PAGE FOUR GIVES POISON MIXTURE FOR TOBACCO PESTS —? —♦ Says Fleaßeetle May Be Controlled by Dusting Young Plants The tobacco flea beetle may bfc con trolled by dusting the young plants with a mixture of pans green and ar senate of . lead where the tight trap beds were not used and there is a heavy infestation. C. H. Brannon, extension entomolo gist at "State College, reports wide prevalence of the flea bugs this spring due to heavy infestations in the fields last fall and the unusually mild win ter. The insects are appearing in large numbers over a wide area of the State, he. says, and some growers report heavy damag* even at. this early date. The flea beetles are at least a month earlier in their attacks. "Those growers who »rf using the tight trap beds are pleased with the excellent protection afforded by, such beds," says* Mr. Brannon.

She may strive to keep the children at home and leave their lives to chance while she works away from horde ten, twelve, fourteen hours a day. 8. She may stay at home with them and starve.

As with >n! other plant materials low in nitrogen, :e 1 straw should be put through the barn re yard as feed or bedding, Where a | mounts of straw and other vegetable mounts of straw and other vegetable matter unfit for feed and in too large a quantity to be used for bedding is available, the material may be madfc very good grade of manure by composting it with cottonseed meal or fertilizer material. The practice of growing a winter legume, green manure crop of vetch or Austrian peas between summer crops of corn and cotton is growing in popularity and no doubt this win ter farming will occupy a promient place in southern agriculture in the future. Increasing soil fertility by growing and turning under green crops is not as simple or easy as get ting fertilizer from a fertilizer sack. A few suggestions on how to han dle green manure crops planted to be turned under next spring should be helpful. The most common mistake is made by trying to get a very large tonnage of material to turn under when often a small crop will be more beneficial the first year than a very large one. The main reason for this fact,, is that young plants have a much higher percentagx of nitrogen than mature plants and therefore decay much faster and furnish much more available plant food during the early spring when it is needed most. Sometimes when turning is deliyed till the legumes begin to set seed or an attempt is made to save seed the crop' is attacked by the corn ear-worm whith will go from the vetch crop or other plants and do considerable dam age if not poisoned. During dry sea sons the fertilizing crop may be -dif ficult or impossible to plow under in time to get a crop of cotton or corn started under favorable conditions, if the*work is put off till the plants arc large. Winter legumes should be dis ced sir plowed into the soil when e nough growth has been made that a ten-foot square will produce ten pounds of green material, or two weeks before the usUal date of plant ing when cotton is the following crop. When the plants begin to bloom freely they shouJd be plowed under, as' about the highest per cent and to tal amount 'of nitrogen produced by the crop is present at this time. Seed production of all winter legumes, ex cept crimson and bur clover, is risky business under southern conditions, tireen manure should be allowed to decay for at least two weeks, .before planting corn or cotton. The rate of seeding these crops should be xbout twice as heavy following green ma WANTS FOR SALE: CHOICE VANILLA, SI,OO pint; 60c half pint. Davis Pharmacy (next to post office).

The gardeh this year should be considered the most important acre on the farm because ft-ii'good health'in surance as well as safe economy. •' "The urge to get the garden going can hardly',be withstood now that the signs of spring are apparent," says E. B. Morrow, extensiqp horticulturist at State College. "We have three valu able publications which may be used by those needing information on es tablishing a garden and will s(pd these to any one making application as long as the present supply lasts. These three publications give suggestions a bout the starting of early plants, a manual of garden planting and culti vation, and a vegetable seeding guide. Citizens of North Carolina may have them on request to the agricultural editor at State College." However, in beginning the garden now, Mr. Morrow recommends the planting of asparagus, beets, cabbage, carrots, lettuce, garden peas, irish po tatoes, pepper, radish, sweet potato, tomato, and turnips. Large one-year old roots of the Mary Washington va riety will give a start with asparagus. The Early Wonder and Detroit Dark Red are good varieties of beets for the early planting. If the first seed ing is caught by a frost, another plant ing should be made immediately. Early March is not too late to make plantings of the second early cabbages such as the Copenhagen Market and, Charleston Wakefield varieties. "The seedling should have plenty of room and the young plants transferred to'the garden as soon as possible. Carots are as yet not generally pop ular, hut more could be used for health The best varieties, according to Mr. Morrow, are Chantenay and Danvers Half Long. The other plants mention ed. are well known and are stand-bys in most gardens. Early plantings should be made at once. nures as after fallow land. Facts About Plant Manures 1. The plant food and organic mat ter in cotton and corn stalks and other vegetable matter grown-on the farms of the South is worth millions oT .dollars. 2. Much of the value of this ma terial is lost because of insufficient knowledge of its crop producing powers when properly prepared and applied to the soil. 3. The careful saving and plowing under of all Crop residues should be a part of. every farmer's soil-building program. *■ 4. As much as practical of the crops removed from the land should be re turned as manure or compost. S. The present two-crop system of cotton and corn, or cotton only, can be employed to build up land if lib eral amounts of commercial, animal and plant manures are applied to re place that removed in crops and the natural and artificial fertility held in place by terraces and winter cover crops. 6. Large acre yields of cotton do not require as much plant food per pound of lint produced as small crops and large crops also leave a reserve for the following years in the form of organic matter and plant food in the stalks, leaves and roots. 7. The much-talked-of live itodr and legume team for land building is working successfully on sputhern farms, but the cotton and cover crop team, which is almost as effective and well-adapted to thous ands of farms, is the one used by most farmers to held their crop yields at profitable levels." Southern farmers will and should continue to use commercial fertilizer material carrying nitrogen, phosphor us and potassium, SEEDS CLEAN AND HARDY Will produce a gar den you'll be proud of. All Kinds —In Package or Bulk CLARK'S •> - . . - Drug Store CERTIFIED SEED BEST TO PLANT FOR GOOD CROP [grown under the supervision of the North Carolina Crop Improvement Association and have been certified at to their quality by this Association are the best to plant. Partcularly is this true this year when quality must count in - the marketing of all farm produce. "Crop seeds which have been certi fied by the Crop Improvement As sociation are of the highest quality be cause they conform to the standards of the International Crop Improve ment Association," says W. H. Darst, director of this work at State Col lege.' ."Then too certified seed must be of, a variety approved by the N. C. Experiment Station. Before a variety is eligible for certification it must show merit in comparative field trials for a period of at least three years. Certified seed must also pass a rigid field and bin inspection. The first inspection is made in the field before harvest when the crop is studied for purity of variety, the presence of noxious weeds, and for plant diseases." After the seed has been harvested, cleaned and prepared for market, representative samples are secured and analyzed in the State seed lab oratory for germination, purity of ( variety, weed seeds and foreign ma-' terials. The seeds must always con form to high standards of quality, Mr. Darst declares. The inspections are made by seed experts employed by the State and these men must, quali-, fy as disinterested in either the crop or the person growing the seeds. All f claims as to origin, breeding, manner of threshing and cleaning musj be verified by the grower. i Mr. Darst says no other source of j seed found on the market is so care-' fully checked as to quality and Value.

Only $50,000,000 has been appropriated for this fund, and fur* ther money will be dependent upon the sale of bonds issued for the purpose. The fun this year is not for farmers alone in drought areas, but for all the farmers in the United States, except in two states, who can not get credit lo cally. "This means," says Dean I. O. Schaub, of State College, "that the county committees must scrutinize all applications very carefully and that further inspection of the applications will be made in Washington before any loan is approved.
