FARM ITEMS
By W. C. Williford
County Farm Agent
If you have trouble with in
sects of various kinds in your
stored grain, the following Infor
mation may be helpful.
Your storage area should be
swept clean of all old grain and
sprayed with a residual spray of
DDT, methoxychlor, or TDE.
Make a special effort to wet all
cracks, crevices, and walls thor
oughly. While the bins a.-e empty and
before spraying, make your walls
and floors as tight as possible be-Ciu-e
your grain will probably
hoc! fumigating within 2 to 4
weeks after harvesting. If you
plan on the farm storage under
government loan, you should
check with yout ASC office and
have them inspect your bin be
fore the grain is stored. There is
very little they can tell about the,
kind of storage you have after
your grain is in the bin, and there
is practically nothing you can do
to correct your troubles.
Remember the three step plan:
clean up and make your bins
tight, spray your bins while they
are empty, and use fumigants if
necessary after the bins have
been filled. Grain that is high in
moisture is more susceptible to
decay and insects than properly-
dried grain. If you think it is
running above 13, it will pay
you to spread it or use a dryer
if you can find one.

Tobacco hnrn worms have been
reported in Duplin and Columbus
Counties. Hornworm moths have
been taken from light traps in
both the Piedmont and Coastal
Plain areas.
There has been considerable
damage to the Hoke County cotton
crop from Ascochyta Blight and
from several other things that are

conditions. There is no serious
butbreak of this disease, and with
fairly good growing conditions, it
should not cause very much more
damage.
Should your cotton have suf
fered enough damage or loss In
i stand that you don't think it is
worth keeping and prefer to plant
something else, the ASC will give
you credit for having planted this
cotton.
Horace Godfrey Administra
tive Officer of the ASC, states
that "Where farmtvs have painted
their cotton al!"ttnent and found
it necessary to flow it up because
of not getting a rtand or other
failures, it is considered that the
acreage planted will go in his
cropping history as acres planted."
Mr. Godfrey also emphasized that,
when Compliance Supervisors
from the ASC office check your
farm for compliance, you bring
to his attention the fact that your
cotton was planted and later
plowed up or otherwise destroyed.
Several farmers in Hoke Coun
ty have suggested to me that
where it is necessary to replant
your cotton lard, beans or milo
are the best crops to use. This is
in agreement with suggestions
from your County Agent and the
Extension Specialists.
Jack Kclky, Extension Swine
Specialist, informs me that on
June 1, there will be a Tarn
worth Swine F:eld Day at Elmer
Daniel's farm on Highway 94 a
bout halfway between Rocky
Mount and Zebulon. The program
will include several features such
as a tour of the breeder's farm,
evaluation of the carcass demon
stration, what's new in pork pro
duction, and contiol of Burcello
sis, Cholera, lice, and other ex
ternal parasites. This should be
a very interesting day for the peo
ple in the swine business, espec
ially growers who are interested
in bacon type hogs.
One feature that will be includ
ed in Farm and Home Week that
probably has not been .brought to
your attention is a talk by Dr. R.
L. Beukenkamp, Agricultural At
tache of the Embassy of the Neth
erlands. He is a very interesting
and able speaker and well-qualified
to discuss some of the prob
lems and policies in international
trade.

ENDORSEMENT OF
JOHN B. REGAN
BY NEIGHBORS FOR
SOLICITOR
NINTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
f -1
A
I-
(I I
km i lL'-
Entirely apart from partisan politics, and without a derogatory word
about any other candidate for public office, Mr. Regan's home community
of St. Pauls feels entitled to the right and privilege of giving ourendorse
ment and stsmp of approval before the public he seeks to serve.
Never was there a day of greater need that our public servants be of
highest possible integrity and caliber, yet many citizens are perplexed in
their voting because they have to go to the polls without personal acquaint
ance with or sufficient knowledge of the candidates whose names are on
the ballots. We therefore offer this public endorsement of Mr. John B.
Regan as Solicitor of the Ninth Judicial District.
Mr. Regan was born in this community and has been known to many
of us since childhood. He enjoys a full measure of our esteem, confidence
and respect. His splendid ability, fine personality and pleasing disposition,
his pubic spirit and unselfish interest and devotion to all worthy causes
make him one of the community's most valuable assets in all phases of its
life Business and Professional, Religious and Social. He is former Presi
dent of our Chamber of Commerce and Rotary Club, a leader in Masonry,
past Deputy Grand Master of this Masonic district, Chairman of the Board
of Trustees of St. Pauls Methodist Church, Member of the North Carolina
General Assembly; and few good things go on in our commuiity in which
he does not have a leading part.
The same measure of integrity, ability and devotion will make him an
invaluable Solicitor of the Ninth Judicial District, and we commend him
to your favorable consideration.

r The ASC office says that on
May 4, 1954, the Senate passed a
bill to Increase the penalty on the
marketing of excess tobacco from
40 per cent to 50 per cent of the
average market price of the Im
mediately preceding marketing
year. This bill is now before the
House of Representatives and you
may hear whether it is passed or
not before you read this column.
If the new bill is passed, it will
meau that the new penalty will
be 20 cents in 1954 instead of 21
cents as it is figured under the
old bill.

used quite extensively as a catch
