CONTROL ARMY WORM
WITH DUST OR BAIT

There are a number of methods of
controlling the fall Army worm, now
damaging crops over much OF the
State, said c. H. Brannon, extension
entomologist at State College.
Dust calcium arsenate on crops not
burned by this material, he said; on
other crops such as corn, beans, and
peas, apply lead arsenate dust to
cover the plant thoroughly.
Small plants like alfalfa and crab
grass may be protected with appli-
cation of poisoned bait. This is espe-
cially recommended where the
worms have almost destroyed the
crop.
The bait can be made at home
with one pound of Paris green to so
pounds of wheat bran. Add two gal
Ions of molasses that have been thin
ned with water, and stir thoroughly.
Then pour in enough water to make
the bait crumbly, but not Soupy.
Fifty pounds of bait is enough for
five acres. Apply it broadcast in the
evenings, and do not allow poultry
or animals access to treated fields.
Smaller amounts of bait can be mix
ed in the same proportion.
If desired, two pounds of calcium
arsenate may be substituted for the
pound of Paris green in the bait,
Brannon continued.
When the worms are migrating,
they can be trapped by blowing a
deep furrow at right angles to their
course of advance. Shallow holes
dug at intervals in the furrow and
filled with gas oils or kerosene will
kill the worms.
Where it is not possible to pillow a
furrow, a thin line of coal tar placed
little distance ahead of the worms
will keep them from invading neigh
boring fields.

\ GROWS TREE SEEDLINGS
TO PLANT NEXT SEASON

Fifteen million trees, shrubs, and
vines are growing in the Soil Con-
servation Service nurseries at Polk
ton and Chapel Hill this year to sup
ply the needs during the next plant
ing season of the eight demonstra-
ton areas and 20 CCC camps doing
erosion control work in North Caro-
lima, according to L. B. Scott, Re-
gional Nurseryman of the Soil Con-
servation Service in the Southeast.
About $50 acres of land have been
leased for nursery purposes at Polk
ton. The nursery at Chapel Hill is 10
Gated on land belonging to the Uni
versity of North Carolina. Nearly
ITO acres of land are included in the
tract. Paintings consist mostly of
hardwoods and pine.
Seed planted in the spring was OBJ
tanned last fall by CCC enrolees,
who collected pine cones, locust
pods, and other hardwood seed.
At planting time last spring fine
seed beds were prepared in the
nursery, and the seed was treated to
hasten termination. Then the seeds
were planted and the seedlings were
watered, shaded, and protected from
rodents and birds during the first
few weeks. Seed beds were kept
free from weeds.
= If the season is conducive to rapid
growth, seedlings will be lifted this
fall and distributed to demonstra-
ton and camp areas for planting on
eroded land.
Trees produced by the Soil Con-
servation Service nurseries, says
Scott, are grown primarily to protect
land from erosion. Moreover, the
new forests in a few years will pro-
duce revenue on land formerly too
badly eroded to grow crops.

POULTRY

Proper attention to all classes of
poultry at this season is very inn
portant if best results are to be OBJ
tanned later. 4
Pullets that are to make our lay
ers this fall and winter should be
given good chance to develop into
well matured hens so that they will
lay persistently throughout the fall
and winter. If they are allowed free
range they will get good deal to
eat. But they will need additional
feed in the form of a scratch which
may consist of equal parts of corn
and wheat or mash which may be
made by mixing corn meal, shorts,
wheat bran, ground (ruberized) oats
and meat meal. If plenty of milk is
fed no meat meal need be included
in the mash.
If the pullets are confined in lot
then they should be supplied with
plenty of green feed and the mash
should be kept before them all the
time.

Question: Is there any way
that I can stop the autumn mott
in my early Matched pullets that
are now coming into heavy lay?
Answer: Pullets coming into heavy
lay at this time of the year will, in
all probability, go into short mott
ing period this fall ard there is no
definite program that guarantees the
birds from moltina The usual prac-
tice is to feed heavily on grain and
where there are signs of molting,
feed a wet mash. The birds should
be given all the mash they will clean
up in twenty minutes. Feed the mash
in the early afternoon. This practice
will oftentimes prevent mott and
will also shorten the noting period.
Question: How much silage
should / store to feed my dairy
herd through the winter?
Answer: This depends upon the
number of animals to be fed and to
a lesser extent upon the breed. The
average Jersey or Guernsey cow will
consume from 80 to 35 pounds of
silage a day. The Ayrshire or Hol-
stein will need from 40 to SO pounds
day. For a six months feeding
period from three to four and one
half tons of silage should be provid-
ed for each, mature animals in the
herd. To get definite figures for any
period of time multiply the figures
given for the particular breed by the
number of days you plan to feed and
the result will be the number of
pounds required.

~ I'D YOU ever think of turning
a closet into a bath room? A
new bath room unit that fits
O easily into any 5 by foot
room has just been introduced. 1t is
q regular bath room, complete with
tub. shower. lavatory. medicine chest
and toilet. and beautifully styled.
The tub and lavatory run together
In one piece, so that one can clutch
the broad fiat top of the lavatory for
support when stepping into the bath.
The shower juts out of the wall send
ing a spray into the middle of the
tub; one can shower without touch
ing either wet curtains or cold walls.
The tub of this unit bears no re-
semblance to the good old Saturday
night layout of American folk lore It
is much wider and slightly longer.
The bottom is fat, TO discourage slip
ping on porcelain inclines
But it's the lavatory that appeals to
women. 1t is actually, a dressing
table. This transformation is accom-
plished by eliminating the usual lava
tory pedestal. The bowl is supported,
instead, by side stands. leaving plenty
of knee space in the middle One can
sit down and see ones image in the
heavy plate mirror, which is the door
of the medicine chest, as usual. but is
placed lower than in older-style bath
rooms. Modern electric light backets
hang on either side of the mirror.
At one side is cupboard for stor-
ing makeup, powder, cleansing tissues
and even hand towels.
The unit comes only in two colors,
white or ivory. 1t can be put into
existing bath rooms with very little
building and piping alteration. The
company making it has several plans
for arranging the units. One of the
tricks for saving space is to tuck the
loot extension of the tub under the
top Of the lavatory fixture.
YOU could peer inside the walls
Of your house. you'd find between
the inner and the outer surface an
other layer Of wall technically called
'"sheathing." Most people don't ever

II you are building new house this
Spring. you want to pay some atten-
ton to ''Sheathing" There is a new
type put out by famous manufac-
turer, which is said to have four times

The new sheathing acts as insula-

top of a room is stale air, anyway.
and it's there a steady stream of
freshness is needed. Also. with this
arrangement, rain can't splash in on
your window sill.
The primary object of storm win
dows is to establish dead-air space
to prevent the conduction of heat or
cold But double windows are noise
deadeners. too. Sound glides along in
waves, much like heat or cold waves.
1t is stopped by window pane, but
the sound of the stoppage vibrates
through the glass and into the room.
If new barrier is set up it breaks
the sound waves still further. some
times entirely eliminates them.
You can't put new storm windows
of this sort on old frames, unfortu-
nately, for there must be provision
on your frames for the hanging of
the second pane of glass. But. whether
hung inside or outside, the second
wall of glass is a godsend for keeping
wind, cold, heat or noise outside your

boundaries from ocean to ocean. Each
step across this wide continent has
marked struggle-perhaps a battle
that has called forth courage on the
part OF those carrying the flag.
The victories of peace have often
been much greater than those of wars,
and have counted greatly in the making
of our country. 1t has surely required
as much courage to carry our flag in
peace as to carry it in war.
The white in our flag stands for
liberty.
The story is told that George Wash
ington once said of our flag, 1--WE take a
star from the heavens, red from the
mother country, separating it by white
stripes, thus showing that we have
separated from her and the white
stripes shall go down to posterity rep
resenting liberty" So we can see that
those who designed the flag intended
the white stripes to stand for liberty
Those white stripes mark our flag as
a symbol of the free-the land where
the oppressed of all ntaions may come
to enjoy freedom, equality, and Justice
The white also tells the story of a
struggle in the name of Liberty the
great Civil War, when the northern and
southern parts of our country were SO
perilously near being torn asunder in
the hope of freeing people who had
been enslaved The white also tells
more glorious story of patriotic rlen
and women, who, after the war, joined
hands again to form more perfect
union than ever before
The blue in our flag is the emblem OF
loyalty. 1t is the blue of the heavens.
the true blue. 1t tells the story of
thousands of men and women who
have been loyal to their flag, through
thick and thin, through suffering and
hardships. The blue in our flag tells
the story Of men and women VINO have
never hesitated to sacrifice even their
lives when their country has asked il
of them.
Therefore we can truly say that the
love and loyalty of American woman
hood, the strength and fortitudc of
American manhood have been woven
into the red, white, and blue Of our flag.
