Mr. McKee is of the opinion that road projects in Western' North Carolina should be considered from two standpoints: economic and touristi He .believes in better roads as aniaid in ,! the, commercial and industrial development of the moun tain region, and .he believes n- bet ter ,roadsas;a means' of developing the tourist business. 7' Mav Dav Festival At Cullowhee May 7 ' If 4'jl ' r CULLOWHEI, April 28.

'Green Bugs Infest , -j Small Grain Fields "If you find' area in your fields of ' 6mall'' grain where the plants are turning yellow of dying, th'6 trouble may be due to infestations of i aphid? or , plant lice sometimes called, Vr(?en-;Wgs.'" ; ;, "These' are small w insects about the size of'' an ordinary; pin" head. They live on the grain over the winter and become active in - the spring," said Dr. -B. B. Fulton, en tomologist at State college. The damage they do is greatest in cool weather when the spring temDeratufes are between 50 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit, he contin ued. . ' , , "So far as we know," he added, "there is little we .caii do to check these bugs except hope for warmer weather." When the temperature goes above 65 degrees, a tiny "wasp begins XQ multiply rapidly. The wasps sting the green bugs and lay eggs in their dead bodies. The eggs hatch into grubs that produce more wasps which, in turn, ; sting more bugs to death and after a time the green Dugs, disappear from the -fieifd Dr. Fulton pointed out. . , . Cool, wet weather this spring has been5 conducive to heavy.' infesta tions of green bugs, he continued, and in some places farmers report that entire fields are being damag ed. Others report 'small areas dam aged here and there in their fields, particularly those in which oats are growing. As the weather warms up, how ever, the wasps may. kill off the bugs before they do much more damage, Dr. Fulton added. Growers Make Plans For Seeding Legumes Now y that most farmers have seeded all the lespedeza they plan to grow this year, cowpeas, soy beans, velvet beans, and other le gumes assume an important posi tiori as green manure crops and for soil improvement and erosion control.

C. a, ' form available for plants, will grow on almost' all types of soil,, according to A. 11. Veazey, agro nomist, of the - , soil conservation service. .; ' - " Veazey pointed out that the les pedezas do best on the heavy soils and that, CQwp'e'as and soybeans n'ee4 sandy , soil for healthiest growth. In a few weeks it will be time to . seed cowpeas, soybeans and velvet beans. They should be plantr ed du'ring or just a few weeks after the corn-planting season, he said. ! When the legumes are turned urider , .as green manure, they not only add nitrogen to the soil, but also provide ofganic matter which aids materially in the conservation of soil and moisture. Summer green manure crops should be followed by winter cover crops, Veazey said, and the winter crop that follows should be mowed down and left on the land as a mulch. It is advisable, continued Veazey, to leave the land idle for 10 or 15 days after the green manure crop has ,been cut, in order that the plant food may become more readi ly available to the winter Crops that are to be put on the land. Another important factor is that the green manure crop should be mixed with the soil, so as to en courage rapid . decomposition and utilization of the plant food ele ments by the next crop, he said. Good Farm Practices Produce Quality Seed Mixed, varieties, , plant diseases, ' save 4 ways . . . with the new efficiency certified by World-Wide Kitchen Proof. eii i I ill m t i and common and noxiou9 weeds compose three stumbling blocks for North Carolina farmers in the production of quality small grain. However, declares A. D. Stuart, extension seed specialist at State college, these obstacles can be overcome to a large extent by good farm practices. The use of pure seed will elimi nate the low yield and poor qual ity of mixed varieties, he. pointed out, as well as control most weeds, since a large portion of the weeds produced in tilled fiejds are plant ed with the seed. Stuart says that North Carolina crop improvement association gives the opportunity of both using and producing pure seed. Applications are now being received for the in specting of small grain fields for certification. If a grower's crop passes field in spection by the association, thresh ing should be done carefully. All equipment should be cleaned thor oughly before work is begun so that no mechanical mixture will re sult, the seed specialist advises. After threshing and cleaning, a. small sample-of the grain must be, submitted to the crop improvement association for official purity and germination tests by the state de partment of agriculture. If tests show that the seed meet set standards, the grower can sell his seed with the official blue tag of the crop improvement associa tion affixed. The 42-story L. C. Smith build ing at Seattle, Wash., is said to be the tallest building west of the Mississippi river. 1 1 11 i 1
