THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFORD. N. CV FRIDAY.' MAY 21, 1937 PAGE THKESt r.s:i!::(no; r WHAT TAKING PLACE BY ' ' ' UNITED STATES " i.V ' r ' As Federal ' reports and . studies V dealing with national affairs during , the last few years are given to the . r Congress as a basis for considering i - -new government programs -and poli cies, ample evidence is found that -nrfh Carolina has an underlying v .Bility equaled by only a compara bly small number of states. Sup 1 of this statement is available in Jnes of Federal statistics and --TTidata regarding the state's industry, commerce and agriculture. They tell a graphic story of how well North Carolina weathered the storms of iv; the depression and how well the state is prepared to move forward during the fairer economic weather ahead. V Olie reason the state enjoys such a ssf?'r favorable position is because of the &:.. diversity of its agriculture and in- dustry. Farmers are not forced to V'.;. depend on a single commodity nor industrial workers on a single branch of industry. And along the seaboard 3 in the Piedmont region and in the "(" mountains are found many indica te tions that the economic stability in f North Carolina is well-founded. 5j - Naturally, the fine standing of 7 the state, reflected in the reports m and studies sent to Congress, is a " source of much gratification to the i ? members of the delegation in Con gress. It should also bring pride ,';3 to all citiziVs, particularly at this ;;: commencement season for schools and colleges, when so many of our younger generation prepare to face the problems of life, economic and ; social. :,. On numberous occasions, my col leagues in Congress who have visit ed North Carolina or passed through ; the state en route to and from other .' destinations, have been loud in their praise of the physical appearance of - !. the state. They have referred to the skyline of smoke belching from fac- ; v tory chimneys and the hum of busy machinery. They have referred to ; the"ll-j2ainted and well kept homes thatlinethe highways. They have ? referred to the. busy communities re ,i: fleeting the active - life of North " Carolinians all indicating that peo- pie are noticing the way in which our state is quietly going about solv .... ing its problems to the advantage of all citizens. , Hardly a day passes in Washing : ton that some member of Congress does not pass along to North Caro--y lina colleagues a favorable reaction ; ' to some activity within the state. As those who have their eyes on North Carolina come from every far-flung , :' section of the United States, here is indeed evidence '' that the people throughout the country are favorably attracted to the state. " ' - It has been said on many occasions that a steady flow of visitors to the state means new revenue for our . people without undermining our soil, . denuding our forests, depleting our mines or interfering with basic ' means of income. It is gratifying to 1 know that the state is preparing to , launch an aggressive program to in- i. crease the flow of visitors, many of . wnom will remain as residents. ,:- Many sections of the state have been developed by the capital of the peo ple who visited the state, became at tracted by its possibilities,-and have ; : become North Carolinians in ; spirit and in deed. These observations lead to one im portant conclusion. It is that North ; ,- Carolinians should find in 'the inte ; rest of others refreshing evidence of ', what their state ; offers.' Students should have full knowledge of the '. opportunities to be found. Tours rof ' the state for and by North Caroli- " mans , should be encouraged." ' The " 'fisherman at .Nag's Head should " know the woodsmen in the mountains and vice versa. In this way a great ) -' er degree of state pride, and civic consciousness will be developed and , v' the high standing of North Carolina among the. states will draw even more favorable attention-, - , - -- Vigorous Bee Colony . -. Ptcduces Much Honey 'i A strong, vigorous lee colony that has plenty of bees in the Bpring will be in good condition to gathef a great deal of honey this season. - C. I Sams, extension apiarist gt State College, urges all beekeepers ts check their, colonies ; to see 1f t" -y rve enough food, a good lay ' - ' rnd are free from disease.

' t , ( If any dead brood is louna, samp les of comb of two or three inches square, containing as much dead brood as possible, should be sent to the bee culture laboratory, , Bureau of Entomology, U S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. If the laboratory finds the trouble is European foul brood, young vigo rous Italian queens are resistant to this disease. But if the disease is American foul brood, Jhe colonies affected should be burned at once to keep the di sease from spreading, Sams pointed out. ': Bees in modern hives will produce far more honey than those in old box or gum hives, he added. BEECH SPRING CLUB MEETS The Beech Spring Home Demon stration club met at the school house Tuesday. Plans for the District meeting to be held in June were discussed and games were played. Miss Stella Rogerson won in the Irish potato race. Miss Gladys Hamrick won in the cracker contest. Sandwiches and ice tea were serv ed. Those, present were Mesdames W. J. Perry, D. J. Rogerson, C. W. Reed, Wayland Howell, Noah Felton, C. B. Staliings, Charlie Copeland, John Hill, Daniel Rogerson, Jarvis Fore hand, Eddie Boyce, Misses Stella Rogerson, Callie Staliings and Gladys Hamrick. Timely Questions On Farm Answered Question: What is the best time to apply nitrogen to corn and cot ton as a side dressing? Answer: Applications should be made to corn when it is about knee high and to cotton immediately after chopping. Much of the fertilizing value is lost when late applications are made. Apply the nitrogen as early as possible so as to get all the fertilizing value. Late applications may delay the maturity of cotton and make the crop more susceptible to boll weevil damage. With corn, late applications will increase the plant growth, but will not increase the yield of grain. Question: At what age should chicks be fed grain? Answer: This depends largely on the mash fed. If a combined start er and growing mash is used, the scratch feed should be started at the fourth week. Where a "20 per cent starter mash is used, the grain feed ing should begin from the sixth to the tenth day. There are, however, some "all mash" systems of feeding with which no scratch supplement is fed. Most commercial mash feed tags have directions for feeding on the back and thes directions should be carefully followed for best results. Question: How can I keep the terrapin bugs out of my garden? Answer: Applications of a Rot-enone-Talc dust containing one per cent of rotenone will give good con trol of this insect. Use sufficient dust to . cover the plants thoroughly and repeat every week as long as it is necessary for control. Applica tions should be made after every rain. A dust containing three-quar ters of one per cent of rotenone can also be. used, but this requires very liberal applications. Rotenone is not poisonous to humans. N. C. Unemployment Fund Over $4,500,000 North . Carolina's unemployment compenfjation" fund last week passed the . $4,600,000 "mark. This repre sents ' the . -contributions of about 5,500 employers, operating about 7,- 000 establishments, on nearly 500,- 000 employees. The fund is kept in tact and will all be used for paying compensation to workers who become unemployed ' through no fault of their own after next April 1. The 1936 payroll contribution is crawling up toward $3,000,000, having reach ed $2,970,813.65 last weekj The 1937 contributions passed the , $1 ,550,000 mark last week. j flyde. County Soybeans .

"The yield ranges from 10 to 20 bushels to the acre, depending not so much upon the variety as upon the farm where they are grown and the kind of cultivation given them. "The predominating variety is Mammoth Yellow, which is in good demand for seed and oil. The Otoo- tan is our best seller for seed, but it not used for oil. The Otootan is often grown in corn, or between the rows, cut out by hand and threshed. "Soybeans grown for seed are us ually planted early in the season, while those grown for oil may be planted later." Annual Co-op Meeting Local Farmers Attend A delegation of 10 Perquimans County farmers and farm women have returned from Raleigh where they attended the joint annual meet ing of the State's two largest farm cooperatives and heard from Con gressman Harold D. Cooley a stirr ing message, the theme of which was "Cooperation for farmers is the need of the hour." "I congratulate you as intelligent farmers upon having embraced the opportunity to combine your re sources to the end that you may by cooperative effort and activity ad vance the happiness of yourselves and your families," Mr. Cooley told the 2500 assembled members of the N. C. Cotton Growers Cooperative Association and the Farmers Coope rative Exchange.

"While you have acted with fore sight and wisdom." lie went on, "many of those who are engaged in the grajid vocation of larmins' have not yet been willing to join hands with you to the end that agriculture may be in a better position to cope with the large, powerful land effi cient organizations which have in the past subjected the farmer to cruel exploitation." He urged each mem ber to serve as a recruiting officer to get others to join in the coope rative movement. "No one today questions the right or the wisdom of collective bargain ing and cooperative effort in the buying, producing and selling aspects' of the farmer s business," he declar ed.
