Gardeners Get Ready
For Fight On Insects

Good equipment is the first es-
sential in controlling insect pests in
the home garden as we'll as in fields
and orchards.
The machine most generally used
by home gardeners is compressed
air sprayer of two to three gallons
capacity. A hand duster is also de-
sirable, said H. R. Niswonger, ex-
tension horticulturist at State COL
lege.
The second essential is supply of
good spray and dust material, he ad-
ded. An eight-ounce glass meas
uring cup, graduated in thirds and
quarters. is useful in measuring ma
terials.
Magnesium arsenate is recon-
mended as a spray for eradicating
Mexican bean beetles One-third
cup of arsenate to three gallons of
water makes a good solution. Mis-
wonger pointed out. Or dust the
beans with mixture of one pound
of magnesium arsenate to three

Sunlight Checks
Blue Mold In
Tobacco Beds

Sunshine is the best remedy for
keeping blue mold out of tobacco
plant beds, said DR.. R. F. Poole,
plant pathologist at the N. c. Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station.
The fungus causing this disease,
which has begun to ravage tobacco
beds in eastern North Carolina this
season, cannot spread and thrive in
the suns rays, DR.. Poole explained.

Issues Bulletin On
State Farm Program

A comprehensive agriculture.
program for North Carolina, in
cooperating the latest development
of scientific research, has beer
worked out by the State College
agricultural extension service.
The program is based primarily
on good crop rotations, planting
crops on land to which they are
we'll adapted, more soil-buildine
and erosion-preventing crops, more
food and feed crops, higher yield:
and better quality, more livestock
and balanced farming.
This program will work we'll in
connection with the new federal
soil-improvement program, saio
Dean l. O. Schaub, director of the
extension service.

state program has been set forth ir

To Tell Poultrymen
OF Spring Culling

Realizing that poultrymen will
soon begin culling their laying
flocks, Roy S. Dearstyne, head of
of the poultry department at State
College, will give farmers timely
suggestions on this subject in a
radio talk Friday.
Inferior birds are found in every
flock, and they are allowed to stay
the poultryman is in good posi-
ton to lose much of the profit
which he might make from hi:
healthy, vigorous chickens. Since
many of these birds are suffering
from diseases which might b.
spread to other members of the
flock, it is not only wise, but nee
essary, to Gull them from the flock
Spring pullets will soon begin
laying, and it is important that the
poultryman keep a close check on
the egg production of individual
birds. Gull ou, those which seem

Start dusting or spraying as soon
as adult beetles become numerous,
and repeat every week or 10 days
or as often as necessary. The spray
or dust must reach the undersides
Of the leaves.
Rotenone dust also is good form
of beetle control, he observed, and
it is not harmful to human beings
The dust should contain three
fourths of one per cent rotenone'
Poisoned Bordeaux powder and
rotenone dust are used in controll-
ing flea beetles and cucumber beet

Flea beetles often cause severe
damage to potato, tomato. pepper,

Hints To Gardeners
BY Harold Coulter
Vegetable Expert
Ferry Seed Institute
Soil Study Important

A FEW minutes consideration Of
n the condition and makeup Of
the soil in your garden just before
planting can make a marked differ.
ence in your success as a gardener.
Clayey soils require the most
careful handling but are heavily
productive. Sandy soils are "early"
and sandy loans are just about
IDEAL for most home garden crops.
Peas, lettuce, cabbage. broccoli,
tauliflower, beets, carrots, radish
and onion prefer plenty Of moisture
and moderately cool temperatures
during development. These should
be planted about as early in the
spring as the soil can be worked in
order that they may develop before
the extreme heat of summer sets in.
This early planting will yield an
abundance Of early produce for use
during Spring and Summer and for
canning. Plant most of these again
during the Summer, timing the
planting date so that the crops will
grow and mature during the cooler,
moister Fall months.
Sweet corn, beans, tomato. pep
per, egg plant, cucumber, melons,
squashes and pumpkins are not so
hardy as those listed above and pre-
fer plenty of heat and sunlight for
best development. They also pros
per best when ample moisture is
available but are able to do we'll
during comparatively dry weather.
They do best on loamy soils but
carefully prepared clay soils pro-
ouce splendid crops.
Herbs do we'll in comparatively
poor sell and maintain growth
under rather drouthy conditions.
Under the same conditions, radish,
eurnip. parsnip, satisfy and other
root vegetables may be expected to
perform fairly we'll.
II you must do some Of your gar.
aening in ground that is semi.
shaded. try growing beans, radishss
or peas.

Laxative combination
folks know is trustworthy

The confidence thousands of par
ents have in good, old reliable, pow
dered Thedford's Black Draught has
prompted them to get the new Syrup
Of Black-Draught for their children.
The grown folks stick to the pow
dered Black-Draught; the youngsters
probably will prefer it when they
outgrow their childish love Of sweets.
Mrs. @. w. Adams, Of Murray, Ky,
writes: IT have used Thedford's
ck-Draught (powder) about thir-
teen years, taking it for biliousness.
Black k-Draught acts well and I am
always pleased with the results. I
wanted a good, reliable laxative for
my children. I have found Syrup OF
Black-Draught to be just that"

fected bed"
He advised the growers to give
their young tobacco plants plenty of
sunshine even if they have not been
attacked by blue mold, as sunlight
is good preventative.
After beds have become infected,
he said, they can be saved, but the
grower should be extra careful. Do
not transplant any plants from beds
to fields until all traces of blue
mold have disappeared.
Spraying for the control of blue
mold is not recommended, as no
spray has been discovered thus far
that will effectively control the dis
ease.

Farm Questions
Answered At
STATE COLLEGE

If grower in
creases his acreage of cotton or
tobacco above the established
base can he still receive payment
under the new farm program?
ANSWER: He may receive pay
ment if he has qualified other
wise, but an amount will be de-
Quoted from his total payments
equal to the soil-conserving pay
ment for the excess acreage, on
the same basis that he would have
received for diverting the same
number of acres. If the addi-
tional acreage is grown in COM
bination with a soil-conserving
or soil building crop and need
ed for home consumption, then
no deduction will be made.
Carolina watchman., 1936-04-24

QUESTION: How much manure
should be applied to the home
garden plot?
ANSWER: This, of course de-
pends upon the size of the plot
but on soils of average fertility
about ten two-horse wagon loads
should be used to the acre. One
load, therefore, would cover a
space approximately so by 100
feet. Be sure that the manure is
we'll rotted before applying.
Where it is desirable to use COM
bination of manure and super
phosphate for the garden soil the
ten loads of manure should be
supplemented with from two to
three bags of superphosphate.

these birds are usually in fairly
heavy lay during the summer
months when egg prices are rela-
lively high. Where the molt i.
