PLANT BED INSECTS: Several weeks ago an article j was published in both of county papers giving a list of the more destructive insects attack ing tobacco plant beds and sug gesting methods of control. Re-' ports coming to the office at pre-j sent indicate that these insects are increasing under the weather conditions of the past ten days. We are therefore repeating the suggestions published recently.- j FLEA-BEETLES: j The flea-beetle, or “flea-bug”,; as most of us call this insect, is a leaf-chewing insect, and can therefore toe controlled by poi on applied to the leaf of a plant. For all leaf-chewing insects, we unhesitatingly recommend ROT ENONE. This is a dust that may be applied to any plant without fear or burning the leaves. It is not poisonous to human beings nor to animals. It is easy to ap ply. It is not expensive. GET A SUPPLY OF ROTENONE and ( keep it on hand to control flea-, beetles in the plant beds, bean beetles on string beans, butter beans and worms on cabbage. By buying in quantity you may be able to get it even cheaper than the regular retail price. MIDGE FLY LARVAE: The request often comes in “The flies are eating my plants. What can I do”? The farmer has seen swarms of flies under the plant-bed cloths, he has seen flies on the leaves of the plants, and he has seen the plants dying. Naturally, he feels that the flies are eating the plants. However, as a matter of fact, the fly does not eat the plant. The fly lays eggs in the soil. These eggs hatch out into tiny worms, or larvae, and these burrow around the roots of the small plants and the plants die. | In order to prevent flies from collecting under the plant bed cloths, scatter napthalene flakes ever the beds, under the cloths, a- 1 t I PRfCED port BUYERS OFLOW-PRtCED CARS L you'ij Ride, fl ‘buy” of fl V#/ A H * D^or ad , ‘ he year! fl t^P*o^n f m J**'**!* fl aajygag, /> **^Hr%f£? ym I JACKSON MOTOR COMPANY Roxboro, North Carolina PERSON COUNTY.

Chalk, commissioner of game and inland fisheries, said today. An act fixing a fine of SSO or jail term of 60 days, or both, for persons convicted of buying or selling quail was described by Chalk as “one of the most bene ficial laws enacted.” Heretofore it has been a mis demeanor to buy or sell quail, but no penalties were prescribed. Chalk said thousands of quail were killed and “birdleggers who are interested only in making some money from the quail they kill.” Among the other new measures and laws prohibiting the use of automatic shotguns in hunting quail, turkeys, grouse,, rabbits or squirrels—unless the guns are plugged so as to hold not more than three shells; and prohibit ing the shooting of birds while \ they are on the ground. “It has long been considered [ unsportsmanlike to shoot birds on the ground,” said Chalk, “but this is the first time this practice has definitely been made a violation of the law.” “Hello” Boys Talked Back When the 20th Century-Fox casting office got an order to se lect a number of young boys for \ the roles of telephone operators in Darryl F. Zanuck’s production of “The Story of Alexander Gra ham Bell,” they thought someone must have made a mistake. Here was a chance to cast a number of their loveliest stock girls as the well-known “hello girls” in support of Don Ameche, Loretta Young and Henry Fonda, who head the cast in this Cosmo politan production for 20th Cen tury-Fox. No one could figure out’ why boys were requested instead! of girls and a memo was sent out asking if there was not an error. The Research department final ly set casting officials straight with the information that Bell or iginally hired young boys as op erators. After a while, however, many subscribers to the new ser vice began to complain of the boys’ being impertinent and talk ing back to them so girls with true modesty and Victorian decorum) were hired to take their places.
