PLANT DISEASES MAY BE CURBED DURING WINTER Much Important Work Os This Nature May Be Done In Cold Months. Raleigh, Dec. 14.—Contrary to popular opinion, a large amount of highly effective work can be done during the winter months to control plant diseases, says Dr. Luther Shaw, Extension plant pathologist of State College. This is particularly true of fruit trees which are normally pruned dur ing the winter period, he stated. The winter carry-over of many diseases of apples, including scrub, bitter rot, blotch, and fire blight can be greatly reduced by systematic pruning of the trees, using the latest improved meth ods and taking special precautions to prune out as much dead wood as possible, Dr. Shaw continued. An apple tree pruned so as to permit good light and ventila tion is rendered less vulnerable to attack by disease-producing organisms, and can be more tho roughly sprayed and consequent ly better protected from the organisms than a tree with thick growth. Destruction of diseased leaves and fruit on the ground by discing, plowing, or other means, is also highly desirable. The plant pathologist pointed out that the same practices are equally effective when applied to peaches, pears, grapes, and small fruits such as raspberries, black berries, and dewberries. It is especially important to destroy the dried or mummified peaches which were infected with brown ret the previous season and left hanging on the tree or on the ground under the tree, he said. The brown rot parasite spends the winter in their dried fruits. Dr. Shaw offers to send inter ested orchardists the latest avail able bulletins on plant disease control upon request to the Agri cultural Editor at State College, Raleigh. u Film Acting Is Easy For Sandy Thanks for making me a movie star! Os course baby Sandy did use those exact words to tell Uni- 1 versal officials how happy she was to have the opportunity [ which catapulted her to world fame. But she expressed her ap preciation in a much more prac tical way. Without a single rehearsal, Sandy made her first scene good in a single “take” during the in itial day’s shcoting on “Little Ac cident,” in which Sandy co-stars with Hugh Herbert beginning to day at the Dolly Madison theatre. Herbert rehearsed the action, which took place in a newspaper office where Sandy is abandoned by her father, and the baby was placed in position just before the cameras turned. “We could never have dene it better if we shot the scene a doz en times,” Director Charles La mont happily declared to Florence Rice, Richard Carlson and Joy Hodges, who play featured roles.

BEE RETAILERS BEING WATCHED BY COMMITTEE Eight Dealers Who Violate Laws Required To Close Establishments. Raleigh, Dec., 14.—The beer in dustry’s “clean up or close up” campaign in North Carolina re sulted in the revocation of eight retailers’ licenses last week and action against eight other dealers this week. j Edgar H. Bain of Goldsboro, State Director of the Brewers and North Carolina Beer Distributors Committee, announced today that petitions were Tiled with the Alamance, Burke, and Rowan county boards of commissioners this week requesting the revoca tion of the retail beer licenses of eight dealers. The petitions were based on alleged liquor law viol ations by the retailers.
