The machine most generally used by home gardeners is a compressed air sprayer of two to three gallons capacity. A hand duster is also de sirable, said H. R. Niswonger, ex tension horticulturist at State Col lege. The second essential is a supply of good spray and dust material, he added. An 8-ounce glass measuring cup, graduated in thirds and quar ters, is useful in measuring mater ials. Magnesium arsenate is recom mended as a spray for eradicating Mexican bean beetles. One-third cup of arsenate to three gallons of water makes a good solution, Nis wonger pointed out. Or dust the beans with a mixture of one pound of magnesium arsenate to three pounds of hydrated lime Start dusting or spraying as soon as adult beetles become numerous, and repeat every week or 10 days or as often as necessary. The spray or dust must reach the undersides of the leaves. Rotenone dust also is a good form of beetle control, he observed, and it is not harmful to human beings. The dust should contain three fourths of 1 per cent rotenone. Poisoned Bordeaux powder and rotenone dust are used in control j ling flea beetles and cucumber beetles. Make several applications a week apart. The dust may be ap 1 plied with a sack or a small hand duster. Flea beetles often cause severe damage to potato, tomato, pepper, and egg plants. The cucumber beetle stunts cucumber and melon plants. Driver Almost Runs Car Into Police Station Herel D. J Jones, Elizabeth City man,| was arrested for drunken automo bile driving here last Saturday eve ning, when he almost ran over the local police station. Coming up Main Street, the man drove on the sidewalk in front of the station, causing officers of the law to dodge for shelter, it was said. Jones was given a hearing yesterday morning and returned to jail unable to raise the $100 bond required by Mayor Hassell. Out of a job, and with his tools with him, Jones said yest^fiay that he was out looking for work. He told officers that he would be glad to get a job and make arrangements to pay the fine and costs.

Decrease Reported in Sale Legal Liquor Last Month Although warm weather made it self felt, the legal liquor stores in this county had fairly large sales last month, the control board chair man, V. J. Spivey, reporting sales amounting to $7,525 80 during the period. It was a banner month at Jamesville, however, the store there reporting sales of $1,027.55, the Ash ing season apparently boosting the sales during that time. Oak City and Robersonville had comparative ly quiet business, the former re porting $628.25 and the latter $1, 706 75 in sales.

VED TO PREPARE AR ON INSECTS; RODS SUGGESTED SUNSHINE IS BEST AGENT TO USE IN BLUE MOLD FIGHT Fungus Cannot Spread or Thrive in Sun's Rays, Expert Says Sunshine is the best remedy for keeping blue mold out of tobacco plant beds, said Dr. R. F. Poole, plant pathologist at the N. C. Agri cultural Experiment Station. The fungus causing this disease, which begun to ravage tobacco beds In eastern North Carolina this sea son, cannot spread and thrive in the sun's rays. Dr. Poole explained. Sunshine also is good for the plants, he continued, and helps them build up a strong resistance to blue mold fungi. The canvas covers on seed beds should be rolled back on warm, sun ny days, so the sun can shine di rectly on the young plants. Replace the canvas late in the afternoon, when the temperature begins to drop. Light applications of quick-acting nitrogenous fertilizer often hasten the tobacco plants' recovery from blue mold, but caire should be tak en not to let the nitrogen remain on the plant leaves. "Be careful," Dr. Poole warned the growers, "not to carry any of the fungus on your hands or clothes from an infected bed to a non infected bed." He advised the growers to give their young tobacco plants plenty of sunshine, even if--they have not been attacked by blue mold, as sun light is a god preventative. After the beds have become in fected, he said, they can be saved, but the grower should be extra careful. Do not transplant any of the plants from beds to fields until all traces of blue mold have dis appeared. * Spraying for the control of blue mold is not recommended," as no spray has been discovered"thus far that will effectively control the dis ease. THE LETTER-BOX THE MACHINE I take for my theme "The Ma chine." I believe the machine is a product of the United States of America. It was in these states early in the eighteenth century that an American first brought into ex istence that useful and profitable invention which he called a "Ma chine.'' There are various kinds of machines. The sewing machine, the elementary machine, the infernal machine. There are hundreds of kinds of machines. The typewriter is called a machine, and the print ing press is called a machine. There are many sorts and kinds of ma chines. _ The greatest machine that I know of is the political machine. This is a well-oiled octopus built by politicians, and usually turned out at the capital of the state, or some central point. It is a powerful and cogent affair. It extends its ramifications into every nook and corner of the state in which it op erates. It makes senators, judges and governors. It glides along with such a serene and subtle smooth ness that you are unaware of its presence, progress and power. This has very correctly been desig nated as a "machine age." A great big harvesting machine like the ones used out in the western wheat fields will do the work of a hun dred men, thus making for unem ployment. A great big well-greased political machine will corral the votes of a thousand unsuspecting persons. In a political sense, the machine is all powerful. It brooks no op position, it acknowledges no adver sary. The machine destroys its op ponents with the breath from its nostrils and annihilates contending rivalry with its august potency. The well-oiled machine works with all that is requisite to its na ture and kind The machine, when possessing all its parts, when it is finished, completed, without blem ish or defect, its music is sweet to its devotees, but, lo, it is bitter so lace to the opposition. The machine is never idle. It works night and day. Sometimes it is sly, cunning, crafty, sometimes refined, penetrative, revealing keen and delicate distinctions. The machine is a voter. The ma chine votes the naive citizen with out his knowledge or consent, and it does it in such a cunning way that the foiled citizen is unaware. Now that a gubernatorial primary is in the offing, I have told my fath er and uncles, my mother and aunts, to walk wide of the machine un less they be caught into its meshes and voted by the machine against their wishes and interest. The all powerful cunning, artful machine cares naught for the average citi zen except at voting time; then, with its argus-eyes. it can discern you afar, hail you affectionately, and vote you ere you are aware.
