KENANSVILLE, NORTH C AROLINA FRIDAYJULY 19th., 1946 KENANSVILLITES Gay' and charming group of cocktail celebrants at a dance-. floor table at Sherman Billings ley's Stork Club at 2 East 53rd St in New York Included, from left to right,' Ka,tsy Hill of-Lindell Ave. St Louis, Mo., Charles D. Atkin FROM THE COUNTY AGENT'S OFFICE By LACY F. WEEKS Tobacco Diseases! . ' ' Tobacco diseases have spread throughout Duplin County to the extent that there are more acres of diseased tobacco this year than ever before. Some of the most dreaded diseases among tobacco growers have been found; among these axe Granville Wilt, Fusarium Wilt, Black Shank, Root Knot and Sore Shin. The percentage of loss In the effected fields range from 5 to 75 percent At least a 75 percent loss will be suffered on an 8 acre neia examines last week which was affected with Black Shank. On this same field last year only a few diseased to bacco plants were noticed. In near ly every case where the above dis eases are causing the most dam age, is where the tobacco has been grown on the same soil continu ously for a number of years. In cases where the diseases have de veloped, it will be necessary to keep tobacco off these fields for at least 3 or 4 years. A crop rota tion should be worked out on each farm whether diseases are present or not Many farmers in some of our neighboring counties virtually have been driven out of tobacco production due to these diseases. It Is only sound business for our farmers to plan now for a definite rotation in the years to follow. , Harlequin Cabbage Bngt ,. ' Harlequin cabbage bug or (ter- rppln bug) which has always been such a destructive pest can easily be controlled now if collards from which this insect feeds is dusted with Saba Dilla Dust. The dust kills the .insect immediately. It can be bought from local dealers. Last year several farmers in Duplin tried out this dust and found It to be very satisfactory. ; 1 O. E. S.

Growers who sold tobacco at auction on the Clinton market last season are eligible to vote. This is a tobacco grading referendum and should not be confused with referendums held on marketing quotas. If two-thirds of the grow ers voting approve tobacco Inspec tion, the Clinton, North Carolina market will be designated for free and mandatory inspection service. Ballots will be mailed to grow ers who patronized the Clinton, North Carolina, market last seas on insofar as their names and ad dresses are known. Growers who do not receive ballots by man may obtain them from their county agent or the office of the County Agricultural Conservation Assoc iation.

Home Demonstration Notes m Onpiln County Home Demonstration Office By Hilda Clonts National Home Food Preservation Week July 15 to 22 has been set aside as National Food Preservation Week. The shortage ot food has resulted from the world need of food and there will not be enough for everyone to buy what they (want That however, is not the onry reason tnai Duplin County people should preserve their food for next winter. The cost of food is always a big item in the family budget There is less pressure on the food costs when a big part of the vegetables and fruits come from family gardens. This is very important due to the recent rise in living costs. Wartime experience has shown that families with home gardens are more likely to preserve food at home for later use. By Increas ing home gardens now, and giving them good summer care, and by planting late summer and fall gar dens, the biggest home food pres- j ervation program in our history will be possible. Late vegetables are ideal for preserving, canning, and storing for winter use. Electrification Of More Farms Coming Remember the old saying about patience being a virtue? Well some 30,000 of North Carolina's farm people will be rewarded for their long, and at times, seemingly hope less wait for the magic of electri city during the coming fiscal year. The good news has been announ ced by the REA in an outline of Its ambitious 1946-47 program. In spite of the numerous short ages of material end labor over 7,000 miles of lines will be con structed In this State alone. This is very encouraging as It means electric current In 30.000 addition- al homes. There are numerous aids and plans for wiring buildings furnish' ed by the Agricultural Engineering Department of State College to help farmers get the Job done right. So take advantage of the practical kelps offered All those . wonderful devices that are dreamed of will be back on the market soon, and the farm er who has been In the dark will have a chance to really s'Jne, Warsaw Rotarians WelcomeDist.Gov. J7 Ozmer L. Henry First Cotton Bloom Reported In County The Times has received cotton blooms from four Duplin farmers. Nettie Williams of Rt. 2, Warsaw, was the first to report. She re ported that blooms were seen over 4 acres of cotton for a week prior to June 28th. She gets the custom ary year's subscription for the first bloom sent in. James Darden of Rt. 1, Kenans ville and Foye Goodman of Rt. 2, Mt. Olive sent in blooms on June 29th and W. A. Byrd of Rt. 2. Warsaw, sent in a bloom on July first , - Sweet Potato Vine Harvest Devised Agricultural Engineers of the U. S. Department of Agriculture have devised a sweet potato vine harvester that may prove to be a cheap and easy means of saving the vines of this crop for feed. Present practice is to leave them on the fields, where they are a handicap in harvesting the pota toes and are of little value except to provide humus to the soil. Where weevils infest soil, they also furnish food and shelter for them and make control difficult. It is estimated that the vines and cull roots could furnish suc culent roughage for approximately a million dairy cows annually. Tested in the field, the new harvester is reported both inex pensive to build and simple to op erate. It harvests vines from half an acre in an hour, and In r heavy crop, from ten to twenty tons a day can be harvested with light tractor. The harvester ron-l-ts of twr. main parts. One is a vine-cutting mechanism. The vines grow in a tangled mass over the beds or rid ges and anchor themselves to the soil by small roots. Two 8-inch rolling coulters and a pair of 32- mch Texas-type half sweeps are arranged to cut the vine mats apart and free them from the rid ges, one row at a time. A cast iron wheel 15 Inches In diameter and with a 5-inch tread rolls Just behind the sweeps and presses the vines against the top of the ridge to aid the cuttngi action of the sweeps. . . Once freed from the ridees. the vines are picked up on a 12-inch drum with four sets of disannear. Ing fingers, which delivers them to the elevator to be carried hlirh enough to be loaded on a trailer. A tractor power take-off drives the harvester. Success depends much on havW the beds shaped right A method has been developed wherebv beds can be maintained with equipment available on most farms. . OPENS NEW STORE IN ROSE HILL Arthur Apple, manager of Katx Department Store In Warsaw, has recently opened a new department store In Rose Hill. Mr. Apple says he is planning further expansion in the near future. No. 29 At th meeting of the Warsaw Rotary Club, Thursday, June 27, Ozmer L. Henry, prominent Lum berton Attorney and for the past year Governor of the 188th dist rict of Rotary International, was welcomed by the club. He met with the Board of Directors and Committeemen before the regular meeting and advised and assisted the new officers on matters per- -tabling to club administration and Rotary service activities. After the luncheon Governor Henry ad- - dressed the club on "A Rotarian Serves", his club, his community, and his nation. At the next meeting the new officers will be installed by out going president Finn Lee. New Druggist Now At Warsaw Drug Company Jesse Stuart of Wallace, a re cent graduate of the school of pharmacy at the University of North Carolina, has accepted a po sition with the Warsaw Drug Co, according to an announcement by manager Bill Sheffield.
