STORED GRAIN j INSECTS SUBJECT OF CIRCULAR Information on control o: stored grain insects, wnu'h cau<e heavy losses on North Carolina farms each year, .s gi\en in a new pub lication just issued by the State College Extension Service. It is* Extension Circular No. 325, "Con trol Stored Grain Insects." The circular, prepared by James T. Conner, Jr., in charge of exten sion entomology, is considered particularly timely because of the bumper corn crop which farmers in the State are havesting this fall. Several species of insects are responsible for damage to stored frain, Mr. Conner says. Fortunate- ! ly, he adds, the same treatment, if properly employed, will control all ?f them. | The entomologist recommends lirst that old grain in the crib be cleaned up by of fumigation, or that it be removed from bins where the new crop will be stored. Then,; as soon as the new grain is put into this clean storage, it should be fumigated. A number of chemicals may be used. From the standpoint of the farmer, says Mr. Conner, the must > oractical fum gant is either a mix ture of three parts ethylene dich ioride and one part carbon disul- ] fide and carbon tetrach loride, or a mixture of one part carbon disul- j fide and four parts carbon te- j trichloride. The dosage will vrry according | to ^ temperature and t.ghtness of the bin. Further details are given in the 1 new circular, copies of which may ; be obtained free from the local j county agent or by writing to the I Agricultural Editor, State College! JStat.on, Raleigh. MANY EXPECTED "TO ENTER CONTEST Thousands of white high school students from throughout the State .are expected to participate in! the 1949 agricultural speak ing contest sponsored by the North Carolina Bankers Association, says', J. Frank Doggett, Extension soil! conservationist at State College. ' Several thousand dollars worth of government savings bonds and cash prizes will be awarded to school, county, district, and State winners in the contest, which is ^designed to stimulate interest in proper land use and treatment. # In a statement this week, John ! P. Stedman of Lumberton, chair-1 man of the agricultural committee of the Bankers Association, said: "-The; agricultural comm ttee of j the North Carolina Bankers Asso- | elation has for many years cen-! tered its interest around the pro- j tection of the soil of North Caro- ' Una, which is the State's most val uable asset. We, as bankers, real- , ize that the prosper.ty of our peo- | pie will rise or fall in proportion to the care or lack of care and treat - I ment that the majority of t:ie State's population, who produce' a livelihood from the land. i>;\c u> < it. "Approximately 72 per cent of all North Carol nians live in or produce from the country-side. For that reason, tho strongest ef- 1 forts are needed on the part of business and industry to foster an , effective educational program for; pn>per land use and care. It takes j along time to develop good land,' bill carelessness and neglect can j cause it to lose its value overnight.! "Again this year the Bankers!

HJ!c</ i\'!Uj( fkr 04ri?nS4S - . . % The Money Men Ju?t whore :? aN the mtion's norcy? Probably we've all ashed j that question at some time. How- | ever, we don't have to go far to find 1 a multitude of "experts" eager to point out the answer?their answer. These might range from the old wheeze about "90 per cent of the wealth in the hands of 10 per cent of the people" to other outdated adages just at economically un sound. The real answer is simple enough. In investigating the possible cul prits who command the nation's economy, most of us fail to consider the most important Individuals? ourselves. Yet many people think only of wealth as being controlled by a few. These usually are pic tured as pompous capitalists ex ploiting the masses for their own gain. , A more untrue picture could hardly exist. Equal Shares Actually, the distribution of the nation's money constitutes the most striking arguments for freedom of endeavor in our country. Togeth er with more than 50 million of his fellow employed workers', Mr. Aver age Citizen in 1945 took home some 114.5 billion dollars?71.1 per cent of the national income. As members of the largest group thev received the largest share of the country's money. This is the natural conse quence of democracy Wide distribution does not stop here. In the same period 15 per cent of the national income v.ent to the proprietor class?the farmers, small businessmen, doctors, den tists. md other pr. fessior.al people. It is difficult to think of the local farmer, the ftrrv.ej grocer, or the family doctoi* as greedy exploiters. Through the r own work and train ing they have provided themselves with a livelihood. More Sharing The remaining 12.9 per cent is again distributed. Rents, interest and dividends accoun* for the major part, with corporate savings amounting to only 2.8 per cent of the national income. Included in rent income are large nfimbers of small property owners.- whose rent bearing holdings might be only a i home or buildi-ng. Then. too. thou sands of small stockholders account for a good share of the interest and dividend income. The 4.5 billio^ dollars earred. ai corporate savtngl Is a far cry fh&m the "profiteer" pictures painted by those who would change our way ot~ economic life. For the most part, this is the source of the laboring man's income. This 2.8 ,per cent return to corporations is their share of a system which puts 71.1 ?per, cent into the pockets of the em ployed man. As a minority group, corporations receive a minority share. Despite these sobering statistics, there are many who would call for a change. There are .those who would take the responsibility away from the individual and vest it in a central authority. It is paradox ical that these interests would "give the wealth to the Reople" in a na tion where the majority of the peo ple now receive the majority of the income. They would junk our j successful economy to institute an i unproved one?all to' achieve an : ideal which we have achieved al- j ready in greater measure than has any other country Wife Preservers In dissolving starch on wash days, uaa cold or tepid water, never hot water. ing a speaking contest covering some phase of soil conservation."

During his five weeks of stren uous training at Fort Berming he learned the techniques and prin ciples of parachute jumping and ^nHing. In this period? he also .made five supervised jumps from a plane in Hi$ht at altitudes of 1000 and 1200 feet, ?ne of which was with complete combat equip ment. A large part of his training cov ered safety procedures in and around airplanes both before and during actual flight. It is this training which has helped so ma terially to reduce accidents among America's paratroopers. Another interesting part of the training was a glider flight he took during his raining period. .
