FARM
QUESTIONS I
ANSWERED
QUESTION: How often should
tobacco be primed to insure a qual
ity leaf?
ANSWER: This depends upon the
maturity of the leaves and seasonal
conditions, but usually the plants
should be primed at least once a
week during normal seasons. Only i
uniform, ripe, well-developed leaves !
should be primed. Begin the har- i
vest as soon as the bottom leaves
turn yellow. The first leaves can be
pulled a little greener, if the leaf
is matured, than at any other prim
ing. A uniformity in pulling and
handling tobacco will add as much
to the quality as any other one fac
tor. Precautions should therefore be
taken not to bruise the leaves in
handling.
QUESTION: When should cock
erels be caponized for the early
market?
ANSWER: As it usually takes
from eight to eleven months to
properly develop and finish a capon,
the birds should be caponized from
mid-June until the first of August
so as to reach the national market
between January first and March
first. Vigorous birds that have prop
* er care and feed will develop in a
shorter time. Caponizing at this time
will also take late-hatched cocker
els off the market when broiler
prices are usually low. Birds from
one and one-half to two pounds in
weight may be used with the small
er birds having a greater chance
for a complete operation and devel
opment.

Prosecution plans to ascertain

merging the can in cold water so that
the entire contents are below the
surface of the water. Stir occasion
ally to hasten cooling and keep the
container in cold water until ready
for market. DO NOT add warm
cream to the cold cream. If this is
done in sufficient quantity, the
temperature of the cold cream will
be raised and the bacterial action
stimulated which will endanger the
quality of the entire batch.

The indictments were returned by
the grand jury 10 minutes after a
40-minute hearing at which the
principal witness was Mrs. Ethel
Kudner, for whom, Irwin said, his
homicidal “love-hate” led him to
kill three persons who accidentally
crossed his murder bound path—her
sister, her mother and a lodger.
After a sound sleep and several
full meals, Irwin was taken from
the Tombs prison to general ses

CALDWELL HAS A
NEW FARM BLDG.
More Than 1,000 People Gather
In Lenoir To Celebrate
Opening
More than 1,000 citizens of Cald
well county gathered in Lenoir,
Saturday, June 26, to celebrate, the
opening of ths modern, new agricul
tural building dedicated to the ser
vices of the rural people of the
county.
Meeting in the county courthouse,
‘he people heard talks by Miss
Ruth Current, state agent in home
demonstration work: Dean I. O.
Schaub, director of extension at
State College, and Honorable R. A.
Doughton, congressman from that
district. Mr. Doughton presented the
building to the county on behalf of
the federal government and respor.-
; ses were made by farmers and others
active in the securing of the build
ing.
The new building is a modern,
three-story brick structure built by
the joint efforts of the county and
-the WPA. The basement houses the
home demonstration curb market,
.while the ground floor contains the
offices of the home and farm agents
and the meeting places of the farm
ers and the farm women. The third
floor houses the county library.
A feature of the dedicatory exer
cises was a mammoth picnic staged
on the grounds of Davenport Col
lege where citizens of Lenoir and
visitors were guests of the farm peo
ple. Three long tables laden with
choice food were used from which
to fill the plates of the hungry popu
lace. A fourth table was covered
with an assortment of pie, cake and
other sweets. Large tubs of iced tea
and other beverages were placed in
convenient intervals under the trees.
Much credit was given to county
agent O. R. Carrithers for his ef
forts to secure the building for the
county.

the living victim of the crime—
Joseph Gedeon, husband and fath

self a one-time suspect.
Should Irwin be sent to the elec
tric chair? Someone asked.
“Yes,” Gededn implied. “As fai;
as I know he was a nice boy, but
he has got to suffer for what he has
done. I wasn’t an enemy of his, but
he should get what he deserves.”

INSURANCE - Your only protection against hail
Article Taken From Tinges
Thursday, July Ist.
Person County was visited by a
terrific hailstorm Wednesday after
noon about one o’clock and from
all reports it looks like one entire
section of this county running from
Aliensville and down the Virgilina
road was hit. Crops were ripped to
shreds and even small tobacco plants
werg torn all to pieces. After the
storm had passed the ground was
literally covered with ice and in
some places it was covered one half
inch deep.
Many state that it was the worse
that they had ever seen at this time
of the year.
The damage to crops was great and
all reports are not yet in. Both corn
and tobacco crops suffered in a big
way.
This was the first hail of the sea
son and put fear into the hearts of
the farmers. It is one thing that they
cannot control and three minutes of
hail may run into a loss of thousands
of dollars.
Editorial from Times
July Ist
Hail, the farmer’s fear at .this
time of tlfe year visited Person
County! Wednesday. It wfas on(e
of the hardest hail storms for this
season that is remembered. Some
places were hard hit and as usual
the storm cut a path across one
section of the county. It is too late
to re-plant and farmers who were
hit can only look at the damage,
unless they had insurance.
ROTENONE DUST
FOR BEAN BEETLES
Sure Death ..To ..Beetles ..,But
Harmless To Human Beings
Mexican bean beetles are raiding
North Carolina’s gardens and truck
patches again this year.
But the invasion, can be stopped
with a counter-attack of rotenone
spray or dust, said J. O. Rowell, ex
tension entomologist at State Col
lege.
Although this material is sure
death to the beetles, he added, it is
harmless to human beings. Also, it
is comparatively inexpensive to use.
Wherever beetles are found on
bean plants, or egg clusters appear
or> the underside of the leaves, Ro
well said the growers should start
spraying or dusting with derris or
cube root containing rotenone.
To make a spray, use dust contain
ing 4 percent rotenone. Mix 1 1-2
pounds of dust with 50 gallons of
water, or 1 1-2 ounces of dust in
3 gallons of water if a smaller quan
tity is desired. * i
Spray the p tints thoroughly at
the rate of 90 to 100 gallons per
acre. To be effective, the spray
must reach the underside of the lea
ves.
Or if dusti|ng is Rarfeniad, use
finely ground derris or cube root
dust containing 3-4 of one percent
rotenone, making sure that the dust
settles on the under side of the lea
ves as well as the rest of the plant.
Apply dust at the rate of 15 to 20
pounds per acre.
Repeat the spraying or dusting
every few days until the beetles
have been eradicated, Rowell point
