HOT WEATHER HOLDS
BLIGHT In CHECK,
|SAYS HORTICULTURE

If the weather stays dry and
hot there is a good possibility that
the bean blight in the Wilmington
and Burgaw areas will be held in
check until at least part of the
crop can be picked, according to
J. M. jenkins, Jr., aorticulturist
in charge of the vegetable re-
search laboratory at Castle Hayne.
The recent outbreak of the
blight can be attributed to the
cold, moist weather conditions
which have prevailed during much
of the spring season, he said, and
although the land has become dry
during tae past 10 days the in
lection has already spread in many
fields to a point where losses will
be severe. Some fields are blight
ed so badly that few beans will be
harvested, he said.
Bacterial blight of beans does
not come from the soil but is
brought in on the seed that is
planted, Jenkins explained.
Seed from Idaho usually is free
of blight but that produced in some
other seed producing areas may
or may not be infected.
Since blight cannot be controlled
by the use of sulphur or Ctler
fungicides, growers should be
careful to buy only the best bean
seed and they should specify that
it comes from Idaho, he advised.
If clean seed is planted there is
little danger of blight appearing
another year ven though weather
conditions might be favorable for
it, he concluded.

Planning A Utility Room

Homemakers who have small
kitchen, or a home in which there
is no basement or laundry room,
may find that utility room is the
answer to their problem. Miss Hell
en- Irene Smith, home management
specialist at the University of Mary
land, has prepared leafiet which
outlines possible uses for such a
room and shows how it could be
planned.
The leafiet may be obtained from
Miss Ardath Martin, our County
Home Demonstration Agent, or from
the Extension Service at the Univers-
ity of Maryland. 1t suggests that the
utility room might serve as place
for the laundry equipment and that
other chores, such as preparing veg
etables, sorting and packing eggs,
flower arrangement, shoe shining,
canning and sewing, could be done
there.

THANKSGIVING HYMN

BY Charles Hannibal Voss
Thanksgiving Day is here r
With its bright festive cheer;
And ample store.
Let us give God the praise,
Let us our anthems raise,
Let us seek out his ways,
Our God adore.
Let us thank him for peace,
For cruel wars surcease,
The victory won;
Forgetting not the slain,
The sufferers sore pain,
The selfish greed for gain,
The havoc done.
Let us thank him for trees q
Ripe fields and teeming seas,
For clothes and food.
Let us thank him for oil,
For mines and fertile soil,
For shops Where men may TOLL
And bring forth good.
Let us thank him for love,
Best gift from God above
Forever more.
Let us give God the praise,
Let us our anthems raise,
Let us seek out his ways,
Our God adore.
The above hymn of praise wa
published in last weeks Christian
1t seems to express 81
well the many things we have to b.
thankful for, that I thought it woulC
be of interest to my readers of al
denominations and faiths.
We are thankful too, 1 am sure
for the Friendship Train that las
week rolled across the continent
and for the spontaneous response o
the people that made possible owe
two hundred cars of food for tn,
hungry people of Europe-for thi
we thank God.
