Growers To Combat White Peach Scale The growing- invasion of the white peach scale, which has made sub stantial gains in North Carolina orchards since 1940, will be met with a "secret weapon" this year, reports Dr. Clyde F. Smith, entomologist of N. C. State College. ^ Not serious for many years, the peach scale made noticeable gains, in the Sandhills hi 1940, moved into new territory and new orchards in 1941, and made additional advances last year. Dr. Smith said the "secret wear pon" farmers can use Against this unwelcome invader is two applica tions of a 4 percent oil emulsion. The two sprays should be applied be fore the buds begin to swell on the trees. They Should be spaced about two weeks apart. The State College specialist sug gested that growers go through their orchards and spray the infected trees first Then two or three weeks later, the entire orchard should be sprayed with the oil emulsion. If the sprays are applied thorough ly, they will control the white peach scale as well as another enemy, the San Jose scale. Two sprays are absolutely necessary for satisfactory control, Dr. Smith said. FarmviUe can do much for its own improvement without waitmg for the end of the war or for somebody to leave the public a bequest. Simplified Form Reduces Income Tax Filing to Five-Minute Job - - ^ ■ ! The Federal Treasury is offering again this year to people whose 1942 income was $3,000 or less, a simpli fied income tax form which may be filled oat in five minutes or less. This is known as Form 1040-A. It may be used by any taxpayer whose $3,000-or-leas income came wholly from wages or salary, dividends, in terest or annuities. Last year when this time-eaver was first introduced, over 10,000,000 individual income tax returns were filed on it. People who had previous ly spent hours working over the reg ular report-form were enthusiastic about tiie ease and speed with which they could now complete their annual income tax chore. This year, with an estimated twelve million new taxpayers filing for the first time, the Bureau of Internal Revenue confidently ex pectes that nearly twenty million taxpayers will benefit from this short-cot way, saving in the aggre gate millions of hours of time and innumerable headaches. - Incidentlly, this simplified Form 1040-A is also a boon to the Internal Revenue Bureau, for it greatly re duces the amount at time previously spent with so many millions of tax payers in answering questions and helping them make out their re turns. A Glance at the above picture shows how quick and simple Form 1040-A makes this income tax filing Job. There are only 6 things for Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer to do; write down their names,., address and occu pation, the names of their depend ents, the amount of iu—nil received during the yeaiTtKe amount of de duction allowed on account of de pendents; check the square that shows their family status (whether married or single, etc.). Then they simply read from the form exactly 1' —r* rS—— what their tax is, and write it down on the return. That's all there is to it, and ft is over in a few short minutes. Then the taxpayer just signs, makes his payment, and the job is done. This year the return does not even have to be notarised, Congress having de cided in its tax-strsamlining pro gram that people should be spared that bother and expense. This form hss no entries for de ductions, since average deductions, i including the earned income credit, have been allowed for in figuring the taxee in the table. It is to be noted that people whose legal de ductions are unusually large,, would probably pay less tax by using the longer Form 1040. But for most people,in the |3,000-and-under brack et, Fonn 1040-A is not only a time saver, but a money saver, too. In spite of the fact that during the last two years the Internal Reve nue Bureau has increased its per sonnel, they will undoubtedly be rushed and crowded, as March 16th approaches, by the great increase in taxpayers necessitated by wartime high employment and wartime low tax exemptions. *So people who file early will be doing themselves a favor, se well as making a real con tribution to the smooth working of the nation's tax machinery. Blanks are ready now and may be obtained from all local Internal Revenue of fices, also st most banks and at many places of employment. Deadline for filing returns is March 16, 1948, and returns coming in late subject the tardy filer to a penalty. So on every count, it's smart to file sagy and avoid the "rash. This is the first war that Uncle Stun has gone into with his army partly WAACy. STATE COLLEGE ANSWERS TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS I QUESTION: When should head] lettuce be started? . ANSWER: James G. Weaver. State College horticulturist, eayB the seed should be planted in a coldframe at once. Many gardeners who seed early in the spring^wonder why their lettuce will not °he4d, not knowing that the vegetable will not head after the weather gets warm. In securing seed, the gardener should be sure to specify Imperial No. 44, Imperial No. 847, New York No. 515, or one of the older recognized standard heading varieties. Plant the seed thinly in a well-prepared coldframe and take good care of the plants. As soon as they are large enough, they should be get in a rich well-prepared bed. QUESTION: What are some of | the more profitable herb crops? " ANSWER: Economically, accord-, ing to L G. McLean, State College horticulturist, sage should be placed at the top of the list. Then, in oider, would follow corianda, mustard, fen nel, basil, dill, and sesame. Bella donna is another herb of great valine now because it is needed in great quantities by the armed forces. At least twice as much of this herb is now needed than can be supplied. Any grower interested in the produc tion of herbs is invited to get in I touch with Mr. McLean at State Col-| lege. wheat QUESTION: How should be fed to dairy cows? ANSWER: John - A. Arey, Exten sion dairyman, says the wheat should be ground coarse or rolled before given to the cow. If it ia ground fine, it will tend to form an undesir able sticky mass in the cow's mouth. However, the dairyman explained, mixing it with other feed largely eliminates this trouble. QUEST!Ok; What are good varie ties of soybeans for North Carolina conditions? ANSWER: Agronomist A D. Stuart says results from last year's variety tests indicated that Wood's Yellow, Tokyo,. Arksoy, and Herman are, still among the best obtainable. However, a new variety from Ten nessee—Ogden—has been outstand ing. .It ia high-yielding,' low-grow ing branching, green-seeded, and partially non-shattering.

C. State College. Prepared by Lewis P. Wateon, the publication is designed to impress the gardener.with the importance of proper preparation of the seed bed, the correct placement of fertilizing materials, the proper handling of seed and plants, and the necessity of good care in cultivating the plants during their growing period. A free copy of this booklet may be obtained by writing to the Agricul tural Editor, State College, Raleigh, and asking for Extension Circular No. 261, "A Garden Guide." The illustrated guide shows how a garden should be handled from the time the ground is broken to the time the vegetables are harvested. The methods described, according to Watson, are those which have been tried and found satisfactory under normal conditions. Forty-seven of the step-by-efeep pictures are contained in the 20-page circular, which has an attractive cover page of tomatoes in color. American forces stationed in New Zealand are supplied, through. Lend Lease arrangements, with the bulk of their foodstuffs, especially fresh meats, 'dairy products, fruits and vegetables.
