APPLE TREES SHOW TROUBLE
Mrs. c. H. F. of Charlotte
writes: II hope you can tell me
what to do about my apple trees.
They have always done so well up
to this year. They r six to eight
years old. Iaey have cufled up
young leaves which are full of bugs
and there also seems to be a blight
of brown leaves. I thought at first
they got frosted but l don't think
so now The apples don't seem to
grow any and appear to be knotty.
They were sprayed in Jan. with a
dormant spray, and have been
sprayed three times since with ar
senic of lead which has no effect
on the bugs in the eurled up leaves.
Can you tell me what l can do?"
The bugs If the curled young
leaves are most likely apnids, suck
ing insects which are not hurt by a
stomach poison such as afsenate of
lead, but must be killed by a con-
tact insecticide which kills by
smothering. The lead arsenate
spray takes care of chewing in
sects like worms of all kinds. Nor
does a dormant spray destroy
aphids.
Some spray containing nicotine
sulphate go per cent? in a white
summer oil or in soapsuds must
be used to control aphids, or plant
lice. 1t must he put directly or the
insects and each one must be wet
with it for if to be effective. No,
need to put it on plants except as
it gets on in sraying the inseca
bodies. The apple aphis is hard to
wet with the spray because of the
curled leaves which protect the in
sects. Use one teaspoonful Of nico-
tine sulphate to a gallon of soap
subs. Repeat as often as live in
sects appear.
The browning Of the leaves could
be caused by one of several things
leaf spot, fire-blight, a serious at
tack of borers The knotty apples
may be the result of an ~infestation
of the apple maggot or it may be
bitter rot.
Write to the extension service of
your state college at Raleigh and
ask for a spray schedule for apples,
or ask your county agricultural
agent for advice. If you can phone
him and describe accurately the
SYMPTOMS of the trouble, he will be
able to diagnose the trouble and
suggest a remedy.

Hunting dndFishing

no hunter likes to have hls dog caught in Q trap but also. no trap per likes Co catch Q dog, but it trappers will be sure to follow the state laws there would probably fe fewer dogs caught,
 Then again, fox hunters should realize that the trapper pays for Q license also and he should not be so quick to condemn c trapper. Fox hunters will say that # their dog gets caught In Q Water-set trap, it Is their own fault because # the dog were tending to hunting, he wouldn't be bathing around in the water. Yet, f @ fox-hound is caught in Q trap, the trapper is imnae- diately blamed.
 Tt Is my opinion that for the amount of traps that are set in the woods, there are very few cases of dogs being caught. In fact, in New Haven County, I doubt if there are half Q dozen cases year.
 "Of course, my estimate may be questioned, but I'll also say that if the fox belts were counted In the county. trappers would account for two-thirds or better.
 This controversy between the hunter and trapper is constantly getting stronger and its about time real sportslnen would live and let live The trapper should trap legal ly and his traps should not be molested by others; and the hunter should be guided in his activities by the laws of the state--but most important, all should be good sports men."-EARL KURTZ.

PREFABRICATED HOUSES Well, I got my first look at one os those prefabricated houses the other day. Ther're supposed to be tne answer to the housing short- ase. And the idea is really catch- ing on. they're selling faster than Van Johnson autoeraphs at c bobby -Sox conventionI But if really IS c terrific idea. Just tnink. "a four-room house for q thousand dollarsl And it's sure " . bargain when you realize that the purchase price not oaly includes free delivery, but they promise to bring 1t back for you on windy days!
 The idea is quite novel. They cut them out in sections at the factory. And they have a special California model. on rainy days all you have to do is push a but ton and 1t folds up into A row boatll They really are popular. Pretty Soon 1t will be a common sight to see them going down the highway. In fact, one company hired . man just to open and close the doors to let traffic go through.
 And you should see them as semble those places. I watched them put one house together and they threw it up SO fast the ter- mites were still in their pajamac.

Hurricane At Strand
 South Sea Saga
 Stars Name Cast

Samuel Goldwyn knew that he had Q truly great picture in The Hurricane" which is now at the Strand Theater with Dorothy La- mour and Jon Hall heading a cost which includes Mary Astor, Sir Aubrey Smith, Thomas Mitchell, Raymond Massey, John Carradine and Jerome Cowen.
 "The Hurricane" with its tender romance, it's powerful drama, its picturesque setting and its amazing spectacle climax, is a story ready cut to the screens most heroic measure.
 On the low island of Manukura, 600 miles from Tahiti, two native sweethearts, Terangi and Marama are wed. Their brief happiness is shattered when Terangi, returns to Tahiti on the trading schooner of which he is first mate, is imprisoned for striking a white man who ir- suits him.
 After five years of unsuccessful attempts, the boy escapes from Ta- hiti and makes his way to his na- tive island. Because of the implac- able sense of duty of the French Administrator, however, he is forced to hide on a neighboring island.
 The search for him is at it's height when a great hurricane be- gins to blow up. Unmindful of his own safety, the youth goes to Man ukura to warn the inhabitants. In the fury that follows, he plays a heroic part, and the hurricane scenes provide one of the most thrilling and powerful climaXes the screen has ever shown.
 Known as the discoverer of more new stars than any other producer, Goldwyn entrusted teh role of the native hero, Terangi, to Jon Hall, Lovely Dorothy Lamour appears op- posite him as the native heroine Marama.
 It was Goldwyn's original inten- ton to film the entire production in its actual South Sea Island locale. Weather conditions in the South Seas and the necessity of using a vast amount of special equipment to create the climaxing hurricane, proved clinching factors in altering that plan. The producer sent pho- tographic unit of IS members to American Samoa to film scenic back grounds, while the action involving the cast was shot in Hollywood on settings unprecedented for size and realism.
 Largest of the Hollywood settings is @ complete island village, encircl- an acre-and-a-half lagoon. This set occupied two and half acres of the studios "back lot"
 "The Hurricane" is released through Film Classics.
 The companion feature is "Raf- fles' starring David Niven and Oli- via deHaviland.

Her screen portrayals, from the im- mortal title role in stella Dallas" to christmas Tn Connecticut" have always born the stamp of conscien- tious artist who enjoys her work and whose charm and talent seem inexhaustible To the role of Jessica Drummond, the actress brings warmth and clarity of interpreta- ton which contribute heavily to the Characterization bell vability.
