THE YANCEY RECORD THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 1964 Garden Time BY M. E. GARDNER N. C. State 1 i “ Will you please give instruct- t ions for fumigating soils in the ( vegetable garden and flower beds. | I have heard aout it but have | never tried it.’’ Soil fumigation is coming more into the production picture and is being employed by many home owners to control nematodes, soil-borne diseases and weeds. Perhaps the most important be nefit derived from this treatment is the control of nematodes be cause they not only themselves inhibit normal plant growth, but they also leave open wound in roots which permit easy invasion of soil borne diseases. Perhaps the best soil fumigant is methyl bromide, it is very ef fective and used extensively in tuoacco beds. The material comes in 0..e i-uund cans and should be atyi-eJ at the rate of two pounds pti 100 square feet of soil area. It is sold under such trade names as Doiw-MC-2, Pestmaster and Bedfume. You will need a gas-tight cover, plastic covers, suitable for this puipose, are available. It is ne cessary to ail the cover to con tain the gas, otherwise the treat ment will not be effective.

Here are the steps: Loosen the soil well to a depth of about eight Inches. Distribute sacks fitted with straw, or use soft drink bottles, over the area to hold the cover above the soil. This will give better gas pene tration. If bottles are used, plunge the neck end in the soil. Don’t use anything that might puncture the plastic cover. Seal the cover by covering the edges with soil. Special applicators for releasing the gas are needed: also, plastic tubing tubing to direct the gas under the cover. These will be available from your supplier of methyl bromide. The tubes are remov'd after the gas is released. Carefully follow the instruct ions provided by the manufact urers when applying the gas. (Polders are usually furnished with the material. Applications should be made when the tempera ture is above 60 degrees and the cover should remain over the treated area !for 24 hours. Wait about three days, preferably a , week, after the cover is re TWO MINUTES WITH THE BIBLE BY CORNELIUS R. STAM PRES. BEREAN BIBLE SOCIETY CHICAGO 35, ILLINOIS The city of Chicago recently ! witnessed one of the most daring robberies in recent years. Right in the heart of the Loop cn busy State Street, while all the stores were open for business, two masked robbers entered Le bolt’s Jewelry Store. One .of them did not even carry a wea pon, but the other had a revolver in each hand, so while he kept the two customers and eight em ployees under control, the other (went to the window and scooped up more than- $250,000.00 worth of diamonds and jewelry. And all this with an audience looking in at the window. Roy Lloyd, Lebolt’s “diamond man,” said: "It was a wierd dream. Here I was watching the man shovel diamonds into his and at the same time I could see people out on State • Street, watching him do it.” Something like this seems al moved befi.e planting. If you r: e not prepared to treat relatively large areas, I would suggest that you treat the soil in your vegetable garden where you plan to set tomato plants. This crop seems to "be more of a problem in many sods due to nematodes and certain sou . borne diseases. most unbelieveable, but actually it is not, in the light of our times for this is no isolated incident. Never has morality been at so low an ebb among nations and individuals—and never has crime rate been so high. This should cause thinking people to recall what the Bible says about the dosing days of the age of grace in which we live. II Tim. 3:1-5: “This know also', that in the last days perilous times shall come. “For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boast ers, proud, blasphemers, dis obeident to parents, unthankful, unholy. “Without natural affection, tnucebreakers, .false accusers, in continent, fierce, despisers of these that ale good. “Traitors, heady, lovers' of pleasures more than lovers of God; “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof. . .” Doesn’t this sound very much like the times in which we live? And should it not cause us to consider whether “the dispensat ion of the grace of God” might , not be drawing to a dose? At this moment God is still sending forth His ambassadors to pro blaim salvation by grace, through faith in Christy who! died for our sins, but more than ever should we heed the exhortation of St. Paul: “Recieve not the grace of God in vain. . . .Behold, NOW is the accepted time; behold, NOW is the day of salvation” (IT Cor. 6:1,2). : sv : tet’AGo' ymhtfoikuf -gjjSkf-jdr BV 808 BREWSTER Outdoor Editor, g —, Mercury dutboardt J® Trolling’s Line Os Trouble. I Trolling can cause even the) 'best behaved of fishing lines tO| ■act like a teen-ager doing the; ‘l twist. ’| I To prevent twisting and; foaled lines caused by trolling, | .Mercury outboards' fishing ex-! i |>erts offer a few ideas that! J e It’s important, they say, to* 1 f realize that nearly all lures wilt revolve while being towed un derwater. But, they do not all turn in the same direction. Before chucking a lure over the transom, check its natural ; direction of spin by dragging j the plug or piece of hardware , I alongside for a • few seconds. I 'Do this with several, different ; lures. When the time comes to jsnap on a new one, select a • model that revolves in the op posite direction. ; Swivels should always be fused between lines and lure. , They help some, but do not pre sent twist. I Keels or keel sinkers rigged ahead of the plug are far more effective in eliminating prob lems. Keels have another value that is seldom recognized. Bright metal styles often call atten tion to the trailing bait or lure and result in a greater number of strikes. They also reduce short striking incidents, parti cularly when long eels or pork rinds are used. At intervals, advise the Mer cury folks, remove the plug and allow the line to run free for a. few minutes. Do this again! while cruising back to the dock! at day’s end. .
