Farm Hints CLEAN UP ORCHARD One of the best ways to control insect and disease pests in the or chard and to improve the quality of fruit this season is to give the orchard a thorough cleaning. This, applies especially to apple orchards.! Apple scab, for instance, spreads! from dead leaves which hae drop ped from trees that were, infected with the disease last season. The leaves should be raked up and burned or plowed under as early as possible. The codling moth winters under the loose bark and among the re fuse where cull apples were piled or boxes and other containers were stored. This bark might be scraped from the trees, raked up and burn ed. "Make a general cleaning of silch places as the codling moth is likely to hibernate," . says H. . R. Niswonger, field horticulturist at State college. "This clean-up prac tice win reduce the number of worms in the fruit this season. Mummied fruit hanging to peach trees and those on the ground should be collected and destroyed because the brown rot spreads from such dried fruits. Countless num bers of leaf hoppers are hibernat ing in the grass and weed strips bordering the apple orchard. Burn these over where there is no dan ger of setting fire to the trees. Plowing under these strips as well Use Floex for Colds and Flu This effective' new medicine should be found in every home. Take a dose as soon as the first symptoms cf cold or influenza ap pear.

LIGHT GROWING CORN BEST FOR POOR LAND Small-stalked, .light-growing va rieties of corn are best adapted to poor land conditions Imd will yield more grain per acre on suchj land than the single-eared, large stalked, rank-growing, late-maturing varieties. li. M. liarren. cereal agronomist for the North Carolina Experiment Station, has conducted a duplicate test with certain corn varieties at the Mountain Branch Station near Swannatloa for the past three years In one place, the varieties were -all planted on a rich bottom soil and at another place they were planted on a poor, thin upland soil. As in all tests of this kind, the same cultivation, fertilization, distance of planting and other factors were used in both tests. The idea was to see which corn made , the best .of conditions under the two different environments. As a result of this work, Mr. Garren found that the rank grow ing corn represented by a variety known as Big Corn, very popular in the western section, of the State, made 43.1 bushels on the fertile land When it was grown on the poor land, however, it produced only 9.1 bushels per acre. The small light growing corn, repre sented by a variety known as Hic kory King, also well known in western Carolina, produced 33. bushels per acre on thf rich land but on the poor land its yield was 14 bushels an acre. Three other varieties representing gradations in type between two' extremes pro duced varying yields. The Hickory King, a light grow ing corn, produced best on the poor land, and the Big Corn, a rank growing type, produced best on the fertile land. Since North Carolina growers plant thousands of acres of poor land to corn each year, it might be wise for them to keep this fact in mind, says Mr. Garren, and prepare to use light growing types on such land this season.

(Front The Chapel Hill Weekly) There has been some talk re cently about the revival of gold niitiing in North Carolina, .News paper, dispatches have told of resi dents of Randolph county who think that they can profitably ex tract the precious metal from the ore on their land. The exploitation of gold depos its .becomes attractive in a time ike this when the value of gold rises. The decrease in the cost of labor and materials tends to make the operation look promis ing. In a boom period, when everything is selling high, it may cost more than a dollar to cbtain a dollar's ' worth of gold, 'aIui as in a period of depression ,t .ii.ty cost less than a dollar. It all depends, of course, on the quality of the ore. And the ex perts, geologists and engineers, do not hold out 'much encourage ment to North Carolinians who arc hopeful of making a profit out of gold. Around a century ago there were valuable gold deposits in North Carolina, but the -rich veins ran out and the attempt to exploit the poorer veins proved to be a. los ing venture. In the lSWs Collier Cobb, who was then and still is the head of the geology department here in the University, visited a section of the- state once fain, us for its gold mines. While he was in conversation with some of the natives, in a vilage hotel, a stranger on the fringe- of the gr6up broke in with this declaration: "There is plenty of gold in North Carolina, but it would take a dent al drill to get it out." . Mr. Cobb recalls the remark with approval. It just about sums up his own opinion. "For forty years," he says, "1 have been wondering whether the stranger meant the gold-bearing veins of North Carolina were so small or that gold was so abun dant in the teeth of our citizens." Mr. Cobb has devoted a great deal of study to North Carolina's gold-bearing possibilities, and he discusses the subject at some length in a monograph entitled "North Carolina's Mineral Resources." 'The gold mines of the state were worked with profit" he says, "in the days when we employed slave labor and while we could still work in the deeply weathered por tions of the gold-bearing quartz veins. This weathering had been in progress for many millions of years before man appeared. These deeply weathered veins, however, have all been workd out so far as free gold is concerned; and we are now down to the place where the weathering of the rocks has not re duced the sulphides. "A nugget of gold weighing about 37 pounds was found in Ca barrus county in 1803. A nugget weighing 13 i pounds was found in the same locality in 1S24, and since then there have been found several small nuggets weighing from I to 9 pounds. The total weight of the nuggets on record is 115 pounds avoirdupois. "As late as the mid-seventies my father frequently received as a fee for marrying a couple in Ruther ford or Gevcland county one or more goosequills filled with grains of gold, but that practice has now been discontinued. "Several years ago when the Rudisil mine near Charlotte had been worked to such a depth that its gold-bearing sulphides could not be produced with profit, the ma terial from the mine was crushed and used for macadam on Trade and Tryon streets. Thus Charlotte was the first city, so far as 1 know, to " have its streets paved with gold. "Similarly, rock from another gold mine I know" carrying about $1 .80 to the ton and costing about $2 per ton for separation, is now being crushed to make concrete for paving a state highway. "Throughout the 'central part of the state-' are many narrow 'gold veins earning a very hign per centage of gold; but the openings necessary for working the veins would leave soc little of the metal per ton of. rock removed that it would hardly pay to work these veins. i:c "Once when I was on an explo" tion tour in North Carolina a man who thought there might be val uable deposits in his locality asked for my opinion'. I said to him that I would rather own a good clay bank in Wayne county than all the S'ld mines in the state." Official titles' have been desig nated by the United States Geo graphic board for mountains and peaks in the Great Smoky Moun tains National park which hitherto have gone unnamed or. which have borne a confusing number of names, for various prominent moun tains or peaks in the Smokies have been subject to dispntc, the names used locally conflicting with those appearing on maps. Even local usages have varied widely. : , Alum Cave located near Mt; t,e Contc has been officially given that name" by the G'eogfaphic board. The name of Bald Mountains was given to the range marking the boundary between North Carolina and Tennessee northeast of the Great Smokies from the Pigeon yond the Nolichucky the tile of yond the Nolickhucky the title of Unaka Mountains Kwas officially given to the continuation of these heights. Adjoining the Great Smokies on the southwest on the boundary between the two states, the name of Unicoi Mountains was designated for the main divide. , The name Great Smoky Moun tains and the titles of Mounts Guy ot, LeConte, Buckley, Love,, and Clingtnans Dome were recognized as official names. The Balsam Mountains were so designated in the decisions. The mountains form ing the state boundary northeast of the Unaka Mountains were des ignated the Stone Mountains.'. Auakeesta ridge, a previously un named . bright, was given this title frorrL an Indian word meaning "the i it - -a t iif ' piace 01 oaisams. Aiouni wume soka, formerly " without a name, was named, from , the Cherokee word meaning "grapes," from the wild grapes growing on the moun tain. , Sugarland 'Mountain was so designated because of the number of hard or sugar maples on the slopes of the mountain. The Jumpoff was the name applied to the cliffs on Mount Kephart. White Rock Peak, Tricorner Knob at the junction of-the Great Smoky and Balsam Mountains, Round Top, Newfound Gap, Miry Ridge, Indian Gap, Eagle Rocks, Cold Spring Knob, Brushy Mount, were names officially recognized as applied to points in the national park. A nameless peak was titled Mount Sequoyah in honor of the famous Cherokee who originated the alpha bet used by that tribe. Soil improvement is occupying the attention of Rutherford coun ty farmers this year. Thousands of pounds of lespedeza seed has been planted and considerable farm land terraced. There was an attendance of 1, 400 rural people at a series of 16 agricultural meetings held in va rious communities of Catawba county during February. - The use of brick brooders is ex panding in Durham county,- The county agent reports helping to build seven new ones this spring.

It is reported by the American Game Association that the principle, demonstrated at the Upland Game Farm of Salem is very similar to the air-conditioning' practiced in theaters.
