Apply Dormant Spray To Fruit Trees Now . Raleigh. ? Scale insects and pl?nt lice are controlled through the use of the dormant spray to fruit trees. This Is the first Spray of the season and ? when applied to peach trees must be timed so as to get on before the buds swell so aa to control peach leaf curl as well as the scale Insects. For ap ples the application is made most ef fectively when the leaves have pro truded about one-fourth of an Inch from the buds. The dormant spray Is primarily a control for scale Insects, advises C. H. Brannon and O. W. Pant of the State College extension staff. Yet when oil or nicotine sulphate is added to the > lime -sulphur at the rate of three- 1 fourths of a pint to 100. gallons, plant ? lice art alto controlled, especially ; when the application Is made at the green-tip stage of growth. Oil sprays have come into wide use for dormant sprays because the oil j will control the scale and ^ more i pleasant to apply. Such sprays may be made at home though it is advised that they be purchased unless the grower has a large number of trees . n -..v ih.t there are many excellent products on the market and growers should get authoritative . information before In vesting. Do not buy worthless ma terials. they advise, and do not apply oil sprays when there is danger of freezing weather. Where the orchard is troubled with peach leaf curl, growers should use either the lime-sulphtr by itself or , add the Bordeaux Mixture to an oil spray and apply before the buds be gin to swell. Oils have no value in controlling plant diseases. Brannon and'Fant advise against mixing lime sulphur' with oil unless the label on the container says that it might be done. Concentrate!} lime-sulphur will give j good results as a dormant spray and ?will control both insects and diseases. However, if there is much scale the ? two experts advise the use of oil. ' j Average Corn Yields Entirely Too Small Raleigh. ? The standard acre yield of corn In North Carolina should be at least 50 bushels per acre and this' is not too much to expect In planning the crop. _ "If ever we are to really live at ' home in North Carolina, we must start with corn and produce on our j own farms sufficient of this grain to ! supply the needs of the family and livestock," declares G. M. Garren, cer eal agronomist at State College. "The average yield for thisi State is only 22 8 bushels at this time and for the five-year period from 1921 to 1925, in- j elusive, the yield was only 19.1 bu- ; * shels per acre. This is entirely too small. . Corn cannot be produced eco nomically with such poor yields.- The standard should be 60 bushels an acre and no mail should spend time and money cultivating an acre of corn that; will not produce this amount." One of the best means of attaining ' this Standard Is through planting the highest yielding - strains or varieties, says Mr. Garren. Just as some cows "will give more milk than others, so ?will some varieties of corn yield more grain than others. This has been demonstrated countless times by tests made by the North Carolina Experi ment Station. In one series of tests conducted for : five years on the several branch sta tion f^rms and on the central farm at Raleigh. Mr. Garren found the | difference between the highest yield- i ing and the lowest yielding varieties, grown under the same conditions, to be S3 bushels per acre. This means an Increase of 20 bushels in each hun dred from variety Influence alone. In this test 13 different varieties were used. In addition to the use of better seed from selected strains, there are also the questions of bettatr cultiva tion, fertilization, jtfid other factors influencing corn "yields, he says.

She made her stay on earth thirty-six years, four months and four days. She joined the. Primitive Baptist church several years ago. Aunt was a true member and a faithful chris tian. Aunt Eva had been sick for abput one year. In January of last year she was taken to the hospital, where she rfemainea alniWil U11KK U'l'l'lsr The trip did - not accomplish any good. Through all her pains and suf ferings she bore them patiently. Some time before her death she said that she did not want us to grieve over her because she felt that 6he would be better off. While sick she had every thing that she waniec. Many pres ents were brought to her. She appre ciated them all. She leaves to mourij her death a husband, B. S. Perkins; a son. Harry W. Perkins; one sister, Mrs. Sam Perkins of AllenSville. and two bro thers: W. E. Oakley or Roxboro, and L G. Oakley of Timberlake, besides a?host of other relatives and friends. Funeral services were conducted from the Primitive Baptist church of Roxboro. and the body was laid to rest In the Surl church cemetery. Ser vices were conducted by Elder J. A. Rerndon at Durham.
