Over 100 Persons at Hearing on Projiosal To DeejMMi Roanoke 300,000.000 Feet of Timber Would Be Made Avail able by Improvements Upwards of 100 interested peo ple from Northampton, Halifax Ber tie, Martin and Washington Coun ties gathered in the courthouse at Plymouth Wednesday with Major H R. Cole, of the engineer corps at Norfolk to discus the need for the deepening of Roanoke River. It is proposed to increase the depth from 5 to 10 feet from Ham ilton to Weldon. It has already been deepened from the mouth to Hamilton. It remains now for the bars and snags to be removed from Hamilton to the mouth. Already an allotment has been made by the Congres sfor removal of snags from Palmyra to Hamilton. there are 300,000,000 feet of tim ber along the river from Hamilton to Weldon that cannot be economi cally removed except by these needed improvements. It will help the local lumber plants, as well as others along the river. It is expected that the contract will be let for removal of snags and bars from the mouth to Hamilton this summer. Major Cole will re port to his superiors and then an allotment will be sought from Con gress to pay for the improvement be tween Hamilton and Weldon. Lime and lespedeza will be used in Macon County this season in starting the new soil building pro gram. Ceresan Dust Will Stop Damping Off Disease in Cotton Another Control Method Is To Hold Seed Over ?For Two Years ? Two methods of controlling the dam ping-off disease in cotton are recommended by the State College agricultural extension service. One is to treat the seed with Ceresan dust and the other is to keep the seed in storage for two years before planting it, said Dr. Luther Shaw, extension plant path ologist. -* The disease is caused by a num ber of organisms, some of which live over the winter in the lint on cotton seed, he said, but it seems they cannot live on the seed much longer than one year. Sometimes the organisms are in the soil. When the land is infect ed, Ceresan dust treatments give the most effective control, he ex plained, for enough dust will cling to the lint to protect the seed and young plants through the seedling stage. Weather conditions favorable to damping off disease is more likely to occur early in the season, Dr. Shaw stated, and for this reason cotton planted a little later than usual will stand a better chance of avoiding the disease. Three ounces of two percent Ceresan dust will dust a bushel of seed. It may be obtained from any of the larger seed houses for about 75 cents a pound. A discarded churn, a feed mix er, a home made barrel duster, or a commercial treating machine may be used as a container. Fill the container half full of seed, put in the right amount of dust, then agi tate it briskly for five or ten min utes. Store the seed in a bag or bin un til ready for planting. If the du?t has been mixed thoroughly with the seed, it will give a good form of protection, Dr. Shaw added. Explains Way To Prevent Objectionable Milk Flavor There is no way to stop cows from eating onions except by keep ing them off pasture. However, the objectionable flavor and odor of onions can be eliminated by taking the cows off the pasture and given dry feed fo rat least six hours be fore milking. Be sure that no highly flavored feed, such as rye and turnips are fed before milking as these feeds will also impart an objectionable flavor. With these precautions the milk or cream should be rid of the odor and flavor of onions or other feeds and rendered saleable.

Fertilizer containing 10 percent potash produced 686 pounds more seed cotton per acre than the same fertilizer containing no potash, and 228 pounds more seed cotton per acre than the same fertilizer con taining 5 percent potash in a com prehensive series of Held tests con ducted over a period of four years by the Clemson Agricultural Col lege of South Carolina and describ ed in its 48th annual report. In these tests an investment in potash from 60 cents to $3 per acre returned extra lint cotton worth $10.60 to $24 10. Each pound of muriate of potash in the fertil izer produced from 5.7 to 10.6 pounds of seed cotton, depending upon the rate of application. The table following gives the average yields obtained in the tests. All plots were top-dressed with 15 pounds of nitrogen and the equiva lent of 600 pounds of 5-10-0 (N-P K) fertilizer was used at planting with the extra potash added, analysis of Muriate of yield of Fertilizer potash in seed cotton N-P-K Fertilizer per acre 5-10-0 None 557 lbs. 5-10-230 lbs. 874 lbs. 5-10-5 60 lbs. 1,015 lbs 5-10-7J4 90 lbs. ' 1,137 lbs. 5-10-10 120 lbs. 1,243 lbs The tests were conducted by Dr. H. P. Cooper, W. B. Rogers and R. W. Wallace on 68 separate plots at the Sandhill Station and in cooper ation with farmers on important soil series in the Piedmont and Coastal Plains sA'tions of South Carolina. Some of these soils were known to be deficient in available potash The report states: "Since there has been an un usual amount of cotton rust due to a deficiency of available potash in recent years, there has been a mark ed increase in the amount of pot ash included in the average cotton fertilizer sold in the State. Where there is a marked deficiency of available potash in the soil the cot ton plants shed their leaves early in the season, which results in a large proportion of the cotton bolls not developing properly. These un developed bolls do not open norm ally and the cotton is often of poor quality and very difficult to pick." The 5-10-10 fertilizer used on the plot which produced 1,243 pounds of seed cotton per acre contained potash equal to 120 pounds of mu riate of potash per acre, or 300 pounds of high grade kainit per acre. Black Is Still Most Popular Car Color Nationally black is still the most popular single color for motor cars. Gray tones are second in popularity. Different sections of the country ex hibit marked variations in their color preferences. These are a few facta shown by analysis made by Chevrolet Motor Company of color preferences based on three months' production of 1936 models, introduced November 2, as reported by the assembly plants to W. C. Williams, general superin tendent of assembly plants. "Because Chevrolet has 10 assem bly plants throughout the United States," Mr. Williams said, "each supplying cars to the dealers with in its own territory, we are able to get exact figures on the public de mand for colors in each section, and to note how geographical location affects the public taste. Chevrolet 1936 models have been offered in seven colors and black. Gray tones ran second to black in popularity, followed by green, then blue, then brown, and finally ma roon. Rat Extermination Method Demonstrated To Farmers With rats and mice taking a heavy toll each year in Washing ton County, farmers have been at tending demonstration meetings at which extermination methods were shown. The fate of each life is the mys tery of that life. But one thing is obvious: Only LIFE INSURANCE can provide for a safe, secure fu ture, once you are no longer here to guard your dependents. W. G.
