Dust the fluoride on places where the roaches run, said Dr. B. B. Ful ton, research entomologist at State College. When they lick the dust off their feet, it poisons them. Since young roaches are likely to hatch from eggs already laid, he continued, the dusting should be re peated every few weeks until they disappear. If the roaches continue to infest a house, it is evident that they come from some source where at least some of the roaches are not reached by the dust Clothes moths cannot live in a high temperature. If fabrics are spread outdoors on a warm, sunny day, Dr. Fulton continued, they will soon de velop a temperature fatal to the moths and eggs. Saturating clothes with dry clean ing fluid and then putting them out in the sunshine- to dry is recommend ed in cool weather. After they have dried, they may be stored by tying them up in paper or muslin bags. The simplest treatment for moth infested furniture is to take it out of | the house on a warm, sunny day and drench the fabric with dry cleaning fluid. Allow the furniture to re main in the sun until dried. Sodium fluoride, mixed with eight parts of wheat flour to one part of fluoride, is an effective control for silverfish, Dr. Fulton added Place the bait in the attic, basement, clos ets, on shelves, behind books, the space under the bathtub, and any other place where the insects may be. October Is Time To j Plant Flower Bulbs Flower bulbs which are to blos som in the spring, such as tulips, hyacinths, narcissi, and grape hya cinths, may be planted in October, or as late as mid-November in east em North Carolina. The ideal soil dees not pack, is crumbly and moist, yet well drained, said Glenn 0. Randall, professor of floriculture at N. C. State College. When preparing to plant bulbs, plow the soil to a depth of 10 inches, then pulverize it thoroughly, he recommended. Stable manure, thoroughly decay ed, is a good fertilizer. If decayed manure is unavailable, bone meal may be used, or a complete fertili zer containing 4 or 5 per cent nitro gen, 8 to 10 per cent phosphorous, and 4 to 6 per cent potash. A good way to plant bulbs, when they are to be set in clumps or in beds, it to remove the upper four inches of soil, set the bulbs the de sired distance apart, and then cover them with the soil that was removed. When planting a large area, the soil may first be removed from a space about 3 to 5 feet in oize, the bulbs placed in position, then cover ed from soil removed from an ad joining area. This opens up the adjoining area, where bulbs may be set and covered with soil from an area jnst beyond. This process may be followed until the entire lot is planted. ; In all cases, Randall stressed, ap ply the fertilizer and carefully pre pare the soil before setting out the bulbs. ; ? >. .* .. ? 3 " -- - _ ? u Sees Future Profits In Raising Hogs I Every year North Carolina farm ers axe buying outside the State ap proximately $1,000,000 worth of work stock that could be raised at home.?* This is dearly a waste of money, in view of the fact tint it costs al most nothing to raise a few horses or moles for home use, said Fred M. Haig, professor of animal husbandry at State College. When a mare drops a colt in the spring, she need be away from work * jtjLum mt ftirini>^FliifuriTir feed for work stock, Professor Haigj continued. Four acres will produce all the feed needed by a horse or a mule for one year. The number of horses and mules in the United States has been decreas ing steadily, with the price going up, he pointed out. In North Carolina, the number dropped from 408,000 in 1925 to 339,000 at the present time. Good work stock will always be in demand, he observed, and the price will remain high as long as the sup ply is low. Unless North Carolina farmers breed and raise more stock* at home, he added, they will have to pay out large sums in the future for work animals, or else try to get along as best they can with an inadequate number of animals to do the work. Farmers Urged Not To Buy Work Stock With the current trend of pork prices, North Carolina farmers are again finding a profitable source of income in the production of hogs. Growers raising hogs for market should breed their sows about No ' vember 1 and May 1 each year, said W. W. Shay, swine specialist at State College. By following this schedule; two | litters can be produced each year so that they will be ready for market ing in September and April respec tively, when prices are usually high lest The ideal marketing weight fof a hog is around 200 pounds, Shay said. Growers raising hogs for home con j sumption may vary the breeding date, but if they plan to sell some of their hogs, Shay said it will pay them to follow the recommended shedule. Where pigs were farrowed in Sep tember, they should be weaned in October and early November. The weaning process should start by giv ing the pigs access to com and fish meal or tankage. After about four weeks they should be taken complete ly away from the sow. v Castrate the male pigs before they are completely weaned, Shay recom mended. | Self-feeder, in which feed may be j kept before the pigs at all times, will hasten their growth. Directions for j building self feeders may be obtained free from the agricultural editor at State College. Raleigh, N. C. Give the pigs an abundant supply of pasturage on a lot that is not contaminated with worms. If worms ! once get into the pigs, they are usual ly there to stay, Shay warned.
