We used to call auto-intoxication.
I had no appetite, and at times

ANSWERS TIMELY
FARM QUESTIONS
QUESTION?Is there such a
thing as a white blueberry?
ANSWER?According to E. B.j
Morrow, research associate profes
sor of Horticulture at State College,
most so-called white blueberries
are usually pinkish white rather
than pure white. They are rela
tively rare, and in his observations,
he states that he has only found
' one which was collected near the
Bluff Park on the Blue Ridge
Parkway some years ago. There
has also been some heard of and
found in the vicinity of Magnolia,
N. C.
White blueberries are of no par
ticular interest commercially, but
they might be of some value in
studying the inheritance in blue
! berry crosses. The simplest way
1 to put it, he states, is to say they
are probably similar to the Albino
in the human race and probably
just as rare in occurrence.
QUESTION?What causes the
early dropping of tomato blossoms?
ANSWER ? There have been
considerable requests for ?this
question to the Horticulture De
partment at State College, and M.
E. Gardner, head of the depart
ment, attributes the early drop
pings of blossoms this year to ex
cessively dry, hot weather when
some of the earlier plants were
blooming.
If you have not noticed any re
covery of your plants since the
weather became more seasonable,
you may write to the Horticulture
department for additional infor
mation.
QUESTION?How can I control
cockroaches with the use of DDT?
ANSWER?Spray with a 5 per
?cent oil or dust with 10 per cent
and runways, paying close atten
