S. De partment of Agriculture as an efficient way of controlling grasshoppers. It is much easier to combat grasshop pers in the egg or nymph stage than in the adult stage. Figg-infested fence r, w-s and stubble land and the ground iround old straw stacks should be plowed. Good summer fallow of grass ! hopper-infested land in stubble, or of er::sshopper-intested land grown up to Russian thistles, also greatly reduces grasshopper hazard, say the entomo 1 legists. _ A Lucky Purchase NELSON Mercantile Co, 100 Ladies’ Sample Hats From Kaufman Millinery Company, of Richmond, Va.

H. I Brannon, extension entomologist at State College. “These insects feed up on dead animal matter, cereals and food man ia] of all kinds. They will gnaw woolens, leather of shoes and furni I ture and ften damage leather book bindings in getting at the paste. I he pests breed rapidly and are repulsive and loathsome.” Mr. Brannon recommends sodium fluoriih as a e. n.trol poison. Sift it along the base board of the kitchen or pantry, under the s'nk, and on shelves ad tables. it is best to sift the poi jsott on the bare shelves and tables. It iis best to sift the poison on the bare shelve - and then cover with paper or other covering. Here the poison may be left indfinitely and while it will help to control the roaches will also act as an effective control for ants. Sodium fluoride is a white powder anil is a poison. It must he kept away in,m children. As fast as the roaches are killed they si: ttld be swept up and dt stroyde. it is a good idea, suggests Mr. Bran non that the soduim fluoride he left where it has been dusted for at least ! two weeks. If more roaches should ap pear make fresh applications from time to time. Warns Against Putting Off Repainting Wood Do not put off repainting wood un til the Id coating has flaked badly and much bare wood is exposed, says the Forest Service. U. S- Department o! Agriculture. Long before the coating ‘.lakes noticeably, it fails to protect wood adequately against weathering This is especially true of flat-gainec boards of some species that hold pain well. Wood checks or cracks shov that wood needs repainting ever the coating is apparently intact that w though INCREASE ACRES CERTIFIED SEED Farmers Have More Than Doubled Production In Past Year —. Growers of purebred seed in North ' Carolina have more than doubled i their production during the past year \ not only in acreage but in number of 1 bushels produced. "Practically 80,000 bushels of crop have passed the ,eld inspection thi< year,” says G. K. Middleton, who made the inspection for the North Carolina Crop Improvement Associa- ' tion. This is about double the amount that was handled last year in all classes as there were only 42,626 bu- 4 sbels handled during that year. Of this amount 23,000 bushels were in the | approved or lowest classification.” All seed to be eligible for sale un der the authority of this Association ( must pass the field inspection and . must also be inspected in the bin, 1 states Mr. Middleton. The seed are then classified as registered, certified, or approved. Due to a favorable har vest season, it is expected that a larger percentage of the seed this year will pass the germination and purity tests and that the final volume of certified seed will more than double that pro duced last year, he says. According to Mr. Middleton, an in-1 ci case in all crops has been made with tiie exception of Irish potatoes. A late frost in the heavy producing area-^ of this crop did considerable damage and the summer drought further re-, jdreed the yield. A normal, season, however, would have shown a nice in crease in the crop. ' Crops showing the greatest increase were wheat with an increase over last 'year of 5,410 bushels, oats with an in crease of 7,185 bushels, and cotton jwith an increase of 14,224 bushels.' Probably the largest increase was | made by lespedeza which has 6,373, I bushels inspected this year as com ipared with only 200 bushels last year.; With the exception of peanuts and Irish potatoes every crop showed an j increase in purebred seed of over two j hundred percent, says Air. Middleton.! -<a-1 Permanent Forests Are Needed In The South -(9> Steady reduction of taxable values of southern timberland has nearly bank rupted manv communities, according to he V. S.
