KEEP FIGHTING AGAINST INSECTS Pays Farmer to Continue Dusting For Weevil Control After Squares Are Gone. When there are no squares on cotton plants, boll weevils will at tack the cotton bolls. Hendq, it will pay farmers to con tinue dusting for weevil control after the squares are gone, said C. PERSON COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO, ft. C. REYNOLDSPLAYS REPORTER’S ROLE FOR SECOND TIME Dolly Madison Wednesday, August 19th. Craig Reynolds, young Warner Bros, actor who is now playing his first leading role in films in the mystery drama, “Jailbreak,” which comes to the Dolly Madison Theatre on Wednesday, began his profes sional career several years ago by playing the part of a reporter in the legitimate stage show “Spring Song.” In his current picture, he is again enacting the role of a star reporter I assigned to cover mysterious mur ders at a state prison. Reynolds has done a lot of odd jobs in the acting profession since his first appearance in “Spring Song.” Under his real name of Hugh Enfield, he appeared in many legitimate plays, his most promi nent stage role being in “Coquette,” opposite Mary Pickford. For Warner Bros, he has played supporting roles. “Jailbreak,” is a baffling, mys tery drama in which the killings take place under the vejry nose of the warden and guards within pris on walls. Besides Reynolds the cast includes June Travis, Barton Mac- Lane, Richard Puroall, Addison Richards, George E. Stone. Eddie Acuff, Joseph King and .Joseph Crehan. The picture was directed by Nick Grinde from the screen play by Robert Andrews and Joe Huff man, based on the story by Jona than Finn. H. Brannon, extension entomolo gist at State College. The dry weather did not remove the boll weevil from North Caro lina cotton fields, he added, and dusting should be repeated as often as necessary in infested areas. He also pointed out that tobacco growers should kill, cut, or plow under tobacco stalks as soon as harvesting is finished. This will kill thousands of insects that would otherwise survive the winter. As soon as beans have been har vested, the plants should be plow ed at least six inches under the ground as an aid in controlling Mexican bean beetles. However, this practice will not take the place of poisoning. Cotton growers should maintain a careful lookout for cotton leaf worms. Once they get into a field, they quickly eat thq leaves off the plants. Dusting with calcium arse nate, the same as for boll weevil control, will keep down these worms. at Horn worms are beginning "to damage tobacco seriously in some sections, Brannon stated. Since to bacco is late this year, it is unusual ly susceptible to attack by horn worms. Dust with arsenate of lead. Rotenone will not control this pest.

FARM QUESTIONS ANSWERED Question: Should hens be carried through a moult on grain rations alone? Answer: Grain in itself is not a balanced diet and for that reason the birds should have mash before them at all times. While the moult ing liqn is not laying 'it is replen ishing worn out tissues and build ing new feathers and these func tions require a balanced diet if the bird is to accomplish these results in a minimum time. Feed a heavy grain ration by all means, but keep mash before them at all times for bqst results. Question: Should alfalfa be seed ed in the fall or spring? Answer: Fall seeding is usually more satisfactory especially in the Piedmont and Coastal Plain sec tions and the lower elevations in the Mountain region. Weeds and grass do not compete with the young alfalfa plants in the fall and they aitq well established by the time grass starts in the spring. When seeded in the lower eleva tions of the Mountain region, alfal fa should be put in between Au gust 1 and 15 with 15 day intervals between that and the seeding dates for Upper Piedmont and the lower Piedmont and Coastal Plains. Question: Is there any fertilizing value in tobacco stalks when cut and turned under in the field? Ansvjer: There is a certain amount of potash in the stalks, but the greatest value in turning un der the cut stalks is insect control. The cutting and turn-under should be done immediately after the crop is harvested. Plowing under the stalks also protects the land from leaching and the decaying material adds humus to the soil. Aside from any fertilizing value the stalks should be cut and plowed under for insect control and soil conservation immediately after harvest. o Question: Do you recommend the Austrian Winter pea for soil im provement in North Carolina? Answer: Yes. The winter pea was first grown in this state about eight years ago and is increasing in popularity each year.

Question: When should hairy vetch be planted for best results? Answer: Vetch may be sown from August 15th to December 1 but September planting usually gives best results. The crop will grow on practically all soils in North Carolina from heavy clays to coarse sands but thq soil must be inoculated. When used for hay, vetch should be planted with oats, barley or wheat. For soil improve ment, it is often planted with' rye. Use about 25 pounds of vetch seed to the acre. o ; County supervisors and local supervisors for checking farmers’ compliance in the soil-improvement program have been selected and trained in a number of counties over the State. ft »
