The first legislation on the subject of establishing and recog
nizing a State Flag was in the year 1861. The present model
of the Flag was adopted in 188D. It consists of a blue field
with a white star in the center. The letter N, in gilt, is on the j
left of f*.c star and the letter C on the right. The fly of the i 1
Flag consists of two equally proportioned bars, the upper
red, and the lower white. The two dates symbolize the signing
of Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence and the date
North Carolina concurred with the other delegates in declar
ing independence.

Grain Insects
Cause Big Loss
Don t vs ait until your horse .is
stolen to lock the stables. And
don’t wait until your garden or
bin is full to do something about
protecting it lrom insects
That’s tin- advice i f George D.
Jones, insect control specialist for
tlie State College Extension Serv
ice, who says insects attacking
stored grain cause huge losses on
Morth Carolina farms each year.
If grain is stored in a place
.vhere fumigation cannot be car-.,
■led out satisfactorih , says Jones,
here's little the farmer can do
?xcept sell it The fumigation
will be wasted unless all four
sides and the floor of the storage
irea are gas-tight.
It isn’t too early, says the spec
a list, for farmers to begin think
ng about corn storage. All stor
age bins should be cleaned of old
orn and the walls sprayed with
DDT. The old corn may be shell
ed and stored in a tight place. If j
it is infested it can be treated j
with a fumigant.
“After the crib is filled, it's too
late to do much about killing in
sects," Jones cautions. “Most of
the work has to be done in ad
vance.” A thorough farm clean
up, he adds, is one of the most
effective weapons to use in fight
ing insects of any kind.
A commercial dust form of in
s'cUciue mixed with the grain, i
known as “grain protectant,” is j
being studied by insect control |
racialists at Stat. College T< •'
have been undo way for two sea- !
sons but thus far corn heavily in
fested and placed in storage has '
not been fully protected by the
material. Further tests are being
conducted. The work thus far in
dicates the material has some
value in reducing insect buildup
if the initial infestation is not too I
high, but the length of period of !
