measures have been developed for all
four diseases, and not even the home |
gardner should suffer. Dr. Shaw de
clared.
Tire first and most important con
trol measure is to select healthy po
tatoes for bedding. Then, all seed
potatoes should be treated by soak
ing for 15 minutes, in a mercuric
chloride solution prepared in the pro
portion of one ounce of mercuric
chloride to eight gallons of water.
Tire water should be heated to around
100 degrees Farenheit. and the pota
j toes should be allowed to dry and
| should be bedded without washing.
If potato slips are to be transplant
ed on land known to harbor the wilt
or tern rot fungus, the root ends of
the slips should be immersed in a
Bordeaux mixture, prepared by mix
ing 1 pound of cooper sulphate (blue
stonei and 1 pound of lime with 2 Vi
gallons of water.
Where the scurf disease is present
in the soil, the roots pf the slips
should be dipped into a bag of sul
phur and transplanted immediately.
When both wilt and S'’urf are present,
Dr. Shaw advises the i p of Semesan
Bel.
There are resistan arieties to con
trol the black rot and root knot di
seases.
The Extension sepcialist offered to
supply complete information to any
grower who writes him at State Col

Number of Coastal
Plain Stars Would
Like To Play Here
New Ruling Will Bar Num
ber Players From That
League This Season
Representatives of eivht former
baseball players with the William
ston Martins in the Coastal Plain
League were in Plymouth this week
sounding out sentiment for organiz
ing a club to be established here for
the summer, but. so far. nothing defi
nite has been done.
A ruling recently made appli ible
to the Coastal Plain League regard
ing the number of experienced ball
players which can be carried by any
pne team is expected to bar them
from playing there this season, and
•vith the season fast approaching the
players—several of them recognized
itars of the league—wish to play
ind remain in this section which is
.vhy they are trying to interest fans
tere in promoting a team
The matter has been mentioned to
President Roscoe Bowers, of the
Plymouth Rocks, but so far nothing
pas been done, as he is waiting for
sentiment to crystallize into some ex
pression of active and guaranteed
support before he and his organiza
tion decides to operate a club, either
ndependently or in a league.
Among those understood to bo in
terested in playing here are Larry
Wade, pitcher, catcher and general
utility player; Dick Cherry, left
handed pitcher and first baseman:
Howard Earp. all-league shortstop
for two seasons: Ace Villepique, who
was chosen for the league all-star
game last summer, and George Rim
mer, outfielders; Pap Diem, third
baseman with the clothesline throw
to first; Breezy Beaird. pitcher and
infielder; and Grant Jefferson, pitch
er, who played class A ball last year.
It was understood that some of the
players were planning to return the
latter part of this week to discuss
the matter further. Plymouth has a
nice park, which needs some repairs,
and it may be that something can be
worked out to provide an excellent
brand of baseball here this summer.

Film Here Sunday
"Dancing Co-Ed” Is Artie
Shaw’s First Try In
Picture Making
The modern trend in ail its swing
ing glory wil reach a cinematic cli
max at the Plymouth Theatre on
Sunday when Artie Shaw makes his
cinematic debut with Lana Turner
and Richard Carlson in ‘‘Dancing
Co-Ed."
Two hundred jitterbugs, personally
selected by Shaw, acts as an animat
ed background for Miss Turner in a
dance-infested story of college life as
it might be when a Hollywood press
agent sends a vaudeville hoofer to a
university with the sole purpose of
winning a dance contest and grab
bing a lot of publicity for a picture.
When tire dancer upsets the apple
cart by falling in love with a college
editor and casts her vote for higher
education, the result is said to be
hilarious.
