The memorial poppies which will lie worn here no Poppy Day next Saturday in honor of Amer ica’s war dead have been made by disabled veterans of three wars, the two world wars and the Korean; conflict. The little crepe paper flowers have been made at the. V. A. hospital, Fayetteville, N. C., un der the direction of the Depart ment of the Auxiliary. The work has been given to those who could profit from its occupational therapy value and who w’ere in most need of the earnings. Pop pies have been made in scores of other veterans hospitals through out the nation, and in conveles cent workrooms maintained by the Auxiliary. "Some of the men making pop | ipes are World War I veterans | of advanced age, who have spent years in the hospitals and are highly skilled in the work,” "Others are younger men from World War II. while others are mere boys who receiv ed their disabling injures in Ko rea.

Jones, exten sion entomologist of Raleigh said today, in a telephone conversa tion with Cleveland County farm officials. He said an insecticide contain ! ing 20 per cent toxaphe.se and 10 per cent DDT is effective but should not b<* applied on any crop that is to be used for feed in the near future. There is no danger in applying the mixture to wheat as far as the grain is concerned. Jones said, as the grain is encased in a hull that protects it. He added that farmers shuold be very care ful about using the straw for feed. For pasture or hay crops Jones advised use of a 50 per cent tix ture of methoxychlor which has far less toxic effects. He advised applying methoxychlor on pasture and hay crops and waiting a | week or 10 days before grazing or cutting.
