Question: How can I prevent the
spread of mosaic in my tobacco
fields?
Answer: Extreme care should be
taken in topping, worming and suck
ering the plants. Avoid handling the
diseased plants until all the healthy
plants have been care for. Roguing
out the diseased plants will also
check the spread. To be most effec-
tive this should be done before each
cultivation. The removal of these
plants will prevent the spread by
implements used in cultivation.
After the diseased plants are re-
moved the hands and all clothing
should be carefully cleaned before
additional work is done in the field.
Question: What steps can be taken
to prevent infestation of my chic
kens with worms?
Answer: There is no method that
will guarantee the absolute elimina-
ton of worms, but the worm hazard
can be reduced to a minimum if the
ranges are kept free from low areas
that hold moisture for a long period
of time and if the breeding places
for immediate hosts such as snails,
dung neetles and house flies are de-
stroyed. The dropping boards should
be screened and when cleaned the
droppings should be removed far
enough from the range so the birds
cannot get to them. It is also well
to plow up the ranges used for rear
ing chicks each year and sow this in

ANTI-SLOT MACHINE Law
TO BE TESTED THIS WEEK

The constitutionality of North
Cardinals 1887 anti-slot machine
law will be attacked in a hearing at
Fayetteville this week.
In an order for a hearing served
today on city and county authorities,
Joseph Calcutt, trading as the Vend-
ing Machine company seeks a re-
straining order against threatened
action under the new law.
Alleging an investment of $25, 900,
Calcutt claimed he would suffer
"irreparable injury" if the terms of
the act were carried out.
He held that it impairs the obi
cations of contract; contravenes the
interstate commerce clause of the U.
S. Constitution and deprives him Of
property and rights without due
process of law.
Among those listed as plaintiffs
attorneys was former Governor J.
c. B. Ehringhaus.

Warm Weather at
North Pole Checks
Mans Experiments
Four Men Who Volunteered to
Stay There Year Troubled
With Excessive Heat

Four Russian scientists who have
volunteered to spend year at the
North Pole to study weather condl-
tons are having heat wave, not
the kind that parches fields and
crops, but one that melts houses, and
that is inconvenient for those who
live at the top of the world.
Radio messages from the Soviet
North Pole base described crisis in
the lives of the four men who vol
unteered to remain there.
Temperature has been towering
around the freezing-or melting
mark for a week. It has rained in
that land of supposedly perpetual
ice and snow. Fog today reduced
visibility to 200 yards.
The rain weakened the ice on
which the camp is based. The main
camp as a result was shifted closer
to the center of the half mile square
ice floe on which it is drifting about
the pole.
An ice block house constructed fol
the radio station melted. The radio
apparatus was crowded into the
main tent, which was propped up or
planks to protect it from water.

Senator Josiah w. Bailey Says
Martial Law i'm JOhntOwn

Senator Josiah w. Bailey of North
Carolina denounced Governor Earle
of Pennsylvania for declaring mar
tial law at Johnstown, saying that
the Governor by that action had sid
ed with the strikers.
The action of the Governor of
Pennsylvania" he said, Gin declaring
martial law at Johnstown, calling
out the State militia, taking charge
and demanding closing of the indus
tries is highly significant in view OF
the facts.
I'm taking this action the Cover
nor of Pennsylvania took sides in a
strike, not with the workers who
were at work, but with an organiza-
ton that was trying to keep them
from working. The proper course
would have been to call out the mi
litia for the purpose of protecting
men in their right to work, not for
the purpose of aiding those who
were engaged in preventing men
from working. Having choice
to make, he made the choice on the
side of those who had decided to
take the rights of men into their
own hands. :"

Cows suffer from heat, and if

Flies will irritate cows and keep

AS far as possible, fly breeding

- How Biqqer Navy May Lead to Peace

1t would be a strange thing of
The four new $60,0O00O0 BATTLE
ships soon to be added to tho
American navy should be the
means of leading the world back
to disarmament and peace.
Strange-but not unprecedented.
For however welcome the pill may
be to the anti-preparedness camp
1t remains true that it was a su-
per-powerful American navy which
led directly to an effective peace
movement in the early 1920's. If
we had not a truly gigantic naval
force at that time, the armament
race of today and the Asiatic War
which is now being waged might
well have come a decade sooner
than they did come.
For it does seem to be true that
a United States fleet which is
match for all comers is one of the
most potent arguments for peace.
Go back a little way in history
and see how it worked out the
other time.
An enormous naval building pro
gram was started by the United
States during the war. When the
war ended. this program was con
tinued. AS w swung into the de-
cade of the UWenties. America had
a fleet which no other nation on
earth could match. Great new bat
