PERSON COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO, N. C. NC WORLD FAIR ATTENDANTS GET FIELD TRAINING Raleigh, N. C.—Eight intellig ent and personable young Tar Heels who are expected to greet five million visitors to ths North I Carolina exhibit at the World’s Fair will be experts in the sub jects of their state. That is the promise of the N. C. World’s Fair Commission, which has created the state’s exhibit. Rep. Bill Fenner of Rocky Mount, chairman of the commis sion, and Coleman Roberts of Charlotte, executive in charge of the exhibit, annonuced that the | four young men and four young j women who compose the exhi i bit personnel will enter a three- I weeks training period about | April 10 to equip them for their I six-months’ long job in New | York. The training will include a two weeks tour of the state when the personnel will acquaint them selves with the various sections, and the attractions and oppor tunies in each, so that they may intelligently answer the thous ands of questions which visitors will put to them. Several hotels and resorts have already invited the World’s Fair personnel to study their communities, and other sections will be visited as opportunity exists. The training trip is being made through the courtesy and hospitality of the various communities visited. Before starting the tour, the personnel selected will have two days of class work to ground them in the type of information to be sought, and they will also study the type of questions most fre quently asked in inquiries disect ed to the state. After the tour, three more days of class work will review and consolidate the information gained. Roberts said today that only educated and _ poised persons would be employed for the staff, and that as a result of the ex tensive training period he expect ed the state’s representatives to be the most- alert, best inform ed, and hospitable in the ground. o The average cost of electiifcity per kilowatt hour to the average residential users is two-thirds less now than it was fifteen years ago. o FOR NEWSPAPER SERVICE DIAL 4501 \ THE GREAT WALLENDAS \ a Combination that has thrilled millions all over the world. combination The GREAT WALLENDAS the premier high wire artists of the world . . . and the TOP Combination /JjjPf for more smoking pleasure is f Chesterfield {the can ’t-be-copied blend) The sun never sets on Chesterfield’s pop ularity because Chesterfield combines... -g *g blends together .. .the world’s best cigarette t ’ L n | tobaccos in away that’s different from any y 11 C 1C other cigarette. • ' ... the blend that can’t be copied When you try them you will know why ... the right combination of the Chesterfields give millions of men and world’s best cigarette tobaccos women more smoking pleasure ... why THEY SATISFY FARM QUESTIONS \NSWERED } m ■■■ *4% Question: Should any treat ment be given sweet potatoe plants before transplanting? Answer: Where soils are in fected with stem rot or wilt organism, the stem and roots of the plants should be dipped in a 20-20-50 Bordeaux mixture or dusted with a mixture composed of 25 percent monohydrated cop per sulphate and 75 percent lime just before planting. The scurf infected roots and stems should have a thorough' coating of sulphur immediately before transplanting. All treated plants should be set in moist but not water logged soil. Question: What is the best material for control of leaf spot and scorch in strawberries? i Answer: The best sprfey. at: present is a 4-4-50 Bordeaux mixture. The mixture calls for four pounds of copper sulphate (bluestone) and four pounds of chemically hydrated lime to 50 gallons of water. Smaller or larger amounts should be pre pared in the same proportions. Disolve the copper sulphate in one-third of the water, using a wooden, earthenware, or copper container. The lime is put in the remaining water and, when the two are prepared, pour the cop per sulphate solution into the j lime suspension. The two should be stirred constantly while mix ing. Start spraying about the time plants resume active growth and continue until they asume relative dormacy. ————o According to the Federal De partment of Commerce the Unit A Decade Os Service - - V<\ a ' 4 - Congratulations To The Times On this 10th.
