Increased In Past Several Months Raleigh, June 13.—A continu ous monthly) increase in the num ber of checks issued to eligible unemployed workers in North North Carolina has 'been shown from November, 1939, through May, 1940, in records of the Cen tral Office of the State Unem ployment Compensation Commis sion, Chairman Charles G. Powell announces. In that six months period the increases in number of checks was from 32,673 in November, an all-time low, to 87,689 in May, the highest number reached since August, 1938, Mr. Powell said. The percentage increase from November to May waj 168. The number and percentage of increase over the 32,673 checks issued in November, 1939, each succeeding month is: December over November, 3,750 checks, or 11.5 per cent; January over De cember, 12,786 checks, or 31.1 per cent; February over January, 10,- 566 checks, or 21.5 per cent; March over February, 10,385 checks or 17.4 per cent; April over March, 12,835 checks, or 18.2 per cent; May over April 4,694 checks, or 5.7 per cent. The largest number of checks in any month was 160,650 in June, 1938 the sixth month after payments started the latter part of January, 1938. Subject to sea sonal or period variations, the number gradually dropped from that month to November, 1939, when the continuous monthly in crease started.

The reduction in the gradual increase from April to May in-' dicates a check in the amount of unemployment in the State, or that eligible unemployed work ers are exhausting their benefits,; but probably means some of both, Chairman Powell said. POISONS CONTROL TOBACCO INSECTS J. O. Rowell Urges Farm ers To Protcet This Year’s Crop. Protection of this year’s tobac co crop against preying insect enemies is being urged by J. O. Rowell, entomologist of the State College Extension Service. Various insecticides or poisons applied in a well-timed and per sistent program of defense will assure the leaf farmer of a bet ter crop, the State College man said. For instance, the flea beetle may be controlled with a mixture of paris green and arsenate of lead. One pound of paris green to five pounds of arsenate of lead, is the recommended propor tion. For small or newly-set plants, three pounds of this mixture will treat an acre. For half-grown or larger plants, four to six pounds will be necessary. Because of the i dense growth of tobacco and the necessity of applying the poison on the underside of the leaf, the mixture is most effective when dusted. Horn worms also are con trolled with this mixture. The best known control for bud worm, another common en emy of North Carolina’s No. 1 cash crop, is poisoned corn meal bait. When used on a large scale, one pound of arsenate of lead should be mixed with 50 pounds of corn meal. For smaller amoun ts, six heaping tablespoonfuls of the poison to one peck of meal is recommended. Applications should be made only in the morning when the tobacco buds are open, and ihe treatment should be repented every week until the crop is + op- j ped. One peck, or 12 pounds, is sufficient for one application per acre. A small pinch of the bait is dropped into each bud, Row ell pointed out. o Good Sheepmen Follow Good Yearly Program Growers who make the most money from their sheep and who receive top prices for their lambs and wool aren’t doing so by ac cident, says L. I. Case, extension animal husbandman of State Col lege. They have learned something about the many factors which contribute to growing a product in ready demand by the market. Chief among these factors are good breeding, feeding, and man agement practices. In breeding, die successful sheepman is careful to select shortleglged, compact, blocky rams rather than the long-leg ged, coarse, upstanding type. Then he ships to market each year his wether lambs and part of his ewe lambs but holds back the best ewe lambs for replacing old and poor-producing members of the flock. Good feeding, placed by many sheepmen ahead of good breed ing, is likewise highly important in the production of high grade market animals. Plenty of milk is probably the most important WHEN HE NEEDS MORE (V j H 3 ** PEEBLES DEPT.

Case said that many growers feed their lambs some grain in addition to the milk. This is often placed in a creep where the 1 lambs may help themselves with-! out being disturbed by the older sheep. In addition to good feeding and good breeding, there are a large number of approved man agement practices that the most successful sheepmen follow, Case said. One of the most important is a regular monthly drenching for the control of internal, para sites. Cooperative grading and sell ing under the supervision of State College Extension farm agents have also played an im portant part in improving thj quality of lambs offered for sale. o Big Farm Week Predicted By J.

In addition, one dele gate from each township commit tee will be present. This should assure at least 1,200 farmers in attendance at the convent’on. Ordinarily, from 1200 to 1,500 farm women register for the event. Plans for the week are now nearing completion, Goodman said. Subjects of interest to both men and women will be taken up during joint sessions of the two groups, while separate sessions will be held for other topics., In addition to the educational side of the program, a full sche dule of entertainment and rec reation have been planned for the delegates. Tours, contests, games, group singing, square dancing, and other lighter features will serve to enliven the program. As has been the custom for the past three years. Governor and Mrs. Clyde Hoey will appear on the Thursday, August 1, night program. Other than these two, there will be no speakers sche duled for the evening recreational periods. Rooms will be provided in State College dormitories, and meals will be served in the col lege cafeteria. Professional Cards S. F. NICK 4 *. JU.

State College is aiding in this program as its sac-j ilities permit and while th? Nation attempts to put idle men. money and factories to work to produce the needed munitions of war, the College Extension Scrv:- 1 ee is calling upon its county agents, specialists and o*her trained experts to foster the pro duction and conservation of nil kinds of food and feedstuffs. It is, of course, expected that the preparedness program will eventually make up for the loss of foreign markets for farm pro duce but as Secretary Wallace has pointed out, until the prepar edness program is sufficiently underway to have this effect, farmers should be careful that they are not the victims of war's 1 interference with world trade, j In other words, College officials believe that security for North Carolina farmers lies in the de-| finite adoption of a safe farming program and it is not yet too latej to plant additional food and feed crops to be saved for use on the 1 fpi | ii Wl Coca-Cola is pure, wholesome and delicious.
