Spraying Of Garden Held Necessary By ROBERT SCHMIDT Every garden plant seems to have its special pest and some of them have more than their share of pests. It is not possible to give specific control information in a short column such as this, but cer tain principles of control may be emphasised. More effective spray materials are being developed each year but spray materials and labor are expensive and unless used properly and intelligently may be it waste of time and money. Organic gardeners to the con trary. we are going to have to spray our garden crops if we expect to control most insect and disease pests. In order to carry on a suc cessful spray program we must first know or determine what pest we are trying to control. Is It a dis ease? Is it a chewing insect like a bean beetle? Or a sucking insect like an aphid? And what sort of damage does it do? Second, we should know whal spray material to use to control the pest and how to apply it to be effective. For example, it would re quire a fungicide to control plant diseases and (his spray would have no effect on insects. Insert sprays would not control diseases. A spray thai will control aphids may not control bean beetles or cucumber beetles It is often necessary to know how and where to apply the spray. For example, the Mexican bean beetle feeds mostly on the under side of the leaf: therefore, the spray must be directed against the underside of the leaf in order to effectively control it. In order ?o | control aphids the sprays must be applied directly on the insect. Third, the spray must be applied at the right time. This is very im portant especially for the control of plant diseases as well as cer tain insects. A# day (oo late wiih the spray may mean failure to con trol the pest. Fourth, do a thorough job. Good coverage is necessary for effective control. There are many combina tion spray materials on thf market; that is, materials that will con trol several different pests, both insects and diseases. These are effective for the control of many pests but are usualty rather ex pensive because while you may be applying the spray for a single pest J you are using several unnecessary materials"Your county agenl can ^ .Wi I ? .1 , ??

With the weather warming up. you may not feel like talking?or even thinking?about woolen*, but according to Mamie Whisnant, State College extension specialist In home management, now is the time to plan storage of woolen olai.kets and bedding. If you're washing woolen blan kets this spring?or other woolen clothing, for that matter?try us ing the easy soak method for get ting them clean. According to Miss Whisnant. this simple procedure will save you time and a lot of hard work. And it'll also cul chances of shrinkage for those woolen materials. Here is the blanket - washing method developed by the U. S. De partment of Agriculture which will save shrinkage: submerge blanket In water in which a deler gent is dissolved and allow to soak, for 15 to 20 minutes. Then turn the [)/ blanket over once or twice, spin.* off water and refill machine for 1 rinsing. The rinse, too, is done ? simply by soaking?no operation of the machine. Soak in rinse water for around five minutes, extract e water, and turn blanket while a u second deep rinse comes into the 11 machine. Extract water and stretch y blanket to bring it back into size t and shape. When dry, brush it to restore Us original flufTinesS. 0 USDA specialists add that other e studies of washing wool fabrics in- r dicate that the less handling, rub- lJ bing, or agitation of wool in water, K the les sarc the chances for shrink age. In general, Miss Whisnant recommends using only luke-warm v or tepid wafer and a mild deter- ? gent for best results in washing woolen. ? c Community News f Of Hominy Area a MRS.

Gay at any time of the year is a room for two girls when bedspread is bagpipe brown, beige and yellow against yellow walls. 6 By VIVIAN HltOWN Associated Press Beauty Editor If you're planning a room for our young modern, better put ome sophistication into it, says 'atricia Harvey, member of the American Institute of Decorators. Ihe explains: I "Young people have gone mod- ( rn. They love unfussy furniture ? nd sophisticated fabrics. Just land them a bunch of swatches and j ou'U be amazed at the good taste ; hey display." Miss Harvey's most recent dee rative venture with young mod- t rns was a couple of rooms plan ted for sisters aged 16 and 17, sing this scheme selected by the iris; - . . Grass cloth walls of nff vorv shade, matching draperies . .'ith black, chrome yellow and innamon in a free form design, 'wo couches of cinnamon tweed rith throw pillows of black and hrome yellow felt in round, , quare and triangular shapes, i 'eladon green rug. Mahogany desk rith black stain-proof micarta top. Book shelves line one wall over cupboard unit planned to hold ; edclothes and linens. Give young j ieople pretty linens?solid or print | nd they'll adore tending their bed ! clothes, she says. Younger girls like pink. Miss Harvey says. She did a room in pink, cherry red and white for two under-15s. The floor of vinyl pink and white was topped with a cherry red area rug. Simple modern furni ture designed by Paul McCobb was washed down to its original birch and painted pink and white. A pink cotton bed throw had a cherry red dust rufTJe of gloshcen cotton, a pillow sham had a cherry red ruffle. The bed headboard was up holstered in white plastic and its wooden frame painted-pink. Drap eries were of inexpensive but un usual woven ribbon fabric. She framed a picture in white burlap and painted the scroll wire around it pink. An ice cream chair was painted cherry red and a pillow of pink iridescent cotton talfeta in serted in the heart back of the chair. Ready-made ensemble may be found to make the decorating job easier if you prefer. Plaid is poptilar with the young er set and one combination that may be carried out with a color scheme of yellow walls is to use the brown - beige - yellow combina tion of bedspread and draperies in the bagpipe collection. Ireasurer Says Money San't Buy U.S. Riches By JANE EADS WASHINGTON _ Ivy Baker 'riest. Treasurer of the United dates, says all the money in the ["reasuryt could not buy the treas irefl that most enrich this country. In an article written for the teekly religious magazine. Signs f the Times, she says all the ountry's dollars, even if taken to ether, could not buy the dedi ation and devotion of our people o the principles of freedom. "The irresistible, relentless prog ess that has given the United dates the highest standard of liv ng in the world, was not purchas d with money," she says. "Money annot buy patriotism, progress or ecurity. These are primarily piritual things that live in the earts of a people,and cannot ac rue to a government because of loney, or any materfal objects it a.v for treatment.

Indeed, she emphasizes, our American way is more than a treas ure. it is a "treasure chest of treas ures." composed of not one but a multitude, of related rights and *1 freedoms, the right to worship God according to the dictates of one's conscience, the freedom to experi ment, to change, to seek knowl i edge wherever research leads. "Happy homes, education, char acter, confidence, self-respect, kindness, generosity and peace? these different forms of worth while treasures, money cannot buy," she says. Mrs. Priest, who was named first woman treasurer of the United States by President Eisenhower, l.fcs written numerous articles and I is in constant demand as a speaker. These demands take her all over the country to address women's clubs, civic groups, banking orga nizations and the like. In Washington, the attractive, witty and ' vivacious wime of wealthy, retired businessman Roy I Baker Priest of Bountiful. Utah, is also much in demand at social functions. She is in fact, one of officialdom's busiest persons. The mother of three, she is cur rently involved in preparations for her eldest daughter Patricia Ann's forthcoming marriage. Pretty Pat, 18. a popular member of the capi tal's younger set, who made her debut last year, will be married in August to White House aide Lt. Comdr. Pierce Jensen, of Aska loosa, la., a graduate of the U. S. Naval Academy at Annapolis. ^phbeut PBOBtEms Memory Work Is Good For Children's Minds Y GARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, H?.D. IN one ol his last editorials, before he resigned as editor of the Journal of the National Edu cation Association, Dr. Joy Elmer Morgan urged that children be encouraged to memorize favorite passages of poetry and prose. Here and there one finds a teacher who believes as Dr. Mor gan does about the value of hav ing children All their minds with literary treasures; but so much has been said against this prac tice, that most teachers do not advocate it. As a result, literary or Biblical allusions are lost on the average high school or college student. Required Work A few educators are now say ing that it's good for children to memorize poems they have en joyed. Yet one rarely hears them recommend as required work, memorizing literary gems in the same ray that learning to spell, to add and subtract is required work. Of course, the modern trend ?C*rrttta. IHi. Slat I developed as a natural reaction to the lolly of half a century ago, of memorizing 'n parrot-fashion, words that had no meaning. ' So away with learning by rote" be came the cry, which is still heard today. But how far would the average student get, in law, med- ' icine or other technical fields, if he did not memorize by rote a good many symbols and facts? if he didnt do a lot of boning? Hold Fast to Idoaa Once the student, even in the grades, has turned words he reads or hears at school into ideas and language of his own, why should he not hold fast to these ideas? why ahould he not commit them to memory? And isn't there a place at school for memorizing some of the choicest bits of prose and poetry even before they are wholly understood? How many Vould pray the Lord's Prayer or the Rosary or repeat the Twenty third Psalm if they waited till they wholly understood them? r?wrweinstf u. iso Kiwanians See UNC Movie j On Democracy A sound film, "Democracy and Despotism." was shown at a meet ing of the Waynesville Kiwanis Club Tuesday night at Spaidon's by Dr. Wilson Nance, who was in charge of the program. The film, distributed by the Uni- j versity of North Carolina Exten sion Service and furnished here , by the Haywood County Public Li-J brary, stressed the theme: "It's the way that democracy is prac- ., ticed that counts." The film pointed out that a com munity can be gauged by measures of shared responsibility, respects of its citizens for each other, and public enlightenment.
