Dr. Henry C. Townes, tobacco insect specialist with the North Carolina Experiment Station, says the first prolonged warm spell is likely to bring over-wintering bee tles out of hibernations. Unless plant beds are protected with tight sides and covers or treated with insecticides, the pests can cause extensive damage. Flea beetles do their worst damage when the plants are small. At that stage, the beetles are ca pable of biting out the terminal buds, thus killing the plants. La ter, the adults lay eggs in the soil, and the larvae can do considerable damage by attacking the roots. was pleased that Sfc. Arnold could return to full-time employ ment. During drill periods from now until May 10, the training will concentrate on the carbine in prep aration for weekend firing at Camp Butner. Moving pictures will be shown Monday night, and next week the men will be assign j ed their weapons and will disas semble and clean them under the supervision of Lt. George Hinds. Administrative assistant Ken neth Hopkins urged men 17 years and older who plan to enlist in the National Guard to see him imme diately so that they may join in time to receive the maximum training before shooting the car bines. Both Sgt. Hopkins and Sfc. Ar nold are at the armory five days each week and visitors at the ar ‘ mory are welcomed. Townes advises DDT dusts or sprays as the simplest method of controlling flea beetles. He sug gests a 5 per cent dust applied at the rate of a half pound to a pound and a half per 100 square yards. The recommended spray is one pound of 50 per cent wettable powder in 50 gallons of water, ap plied at the rate of three to five gallons per 100 square yards. The first treatment should be made when the plants are in the four-leaf stage; the second when plants are two inches across; and the third just before transplanting. Three treatments per season are usually adequate. Some farmers prefer to use par athion because it is a quick killer. But Townes says it does not last as long as DDT, and thus must be applied oftener for similar results. Zebulon, N.
