THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVI. Number 73. Farm Agent Lists Moves Required In Saving Grain Heavy yields of small grain are in prospect in Wake County this spring, but much of the wheat, oats, and barley harvested will be lost unless growers make plans in ad vance to store it properly, says County Agent Grady Miller. To assist growers with their har vesting, the agent offers these sug gestions: Delay harvest until grain is “dead ripe.” Don’t combine or store it while it is damp. Locate bin at least 50 feet from structures that present fire haz ards. Remove inflammable mater ial during storage. Don’t store for a long period in a building hous ing livestock. The storage structure should be strong, convenient, and capable of protecting the grain from weather. insects. rodents, and theft. If large quantities of grain are to be handled, use elevated or hopper-type floors to reduce costs. Keep Roof Tight Keep roof watertight, and make walls and floors tight enough to keep rain and snow and prevent leakage of gases during fumiga tion. The floor should be support ed well above ground. Use metal shields or chemically treated sills for protection against termites. Mesh wire or metal shields should be used for protection against ro dents. Clean Storage Space Clean up storage place during May and June, prior to harvest, to reduce insects. To keep down the initial infestation of pests, use 2 % to 3 per cent DDT spray, one pound of 50 per cent wettable pow der to each three gallons of wa ter) as a residual spray applied to walls, floors, and all cracks and crevices. For fumigation, use non inflammable and non-explosive material such as ethylene dichlo ride-carbonteti-aehloride 3-1 mix ture. Follow directions on contain er or consult your county agent. Demonstration Worker Names Plentiful Foods Fresh vegetables will be at the top of the shopping order in June, Mrs. Maude Mclnnes, county home agent for the State College Exten sion Service, said this week in list ing the foods that will be plenti ful for the month in the South east. Mrs. Mclnnes explained that June is a month when locally grown fresh vegetables reach vol ume production. From nearby gar den and truck areas, markets will receive such vegetables as cab bage, lettuce, potatoes, green beans, spinach, tomatoes, and others.

Back to White Paper Again About five years ago because of the extreme shortage of newsprint, your local newspaper began publication on colored stock in order to publish at all. Although the colored stock sold at a premium of nearly a thousand dollars a year above white newsprint, the Record continued publication thereon because the majority of advertisers and subscribers desired it, even after newsprint became available. Now, however, the shoe is on the other foot. We are again hampered by newsprint restrictions, and are extremejy short on colored stock so short that we cannot continue publication unless we return to white paper. So until further notice your Record will come to you on white newsprint. To those who liked the colored paper, we say: “Sorry!” And to those who hated it, we say: “Congratulations!” Theo.
