TREATMENT
PROTECTS COTTON
New Chemical Developed
And Tested For North
Carolina Farmers

Treating cotton seed has al =
ready proved its worth, for it is,
as DR.. S. G. Lehman, professor of
plant pathology at N. c. State
College, says, good insurance
against poor stands.
This year, however, a new ma
terial for this purpose has entered
the market. The new material,
Dow 9B, developed and tested by
the N. c. Agricultural Experiment
Station under a cooperative ar
rangement with a large chemical
concern, has proved its worth in
tests both at the N. c. Station
and in stations of the other cotton
states.
Taking its place along with New
Improved Ceresan, which for a
number of years has been the ap-
proved material for treating
cotton seed, Dow Oh has given
equally good results in controlling
arthracnose, pink boil rot and
bacterial blight-the principal
cotton seed disease.
Dow 9B has an additional char
acteristic that would recommend
its use, DR.. Lehman's tests show.
Not only is it as effective as pre-
viously used materials have been,
but it is also less offensive to use.
1t may also be used in the
regular barrel type seed treaters
or in the large type treaters set
up for commercial treatment of
cotton seed.
The recommended rates of ap-
these materials are / IL
ounces of New Improved Ceresan
per bushel Of seed O. l IL ounces
Dow 9B per bushel of seed.
The chemical should be applied
at least "a hours, preferably 48
hours, ahead of planting. Tests in
which treatments were made two
to four weeks ahead of time have
produced no i'll effects on the
seed has been treated, it should
be left in a pile or in a bag 50
that the chemicals can work on
the seed thoroughly before it is
planted.
Cost of treatment per bushel of
seed is about 10 cents, DR.. Leh-
man says, a minor cost when one
realizes that through use of these
treatments, the increase in yield
of cotton has ranged as high as
$21 per acre.
A further use for using seed
treatment is that the usual seed
ing rate, nov followed by farmers
who do not treat their seed, can
be cut in half if treated seed is
used.
This statement is based on the
fact that a so per cent increase
in stand has been the Usual result
of treating seed.
The use of these chemicals, DR..
Lehman says, controls three wide
spread cotton diseases, all OF
which are usually carried over
from crop to crop on the seed.

Bears Didn Hibernate,
Bee Hives Took The Ran

his beehives where they are. This
they have refused to do.
He reports that they persist in
trying to carry them away, lifting
the hives and waddling Of with
them to a place where they can
go after the honey with leisure.
Nine times out Of 10, says Jr-
dan, they drop the hives before
going very far. Then they roll
over and over on the ground TO
kill the bees which by this time
have become rather active, and
then go back for another hive.
Frank Meacham, z~oologist with
the state department Of agricul :
ture, advised Jordan to erect cleo
trio fences about his yards.
However, this measure has not
prevented the bears from return

One North Carolina citizen is
happy over the cold snaps this
section experienced a few weeks
ago.
He is F. R. Jordan, of New
Hanover county, one of the larg-
est beekeepers in southeastern
North Carolina.
Jordan has colonies of bees
scattered. about in the swamps OF
New Hanover county.
And what with the scarcity OF
sugar, preserves and jellies, he
has been doing pretty we'll.
But that was before the bears
took over.
Jordan says the warm weather
fooled the bears to DEATH"
Anyway, they refused to hiber-

Instead, they made raid after

that there will be as much potash
IN May and June as in this period
last season, Coltrane said.
The most serious bottleneck is
IN the nitrogen supply, according to
Coltrane. 1t is now impossible to
obtain nitrogen for top-dressing
small grain.
Coltrane believes that the supply
thsi year will be not more than Is
per cent Of the North Carolina de-
mand.
He added that large amounts of
ammonia nitrate were exported
for the production of food in Eu-
rope. Consequently, every little','
OF this ingredient can be obtained

time.
Second, bottlenecks in the sup

of Box Cars Cited
As A Major Bottleneck

RALEIGH, March 23.-Although the supply of mixed
fertilizers available to North Carolina farmers will be
almost as large this year as last, the supply may be less
than the demand and some desirable grades likely will be
less this season.
That is the opinion of D. S. Coltrane, assistant commits
sionera of agriculture for the state.
1.-TWO factors" said Coltrane, lead to the thought that
the demand will not be supplied.
First, the demand follows the agricultural pocketbook.

AN ~UNASWERABLE QUESTION
How shall we escape if we neg
lect so great salvation?"-Heb. 2:3.
The question above cannot be ans
wered for the reason that there is
no answer to it. There simply is no
escape for neglect of Gods gracious
provision for salvation in Jesus
Christ.
This salvation is described as $50
great" because of the great love that
prompted it. God SO loved the
world that he gave his only begotten
son."-John 3:16. Greater love hath
no man than this, that a man lay
down his life for his friends John
1913. God commendeth his love
toward us, in that, while we were
yet sinners, Christ died for u.s.
Rom. 5:8.
This salvation is great because
of a great sacrifice that provided it.
For Christ also hath once suffered
for sins, the just for the unjust, that
he might bring us to God, being put
10 uedtu III Tic llSSn' - ret. o.lo'
He was "the lamb of God which
taketh away the sin of the world"
John 1:29. So ne "bare our sins in
his own body on the tree, that we
being dead to sins, should live unto
righteousness."-1 Pet. 2:24.
This great salvation is offered to
whomsoever believeth in Him.
Christ said, "Come unto me all we
that labor and are heavy laden and
I will give you rest."-Matt. 11:28.
Again He said, "His that cometh to
me I will in no wise cast OUT
John 6:37.
Because this salvation is SO great
and because it is revealed to us by
Gods supreme revelation, His Son,
there is no escape for neglect of it.
The call of the gospel is given to
everyone. "He that believeth on Him
is not condemned, but he that be-
lieveth not is condemned already,
because he hath not believed in the
name of the only begotten Son OF
God."]ohn 1913. "How shall we
escape if we neglect so great sal
vation?" There is no escape.

Our loved one, DIR. Ohio Douglas
Hooker, a kind, gentle, good Chris
tan man and sincere friend, depart
ed this life Sunday, September 90
1947. With an abiding faith in his
Heavenly Father and the many kind
acts of our friends to comfort us in
our sorrow we wish to pay our
simple tribute to the life of our dear
ly believer : a life that touched us
no deeply, SO tenderly, and SO gently.
Our dearly beloved lived a simple,
quiet, useful Life. He was devoter to
his family; he adored his wife, Kath-
leen Wilburn Hooker, his partner
who shared with him his joys and
sorrows; he was a kind loving father
he was the playmate and companion
of his grandchildren, Of whom he
was justly proud.
Our dearly beloved loved not only
members of his family and close per-
sonal friends; he loved humanity and
Rrieved for the unfortunate
people of the world who inhabit
war-torn areas; he gave generously
of his material possessions in aid OF
all worthy causes. His friends came
from every station in life; their color,
financial or social status, OF religious
creed mattered not to him. He was
the Good Samaritan; distressed per-
sons always found in him a sympa-
thetic and helpful friend. The SIM
plicity and sincerity of his life pro-
foundly affected the life of his COM
munity.
Our dearly beloved believed in
the efficacy of prayer. The church
was his refuge and sanctuary, the
Temple of the Lord in which his
soul received spiritual nourishment.
He served untiringly and unselfish-
ly in Christ's name, leaving a touch
of God on the hearts of all who knew
him.

A TRIBUTE TO DR.. OHIO DOUGLAS HOOKER

/ We believe our loved ones many
friends would like to know that
when he realized his mission on
this earth was near fulfillment, he
told his devoted wife that he was
ready to meet his Savior, but that
he wanted to remain yet awhile lon
ger with her.
We shall always remember during
these last hours his steadfast cou-
rage; his ~reassuring smile and the
wave of his hand to his grieving wife
and children; his desire to comfort
his loved mes and to s their
grief and suffering.
1t is SO difficult for us to think
that our loved one is dead. His kind
spirit will always remain with us,
urging us ever so gently to live no.
norable, upright Christian lives. We
find great comfort in the sentiment
expressed by the poet, James Whit
comb Riley:
II cannot say, and / will not say
That he is dead. He is just
away.
With a CHEEKY smile, and a wave
of the hand
He has wandered into an
unknown land.
And left us dreaming how very
fair.
It needs must be since he lin
gers there
And you : 0 you, who the
widest yearn
For the old-time steps and the
glad return
Think Of him fairing on, as dear
In the love of there as the love
of here
Think of him still as the same,
I say
He is not dead-he is just away"
