Pecan Scab C
Annual I
Hundreds of pecan trees fall '
tim to the farmer’s axe each y
because of an unproductive coi
tion caused by a number of •
eases.
However, this is unnecess
since pecan diseases can be cont
led through a systematic sanr
and spray program on suscep
varieties, according to Dr. Lu
Shaw, extension plant pathoh
at State College.
, There are several diseases w
develop on pecans in North (
lina, bdt the most prominent
and the one that does the
damage is known as scab. Thi;
ease is distributed throughou
pecan growing area of the i
It is caused by fungus org:
which attacks the leaves, t
and nuts. Symptoms of the d
are practically the same o
plant parts. The lesions are i
ly small, olive-brown, or gr
first, and later turn black.
Since the scab spreads r:
from old diseased parts to
growth, it is advisable to d<
all infected leaves ar.d shuck
ter they fall to the ground,
can be accomplished by plo
them under during the winte
f»y raking and burning them.
Spraying with a Bordeaux i
ture of three pounds of copper t
phate, four pounds of hydra
lime, and 50 gallons of water h
proved to be the most satisfacto
spray material for the control
pecan stab. Copper-lime dust
recommended for those w-ho a
equipped to dust their trees.
Treatment should be started it
mediately after pollination has U
en place and repeated every tiir«
weeks

HAIL AT EAGLEROCK
LIGHTNING HIT HERE
The slorm on Monday brought
had to Eagle Rock and adjacent
sections, damaging the tobacco on
some farms considerably.
On Monday night lightning
struck M. B. Chamblee’s home here
tearing a part of a chimney away.
During the same storm, lightning
struck the L. E. Long home, setting
fire to a bed, which was the occa
sion for calling out the fire de
partment.
Many who did not know light
ning had struck wondered how any
blaze could start in such a rain.
According to the number of cus
tomers who patronized the first A
BC store in Raleigh Thursday, they
must have been hanging around
with their tongues out since dawn
its way by hitting a single. He ad
vanced to second on an error, and
stole third.
Clayton went runless after the
opening inning, in which a walk to
Harnes, his stolen base, and Bing
Miller’s double produced the local’s
score.
Manager Alton Strickland’s Wake
lon club pushed over the tying run
in the second, made by Jimmy
Smith and Green and Edwards
then started matching goose-eggs.

The General Assembly of 1937
enacted a law entitled, “An Act
Requiring the Examination of Do
mestic Servants.” In effect, it says
that all domestic servants, shall be
examined at least once each year,
and as often as the employer may
require. All servants employed, or
nuking application for employ-*
ment, shall furnish a certificate to
the employer from a reputable phy
sician, sertifying that such servant
has been examined within 2 weeks
from date of employment, and that
he or she is free from all conta
gious, infectious or communicable
diseases and showing the non-ex
istence of any venereal diesase
which might be transmitted. Such
certificate must show that a Was
sermann test or other approved
tests to diagnose venereal diseases
have been made and are negative.
This law to be effective, requires
l he observance of it by the people
* kho employ servants. It is highly
important to know that those who
Work for us are free of all commun
icablf diseases, such as. syphilis,
tuberculosis etc.
Syphilis, in its infectious stage, ir
dangerous to the public. The only
reason the syphilis is so prevalent
today is that it has not been dealt
with in an open and intelligent
manner. The time has come for ac
tion on the part of all concerned-
But this action must be well-direct
ed and well-understood that both
the employer and the employee
may not suffer. I mean by this
that, a person may have the dis
ease, as proved by a blood tes.t, but
with proper treatment can be made
safe for employment without dan
ger to those with whom he or she
associates. This is true of tubercu
losis. A person may have this dis
ease but with proper care and
treatment may become—and of
ten does—a cured or arrested type,
and is not necessarily dangerous to
associates. But we must recognize
the fact that these diseases, when
they exist, must be recognized and
dealt with according to the best
scientific knowledge available for
the welfare of the patient and the
people with whom he comes in con
tact.
We have in Raleigh two vener
eal disease clinics One operated at
Rex Hospital, as an out-patient
department, where the indigent
may go and receive treatment at
a nominal cost. The other clinic is
operated at St. Agnes Hospital,
as an out-patient department,
where people may go and receive
treatment at a nominal cost. In
other words, treatment is available
for all indigent cases of Raleigfh
and Wake County as a very small
cost, and can be secured free in
many instances. Clinic hours in
Rex Hospital for both white and
colored are as follows: Monday,
1:30 to 2:30 P. M.; treatment, Fri
day 1:30 to 2:30 P. M.; admission
charge of 25c, Clinic hours at St.
Agnes Hospital are from 11 A. M.
to 12 Noon each week day except
Saturday. Admission 26c. Each
treatment 60c
