Warning Issued To
Tobacco Growers
Preparation OF Plant Bed Plays
Important Part In Eliminat-
ing Beetle.

The first step in controlling flea
beetle attacks is the prevention OF
their entering tobacco plant beds
]. Q. Rowell, extension entomolo-
.gist at State College, is warning
leaf growers.
He pointed out that all plant
bed sites should be burned or
steamed before any seed are sown.
This will aid in destroying any in
sects or eggs which might be in
the ground.
In building the bed, the side walls
should be tightly fitted at all joints
and well banked with dirt on the
outside. A cloth cover which has
at least Is strands per linear inch
should be stretched over the bed so
that there will be no opening be-
tween the cover and the top of the
side walls.
While flea beetle attacks may
be prevalent throughout the plant
bed period, the young plants are
most susceptible to injury during
the first ten days following seed
termination.
For this reason, Rowel said, it is
advisable not to remove the cover
more often than is necessary dur
ing this critical period. An opened
bed may give the adult beetles
access to the interior where they
begin their egg laying.
"Too much emphasis cannot be
placed on the Importance of build
ing tight beds as an aid in reduc-
ing flea beetle injury" Rowell de-
clared.
One per cent rotenone dust has
been found the most efficient insec-
ticide for destroying the BEETLES. This
dust may be applied with a rotary
hand-operated duster or by bel
lows-type hand buster at the rate
of one-half pound to each 100
square yards of plant bed surface.

States east of the Mississippi and
south of the Ohio River raise but
very small proportion of their
work animals. North Carolina is
typical of most of these states.
Most competent horsemen, fully
acquainted with the situation, are
of the opinion that the southeastern
states will have to buy from 10000
to 100000 animals each year for a
long time to come.
The demand for mules increas-
ing, HID stetler said, especially the
medium-sized cotton mule standing
from Is to 1912 hands high, and
weighing from 1000 to. 1900
pounds.
There is also some demand for a
slightly larger mule from the to-
bacco-producing areas. In, these
counties, growers will pay more for
mules standing around 1873 hands
high and weighing 1900 pounds.

their lending policies to the credit

The recent meeting Of "httle busi-

the impression that little business"
Is being denied credit. The line Of
demarcation between little business

treated Is relative.
With the exception of a few large
loans the average amount OF our in
dustrial loans has been $54, ,760. Thirty

have been for $4,000 or less, 81 per

Four out Of every five of the banks
in which the r. F. c. has capital are

am aware that banks do not like to
make slow loans, or loans which the
bank examiners soon class as slow,

NOT A NAPOLEONIC COMPLEX

William Dieterle's likeness to Ma poleon as he directs Madeleine Car roll and Henry Fonda in Walter Wanger's "The Adventures" with left hand tucked into his vest, is not a theatrical pose. Dieterle started the new picture before his left arm and collar bone, broken in a recent automobile accident, had knitted completely. Directing a scene he gestures and guides his players with both arms only to suf- fer sharp pains when he uses the injured arm too freely. Hence, be- tween scenes Dieterle stands erect, supports the sore arm by tucking the fingers into his vest and looks unusually like the famous French emperor.
