Cold Fails To
Check Bug Pests
Insect Damage May Be Re
duced By Brushing And
Sunning In Winter
t/Don’t let cc(ld weather lull
you into a false sense of security
against household insects,” warns
J. O. Rowell, extension entomolo
gist at State College.
Before modern heating came
into general use, he said, houses
would get cold enough in winter
to check the damage of clothes
moths, carpet beetles, cockroach
es, silverfish, and other such
pests.
But now many homes are so
well heated in winter, and are
so well constructed that insects
keep up their activities the year
round. Hence, clothes in storage
must be protected in winter as
well as in summer.
Housewives can reduce insect
damage to clothes by brushing,
sunning, and airing them fre
quently during the winter. It is
also a good plan to clean all
cracks and corners of closets and
storage rooms.
Wool sweaters and other gar
ments that are even slightly
soiled are particularly appetizing
to moths. Clothes that are going
to be left hanging up very long
at a time should be cleaned and
packed in moth-proof containers.
Naphthalene or paradichloroi
benzene flakes give added pro
tection to clothes in storage.
Cleanliness is a good protect
ion not only against clothes
moths and carpet beetles, Row

kitchen insects.
The small, grayish, scale
covered insects known as silver
fish thrive in damp, warm
basements, but often do much
damage in other parts of the

Soybeans Make
Good Grazing
For Dairy Cattle
Will Grow Well In Sandy
Soils; May Be Used In
Rotation.
Soybelqns will well in
sandy soils and provide late sum
mer grazing for dairy cattle in
Eastern North Carolina, said A.
C. Kimrey, extension dairy
specialist at State College in tel
ling of a demonstration conduct
ed in Dare County this summer.
Mrs. R. Bruce Etheridge, of
Manteo, and B. A. Williams, of
Wanchese, conducted the experi
ment by growing the soybeans in
narrow rows, and having several
fields for the cows to graze in
rotation.
Williams planted two fields of
about three acres each, and let
the cows graze in one and then
the other. He would leave them
in one field until they had most
of the leaves off, but not long
enough for them to graze too
close to the stalks.
Then while the cows were
shifted to the other field, the
first field would grow out ano
ther crop of foliage. By thus alter
nating the fields, Williams got
three grazings off each, and cut
his feed bill in half. The cows
also increased their milk pro
duction, he told County Agent
C. W. Overman.
Mrs. Etheridge had several
acres which were treated in the
same manner, and she too got an
increase in milk production while
cutting her feed costs. She also
plans to provide plenty of graz
ing for her herd this fall and
winter by seeding approximately
10 acres to vetch and small grain.
Kimrey said he is especially
pleased with the results of the
experiment, for one of the prob
lems confronting Eastern North
Carolina farmers is providing
adequate good grazing.

Experiment Station
Requests Money
Ror More Research
General Assembly Will Be
Asked To Increase Approp
riation
An increasing demand for re
search work will prompt the
JNoi*t!h Carolina Experiment
Station to ask the General As
sembly for an increase of $82,-
735 yearly for the next biennium,
said Dr. I. O. Schaub of State
Cojleige, acting director qf the
Station.
At the present time, the in
come of the Experiment Station
from State sources amounts to
$45,600. Dr. Schaub explained
that $5,000 came from the gener
al fund for special apple re
search, $26,350 from the agri
cultural fund, and $14,200 from
miscellaneous receipts.
If the increase is granted, it
will -provide the necessary off
set to meet the $128,285 in Feder
al funds authorized under the
Bankhead-Jones Act.
The request calls for an ad
ditional $5,000 for apple research
so that the work might be spread
more evenly over the State and
take care of problems other than
diseases. Peach research would
be appropriated $15,000 for the
study of insects and disease con
trol, fertilization, soil building,
and other problems in connection
with the production and market
ing of this fruit.
The 1937 General Asscjmhly
provided for a peanut farm but
did not appropriate funds for
necessary expenditures and the
employment of workers. It is
proposed to allocate SIO,OOO for
special peanut research.
Bulbs and flowers, because of
their increasing importance,
would be allowed SIO,OOO. Beef
cattle and sheep would be ap
propriated $15,000 for research
work, especially in the mountain
territory. -
Inadequate research with ve
getables would be remedied to a
certain extent by the $12,000 ap
propriation asked for. Soil test
ing work would get $15,000.
