STATE COLLEGE ANSWERS TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS QUESTION: What can I do to control termites ih the home? ANSWER: James T. Conner, Jr., Entomologist for the State College Extension Service, says that when a home is found to be infested with termites, the first step to take is to make a careful examination tc^ determine the extent of the in festation. If it is very slight and : localized, the removal of all old j boards and pieces of wood near the foundation of the house may remove the infestation. Severe in- j festation may require the replac- j Ing of infested timbers with new j material. Termites that are in the ^ woidwanifi iiMtfi.yhJWJittftliii.

It is therefore essential, he points | out, that any possible contacts the j termites may have with the soil1 and timbers of the building be eliminated.

(International Exclusive) G QF G SETS MAY 1 TO START MEMBERSHIP DRIVE FOR THIS YEAR The directors of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce met in the office of the secretary at Lloyd Hotel Friday night to dis cuss the 1947 membership drive vere; do not use old plant bed site if Wildfire was present in bed the year before, or unless old site and sidewalls are properly sterilized; do not allow tobacco trash of any kind to get into plant bed; boil old cover before using again; use Bor deaux treatment in plant beds; and rotate crops and plow under plant parts in field early. and other matters coming before the board. Since the Sylva Merchants Asso ciation has voted to combine its ef forts-with the Chamber of Com merce there will be only one mem i bership drive for the two organi zations. The 1947 membership drive will start May 1st and will be com pleted as rapidly as possible. There has been little response to the request by the Chamber of Commerce for the names of the people who are keeping, and plan to keep tourist this summer. So far only ten places have sent in 'their listings. This information is to be used on a printed directory and does not cost the individual anything.

Bugs in the Budget Did you know that income of the federal government for the next fis cal year will be nine times, maybe ten times, what it was in the boom period of 1929? It will be at least seven times the receipts the federal government h;:d in 1939. Weak na tion it would be, indeed, that could not balance a peacetime budget with the receipt side of the ledger at enormous peacetime highs. Just to balance the budget during boom times, however, is not enough. We must rotire debt and reduce taxes. Looking a* another angle, the federal government wants to spend dia" in any year of the Thirties, when deficit spending was in the habit forming stage. Has it now become fashionable for our government to spend all it can uet" Have we for gotten that the more we spend the more we shall have to tax? Pet Projects If we cannot, under f ivorable con ditions of hi'.'.h employment find trade, get hold of ourselves long enough to retire our national d/ut and cut our taxes, at what future time do we expect to do so? Is our budgeting so (Ait of hand th?t Con gress cannot gain control over it? Or is the public tl\us unmindful of the trouble we're in for under a tax load required by the spending of $D7.f>00, 000.0C0 annua'lv. ? Both the President and the C< ti gress have given evidence of honest desire to keep the expenditure sale of the budget down. Hut the pres sures that a.re applied from every direction call for spending more money. As a people, we shall have to exert great moral forti'ude at this time if we cxnect an about-face in a spending philosophy grown a!'.' ?st traditional. We need not complain to the government for being spend thrift, if at home We insist upon be ing spendthirsty about our pet proj ects. Economy begins first at home. Examine Everything Although the war has been over nearly two years, your government wishes to spend more in the next fiscal year a?^y<\than was spent dur ing the whole of World War I. Of course, this is a dangerous era, and no one wants.to hn-pstring our na tional defenses. The whole nation wants the occupation program to suc ceed, But more efficiency and the least possible waste of manpower and money should b?? the or der of the day. As late as November the War and Navy Departments were still em ploying more than a mTnTorT-civil ians. Spending in every department, military or non-military, should be studied carefully. Everyone knows it is easier to keep 0:1 spending gov ernment money than to r.ctrench. This is just as true of the national defense. Despite warnings of what may happen, Congress will do well to examine these expenditures. Trimming down expenses is not an easy task for Congress. Snail's prog ress will be made unless the people make themselves heard. A big and wasteful budget now, carrying with it a tax penalty upon the enterprise of the people, coy Id do much to start us down hill toward the kind of econ omy Russia hns. 'Most American's, I believe, wt.uid rather be allowed to spend their own money than have the government spend it for them.

Plan CONCRETE WORK SYLVA, N. C. ?r 4 Announces Details of $20)|00,000 Price Reductions Details of thv recently announced International Harvester policy ot making price reductions to save users of. ouV' products approximately $20,000,000 a year have now In ;>n worked out. We have reduced prices on 163 models. These cover 12 basic models of farm tractors, 123 basic models of farm machines, 16 basic models of industrial tractors and e ngines, and 12 mod els of motor trucks, as well as certain motor t?*uck attachments. The new lower prices are effective as of March 10, 1047. These reductions were m.ule not because of any cjecline in demand, but . . ause we believe nothing is more important to this country than to lower the prices of the goods people buy. While prices have not been changed on all products, we have made reductions wherever possible, in the amounts possible. Prices of many of our most popular products have been substantially lowered. Altogether, more than half of the company's customers will be benefited by the reductions, which range from 1 % to 23.8% and from $2.50 to $300 per item, based on list prices, F.O.B. Chicago. Since the people have demanded that the government withdraw from price control in j.oa clime, the responsibility to keep prices in chcjk is hack where it should be?in the hands of business and industry. The business outlook makes it possible for us to move toward the goal of lower prices, and we have felt a duty to act as promptly as possible. Our ability to maintain these lower prices will depend on the supply and price of E&aterinla we buy from others and on uninterrupted pro duction at reasonable wage levels.
