TOBACCO CROP QUALITY STARTS IN PLANT BEDS Well Constructed Seed Bed Will Protect Plants From Disease A well constructed seed bed will protect young tobacco plants from disease and enable them to develop into hardy, thrifty specimens that twill grow well in the field. Dr. Luther Shaw, extension plant pathologist at State College, gives he following suggestions for tobac x plant beds: Locate the bed in a warm, sunny place with a southern or southwest ern exposure. The soil slfuld be d V D loamy and well drained* Do not place the bed on a site where a bed tas been within the past four years. Box the bed with planks extend ng six inches above the surface of :he soil. Stretch wire across the eed, or place forked sticks in the {round, to keep the canvas from ouching the earth. Or the bed may be covered with i thing layer of oat or wheat straw, with the canvas resting on the draw. When the weather will per nut, roll back the cover (or ? while during the day to give the plant* fresh air and sunlight. It is better to have several small, beds than one large bed, as this lessens the possibility of all plants becoming infected with disease. A hundred square yards of bed will produce 10,00 Oto 15,000 plants. One ounce of seed will sow 900, square yards of bed. Two hundred pounds of a 4 8-J fertilize!^ mixture is enough for each 100 yards of bed. Thoroughly hix it with the upper three or four inches of soil. Be especially careful to keep the beds from blue mold or tobacco mosaic infections. This is import nt. Dr. Shaw suggested that growers wishing more information, write agricultural editor at State College, for extension circular No. 207, "Ap proved Practices in Handling To bacco Plant Beds," and for experi ment station bulletin No. 297, "Prac tices Relating to Control of Tobacco Mosaic.*' State Farmers Offer Land For Demonstration Uses Demonstrations with TVA super phosphates and other farm man agement plans are spreading widely over North Carolina with leading farmers offering their lands for the purpose.

S. High Court Refunding $200,000,000 In Taxes Is Big Legalized Steal Man Declares Washington.?Contending "this is probably the greatest legalized steal in American history,'' Secretary Wallace recently renewed his at tack on the supreme court's deci sion refunding $200,000,000 to pro cessors. Wallace in a radio address over a national network, cited profit fig ures of various processors to show the large returns they would ob tain. "In the Hoosac mills case," Wal lace said, "the supreme court disap proved the idea that the govern ment could take money from one group for the benefit of another. Yet in turning over to the proces sors this $200,000,000 which came from all the people we are seeing the most flagrant example of ex propriation for the benefit of one small group. This is probably the greatest legalized steal in American history. "You will get some idea of its size when you contrast these re funds with the profits of the pro cessors in their most prosperous years. Cotton mills reported profits of $30,000,0000 in 1920; their pro cessing tax refunds amount to $51, 000,000 on cotton. Flour mills re ported profits of about $20,000,000 on their wheat flour business in 1929; their processing tax refunds amount to $67,000,000. "Packers' profits on their hog busi ness in 1929 were in the neighbor hood of $20,000,000; their tax re funds are $51,000,000. One of the largest packers had total profits of $14,000,000 last year. If half of this came from the firm's hog business, as is likely, that profit, $7,000,000, is only about half the $13,000,000 processing tax refunds to the one corporation. March Busy Month On Calendar for All Section's Gardeners Crops Should Be Started This Month for Spring, Summer Harvest ? March is one of the busiest months on the gardner's calendar. Unless delayed by bad weather, crops should be started in this month for spring and summer har vest, according to H. R. Niswonger and E_ B. Morrow, extension horti culturists at State College. Such cool season crops as cab bage'and lettuce, garden peas, car rots, onions and Irish potatoes should be planted early in March in this section of the State. Tomato seed may be sown in out door, cloth-covered frames in this section during the first week of this month. For an early patch of sweet po tatoes in eastern North Carolina, bed eight to ten bushels of seed for each acre to be planted. Bet the seed in clean sand or sandy soil free from disease. If manure is used t(t furnish heat, place it under the po tatoes and cover it with three or four inches of sand. To get bright, clean strawberries, mulch the bed with pine straw early in the month. The mulch should be just heavy enough to protect the fruit from sand and dirt. Early spring flowers and shrubs are due much atterjjjon at this season. Lice Retard Growth Of Both Heifers and Calves Says Expert Details of Treatment Are Outlined by Fred Haig, Of State College Cattle lice are a serious handicap to the development of calves and heifers. When infested with lice the young animals rub against posts and trees, wearing away their hair and in flaming their skin. Sometimes the calves become thin and weak from loss of weight. In the late winter and early spring, said Fred M. Haig, as?oci ate professor of animal husbandry and dairying at State College, dairy men should inspect their calves to see whether they are infested with lice. The insects are found mostly ? round the n'icks and shoulders of the animals, but they also infest other parts of the body. The first step in eradicating lice, Professor Haig said, is to clean and disinfect the stalls thoroughly. Aft er removing the bedding and sweep ing the stalls, disinfect them with a five percent solution of any good coal tar disinfectant. Allow the stalls to dry, then whitewash the interior. When the whitewash is dry, place plenty of straw bedding or other clean ma terial in the stalls Meanwhile, apply to the calves a solution of one ounce of sodium fluoride in a gallon of water. Brush it in thoroughly so that it will reach every part of the body and pene trate loose folds of skin. Tie the animals in a sunny place, protected from drafts, until they are dry. The calves are then ready to be placed back in the newly disinfected stalls, and a second treatment will hardly be necessary unless they become infested again from other animals, Professor Haig stated. Motor Club Conducting Extensive Safety Drive ? * An intensive safety crusade though out the Carolinas for the year 193b is being conducted by the Carolina Motor Club, it has been announced by Coleman W. Roberts, of Charlotte president. For the past ten years the Caro lina Motor Club has concentrated its safety activities in the grammar schools, he said, and there has been a considerable decrease in the fatal ities to children of schol oage while fatalities to adults have continued to mount at an alarming rate. While the Carolina Motor Club safety crusade will reach the chil iren in the schools, intensive work will be done to develop a spirit of individual responsibility on the part of every motor vehicle operator. This is necessary now more than ?ver before because with the driv ers' license law operating in both the Carolinas and with larger patrols on the highways, stricter enforcement may be expected. The drivers li cense is a privilege granted to every operator and if it is abused it is subject to suspension of revocation which will deprive the operator of the privilege of driving any motor vehicle. The 1936 safety crusade in the Carolinas contemplates interesting every organization of white and col oied people in the effort to reduce highway fatalities Suitable recog ntion is being awarded to those or ganizations, schools and communi ties that carry on the most intensive and effective safety program! during the year. Four Aeld representative* of the Carolina Motor club are available or assistance in directing these ac FARMERS: Our Store Will lie OPEN AT NIGHT During Next Two or Three Weeks Realizing that you will not have the time to buy your hardware supplies and fill-in items during the day time on ac count of the busy season confronting you, we have decided to remain open nights for the next two or three weeks. In this way we feel that we can render a service to the farmers of this section they deserve and need. WILLIAMSTON HARDWARE CO.
