To what extent the disease would carry over during a mild winter in North Carolina cannot be ans wered at present. However, grow ers having plant beds this year in old plant bed sites where blue mold occurred last year should keep a sharp lookout for early attacks of the disease.” The pathologist adds that blue mold control is an investment and should be followed as a means of reducing the cosf of production.

There is no need to be if you are well informed, for cancer can be prevented or may be cured in the early stage. But you must know something about it; that is, the cause and symptoms if you and your yoved ones hope to ex cape the dreaded disease. Your PTA is endeavoring to help you by putting on an educational pro gram at our next meeting March 23, 7:30 p. m., at our school audi torium. This is not a cancer drive!

C., Firday, March 18, 1949 Zebulon Farm Bureau Holds March Meeting Here Monday Night By Rodney McNabb The local unit of the farm bu reau had its regular meeting in the Wakelon High School audi torium at 8:00 o’clock March 14th. Only a small percentage of the actual membership of this import ant organization were present. Those members not present miss ed a very good meeting. Let it be said and emphasized that it would very definitely be to the better in terest and progress of our com munity if more members would at tend and participate more active ly in these meetings. Mr. Ellington announced that there would be a distribution of rat poison from the agricultural building on March 29th, and he insisted that as many people as possible take advantage of this opportunity to help rid their premises of rats. Few people stop to realize the great damage done by rats, and this poison has been found to be highly effective against them; so why not get behind this drive and help exter minate this pest. Mr. Ellington also made an ap peal to the farmers in this com munity to make greater use of the several agencies set up for their benefit. The services of these va rious agencies are free to the far mer, still a very small percent age are taking advantage of them. He also placed great emphasis and thought by the farmer on the one-money-crop idea prevailing. Farmers buy hay, vegetables, and dairy products in far too many instances which should be produc ed on their own farms. The North Carolina State Farm Bureau Convention which was re cently held in Asheville was dis cussed by our local delegates who attended the convention. Mr. John H. Ihrie discussed the trip and related some experiences of the delegates. He also enumerat ed some of the resolutions adopt |ed at the convention.
