WALL TILE ?life . ^?|ywr.r.|jr | j?U8on ixKaciwcic Don't Bum Woods To Kill Weevils Thinking of burning over your , woods to kill out the boll weevil? Don't do it! If you do, you'll destroy val uable timber needlessly. And you probably won't kill many weevils. Ross S. Douglass of Clinton, district forestry specialist for the State College Extension Ser vice, says boll weevils hibernate in many places where they can't be killed by burning. Many do over-winter In surface woods trash, but more than three-four ths of these locate within 50 feet of the wood's edges. Practi cally none are found at distan ces greater than 150 feet from the edges. Thus, says, Douglas, when a farmer burns larger areas of woods to kill this cotton pest, he's "cutting off his nose to spite his face.** The specialist says burning woods damages the timber and kills the undergrowth and seed lings. It may lead to soil eros ion, and it often is bad for wild life. Then too, woods fires often get out of control^ and larger areas are burned than Intended. Even if the burning is done successfully, large numbers of weevils will survive and be ready to start an Infestation next q>ring. And if weather conditions are faorable during June and July for weevil development, control measures will be needed anyway. Douglass says it's wiser for a farmer to encourage the growth of young timber and to aystemat ically cut and sell this in-order to purchase dusting machines and Insecticides than destroy the timber by burning. Entomolo gists report .that more weevils can be killed by destroying cot ton stalks in the fall than by the dangerous practice of burning woods. Comity Agent Has lob For lip Mi does it feel to'flltfjMk same Job, in the same place, for . Jbmtp' Wi Cameron of Wadesboro, who has feigttf a county agent longer than any other man in North Carolina. - ? --Cameron in Ansorr on October 33, 1911, al ter hv^Viii'tinH qoMI'W the position two years previously young. He still holds the Job. Starting at 940 per month and working three days per week for six months in the year, Cameron intended to oerve as county a gent for only four years. He thought it would be good exper ience. Today, he says, the work has become almost my very life.'" In 1911, the veteran agent re calls, the entire staff of the State College Extension Sercice con sisted of only 35 persons. Now the list exceeds 800. Speaking of his work with oth er extension personnel, Cameron says: "During this time we have had many wonderful experiences, some not so pleasant and these have helped us work much hard er, made us stronger and more capable of handling other prob lems. Many things were, done by main strength and awkwardness but -there were other phases of the work which have been verf pleasant and of all the agencies there is none equal to the Ex tension Service. The county a gent has the greatest oportunity of all." He pays tribute to Dr. I. O. Schaub, former extension direc tor, as a man who has 'meant much to me and the many other workers and thousands of people in North Carolina." Fnlton Advanced In Rating James Oren Fulton, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. Palmer D. Ful ton of 400 East King street. Kings .Mountain, N.

Byerly, Field Rep. Gastonia Social Secuxltr Office (A ol the Social Secur ity Administration U la Xing* Moun tain on *ach fit?t and third Wodn** dor* at JO a. m. at City Hall.) "I will bring in ijiy social se curity card, tomorrow." "I have lost my social security card tout know my number." ?'I have my number copied down on this piece of paper." Reliance on such statements by employers causes more trou ble than anything else connected with the keeping of correct so cial security records for their employees. This week our office received from the Central Ac counting Office of Social Securi ty 65 letters requesting correct information on 180 employees who had made one or more of these statements. Wages reported by employers on their quarterly social security tax returns are posted to the em ployee's individual wage record by machines. If the name and the social securfjy number do not agree, then it becomfe necessary to re-contact the employer for the correct acount number be fore the worker's wages can >be posted to his credit. This extra work adds materially to the cost of keeping the records for the employer who makes an incor rect or incomplete tax return. Employers could save time and money not only for themselves but also for the government by reporting ??.ch worker's name and social security acount num ber exactly as they appear on the worker's social security card, card. Workers are urged to show their employers their social se curity cards when they go to work and not guess at their ac count numbers. If an employee changes the spelling of his name or a wo man worker marries, the social security office will issue another card bearing the same number but the new name. Applications for corrected social security ac count number cards should be obtained from your local post-, office and mailed to the Gastonia Social Security Office, Post-Of fice Building, Gastonia, N. C. rea. Fulton has spent 11 months in Korean waters since the begin ning of hostilities. He entered the Naval service July 19, 1948, and received his recruit training at the U. S. Na val Training Center, San Diego. 4-H'ers Complete Shows. Sales North Carolina 4-H Club mem bers >Have just completed the most successful series of county poultry and sales they have ev poultry shows and sales they have ever held, according to poul try specialists for the State Col lege Extension Service. Sixty-five shows were held in 61 counties, and an average price of $2331 per bird was paid for the j 7,932 birds exhibited and sold. ; This was 49 cents per bird high- j er than the average of the 53 shows held in 1950. Edgecombe County led in pri- j ces paid for pullets, with an av- ' erage of $3.87 per bird. New Han over was second with $3.62 and Chatham third with $3.47. All the pullets were Judged un der the Danish system. Ribbons awarded included 330 blues, 163 re-d, and 193 whites. This, indica ted considerably bettery quality than last year. 'Mortality rate among the 66, 639 pullets started this year was 8.7 per cent, or 2.50 per cent low er than in 1950. About 55 per cent of the pullets were in production at show time, compared with 39 percent last year. Of the 65 projects conducted this year, 54 were sponsored by Sears Foundation, Inc., seven by Farmers Federation of Asheville and four by local sources.' , Each club member belonging to a poultry chain was given a bout 100 certified, pullorum clean pullets, in February or March. Six months later each boy or girl selected a pen of birds, usually 12 in number, to enter in the county show. After judg ing, the birds were sold to ob tain proceeds for next year's pro jects. . ? ? .. . Layers should have mash a vailable all of the time in feeders that prevent waste of feed. Fresh mash should be added at least once aday. For every 100 hens there should be 15 feet of feeder that_ permits the birds to eat from both sides. f-:"" rnmaMmMtJF- i \ SERVING IN KOREA ? Pvt.

"If you can't st" where the shot is going for the full range, don't shoot!" Other precautions which all hunters should observe, says Mr. Claflp are as follows: When entering automobile, home, or camp, either empty the gun or open the breech. Always be sure the barrel and breech are clear of obstructions. Always carry your gun so you can control the direction of the muzzle. Be sure of your target before pulling the trigger. I Never point a gun at anything you do not intend to shoot. Never leave your gun unat tended unless you unload it first. Never climb a tree or a fence with a loaded kuh."
