QUESTION:: What is the best
way to protect tobacco plant beds
from f1ea-beetle damage?
ANSWER: The trap bed has
given excellent results in the con-
troll of this insect. This bed is made
by fitting boards closely around the
margin of the bed and bank-soil
around these boards so that the
beetles cannot crawl under them.
A trap is then built at least two
feet around the tight bed. This
area is sown with tobacco seed and
as soon as the plants are up they
should be kept well covered with
poison at all times. Full directions
for building a trap-bed for the con-
troll of fea-beetles as well as con-
troll measures for other tobacco in
sects are given in Extension Circu-
lar No 174 and copies may be had

of this belief.
Certain eggs were handled care

Others were subjected to rough

CLUB MEMBERS WIN
TWO SCHOLARSHIPS

Two All Club boys have won
one-year scholarships to State Col
lege, one because he knew how to
raise pigs and the other because of
his outstanding dairy calf.
Albert Coates of Smithfeld,
Johnston county, started his dem
onstration with three pigs for which
he paid $25. During a feeding peri
cd of 81 days, the animals ate $23.5 so
worth of feed and gained Ais
pounds.
When young Coates sold the pigs,
he received $64.35, which netted
$15.85, said L. r. Harrill, All Club
leader at State College. In addi-

Answers Questions
About Tenant Loans

Tenant farmers living in other
designated counties need not apply
at present for loans with which to
buy a farm under the tenant act,
according to w. Bryan Oliver, West
jefferson, County Supervisor OF the
Farm Security Administration, but
money for regular rehabilitation
loans to buy items other than land
is still available to farmers and
farm tenants, he said.
The first allotment OF money to
buy and improve farms was sutfl-
Gent to start the program IN only a
few counties in each state, Mr.. OIL
yer said, and Ashe County was not
included in the first list. However,
the Bankhead-Jone Tenant Act
authorized to be appropriated two
and one-half times as much money
for the second fiscal year, begin
ming July l, and five times as much
for years thereafter.
If Congress makes these addition
al funds available, other countles
NAV be taken into the program
Counties were chosen by the Secre-
tary of Agriculture on advice OF the
state tenant advisory committee on
the basis of number of tenants as
compared with number OF farmers:
The availability of good farm land
was also a factor, it was stated.

QUESTION: When should les.

QUESTION: When should les
pedeza be sown on small grain?
ANSWER: This, of course, de-
Ponds upon the variety seeded, but
the usual practice is to- sow in Feb
ruary or March. The Korean vari-
ETY. terminates in about two weeks
and the other varieties in from four
to five weeks. Seeding should be
made early enough to become well
established before the hot-dry
weather, but late enough to avoid
freezes. If the seed are broadcast
at least one bushel of seed (25
pounds) should be sown to the acre.
When drilled in, less seed is re-
quired, but the drill should be set
to run very shallow and the seed
mixed with superphosphate, basic
Stag, or ground limestone for bet
ter coverage.

QUESTION: Should

QUESTION: Should eggs be
handled after they are set for
Matching?
ANSWER: Yes. All eggs should
be candled on the seventh day and
all dead germs and infertile eggs
removed. Care, however, should be
exercised in handling. A fertile
egg will appear to contain a spider
the germ representing the body
of the spider while the blood YES
sells represent the legs. An infer
tile egg will be clear with the yolk
slightly visible. The handling
should be done in a dark room or
at night.

What's What
ABOUT
Social
Security

(135) QUESTION: What are the
requirements for obtaining unem-
ployment compensation benefits UNI
der the North Carolina Compensa-
ton law?
ANSWER: The first requirement
[ is that the person who seeks to re-
ceive unemployment compensation
benefits must have been employed
in an occupation covered by that
law. Second, upon losing his job
he must register with the employ
ment service office for another job.
If, after waiting the required num-
Der of weeks, which in North Caro-
lima is two weeks, he has not been
able to find suitable job, he will
receive unemployment compensa-
ton benefits for a limited number
of weeks.
(136) @: I was IS years old on
December Is, and had Social Sc
curity Act?
A: You should get in touch with
your Social Security Board Field
Office, give them all the informa-
ton you can regarding your Social
Security record and make formal
claim for your old-age insurance.
The amount you will receive will be
81 per cent of your total wages in
covered employment since Decem-
Der 81, 1886, and the time you at
tanned IS years of age, which in
your case was December H. After
the Social Security Board has de-
termined, from the wage record
kept under your Social Security &C
count number the amount due you,
certifcation of your claim will be
made to the Treasury Department.
Your check will then be mailed to
you from the Treasury of the Unit
ed States.
(137) @: If my employer doesn't
report my Social Security taxes
will be able to collect my old-age
insurance upon reaching IS years OF
age, or if I should die would my
estate be able to collect it under
these circumstances?
A. This amount which will be
paid you under the old-age inEur-
ance provisions of the Social Secur-
ity Act does not depend on the
amount of taxes collected from you
or paid by your employer under
Title VIII Of the Social Security
Act. The amount received will de-
pend on the total of your wages
earned in covered employment al
ter December 81, 1886, and before
you become IS years of age, or die
But the employer who does not
obey the law and report the amount
of wages paid each employee, puts
his employees at disadvantage be-
cause the Social Security Board
will not have a record of those wag-
es when it comes time to compute
the amount the Board should pay
each worker under the old-age in
surance provisions of the law.
