PAGE TWO THURSDAY, MAY 24th, 1945 THE NEWS-JOURNAL, RAEFORD. N.C POOLE'S MEDLEY (By D. Scott Poole) In Webster's Blue Back Speller there were three words spelled dif- j lerently out pronounced aiiKe: acre, a square of land 69.75 each way: acher, one that aches; and achor, a scaldhead. And: core, the center; corps, a body of troops, and chore, light work. Why are there silent letters in W iu-. s because they are derived fn:n Mime- foreign language, perhaps; truth is. I never knaw. But boys used to have fun spelling phthisic tis.c. and thwart and kindred words. A letter is a character which vepwent the sound of the human vo.lC used in speaking.

Houses have burned downed occasionally, and as 1 think back I recall almost a many houses which had brick chim neys as there were with wooden chimneys. People were more ca.'cfa! when there was danger. The people were strictly economi cal when they had but little. They are like that yet. The major oar, of the saving has always been on the part of the woman the house keeper. Occasionally there was an extravagant wife in a co rmunitv, a-d all the folks forme . her acquain tance.

Putting pullets in rang' shelters on field.-, with plenty of tender green feed is one of the best practices lor producing healthier and faste" growing pullets, says C. F. "Chic" Parrish. in charge of rxtension poul try work at State College. He suggests that the range shel-C- can be made about 9 by 10 feet ta accornvodate 100 pullets. It should be built on skids so that it can be moved to a new location about once a month or whenever the pullets eat all of the green feed near them. Soybeans and corn with about 390 o- 400 pounds of complete ferti lizer pc acre and no ch cken ma nure will provide excellent graz ing. This is also true with lepe deza and alfalfa. Where the lespe rieza was klled by the freeze, beans an ' corn can be planted. The- average farmer or poultry aian, for that matter, can just about double the water and feed hopper space that he figures to be sufficient for his flock and f nd it a paying investment, Parrish says. Chickens , make relatively fast growth and they respond quickly to plenty ol feed and water. Parrish especially recommends the outdoor feed hopper which is de scribed on page 8 of War Series Extension Bulletin No. 5. entitled "Equipment for Poultry." This hop per keeps out the rain and the sun from the feed. A free copy of the publication may be obtained by writ- ! ing the Agricultural Ee'litor, Slate College, Raleigh. . o Crop Pest Losses Amount To Millions Every year the losses caused by crop pes's amount to millions of dol lars in North Carolina and this year the insect pest situation is particu larly threatening, say Extension specialists at State College. J. Myron Maxwell, Extension en tomologist, has already reported that the emergence of boll weevil is much greater this year than in many years past. Chinch bugs threaten the corn crop in some areas. The Mexican bean beetle, the codd ling moth, the potato leafhopper, and the pea aphid, for example, are on the move. t j Farmers cannot depend on adverse weather conditions to help them con trol the pests. The pests multiply so rapidly that favorable weather for only a short time may cause ! serious damage to crops anrt growers l must be prepared to fight the pests, i On account of transportation diff iculties, materials for fighting the various pests should be obtained I well in advance of the season when they are to be used. .With the demand for increased food and feed crops greater than at any other time in the history of the United States to supply fating allied forces, antl liberated coun tries, Maxwell urges North Carolina growers not to depend on the wea ther for insect control but to take diefinite steps to fight them. The same is also true for plant diseases. I There are scarcities of many In secticides. "If growers wait to order insecticides until the pests are ac tually attacking the crops in serious numbers, it is net likely that de liveries can be made in time," Max well says.
