Spray Raspberries I To Control Disease Immediate attention given rasp berry fields as soon as the crop has been harvested will increase the yield and the profit next year, says H R. Niswonger, extension horti culturist at State College. One of the main points, he says, is to keep the new canes from dying of leaf spot disease as many did last year. Remove all old canes at once. Then spray the new growth with either a home-made or a commercial Borde aux mixture so as to cover all parts of the plant throughly, he adds. Spray again threee weeks later and again in another three weeks. To make 12 gallons of Bordeaux mixture, he points out, put 10 gallons of water in a wooden tub or barrel. Add two ounces of soap flakes or cnips and stir until disolved. Stir into the soapy water one pound of powdered bluestone until it disolves. Add one pound of hydrated lime in a paste mixture or sift the dry lime through a strainer while stirring the water vigorously. Then add enough water to make 12 gallons of the solution. Smaller or smaller amounts of the mixture may be made in the same proportion Niswonger points out. A 60-gallon barrel! is a convenient ves sel in which to mix the larger a n.ounts. Be sure to keep the raspberry patches cultivated frequently to stimulate new growth of the canes and to keep weeds and grass out of the field, Niswonger urges. Manure and Legumes Double Crop Yields Crop yields on the farm of R. C. Williams of the Rock Rest commun ity in Union county, have been doubled in the last few years by the growing of vetch in winter, lespe cleza in summer, and the adding of manure secured from the feeding of beef cattle. “Mr. Williams has only 141 acres in his farm,” says L. I. Case, animal husbandman at State College. “Most of the cleared acreage is devoted to small grain and feed crops with about ten acres set aside for cotton. Mr. Williams finishes a car load of beef cattle each winter. In doing this, he grows all the coarse roughages reeded for the animals but buys cot ton seed meal. He has observed a steady increase in the fertility of his land each year to the point that his acre yields are doubled now over what they were when he began his present program.” Heat and Flies Affect Milk Flow -d'he month of July brings with it a number of problems for the North Carolina dairyman and he must be prepared to protect his cows from the effects of heat, flies and short pasture. “Cows that are continually an noyed by heat and flies will not pro duce as much milk as those which do not suffer from these two mid-sum mer ailments,” says John A. Arey, dairy extension specialist at State College.’’ In the first place, an ample supply of shade and water should be in every pasture. When it comes to protection from flies, the best thing to do is to rid the premises of the breeding places of these pests. The stalls and manure pit should be cleaned at least once each week and when practical it is best to haul the manure directly from the cow barn to the field each day. Certainly no ac cumulation of litter or garbage should be allowed to be about the dairy. It is impossible to destroy ail flies in the larvae stage, therefore poisons, traps and sprays must be used. There are several good fly sprays which are effective in keeping flies off the cows.” Arey points out further that pas tures begin to deteriorate in the sum mer. Usually in July, the grass be gins to be short and tough as a re sult of dry weather. It contains less food value than earlier in the season and temporary grazing crops are needed. If a dairyman does not have these temporary grazing crops, it is a wise plan to feed some silage, to increase the grain feed and to raise its protein content that the milk flow might be maintained. There is no need for the highly bred dairy animal to suffer in sum mer, if given the proper care. Plenty of fresh water, sufficient shade, pro tection from flies, and supplemen tary feeding will allow the cows to go along in normal production. Arey says. Two pure bred Guernsey sires were purchased by Burke county dairymen from the breeding herd at Quail Roost Farm last month.

The Stability of Our Times WE ARE sometimes prone to think that the problems we must face are peculiar to us as individuals or as nations, or to our generation; while, as a matter of fact, the temptations that come to any one individual are common to mankind; and the problems of our age have rec-rred in differing forms throughout all history. The Bible is replete with stories of how those who trusted in God worked out the same problems which confront us, and this is one way in which the Bible has served to comfort mankind. There is comfort in it now for those who are disturbed over the present apparent overturning of social, eco nomic, and governmental conditions, and who believe the world to be iu such a state of upheaval that they have come to wonder if there is any thing fixed and stable. Isaiah, seeing the need of the peo ple’s deliverance from evil, gave the assurance, “And wisdom and knowl edge shall be the stability of thy times.” The Preacher, considering it, arrived at the consolatory conclusion, "I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever; nothing can De put to it, nor any thing taken from it." Oyer and over again the Scrip tures assure us that all the good and all the true will endure forever, that what has been established by God is forever stable. Since God's law is fixed and permanent, we have no cause to fear that in this present world-wide upheaval of old traditions we can possibly lose anything that is good and real. Progress does not create evil, but it does tend to make hidden evil evi dent; to bring it to the light so that it can be seen for what it claims to be and is not, and thus destroyed. Looking back, perhaps in our own individual lives, and certainly in more recent world history, we can realize that the times when we seemed to have the greatest sense of material peace and satisfaction were not neces sarily the times when we were mak ing most progress spiritually.- In fact, the very opposite might be said to be the case. The situation may be likened to the cleaning of a neglected room. A considerable amount of dust may be stirred up in the process, but it is merely being brought to the surface so that it can be swept away. So in the present world-wide experience a great deal of that which is wrong is being brought to the light In order that it may be seen and destroyed. Instead, then, of regretting that we are faced with these problems, we can rejoice in progress. We can be glad that our present time is so pe culiarly awake and active. Naturally, if we allow our attention to center on the impurities thus brought to the surface—on the fear, greed, Injustice, and strife which have become so evi dent—we may become appalled and disheartened; but if we look above the seething surface we shall see clarified, purified conditions being crystallized in thought. In commenting on the words of God as recorded in Isaiah, "I make peace, and create evil,” Mary Baker Eddy has written on page 540 of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scrip tures”: "The prophet referred to di vine law as stirring up the belief in evil to its utmost, when bringing it to the surface and reducing it to its common denominator, nothingness. The muddy river-bed must be stirred In order to purify the stream.” Since the theories of men are never wholly true, and material systems never wholly right, they cannot re main fixed. Constant progression is required. The human mind, however, loves a comfortable rut, and objects to being shoved out of it. It objects to giving up its cherished theories and practices, no matter how eut grown they may be. "Let us alone” is always its plea. But progress de mands that we be not let alone. Instead of deploring the imper manency of material systems, now is the time to rejoice in the permanency of good, in the stability of God’s gov ernment, Mind's economics, Love’s currency. Now should we show forth more stability in all our ways—more stability of character, more stability of purpose, more steadfast reliance on divine Principle. We can stand firm in the truth we know, forever undisturbed by any erroneous testi mony from the material senses. Real izing that the all-powerful God is governing His entire creation, we can look for and behold His hand in ev erything that makes for good. Let us watch that we are not cling ing obstinately to beliefs outgrown, and are not prejudiced and set in our opinions. Turning always to divine Intelligence for direction, holding to God as the standard of perfection, we shall not become confused or alarmed. In the present medley of new theo ries, strange plans, and untried sys tems we shall be led to distinguish that which most nearly approaches Principle. What Gamaliel stated in the Sanhedrin still provides the com forting test, "If this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: but if it be of God, ye can not overthrow it.”—The Christian Science Monitor.

What should I do to control the pests? ANSWER: Grease the pigs with waste oil from the automobile. This will kill lice and other external para sites affecting the animals. How ever, do not expose the pigs to direct sunlight immediately after greasing them. QUESTION: Is it a good practice to plant cowpeas on tobacco land when the crop is "laid by?” ANSWER: It certainly is. The cow peas will improve the land if plowed under or may be used for a supply of legume hay. The tobacco will not be injured as the bottom leaves will be primed by the time the peas be gin full growth. Usually, however it is best to use the peas for soil improvement and the vines will not make much growth unless the tobac co ripens and is harvested early. Pro gressive tobacco growers are not afraid to improve their land nowa days because they have found that they can use more plants to the row or balance the fertilizer to take care of the increased fertility supplied by legumes. QUESTION: My bean vines are being destroyed by beetles. How can I combat them? ANSWER: Dust with magnesium arsenate. Mexican bean beetles have appeared in large numbers this sea son and will be very destructive to late snap beans unless control meas ures are used. The insects may be controlled with a magnesium arsen ate dust or spray or by using the new Rotenone dust. This latter is being recommended quite generally now because it is non-poisonous to humans but it is more expensive than the magnesium arsenate. If you have only a few rows of beans in the gar den, very good results may he se cured by picking the adult beetles each day. QUESTION: How should land be prepared for the first seeding of alfalfa? ANSWER: A well prepared seed bed is necessary for best results in growing alfalfa and for this reason the land should be plowed fairly deep and be throughly pulverized with a disc and harrow. The land should be allowed to stand at least a month nlicr this preparation in order that it may settle. Frequent harrowings during that period will give good re sults. As fall seeding is usually more satisfactory in the Piedmont and Coastal Plain sections the land should be prepared the last of July or early August so that it will be ;eady for seeding from September 1 to oOth. QUESTION: Wihen should cocker els be caponized for the Easter mar ket? ANSWER: Cockerels that are to go to market as capons next Easter should be caponized as early as pos sible in July. It takes from eight to eleven months to properly develop and finish a capon and those birds caponized in early July should be leady for the market if proper de velopment takes place. Ca>e should be taken that only healthy cockerels be selected as unhealthy birds either die from the operation or make poor development. QUESTION: How often should I dust my cotton to control boll weev il? • ANSWER: Where there is as much as a ten percent damage the dustings should not be over five days apart as long as this damage remains. How ever, weather conditions will govern, to a large extent, the actual number of dustings to be made. Frequent showers and cloudy weather increas es the damage and the application should be repeated if a heavy rain Timely Notes For Orchards, Gardens July suggestions for the orchard and garden, as recommended by Prof. M. E. Gardner, head of the hortic ultural department at N. C. State College, are: Make additional planting of snap beans. Spray beans where they are affected by the Mexican bean beetle. Magnesium arsenate is good. Rot enone or pyrethum dusts and spray are also effective, but somewhat more expensive. Spray the tomatoes with Bordeaux mixture to control leaf spot and blight. Plants for a fall crop of to matoes should be set in July. Late Irish potatoes should be planted dur ing the latter part of the month. Keep egg plants covered with Bor deaux mixture to control flea beet les and potato beetles. Cultivate all crops often enough to keep down weeds and prevent baking of the soil. A side dressing of some form of quickly available nitrogen will help vegetagles whose growth has been slow. , t After raspberries have been har vested, the old fruiting canes should be removed and burned. Frequent shallow cultivations should be con tinued until frost. Don’t let up in the fight against insects and diseases in the orchard and vineyard. Spray protection is needed to aid the development of perfect fruit. Spray thoroughly at the right time with the right faterials— it pays big dividends. Fruit trees and grape vines which do not have a dark green foliage are lacking. in vigor. A second applica tion of quickly available nitrogen will be helpful. AAA Wheat Benefits For Year Increased Washington, July 10.—A procla mation by Secretary Wallace today established the minimum 1935 wheat adjustment payments at spt least 33 cents a bushel compared to the 1934 minimum of 29 cents. This rate it was estimated, would give North Carolina growers $62,000. Payments for both years, the AAA said, are subject to slight deductions for county administration costs. Chester C. Davis, AAA administra tor, said the increase of four cents a bushel for the 1935 allotments rep resents additional income to co-oper ating wheat producers of approxi mately $14,000,000. Under the new schedules, Davis as serted, producers will receive adjust ment payments of at least $115,000,- 000 on the 1935 crop instead of SIOO,- 000,000 on the 29-cent basis. No change was made in the pro cessing tax rate of 30 cents a bushel. The AAA said the additional adjust ment payments were made possible by reserves accumulated from the tax on wheat produced by farmers not under allotment contracts. The in creased payment, it was said, will not result in any deficit in the wheat budget since available funds are suf ficient to cover the increase. Wife Finds Bruno ‘Cheerful’ Trenton, N. J., July 6.—Mrs. Bruno Richard Hauptmann visited her hus band in the death house at the New Jersey State prison here, taking ad vantage of the first of the month to see him. She is restricted to one visit a month. Hauptmann, under sentence of death for the murder of the Lind bergh baby, is “cheerful,” his wife said Their baby, Manfred, wants his father to come home “to make him a wagon,” she said.

HEAVNER Pigs to Be Fattened Need Some Pasture Pastures for fattening 1 igs seem to pliow the young animals to utilize l heir grain feed to better advantage after they are taken from the pas ture and plated in the dry lot for finishing. "\V. I have recently concluded an j interesting test with two groups of I’h to be fattened for market,” says j Earl H. Hostetler, in charge of live tik research for the North Caro lina Experiment Station. “In one t.toup ten pigs were full fed in a dry lot from the time of weaning until they reached a marketable weight of 2”fi pounds. In the other group, ten | igs were kept on pasture until they weighed 100 pounds and were then placed in the dry lot for finishing. Pigs in the first group made their ’.'.eight in 123 days while those in group tv.*o made their weight in 187 days. This time element is not so important for those animals to be sold in the spring but is important tor those to be sold in September inee the price breaks rapidly in the ater fall.” Hostetler observes, however, that the pigs in the dry lot made a profit ovei feed cost of $2.20 while those having the pasture made a profit j of $4.54, not counting the value of the pasture. If the cost of preparing j Hie pasture land and seeding is tak- ' in into consideration, the second group of pigs gave a prolit of only $2.44 above feed cost. However, the pigs in the second group, on pasture, gained mere rapid ly :n weight when put in the dry lot after making 100 pounds each in v eight. Then, too, it took only 312 | 1 ounds of feed to produce 100 pounds , of gain as compared with 371 pounds j | of feed per hundred pounds of gain j I for the animals kept on the dry lot | throughout the test. I The whole thing seems to sum up ■ that weaned pigs on pasture up until •he time they weigh 100 pounds will make rapid and profitable gains aft j er being taken from the pasture and full fed for finishing.
