You may not believe it, but the fel-

that considerable amount Of the dust
Ind dirt that you find around your
house comes filtering In through these

many dollar on heating costs but
also receive a dividend in lowered
cleaning costs for curtains, draperies
and other decorative materials around
the place.
WITH cold weather so close at
hand, we can't help but think of
ways and means of keeping comfort
able, which, after all, Is the major job
that your house should perform. In
the early fall, though, it seems to be
even more of problem to keep the
place livable than it is when the cold
weather really sets in Those in be-

a sizeable space If laid end to end,
through which hundreds of small

little cracks could be closed up in a
simple and inexpensive manner the
smart home modernizer would be pref
ty foolish if he didn't go ahead and
do something about them. That is
where we come in with suggestion
which We believe will help great

Unless you have an automatic heat
ing plant installed it is almost too
much to ask for a fire'to be built, then
allowed to die out, then be built again,
so why not obtain an efficient portable
oil heater to take the chill of when
and where you want 1t to.
II you haven't seen the new portable
oil heaters you will have trouble
identifying them at first from a good
looking radio as they now have hand
some, streamlined castings with dial
controls. The burners themselves
have been much improved over the
old-style wick type, and don't even
use a wick to obtain a constant,
smokeless fame, both high and low
in intensity. The new burners have
welded steel shell, designed so that
they work without fussing or Tuning,
and save you from having to buy wicks
from time to time just when you need
the heater most.

IS YOUR house one of those hard

to defy any and all efforts to
make them warm and comfort
able? 1t is really quite amazing how
some poor home owners put up with
the conditions they do when the cold
winds begin to howl and the fur
naces begin to cry out for more and
more expensive fuel. If they would
only stop and look around a bit the
chances are that they would find
many places where precious heat is
seeping out into the open air.

Raleigh, May 9.-Twelve summer
school sessions have been announced
by the State Department of Public
instruction for this summer.
These announcements bring to. the
fore the fact that the development of
resort and recreational facilities has
been raralleled by steady increase
in summer school enrolment, fact
Which is now regarded by school au-
thorities as more than a coincidence.
1t is noticeable that in almost all
the places chosen for summer school
sessions, there are also recreational
and resort developments
For this summer Eastern Carolina
will have summer schools sessions
at Eastern Carolina Teacher College
Greenville,' beginning June 9, with the
second term starting July 21 while
Wake Forest and Meredith combined
summer school will begin at Wake
Forest June 8. There will be only one
term. State Colleges summer school
unit will begin its terms June 13 and
July o.
At Chapel Hill the University sum-
mer school terms will begin June 13
and July %; while terms of the Wo-
mems College branch of the Univer-
sity at Greensboro will open it's first
term June 6. It has not been decided
whether there will be a second term.
In the Piedmont, Catawba College
summer school terms will open June

vited me for a ride. The owners and
occupants turned out to be Mr.. and
Mrs. David Glover. She was Miss
Fannie Barnes, daughter of Mrs
Walter Barnes, and a sister of Miss
Thelma, who married Lloyd Dorsey
Mr.. Glover was the son of Dave
Glover, whose old homeplace is I be-
lieve down near Townsville. Their
big family Bible gives record of a
Dave Glover having been in the fam
lily for generations back.
His mother is Mrs. Carrie Kelly
Glover, who lives at Petersburg, Va.

It seems that the paramount talent
which I possess is that of asking
questions, and during that ride ]
found out that Rev. L. c. Brothers
had eaten supper with the Glover
family the night before. And know
ing the one Great weakness of Metho-
dist preachers, pointedly asked if
they had fried chicken for supper,
which they did.
They finally got tired of my talk
and chatter so put me out of their car
in front of Cousin Hewitt Hicks when
they turned off the road. They invited
the Jones family out to Herman
church the third Sunday and told me
to be sure to tell Daddy Jones, which
I have already did.

Quotas Encourage
Superior Tobacco.

Although there is no sharp dividing
line, tobacco growers fall into two
general classes-those who try to
grow the most tobacco and those who
attempt to produce the best quality
leaf
Those in the first class often sa-
crifice quality for greater production
by planting more acreage than they
can tend properly, says Lloyd T.
Weeks, assistant tobacco specialist for
the State College Extension Service.
Under the marketing quotas adopt
ed by tobacco growers and admins
tered by the AAA, the quantity"
growers are encouraged to Lecome
quality growers.
Weather conditions often affect leaf
quality, but even in bad years, with
proper care, the farmer can grow good
tobacco.
Many North Carolina producers Of
flue-clired leaf do not use enough 20
fash. Experiments have shown that
pl-;nty of potash makes a bright,
smooth leaf that is easy to cure. AL
though fertilizers have been applied
already in most sections, it is still

days after transplanting.
Plans for the control of such dis
cases as root knot and Granville wilt
must be made at least two years a.
head, SO now is the time to start con-
troll pinns for the 1910 crop
Where root knot, or "big root, is
prevalent. a proper rotation effective
ly reduces damage. A suggested rota
zion. is to follow the tobacco crop with
root-knot resistant legume, such a.
peanuts or velvet beans. This can be
followed the second year with a weef
tallow. Tobacco is planted again the
fnird year.

State College Answers
Timely Farm Questions.

Question: How can l control potato
beetles in my home garden?
Answer: An application of calcium
arsenate should be made as soon as
the beetles appear in any number anil
continued as often as the beetles be-
come numerous. This poison may be
used either as a dust or spray, hut the
plants should be thoroughly covered
for best results. For busting, the ma
terial should be used without dilution
A small hand buster has given ex-
cellent results. When used as a spray
use ten teaspoonsful of calcium ar
senate to three gallons of water for
small gardens and two pounds of the
poison to SO gallons of water for large
amounts.

Answer: Chicks should be given
grain feed after the first eight or ten
days. This should be fed two or three
times a day in the mash hoppers and
on top of the mash. This lessons the
chance of the chick picking up droop-
ings. It is very essential that suf-
ficient hopper space be supplied so
that all the birds can eat at one time
Where it is necessary to keep the
chicks in the brooder house, the ration
should be supplemented with one per
cent of biologically tested cod liver
OIL However, if the birds have access
to a range and direct sunlight this
supplement is unnecessary

coccidiosis parasite.
The parasite causing this disease is
SO small that it cannot be seen with
out the aid of microscope, but the
disease can be detected by the bloody
droopings and pale appearance of the
birds.
Where the outbreak is severe. the
young birds die rapidly.
The most effective means for con-
trolling coccidiosis is rigid sanitation.
Chicks that seem to he sick or are
understood should be killed and burn
ed or buried deeply. This will remove
chicks that are either infected or like
ly to become infected, and which
would make culls if left to grow into
adult birds.
Removing infected chicks decreases
the number of parasite eggs that will

The litter and sand should be clean

every other day. Replace it with clean
sand or gravel to a depth of 1-3 of

moved be buried or placed where
the birds can't get to it.
Ordinary disinfectants don't help
much in controlling chick coccidiosis,
but it is good to clean the feed and

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D

and District officials themselves have
agreed there still are some obvious
inequities, even under the amend
ments adopted at the past session of
Congress.
The tax was adopted as one of the
major elements of "stop-gap" plan
for meeting the Districts budget
problems of the past and present
fiscal years.
However, it must be agreed that
district officials are acting properly
in attempting to force the recalci-
trants into line. AS long as a tax
has been adopted by Congress, ad-
ministration officials have no license
to play the part of shut-eye sentries.
1t would, of course, be grossly unfair
to the long list of firms which paid
more than 100000 in taxes and
$270,000 in license fees, to permit
others to continue to operate with
out license or payment of back
tax bills.
The ultimate solution of the issue
lies in a revision of the tax structure
and the adoption of levies of more
equitable character; and it should be
remembered that payment by the
United States of a fairer share of the
costs of the National Capital, on a
fixed percentage of the total would
go a long way toward solution of
the Districts financial problems:
