LISTEN! IT IS NOT TOO LATE , VOLUME XIII. NUMBER 11. 1 This, That, 6* the Other By MRS. THEO. B- DAVIS On last Sunday morning when I* the seven year-old grandson, out for a visit, paraded proudly be fore me in his new outfit of green * slack suit, new shoes and socks to match the suit, I couldn’t resist a bit of preaching. So I told him he ought to be glad his father makes enough money to pay for * nice clothes; reminding Eric that many small boys have to wear whatever happens to be on hand Sf Then 1 added that some boys are so thoughtless that sometimes they :A hurt others bj criticising their f clothes. B He listened quietly and replied, “Yes, and, too, Jack’s Boy Scout book says it is cowardly to tease-” Hurrah for the scout book! May it be even more widely read. My son’s wife and I went to see Colleen Moore’s doll house in Raleigh last Saturday. It cost us twenty-eight cents apiece, but I don’t grudge the money- It was the most exquisite thing I ever saw. Each room was perfect, but to me the kitchen and the chapel * were most attractive. There’s no use trying to tell about th e weep ing willow tree that really weeps, Cinderella’s silver coach and silver horses, the roek-a bye baby’s ail 1 ver cradle in the tree-top, Santa’s L silver sleigh and silver deer on ■ the roof ,the little chandelier in the dining-room with its lights about the size of match-heads— and burning—the library with its | many real books not imuch larger than stamps, or the thousands of * other fascinations exhibited. Only thing I didn’t admire was a framed picture of Mickey Moure hanging in the art gallery with tiny reproductions of master. A pieces- But that was only my per * sonal notion, and I shall always enjoy the memory of that minia ture castle. Selma and I were just behind a group who really meant to see all of it. They reminded me of the line about viewing life stead ily and viewing it whole No 'mat ter how often nor how pleadingly the voice asked or urged us to move along slowly, please, that group paid no attention. Finally one of them told me we might, ‘ pass, if we wanted to, saying they had no intention of moving faster; that they had come to see the doll house and meant to see it. When we departed they were still living up to their intention Last year I mentioned in this column growing late pole beans . and using many of them shelled. From Raleigh came an unsigned card a few days after the paper for that week was 'mailed. The writer of the card advised me to plant Wren's Egg or Horticultural beans “and have something really good in shelled beans ” I kept the card and last week bought the seed beans at Wyatt’s in Raleigh, as was suggested Those beans a re round, large and speckled; and, unless I am wrong, they are the same kind we used to call Bi r d Egg when I was a child. If so. 1 am more than ever delighted to have them. Their complexion is darker than I had remembered, but the salesman assured me the difference was caused by soil and sun. Maybe so- Time will tell. But those snaps are not going to taste exactly right unless I cook them in an iron pot with home made meat, no matter where they grow. ► - BRIDGE Mrs H. r.

O- Rowell, Extension entomologist of N- C. State College. He reports that large numbers of weevils surviv ed the comparatively mild winter of 19-10-41 and emerged from hi bernation this spring. 1 here are indications that wee vils will be more numerous this year than during any recent year, Rdwell says. The Bureau of En tomology and plant (Quarantine of the U. S. Department of Agri culture keeps a fairly close check on weevils through the use of hi bernation traps. Examining hibernation traps at Florence, S. C, the Federal agen cy found survival of weevils in 1940. At Tallulah, La., 81 percent of the weevils placed in traps last fall were alive this spring. Where the cotton grower in tends to follow a complete con trol program, Rowell recommends early or pre-square poisoning with a liquid mixture which is applied with mops. He urges, however, that the first application of the poison be delayed until weevils oc cur in the field at the rate of 30 or more per acre, or one weevil to 500 plants. “Pre-square poison treatment should be started just a s soon as squares begin to form,” the Ex tension specialist said- "This is usually when the plants are five to six inches high, and before the squares are large enough for the weevils to puncture When the squares have developed to a size large enough for the w’eevils to feed on and lay eggs in, pre-square poison applications should cease.” Rowell says pre-square poison ing alone should not be relied upon to entirely control boll weevils. May weevils reach the field after the pre-square poisoning period has passed. Post-square dusting with calcium arsenate is necessary to control late weevils. Rocky Mount to Aid Fanner The plight of our farmers is often talked about today- Rocky Mount is much concerned and of fers new plan to aid them- Ed. Johnston, Sr., Sales Supervi sor, reports that the Rocky M unt Tobacco Market has made changes in its selling system that should be of great value to all tobacco growers- Lunch hour has been changed and will now be from 12:00 to 1 P. M. Under this new hour system each warehouse firm in Rocky Mount will be guaranteed at least three hours selling time each day. All changes in sets of buyers from one warehouse to another will take place during the lunch hour. In the past, and during time of heavy sales, Rocky Mount went into blocks which lasted for many days. Farmers bringing their to bacco to market could never defi nitely know just when their tobae co would be sold. Now, under the new system warehousemen will be able to tell their customers, with in a few minutes, when their to baceo will actually be reached by the buyers.
