L. F. WEEKS
BLUE MOLD:
o ti
With tobacco plants from two
three weeks later than normal a
large percentage of the tobacco
growers are making arrangements
for treating their plants for blue
mold control. If blue mold should
strike the small plants in the near
future, many of them would no
doubt be completely killed, Those
that survive will be from 10 days
to two weeks later going to the field
which would further delay the to
bacco crop. Growers who are plan
ning to treat for blue mold control
should have their equipment ready,
and Fermate on hand and begin
spraying when plants are the size
of a dime.
12 oz. of Fermate dissolved in 25
gallons of water will spray 500 sq.
yds. of plant bed one time. Plants
should be sprayed twice each week
until transplanted and repeated fol
lowing each rain.. It is important
to use a spray that will create a
strong pressure, and apply the ma
terial in a fine fog. Do not wait un
til blue mold appears to start
spraying.
INSECTICIDES:
A large quantity of insecticides
are used annually in Duplin Coun
ty for the control, of insects on
many crops. Many poisons will be
hard to find this year. The supply
of some of them are as follows:
Calcium arsenate - tight;
Cryolite - adequate;
Defoliants ample;
Dinitro compounds tight;
Fumigants generally adequate:
Lad arsenate - tight;
Nicotine - tight;
Paris Green - probably adequate
Pyrethrum - adequate;
Rotenone - adequate;
Sabadilla - critical;
Sulfur - adequate;
DDT - production high, but de
mand still higher.
Get your sprayers, dusters, and
insecticide materials ready now. It
may be too late if you wait until
you need them.

Are Your Farm uuuaings muot
One out of every 100 homes will
be burned or damaged by fire this
year, reports the National Fire Pro
tection Association. Fire in farm
homes is usually more destructive
than In urban homes. A man's life's
savings can go up in smoke in an
hour's time. All this can happen
when farm people 'take chances.
The fire risk involved in permitting
lire hazards to exist on the premi-
against the farmer, and for. the
firs demon. .T -'
.: Ninety percent of all borne and
farm fires can be prevented by re
moving the hazards. Good house
keeping means cleaning out rub
bish and combustible material, re
moving old furniture from attics
barns and outbuildings, and dis?
posing of dried weeds and brush
which have accumulated along the
fences and near buildings.. .-vf.i'V
.The Spring Clean-Up Campaign
is an ideal time for all people to
take an inventory of debris accumu
lations and see that they are re
moved. A tidy, attractive home or
farm is a safe borne and farm. ' r
You And Your Family: " r
; The happiest place on earth! ).',
That's what home can mean to
your family; - to any family that
plans, works, and .plays together.
Wives and mothers, some, 3Va
million of them throughout rural
America, 300,000 in this State be
lieve that good homemakers, like
heroes, are made, not born. They
gather in groups, large and small,
to study art and science of happy
family living. Their interests are
broad, extending to anything and
everything that has to do with the
family's health and welfare - from
stretching the family dollar to the
proper food for young Bobby's
teething time. They learn first aid
for home accidents, how to cut
corners on housework, to make
and plan family fun and put some
thing by for a rainy day. , v
