m THE NEWS^OtmNAI^ N. C. IStM CIu^,^ 'Sf i At the start of another tobacco gtowinf season in North C^Una, L. T. Werts, Extension specirfist of N. CL State Coflege, calls to ttie at tention of tamers tte results of ex- poiments and demcmstratlons prov- ing value of crop rotations m controlling disease outbrMlo. *^tating crt^w is probably the oldest way. of trying to keep down tobacco diseases, and certainly it w the most Wmon.” Weeks said. “HoweVter, really effective disease control can be acconvlhhed only by intelligent rotation adiusted to spec ific disease - control probtems. bt ottier words, just hit-or-miss rota tion for any and all tobacco troubles won’t do. Oiflerent.^iseat^ call for different crop rotatiwas." The specialist cited as an example that bare fallowing is no help at ^ ' in clearing u^ soil infestation with Granville wilt. To control that dis ease the .land, afters a crop of to bacco, needs to be .crofiped to com, velvet beans or soybeans, cowpeas, small grain, or grasses. The U. S. Department of Agri culture rrqxnrted that tests on Gran^ ville wilt at ■ Creedmoor in Gran ville county showed the value of the tobaedd’ etbp in various rotations ranged from nothing with cantin' uous tobacco, to f 1^ an acre for td- baox) after xedtG^ and $129 for to bacco after CQ^. “On the other hand,” Weeks said, bare fallow^ is very effective with root knot disease, Soil ihfested with rodt knot is reduced most rapidly .rWilli^ ipiod attendwtec .andv-i^ Ufogrinai titc'^llpcfard Bi>teaniS;-cltth sMBiafr toibe.

Dean I. O; Schaub, director of the Stete col lege extension, service, says that the agricultuml picture^for. 1941 has, both a bright and a dark side. On fte bright side he lists poultry, with an expected-increase in ifemestic den^d; dahrying, wife some In- creaise' exp«ited in es^rts, bett» buyii^ powiHf,. and a favorable feed situation; hogs, cattle iPnd riieep, with slaughter supplies lower than in 1940 and* a terger domestic cim* [turner demand along with better prices to producers; and fraits; which face a better demand even though larger plantings generally are being made. On the dark side of the, picture are-listed: Tobacco, with vital ex port markets closed and only the AAA farm program, assured for-thr^ years, as’ the stabilizing faf^r is price; cotton, with a world supply knger than ever, reduced foreign markets, and no change in price ex pected in 1941; peanuts, wijth the pri^ determiming factor supplied by the government- diversiran program although a somevt^t better domestic demand is anitcipated; and cost of farming, which will be higher al though somewhat offset by increased prices for the things tiie farmer has to sell. With these facts in mind, Dean Schaub urged that “we set our rural house in order that we may be read^ for any eventuality.” He suggests that any repairs needed' now‘ about the home or farmstead should be attended to at once. Reserves of food and feed should be shved; pure bred sires should be secured to head flodcs and herds; and supplies of tb best farm seeds should be procured. Tin ' general,’’ he declared, “tlw farm should be made ready — ready for whatever may happen.” Say *T tew it in The NewB-JonpiaL’ timir is to teu ycni’^tidMi^bout life in New Ybric ttAt will be ff interest to yott The whole. reason • why I tbiifirtiiat I can 40 tti^f ik ‘Uiat 1 can look at New Yoric tt^pou^ the ses of a bouthenier smdll-towh^. But after all, Ifead here aeven- and a half years how-" and aome^es I have , a sneaking feeling that I probably miss teRing you a lot of things that yau^ might be curious abonh^’vln :such -a state of mind, 1 am helped by n/wedC'ki^^assodation with souihemi^ visiting New York. I like to see what tiiey db, vtrhat fh^ comment iMV what thcK thUtic about tiie life th^ sw here.^ Two such visiors were her&^is week and it was an interesting ex perience to follow theiir mergetic ht-seeing, play-i^ihg and shop ping: liiiy pl^ivathm Ited me to draw*a few cbnclusiote atioUt the things that interest the southern vis itors most ih New Ybfk: First, -1 woul** W. come the the atres and night clubs, tiie theatres for the growh-Ups, the ni^t clubs for the youngsters. The ■ closest thing that ihost of us have seep be fore we come to New York are the home , talent plsys of peitops none-too-good traveling company of actors. The jump from these to per formance by Helen Hayes or Katii- arine Cornell is considerable. The New.York theatre does things with scenery and lights that most of us hadn’t previously conceived of and the whole performance in an exper ience of the eye and heart that makes us know that we are in the city where the theatre of live actors reaches its highest point. For the lovers of popular music and dancing there is' little to equal the experience of dancing and lis tening in one evening to Guy Lorn' bardo, Horace Heidt or any one of three dozen famous ordiestras vriiose persom^ties and style of music have been Itinned into their beuig for years oh records, in the movies and jeaM^ Thf^ Is etert|^ h. mosjdiere at New York at*j the clock is forgotten ali" “tomorrow morning.” Of second interest, fo the ladies at' any rate, «ure New, Yo^’s stores. Men 'Infers io New Y^ may sleep late but not tiie ladies. They are up early, hiking 91 Fiftj^avenue, walking the miles of aisl^in York’s peat storte, marvellilig at the riosepa^ed masses of hoppers, the variety of merchandise, the show windows each of which is a little the- atre in its^ using all . the modem miraries of ligh^iS hii4 soenmy. A morning end afternoon of shopping brings aching arches and a Variety of ivurdtases, each usuk^ small but representing a fascinating hour or so of shopping. To hiusical' i^isitors the Metro- poUtah O^ra and* tbe concerts at Cifimegie Hall are a must. Most visitors wdht to museums and arT galleries but “don’t know whether we’ll have time.” Most are impressed with the friendly and talkative taxi drivers, with foe big, handsoihe, twinkle-eyed policemen most of whom seem to be Irish as they expected. Most visitors are ® impressed with foe crowds, with "foe difficulty of getting tickets to popu lar shows, with foe foterest New Yorkers show in southern accents, vrifo their own ability to find their way around in the city (it’s really one of foe easiest, places in foe -world to get around in) and -with the rush and hu^ in the streets. It en courages me that mpst of these are things I have commented on at one time or anoforir but if s good to take stodc once in a -while. BUtT^ (Contributed) The roads and roadsides of the South may easily be made one of our chtpf assets. Plant life is so abun dant in many sections of foe South that all that is needed to, make foe roadsides attractive is a little skillful thinning, pruning, and transplanting of native material. Supplemaiting foe native growth here and there With ornamental planting of some foaracteri there are few sections of roads indeed that cannot lie easQy transformed into vistas of gte^t beauty. Traffic follows foe modem, hard surfaced highways, md each suc ceeding year sees motor-vehicle traf fic increasing, both in foe form of private cars and modem motor coaches. If,'then,’we would make a fav orable impresrion on these visiters, and would advertise foe natural beauty of foe South, there is no bet ter way' than by. improvisg foe at tractiveness of our roadsides. The most commendable motive for creating beauty is for beauty’s sake, of course; but just now, due to ex ceptional opportimities which have presented themselves, in . the form of these government facts, we should work diligently to foe end tiiat foe main hi^ways and roads be placed in as attractive condition as possible this year, in order to malre travel more mjoyable for foe many who -will pass our way, and that de sirable opinions may be formed of us and foe South. While is is quite true that any well-planned project for lasting provement usually requires many moiitiis for it» consummation, mufo of a semipermanent or temporary nature can be done in a shigle see son. . ' Due to initial cost and the neces sity for thorough planning, shmbs should be considered for ure only where plans for permanent beauti fication have been completed. But fortunately for us, there are a nuxn- ber of annual flowers of such hard iness, dependability, and penistence of bloom that bur roadsides mhy be transformed into avenues of lovw* liness wifoin a very few mpnttui, and at negligible cost and effinrt The time is short Yet titere is. ample time if foe plans are stwfed at once. If your garden diib, wom- ui’s club, civic (wganization, or even small group of interested indi viduals, vrill become active innned^ lately, the selected roadways may be transformed into-avenues of color ful beauty by tiie time the stream of motor traffic starts its great flow in early summer. ^ Our first actiitity fooidd be to interview foe highway engineer or other representative of foe state hiipiway depaxtqaent,'. and obtain his cooperation. ^ When thb purpose and plan are explained tp him, be will probably be able- to lisggest sections of road tor first attention. In any event, whatever is done with rtference to dtete roadk must be done with, foe futi knowledge and coDsentof the sfate hitfia^ am ment. These hi^way dtipartmenfs are usually .adllJng to* give every Iwe*' Bible support- to aUy movtottent to mate the hlghWttys hi their reipee*. tive states mme attractive.
