North Carolina apple growers are
faced with the. added, complication of
controlling the amount of arsenical
lead spray material on the fruit be-
fore it can be offered to the trade.
our growers have had quite a
problem with the usual cultural re-
qulrements to produce a marketable
crop of apples but now they must give
attention to the amount of poison
spray material left on the fruit at the
time OF marketing" says H. r. Mis-
wonger, extension horticulturist at
State College. "All fruit going into
Interstate movements must have the
arsenlcal content reduced to O.01 grain
per pound of fruit and lead content to
O.Ol8 grain per pound This means
that if the federal inspector finds the
spray residue exceeds this amount
the residue must be removed by wash
ing or wiping the fruit before it can
be shipped out of the State"

WILD ONIONS COST
DAIRYMEN BIG SUM

College Station, Raleigh, May 4
Wild onions cost North Carolina
dairymen thousands of dollars each
spring and fall, John A. Arey, extern

Onion flavor renders milk unsal-
able and butter made from cream con
tanning this flavor has to be sold to a
renovating plant at low price, Arey
said. This loss is handed down to
the cream producer since the price
a creamery can pay for fat depends
on the price which it receives for but

The most effective way of prevent
ing onion flavor in milk, Arey said, is

his report to stockholders that the
company entered upon its new fiscal
year with greater volume of business
on its books that at any time within

caution, however, by saying:
"At the present writing there is a
decided lull in equipment buying. The
actual needs of the railroads for
equipment, both motive power and
rolling stock, have not by any means
been met. Under normal conditions
there would be every reason to expect
resumption of buying in volume
before the end of the year. But, un-
fortunately, the conditions just now
are far from normal The country is
