The labor representative asserted
. that the low wages paid cotton mill

that the eggs secured aud the birds

$913.91, and the addition of the flock
of 55 pullets at an average selling

larged and the ways and means of ;
production greatly increased. There ,
will be a greater demand for skilled !
labor in 1926 than there has been
in 1923. About 75 per cent, of the
communities report that the prospects
for the coming year are better than ]
they tiave been for 1025 and the re
maining 25 per cent, report that the
industrial development will continue
about the same duriug 1026 as in
1925.
"The prospects for the building con
struction for T 926 are also very en
couraging. and we find that about 65
per cent, of the reports show that an
nerepse in building is anticipated and
that conditions are very favorable.
In fact, it seems that all building
craftsmen, in the majority of com
munities. will have steady employ
ment duriug the coming year.
. “The building will be more active
in Che central and western sections of
the state and \yllvsponsist mostly in
enlarging of plants, building of homes,
business houses, hotels aud schools.
One city alone anticipates a building
program that will cost seven millions
of dollars, while another estimates that
its program will total around six mil
lions. *

I SEEK METHODS TO
j COMBAT TREE SCALE i
State Department of Agriculture i
I Gives Much Thought to the Mat- 1
' Raleigh, Dee. 12 — UP) —The State 1
department of agriculture has been j
giving considerable attention to the
, control of the San Jose scale on fruit 1
trees, and is encouraging the use of ]
combative methods, it has been an- i
nounced at the department. The work 1
1 is being carried on through the divi- .
1 sion of entomology.
“The application of a spray to con- j
trol.the San Jose scale on fruit trees !
1 j must be made while the tree is in j
'I the dormant stage, - ’ said J. A. Har- j
| ris, of the division of entomology, who i
has beeue giving the subject definite ;
■ study. “A strong spra.v> is required '■
‘ to kill the bisect, and if applied while i
the tree is in the growing stage, the j
twigs and buds may be severely dam- I
aged. L
J “The dormant application may be '
made any time during the winter, but
1 it should be finished by March Ist.
> Every port of the tree should be well ;
• covered' with the materia], because i
[ good coverage is necessary for , the
• thorough control of the scale. ’ •
“Either of two materfflls may be
used satifactorily to contrpl San Jose '
scale. A concentrated lime sulphur
j spray or an oil spray will give good
control. Experiments conducted dur
: iug rye past few years show that the
‘ oil sprays will give about a 10 per
; cent: higher kill of the scale than the
i s dW'br -sprays. There is one ad
’ vantage 1n using the sulphur spray
■ tin that sulphur sprays will control \
sneh diseases as leaf curl on peach
trees and, generally siieuking, the oil 1
• sprays have no value in disease eon- \
,-trol. ,
If an oriiifird is heavily infested ]
with scale, it would seem advisable i
1 to use an oil spray for at least one 1
’ year. Oil sprays may be made at.
‘ home or bought from commercial in- i
secticides dealers. More satisfactory 1
results will, in all probability, be se- \
cured by using a soluble oil prepared i
by flic manufacturers rather than a 1
home-made oil emulsion. Directions ,
for making the oil have been prepared i
b| the department of agriculture.” J
