THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXIV. FIGHTING BLUE MOLD Most tobacco growers are on the defensive this year to protect their plants against tobacco blue mold the dread disease which wiped out hundreds of plant beds last year, causing a scramble for plants at transplanting time. Last year’s attack was the worst in history in many tobacco areas, vet prevention is relatively simple. Leading growers depend on a chem ical called “Fermate” fungicide which has become an established pre ventive treatment to keep blue mold from striking. This year they also have a new, light-colored compound available—“Parzate” fungicide. Regular applications of either chemical, from the time the plants are the size of a dime until transplanting time, will give full protec tion against the disease. For detailed information on blue mold control, consult your county agricultural agent. Even Barrie Will Admit Hes Growing Old —Fast 1 went up to the Wakelon gym nasium the other afternoon and found a whole t'ioor full of guys bouncing basketball: around. It didn’t take long to ge. a game go ing with players rai ging down ward from G feet 5 i ich Hilliard Greene to Vaughn Wale, Gardner Temple, Leary Davis, and several other small but scrap oy individ uals . It was a lot of fun for everybody, I reckon, but I finally had to quit to save myself comple’e humilia tion. Three straight times, when I was casually dribbling the ball up the court, one o the little four - and -a - half 1 oot players would run between my legs, take the ball right away frc m me, and take off down the court, bounc ing the basketball and laughing. I get the shakes at tie sight of a basketball now, because I ex pect a seven-year-old wildcat to grab it, dance around me, and with fiendish delight tell the world what a bumbling old man I am. • Ever since early December when I read of the wonders of anti-his tamine tablets I have been con suming four a day just like the directions suggested. It was a ritual with me to toss one down my gullet immediately after each meal and just before going to bed. I became so good at taking them that by throwing my head all the way back, opening my mouth to about the size of Grand Canyon, and aiming carefully, I could H-D Club to Meet The Wakefield Home Demon stration Club will hold its regular monthly meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 22. at the club house in Wakefield. All members are urg ed to be present and new members and visitors are welcome. Mrs. Maud Mclnnis will be with the club at this meeting and will give a demonstration. Number 52 bounce that little tablet off the bottom of my stomach and never touch my throat on the way down. Try it yourself and you’ll see what an accomplishment it is . For sixty days, while others in the shop were enjoying influenza, pleurisy, and colds, my nose stay ed dry. Whenever I heard a slight sniffle. I would chortle: “Boy, you ought to have followed old Doc Davis’s advice. Better get your self some pills! ” I even tempted fate by leaving my handkerchiefs at home. Them days are gone forever as of last Thursday morning. Now I am one of the gang, completely equipped with runny nose and pocketful of used Kleenex. I don’t have that left-out feeling any more when the folks gather a round to talk over their latest bad cold. I’m right in there sniffling and blowing with the best of them . The other day I visited one eco nomically minded soul who went to bed with a roll of toilet paper. Whenever a sniff was not suffi cient, he would reel off a foot or two of paper and blow mightily. “It’s just as soft and a whole lot cheaper than paper handkerchiefs,” he said, “and you can pull off just exactly how much is needed.” ! The directions on the anti-hista mine container said that if relief did not come after 48 hours, treat ment could be stopped. In my case, I not only failed to find re lief. but I also spent most of Sat urday afternoon in bed consoling i myself with cough drops, a jar of mentholatum, and a long nap. Yesterday I shifted medicines, and now I’m giving myself daily doses so a Sharp and Downe preparation called Vac-a-gan, put up in nickel-apiece sugar-coated tablets. It’s a race to see wheth 'er my money or my cold will go first, and I will keep you posted jon the results. Barrie S. Davis Zebulon, N.
