|l|lS I. E. M.INTIRB IMPORTANCE OF SHADE TREES The comfort of shade trees has been recognized. As villages grow, householders have planted more trees. As the towns grow into cities the native trees have been destroyed and the people in order to secure shade trees had to turn to the nurseries. Shade trees add to the value of your home as well as to the comfort and beauty. Public Control of Shade Trees In cities and towns there should be officials to look after the plant ing and .care of the city’s trees. They should be elected to serve for as long as five to ten years, with r w members being appointed to ak > the place of old members after a period of several years. In this way the members will have time to realize the things to be done, and the best policies to follow. The members should be familiar with the proper kinds of trees, those suitable for street shade and they should should assume full re sponsibility for the care and pro tection of these trees. Planning for Trees on City Streets In planning for shade trees in our town, we should study the trees we have planted on our streets, select a good tree, and plant the same varieties. If dif ferent varieties are planted on the same street they will lose some of their natural beauty, as they will not be uniform in size. Care should be exercised in selection, that disease free trees may be used. FARM SURVEY OF VU-AG STUDENTS An interesting farm survey has just been compiled of the agri culture students, the following in formation will be of interest to many. Os the 73 boys enrolled, 43 come from owner-operated farms; 49 of the homes are painted, while 29 have electricity, but only 10 have running water, and 10 have bath room facilities. There are 4 farms that electric current is not avail able, that is, the line does not come near the farm. Two of these farm homes have telephones; 20 have improved lawns, 39 have shrubbery. The poultry improve ments are not so great, only 8 modern laying houses, and 6 brood er houses. There are 20 farm shops; only 5 farms have pure bred livestock, and 40 have 50 per cent purebred stock. 60 farms have a year-round garden, and 52 have home orchards. 35 farmers use purebred seed, while 42 use recom mended fertilizer formulas for major crops. There are only 20 agricultural libraries in the homes. 55 boys use purebred seed or live stock in their supervised practice programs. The average number of acres per farm is 68, while the average of cultivated acres is 36. The aver age acreage of cotton is 4, corn 9.5, tobacco 8, improved pasture 8, properly terraced 18.5. I hope when a similar survey is made next year it will show a de cided improvement over a great many items. COUNTY Ml DAIRY TEAMS TO RECEIVE MEDALS Awards of special gold medals have been approved for the county winning 4-11 team in the Nation THE ZEBULON RECORD. ZEBULQX, NORTH CA ROLINA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER !al 4-H Dairy Production Demon | stration contest, announces the I committee in charge. The team members are: Mary Lynn Myatt of Raleigh and James Olive of Apex. The subject of their demon stration was “Fitting and Train ing a Dairy Animal for the Show Ring” and they were coached by J. C. Keith, assistant county agent. The Alamance county team won the state contest and receives an all-expense trip provided by the Kraft-Phenix Cheese Corporation to compete in the finals at the Na tional Dairy Show in Columbus, Ohio, Oct. 8-15. The eight top teams, two from each extension section, will divide $2,800 in col lege scholarships. The purpose of the contest, con ducted in cooperation with Exten sion Agents, is to focus attention of dairymen on producing methods which insure a profit, and yield a better, purer product for the con sumer. SOYBEANS MAKE GOOD GRAZING FOR CATTLE Soybeans will grow well in sandy soils and provide late summer grazing for dairy cattle in Eastern North Carolina, said A. C. Kim rey, extension dairy specialist at State College in telling of a dem- j onstration conducted in Dare coun- i ty this summer. Mrs. R. Bruce Etheridge, of Manteo, and B. A. Williams, of Wanchese, conducted the experi ment by growing the soybeans in narrow rows, and having several fields for the cows to graze in rotation. Williams planted two fields of about three acres each, and let the cows graze in one and then the other. He would leave them in one field until they had most of the leaves off, but not long enough for them to graze too close to the stalks. Then while the cows were shift ed to the other field, the first field would grow out another crop of foliage. E'y thus alternating the fields, Williams got grazings off each, and cut his feed bill in half. The cows alrfb increased their milk production, he said. Mrs. Etheridge had several acres which were treated in the same manner, and she too got an in crease in milk production while cutting her feed costs. She also plans to provide plenty of graz ing for her herd this fall and win ter by seeding approximately 10 acres to vetch and small grain. Kimrey is especially pleased with the results of the experiment, for one of the problems confront ing Eastern North Carolina farm ers is providing adequate good grazing. COLD WEATHER FAILS TO CHECK BUG BESTS “Don't let cold weather lull you into a false sense of security against household insects,” warns J. O. Rowell, extension entomolo gist at State College. Before modern heating came into general use, houses would get cold enough in winter to check the damage of clothes moths, carpet beetles, cockroaches, silverfish, and other such pests. But row many homes are so well heated in winter ,and are so well constructed that insects keep up their activities the year round. Hence, clothes in storage must be protected in winter as well as in summer. Housewives can reduce insect damage to clothes by brushing, sunning, and airing them frequent ly during the winter. It is also a good plan to clean all cracks and corners of closets and storage rooms. Wool sweaters and other gar ments that are even slightly soiled are particularly appetizing to moths. Clothes that are going to be left'hanging up very long at a time sho .ld be cleaned and packed in moth-proof containers. Naph thalene or paradichlorobenzene flakes give added protection to clothes in storage. Cleanliness is a good protection i not only against clothes moths 'and carpet beetles, but also against kitchen insects. | The small, grayish, scale-covered insects known as silverfish thrive jin damp, warm basements, but of -1 ten do much damage in other parts jof the house, feeding upon paper, 1 book-bindings, starchy or sweet food, and sometimes on fabrics, i especially rayon. They can be con trolled with a poison bait made of oatmeal, white arsenic, sugar, salt, and enough water to moisten. STATE FAIR AAA AUTO RACES, RALEIGH i The final auto races for the year 1938 to be held in North Caro lina under the sanction of the con test board of the American Auto mobile Association, will be on Sat urday, October 15 at the North Carolina State Fair on the fast Raleigh halfmile track.
