While not indicating what allow

The court said, however, that

Bert Loses the War

Bert Chi1der's house burned
down last week, and the only
good thing that came out of it
was it cured him of swearing.
Bert Just couldn't think of
words to fit the occasion, so he
Just gave up.
Bert admits 1t was his own
fault. Started with q field fire
which he thought he had under
control, and when he turned his
back a minute for a breathing
spell, the fire sprung up twice as
fierce. BY the time the firemen
arrived, there wasn't much that
they could do.

Lespedeza Proving
Aid To Farm Lands

June 17-Lespedeza is proving IT.
self one of the best hay, seed, and
land improving crops in North
Carolina, say county agents OF the
State College Extension Service.
Just now the greatest percentage
increase in acreage is probably
coming in Eastern Carolina.
In Hyde County, for example,
County Agent ]. P. Woodland re-
ports that oats following a crop
of lespedeza for seed are produc-
ing about 40 per cent larger yields
this sumner than where the oats
followed a crop of corn.
Many counties are not produc-
ing enough lespedeza seed for
home crops and are depending on
other sections for their seed sup
ply. County Agent M. Edmund Ay-
cock is uring the farmers OF Lee
noir County not only to save les
pedeza seed but also all types OF
seed for 1916 crops. At Aycock' S
suggestion, Henry Herring on the
LAGRANGE highway is saving one
of the first crops of crimson clover
seed ever harvested in Lenoir.

Migrant Farmers Leave
Eastern Part OF State

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
June IMMIGRANT workers from

growers of Eastern Carolina har-
vest potatoes, are now moving in
to Virginia. Maryland. New Jersey,
and New York, and other states,
says Fred S. Sloan of State College,
who is in charge of the emergency
labor program for the Extension
Service.
Digging of potatoes in North
Carolina began about two weeks
earlier than usual this year and,
when the states to the north
were not ready to take the work
ers, the Extension Service helped
the workers make contracts with
growers in other states and North
Carolina farmers gave them part
time work to bridge the gap be-
tween work in this area and the
states to the north.
The county agents report that
the migrant workers we're greatly
pleased with working conditions
in North Carolina and with the
help given them in making con-
tracts with northern growers The
workers plan to return the co:npli.
ment next year by giving North
Carolina farmers all the labor they
need in harvesting their crops.

Dinitro Dust Is Used
In Chinch Bug Fight

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
June 17.-0ne hundred thousand
pounds of dinitro dust is being
used this year by North Carolina
farmers IN the fight against the
chinch bug. This is double the
amount used last year.
The bugs are leaving grain fields
and attacking corn crops both in
the areas affected last year and
also in new areas. A barrier Of the
dinitro dust is established between
the grain field and the corn field
and the bug is killed on contact
with the dust.
''Chinch bugs are causing the
first noticeable damage to corn
crops in Berthe county," says
County Agent B F. Grant of the
State College Extension Service
''E. w. Williford of Merry Hill
township has plowed up two fields
of corn because of damage by the
bug and has planted the land to
other crops On the W. T. Tadlock
farm the chinch bugs came from
a field Of rye and attacked near
by corn fields"
"Perquimans County farmers
have established barriers of dinitro
from the chinch bug" says County
dust to protect their corn crops
Agent L. w. Anderson "Whe-e
crops were already attacked by
the bug, growers are busting the
plants"

SEQU0IA POTATO
WIDELY PLANTED

COLLEGE STATION, RALEIGH
June 1.-THE Sequoia Irish potato,
bred by the Agricultural Expert
ment Station at State College and
released to commercial growers
five years ago, has proven itself
potato of excellent quality and
yields in many states throughout
the United States and in some for
eign sounries, according to a re-
cent announcement in the Amerl-
can Potato Journal.
It is one of the newer insect
resistant varieties and was named
for the famous Cherokee Indian
chief. who was born near old Fort
Louden in western North Carolina
Seuuoia's greatest contribution te
his people was the development d
an alphabet which enable them te
read and write
In l943 almost 10000 bushels o.
the new potato were planted by
growers in II states and it was
continuing to gain in popularity
The principal states growing the
potato were North Carolina
Maine, New York, Maryland, ane
Tennessee.
The Sequoia has been released
for commercial production in Aus
tralia and is now being tested II
New Zealand and South America
1t is a high-yielding, late-maturins
variety that has shown marked re
sistance to damage caused by flea
beetles and leafhoppers.
1t has responded to wide range
of soil and climatic conditions anc
in North Carolina it is grown prin
cipally on upland soils, according
to Prof. M. E. Gardner of State
College.
He points out that careful atten
ton must be given to spacing am
fertilizing. Because of the vigor o
this variety, it produces rough
oversize tubers with tendency tt
hollow heart condition, if given to-
much space in the row or if ferti
lized too heavily.

TOBACCO WORKERS
NEEDED in STATE

corLEGE STATION, RALEIGH
,,.ne y - About 1882, 584 man
hours of work will be required in
the harvesting and curing OF the
flue-cured tobacco crop OF Norm
Carolina this year.
All of this work must be cone
in the respective sections IN aoou
.ix weeks and this means that the
neak labor load will be tremsn-
dous. -.
Dean I. o. Schaub, director OF
tho Extension Service at State col
leee, calls attention to the fact
that many of the primers ana
"c,1rers" of the 1943 and 1914 crops
are now in the armed services
and that extra workers from the
towns and cities must be depend
ed upon to help out in the emer-
gency. x.ox
The crisis will come just after
the "lugs'' are taken from the
plant and the main body OF the
crop is harvested. NO one IS aoie
to predict just what weather con,
ditions will be at that time. II
there is a period of wet weather,
followed by exceptionally dry
weather, the crop will ripen very
RAPIDLY and labor needs Will be
increased tremendously.
Dean Schsub also points out tna'
all Of this work in harvesting TO-
bacco is hand work with the single
exception of hauling the tobacco
from the field to the tobacco barn
in a sled. There are no machines
for doing any of the work and the
welcoming leaves must be handled
again, and again, and again by
hand.
Boys and girls, young people
old people, - practically everyone
can help in harvesting and curing
the tobacco crop. The same Zeal
OF tobacco is often handled by one
or more people in the harvesting
ana curing process.

OXFORD TOBACCO
HELPS FARMERS

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
June 18.-The new Oxford 26 to-
bacco, which is resistant to Gan
vile wilt and was bred by the To
bacco Branch Experiment Station
at Oxford after many years of
trials and thousands of tests, is
saving North Carolina tobacco
growers thc.Sands of dollars this
year.
These savings will amount into
the millions, as more seed are OBJ
tanned. This is the first year for
the growing of the new variety
on a commercial basis, and county
agents of the State College Ex-
tension Service say that the new
variety is maintaining its resis-
lance against Granville wilt and
is producing a type of tobacco
that pleases the growers.
In Martin county, for example.
H. A. Jenkins of Robersonville,
Route 2, is growing the new tobac-
CO on land that has been so badly
infested with the Granville wilt
that he has been unable to pro-
duce normal crop in recent years.
"Jenkens has one of the finest
fields of tobacco in Martin coun-
ty,' says c. j. Goodman, assis.
tant farm agent, land there is not
a trace of the Granville wilt in
the field this year"
Farmers growing the Oxford
rs tobacco are well pleased with
their crops and this new variety
will greatly increase the income
of Pitt county growers, says
Samuel j. Weeks, assistant coun-
ty agent.
More than a thousand different
strains of tobacco from several
counties were tested at Oxford
and only one gave complete re-
sistence to Granville wilt and an
opportunity for developing tobac-
co of high quality:
