The funeral services will be held Payments To Be Made For Mulching Trees North Carolina fanners will be allowed a practice payment of $1.50 under the 1940 agricultural conser vation program for mulching their bearing orchards, according to H, R. Niswonger, extension horticul turist at State college. Two tons of air-dried .straw or an equivalent in mulching material, excluding barnyard and stable ma nure, will toe required per acre. The material must be hauled into the orchard and may consist of straw, hay, leaves, wood shavings, or other organic matter which has a good water-holding capacity. Payment will not be allowed if any of the ; mulching material or material produced on the orchard land- in 1940 from grasses, legumes, or cover crops is taken from the land. Niswonger explained that the material should be thick enough to check the growth of grass or other vegetation. Likewise, it should be applied not closer than two feet from the trunk of the tree and as far out as the branches extend. The quantity of mulch to apply to each tree at the rate of two tons to the acre will depend upon the size of the tree or the spread of its branches. Most North Caro lina apple orchards average 50 trees to the acre. If straw or similar material is used, each tree will require ap proximately one bale, or 70 to 80 pounds, if the trees are of medium size. Small bearing trees may re quire less than one bale, and large mature trees may need two to three bales. . Mulching aids bearing fruit trees by maintaining a supply of mois ture, preventing erosion, improving the size and color of the fruit, and providing an abundance of humus or organic matter for the soil As the World Turns (Continued From Pg One) cuse for inaction" in not sending large scale aid to Finland, which may presage- parliamentary rebel lion against ' Chamberlain's govern ment.

LLOYD GEORGE WARNS BRITAIN The white-haired World War prime minister followed Belisha with "It is the old trouble too late. Too late for Czecho-Slovakia. Too late for Poland. Certainly too late for Finland. . . . That is the road to disaster." FINNISH RELIEF AGENCIES Finnish relief agencies in the U. S. will continue their work for re habilitation in Finland. Herbert Hoover has cabled President Kal lio assurance to this effect. PELLEY STAYS EXTRADITION William D.

He states "There is no reason why we should not reveal our age. and incomes to the government. We owe our govern ment ithat support. In order to run a business concern efficiently one must have basic data. In manag ing a national economy, we cannot have too much information. . , .

Shaw i Urges Farmers To Buy Quality Seed The cheapest seed to buy is the best that can be found, advises Dr. Luther Shaw, .extension plant pathologist at State college. Likewise, he pointed out, the safest seed to buy, from the stand point of freedom from seed-borne diseases, is certified seed. Adding everything together, this means that farmers are advised to pur-, cHfcse their planting stock from the most reliable sources available. The treating of seed for the control of ceftain plant diseases has been found to be one of the most profitable measures a farm-' er can use, the State college spe cialist said. An outstanding example of this is the treating of cotton seed with 2 per cent ethyl mercury chloride dust. In farm demonstrations con ducted over a period of four years in North Carolina, the average profit from this practice was $9.82 an acre. Yet the cost of treatment averaged only 15 cents an acre. Similar profits from treating seed of various' field and horti cultural crops,, such as sweet po tatoes, cabbages, and small grains, are being, realized yearly by those farmers taking! advantage of the treatment. Other growers could make extra returns just as easily. Another step in combatting dis eases ot held and horticultural crops is purchasing seed that are freed or as nearly free as possible of disease-producing -organisms..': A, definite movement has been under way in North Carolina to ward the production of disease- free seed of agricultural crops for the past several years. Largely aiding m this work has been the North Carolina crop improvement association, which sponsors and supervises the production of cer tified seed.
