roads;
delighting in the sight ol a wide front
v alk to a home outside town, where
Id-fashioned verbena has already cat
I eted with purple the borders on eith
er side; putting in a mental corner
made dark by disappointment the
memory of the .glowing colors ot blue
bird and cardinal. Try it, please; it is
worthwhile.
When you read articles on garden
ing does' it irritate you to see how
(usually experts can give directions'
For instance: “It is well to clean at
least one or two borders each week, so
that your work may not tall behind.
Os course it is. But to do it is an
achievement not to be mentioned light
ly. It means rushing out leaving
breakfast dishes unwashed; pulling
chickweed and creeping Charley and
grass and weeds—you can’t dig much
tor fear of killing tiny flowers that
are sprouting from last year’s seeds--
worrying over mole„runs an<! not nal
believing the folks who say the mole
are merely after bugs and such things;
finding enough cutworms to ruin ah
vour garden; finding also those pale
fat grubs that always lie curled up
and which are the reason 1 n.*vei
could eat shrimps; getting finger-nails
into such shape and condition that
vou feel they’ll never look right again
i (alizing finally that it is past time tc
start dinner, and rushing back mt<
the house to have the meal ready by
the time the men folks arrive with
that expectant look and appetite that
belong to the hour; knowing that tin
g, a ss and weeds are faflv humping
themselves to grow as much as possi
ble while you’re away. Those expei ■
advisers probably have gardeners (
do the dirty work. But doing it is fun
as well as hard labor.
Really finicky readers had bettei
stop reading this column right here
if. 1 v any chance, they have begun it
For I’m now going to speak ot thing.-
far different in odor from the flower
that bloom in the Spring; which, in
deed. have nothing to do with the
and there’s no tra la about it. Happy
are vou, and fortunate, if you (lon
know what one means when speaking
of bed-bugs, sometimes called chinen
and smelling the same by either ol
these names or any other.
More than thirty years ago 1 heal 1
an old ladv describe some hed-ougs
that came out from cracks in the wall
of a log house whose owners she wa
visiting. She said the bugs were s«
and so old that they had tails
and wc re covered with down like new
ly hatched chickens. I thought she w -
exaggerating and laughed politely. But
after all these years I’m apologizing
for being incredulous. For here comes
a 1, 11 ■ n from the State Board of
Health with an article about bed-bugs
and it states that they do get. so 01.
and SO big that they look just as thi
jffav described them. The article give.
\i*S--s of destroving these pests, which
ape thought to tarry disease germs as
J|il as to make life miserable fm
tllVr victims. A: plying gasoline wit.
n Yiaint-hrush is said to be probald.'
the best and code-, remedy; hut then
is gieat dangei of fire, unless the
work is done by daylight and doors and
windows are left open until all the
evaporated. Kerosene i> ncx 1
in efficacy and is less dangerous
Whatever vou do, don t try scalding
which ruins furniture and does litth
good, since the water cools so last
that it seldom harms the pests tha'
are hidden in crevices. It kills only the
ones that are out and leaves the others
a better chance.
Last week some one remarked lr
my hearing that she never believed
the woman who said she had beer
married for many years and had nev
er been cross at her husband nor had
to fight bed-bugs. If you move many
times you are fairly sure to inherit
bugs left by a former tenant; it’s nol
yom fault, but it is your job to get
rid of them, if you want any peaceful
sleep. I’ve had three experiences with
them; thanks to gasoline, the last wai
was the soonest over.

Important Meet
For Farmers)
j
On Monday evening a large number
of fanners from around Zebulon met
at Wakelon school building to hear
the report ot a special committee ap
pointed sometime ago to get the best
formula and the lowest competitive
i price on a high-grade fertilizer to b>
I bought jointly by the farmers. Th»
'committee.- made a partial it port
hut since all the manufacturers win
were expected to bid on the fertili
zer had not yet sent in their bids, it
wa agreed to wait a few days be-
J'nve accepting any bid.
Below we give the formulas submit
i ted for bids. Farmers who expect
to grow tobacco should read this in
formation over carefully. It was work
ed out by the committee with the help
of the leading specialist of the Stat<
Agricultural Board, and is believed
to be the very best obtainable foi
growing marketable tobacco. Read it
over cm d idly Mr. Farmer.
Formulas For Tobacco Fertilizers
submitted to the manfactui ei s.
Please quote prices on the follow
ing formulas:
8-3-3 (State Tobacco Committee does
not recommend an 8-3-3)
8-3-5; 8-4-6; 10-2-6
Phosphoric acid derived from super
phosphate. Mineral ammonia 50 pei
| cent.
‘■•Nitrate of soda.
‘j. Sulphate of ammonia
Organic ammonia 50 per cent.
i . cottonseed meal. 1-4 blood or
high grade animal tankage with pro
tein 55 to 60 per cunt. 1-4 genuine
l’ciuvian Guano oi fish meal.
: Potash.
1-3 high grade nuriate of potash
a"alyzing 50 per cent, 2-3 sulphate ol
■p< tash magnesia or sulphate ol pot
i ash. -
The materials in the mixture must
:appear on the source tag in proper
! lions as given above.
V it ei inis and f‘rtilizei mixtures
, must be in a good drillable condition
or they will not be accepted.
On soils whe r e magne siu hi
linn* has been used in the past two
cr three veals, the sulphate of pot
ash may be used. On soils where no
j magnesium lime has been used. thi
| sulphate of potash magnesia should
be in the fertilizer.
Ask for bids on above formulas
containing 2-3 sulphate and also sul
phate of potash mag icsia.
Nearly 150 tons of fertilizer weii
sul scribed for at the meeting. It is
I hoped that every farmer around Zebu
li n will come into the pool, foi by
| doing so, the better price will he ob
tainable owing to the greater amount
Naturally it is expected that some
| feitilizer salesman will along
j with something “just as good” at r
lower price. •Since the price in thi:
instance was obtained by competitiv.
bi.H from 100 to 1,000 tons, no deal
er is likelv to or could meet the price
with a high grade fertilizer. We advise
the farmer to buy the best teitilize»
at the best price, and that is what
| the committee has to offer. No on.
| makes o ,e cent profit.
Th-» price offered may he a little
'over the cost of tin* fertilizer, owing
to a small cos 1 of inspection and .1:
1 i ihution. but any surplus will be
j divided p"*ong those buying accord
j ing U) t.ii iiniiiagc bough, aftei th.
: deliveries are made.
A final meeting will he held_ at
Wakelon next Monday night at 7:30
o’clock. Every farmer who will buy
' tobacco fertilizer is asked to be pres
ent. Be ready to place your order
for whatever ior’iliZio* you w b need
rite commdtc is al o w .rking out a
plan to get fertilizers foi other crops
at the same advantageous price as for
tobacco.

Zebulon Man
Jailed In Raleigh
1 About a year ago, M. M. I’rince and
Mrs. (. L. Long disappeared from
Zebulon about the same time. 1 hey
were sought through advertising and
other means, but no report of tlieii
whereabouts could be had. In about a
month, Mrs. Long was located in
Johnston county. Prince was later lo
cated near Chadbourne. N. C. He got
in touch with his wife and persuaded
her, so reports say, to take up the
warrant against him, on condition that
he would live with her just as soon as
his crop was made..
About the 14 th of last October
Prince purchased a car in < hadbourne
and was seen the next day in Zebulon
About the same time Mrs. Long again
disappeared from the community. Thi
following day. Prince was again in the
Chadbourne section with a woman
whom he claimed to be his wife.
Then about December 10th, Chief
i f Police Baker learned that Prince
l a , ,j Mi's. Loi g were living togethei
man and wife in Morristown. Tenn
They were operating a tilling station
and lunch room. About two weeks ag<
! Nisrht Policeman Tharrington went t>
Moi l istown and brought Prince back
i.) N. < Me is in jail in Raleigh and
will be tried at the next term of the
local Recorder’s Court for desertion
Other charges will be preferred
again: ' him. among them perhaps, thy
more serious of white slavery.

COMMUNITY SPIRIT NEEDED
Let us make the state in which we live a greater state, our ..om
nuinity a greater community. This will not be hard to do if we will
lay aside all self interest and cooperate -work together.
The first essential is a greater community spirit. If all of us la
bur, not for our own selfish interests, but for the common good of all,
we can make our community, ou* state, one of the best places in which
to live.
With a united community spirit we can do most anything -with
out it. we can do but little.
Many things w II be needed to make a greater community. Wc
must have better country schools. Our la'm boys and girls, as well as
our city boys and girls, must be given a square deal. All must be given
( pial educational opportunities.
We must make our homes more homelike. Too often when a boy
or a girl leaves home, there is something the matter with the home.
A homelike home in the country will keep the boy and girl on the
farm. When home ties are not just as strong as they should be, they
are easily broken.
Health is our greatest wealth. When our own health and th<*
health of our family is poor, we are poor indeed. We must safeguard
oui health. We must have better sanitation —more modern conven
iences. These can he installed in any farm home at small expense.
We must encourage home ownership. If we can help a man to
own a home, even a modest cottage and a piece of ground, we will be
doing a real service to our community and our state.
Wo must see that every boy and girl owns something—a call, a
lamb, a garden, or some crop. We must recognize his title to the pro
perty. It must not be Willie’s pig and Dad’s hog.
We must increase production efficiency and learn how to market,
and one of the needful tilings in both of these is to build good roads.
We can have these things if we really want them, but we must
work for them- fight for them. We must work together town and
country, men and women, boys and girls. - L. A. Hawkins, Agricultu
ral Extension Department, International Harvester Company.

Facts Behind The
Economy Program
“When the Federal Governmen*
j •dosed it - books for 'the fiscal yeat
1932. the American people were shock
ed to learn that total revenues from
income taxes—individual and corporat<
• ml ired did not quite cover all th*
•osts of the Veterans’ Administra
tion services for the twelve months
lust ended Incredible as it seemed
the figures were indisputable. Inform
;i\ collections for the year, as offi
daily reported by the Secretary of
lie Treasury, wen* SI .05/,33a,853
ih'le the combined disbursements foi
veterans' i enaions, hospitaliza
tion, disability allowance', construct
ion. bonus payments, and adminis
trative expenses came to the neat sum
of 51,064,268,966.
“If we assume that existing law
will not further ’liberalized,’ to use
the word of pension lobbyists in Wash
ington,—the grand total of all out
lays for World War veterans from
November 1918 to thi* end ot 1949 will
come to the magnificient figure oi
$35,000,000,000. Such a regiment of
ciphers defies the imagination.
“Let us. therefore, try to visualize
it in away that will convey to out
minds just how much money that
really is. Picture a house costing $lO
000. Very well; the sum would pro
vide 3,500,000 of them. Spaced on
fifty foot lots, they would line a street
33,1 43 miles long; or, to put it another
way, that much money would build
eleven solid rows of such houses be
