Winter Does Nat End
War Against Insects
The severe cold weather of the
past few months did not bring a
cessation of hostilities in the war be
tween man and insects.
The brief truce is now over, said
C. H. Brannon, extension entomolo
gist at State College, and good farm
ers are getting ready to renew the
fight.
Although exceedingly cold temper
atures kill some insects, he said,
enough will survive the winter to se
riously damage the crops in the
spring and summer unless preventa
tive measures are taken.
The boll weevil can wreck havoc
with the cotton fields if weather con
ditions during the growing season are
favorable to its development.
Cotton growers should prepare
now for eevil control, he said. What
battle was ever won by waiting un
til the enemy appeared before start
ing to get ready for the conflict? he
queried.
He urged tobacco growers to watch
their plant beds carefully for signs
of flea beetle injury. When beetles
are found, apply poisons according
to recommendations of county farm
agents.
Horn worms are a continual source
of loss to tobacco growers, but ma
chines have been devised to aid in
their control. The same machine
can often be used in cotton fields too,
Brannon added.
Derris dust containing three
fourths of one percent roten-one is
the most effective poison against
Mexican Bean beetles, he stated, and
it is not poisonous to human beings.
Orchardists who have not yet ap
plied the winter scale spray should
complete the applications before it is
too late in the spring. Also get
ready to follow the spraying and
dusting schedules for spring and
summer.
Spraying calendars may be secured
free from the agricultural editor at
State College.

ion
Homewood Flirtatious, White and Black Pointer Bitch;
owned by H. M. Curry; Jr., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
AMONG all the bird dogs in America, Homewood

just a dog. She's a proud and proven champion a

like her but he's still just a dog.
And here's another field champion, Natural
Chilean Nitrate another one of Nature's rarest
masterpieces. Like the champion pointer, Natural
Chilean has that proud and priceless gift something
over and beyond mere nitrogen natural balance of
the many fertilizer elements the vital impurities
the Natural blend and balance that make a champion
That's the vital spark. That's why "Flirt" isn't just a
dog. That's why Natural Chilean isn't just a fertilizer.

FARMERS HAVE RIGHT IDEA
Stokes County farmers have decid
ed that 10 percent of the cultivated
acreage in the county should be re
tired from cultivation and that they
should make a 25 percent increase in
soil improving crops.
Inquiry is human; blind obedience,
brutual. Truth never loses by the
one, but often suffers by the other.
- v Smoother Fudge
Add a teaspoon of cornstarch to
each cup of sugar when making
fudge. - This makes it smoother and
creamier.
