The Hole Truth About Moths

mohair, brstles, hair or even leather, are sub
ject to attack by moths. There are two species
that cause household damage - the case
making moth and the webbing moth.
A moth starts life as tiny white egg. This
matches into tiny larva, wormlike in ap-
pearance 1t is this larva which feeds on your
woods and mohairs. After several weeks of
eating, it spins little cocoon; here it develops
without additional eating, Thus folded up, it
is known as the pupa and, when mature, breaks
open its cocoon and becomes flyer.
1t is now ready to mate and deposit its
quota of eggs. The flying moth does not eat
and does no damage beyond laying eggs which
develop into new generation of larvae.
In the last five years our national loss be-
cause of moths has amounted to billion
dollars, and it is fast approaching million
dollars day - not counting that swell
dark blue sweater of mine.

Last year there were 100000 burglaries in
America In other words, 10000 houses and
buildings were entered and robbed. There are
five persons in the average American family,
so that million and half persons were
frightened because dangerous marauders who
might have killed had they been disturbed
had robbed. And the fear caused by one
burglary spreads over neighborhood.
Consider, for instance, the fear which swept
through the whole nation when the Lindbergh
child was kidnapped, or when fiend in Los

fear And the same thing applies to the more
than 1880 murders last year; the 10000
larcenies; the $1,000 robberies.
There is a major crime in our nation every
twenty two seconds Almost three times every
minute, some town or city or even state is
stunned by the horror of crime.
1t is actually impossible for any citizen to
be free from the effects of crime, either di-
rectly or indirectly. Every person, for instance,
is assessed Sl2O a year by the criminal world
for that is the cost of crime Crime costs
us SIS, 800 minute; 81, 71O, 600 an hour And
everybody has to pay in money, in violence,
in suffering or in punishment There is no
way out. There is no citizen in the entire
United States who can honestly say:
II am not and have not and will not be
affected in any way by crime"
These facts are indisputable: You pay for
the ravages of the racketeer. You must pay
for law enforcement to fight the criminals.
You are assessed for courts and prisons.
You pay for locks on your windows, bolts
on your doors. You pay for lights which need
not burn were we crime-free. You pay higher
prices for food, for clothing, for every neces-
sity because insurance must be carried against
robbery. You pay and pay and pay - either
in money, in fear, or in suffering

estly if crime has not directly affected you!
You can't get away from it - until you,
yourself, do something to combat it!

MUCH COUNTY
SOIL HELD IN
NEED OF LIME
Bennett Describes Four
Soils and Their Separate
Requirements
Ry d. w. BENNETT
Assistant County Agent

There are very few acres u
land in Henderson county when
do not need lining, unless inc!
have been lined recently.
There are four primary reasons
as TO why we lime soil: II
First, Lime will ncutraliZe SUI
acidity and make it sweet; u
Second, Lime will improve inc
structure of the soil if the proper
amounts are applied. Lime, VIII

particles; ,...,
Third, Lime aids in the decom-
position of organic matter. Inns
is done by aiding the growth OF
beneficial bacteria which decay
vegetable matter and makes the
plant neutrients available to
plants;
Fourth, Lime furnishes calcium
and MAGNESIUM which are impof-
tant plant neutrients for proper
plant growth, -. -.
These are several factors when
affect the amount Of lime which
should be applied to the acre.
Among these are texture OF SOIL,
organic matter in the soil. and
the kind of crop to be planted.
The coarser the soil PARTICLES the
less lime it takes to neutrallze the
soil acidity. For example, it takes
much more lime for the same re-
suits on clay soil than it does on
sandy soil.
The more organic or vegetable
matter in the soil the more lime
it takes to neutraliZe the soil acid.
This acid condition. is caused by
organic acids that come from the
organic matter.
The kind OF crop will also de-
tcrminc the amount Of lime to APP
ply. For example: Irish potatoes,
sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and
most fruits require strongly acid
soil and very. little lime. The fol-
lowing crops require medium acid
soils: snap beans, lima beans, cab
bage, cucumber, mustard, pepper
squash, turnip, corn, wheat and
oats. About one ton and on half
of lime will be satisfactory for
these, crops. The third class re-
quires the soil to be only slightly
acid. This class includes aspara-
gus, beet, celery, lettuce, English
peas, spinach, red clover. and al
falfa, Usually about two to three
tons of lime per acre is required
for the latter class. -.
