Inc witch doctor, known also as
"unyanga," is charged with the
business of making strong magic
("mtakati") so that his team will
win. For such doings he gets a
retaining fee of from 10 to IL
pounds (about $28 to $33.6O) a
month.
His work is always done the
night before the game when, arm
ed with a cows horn containing
"umuti" (medicine), he smears
the goal-posts, cross bar, boots
and uniforms Of the players. The
next day, he completes his chores
by rubbing the medicine on the
legs of each team member.
The magic is supposed to work
this way: On The day OF n game,
supporters of opposing teams take
their seats, keeping clear of their
rivals for fear of a spell being in
voked upon them to make their
side lose.
The teams enter the playing area
from separate points, being GER
tain not to tread where their RI
walls have walked, again for fear
of being contaminated by the

Well or his way to being named
the player of the year, Sherman
White has been dropped from
Looks 1851 All-American Team.
Both White and Leroy Smith of
Long Island University, among the
confessed guilty in the recent
New York gambling expose, had
been rated highly by the 43O top
sp~ortswriters and spo~rtscasters
who selected the team.
1t was announced today that
bill Garrett, ace of Indiana's fine
squad, had won a spot on Looks
second team. Garrett, the Key
offensive man in Indiana's fast
breaking attack, has been touted
this week as one of the speediest
men in the Big Ten. Although
only six feet two and a half inches
tall, short by today's "goon"
standards, Bill was an outstand-
ing defensive player and rebound
er.

The magazine emphasizes its

jority of college boys are honest.
"Nevertheless'', warns Look

TOO EARLY FALL PLANTING
POOR PLAN FOR CABBAGE
By ROBERT SCHMIDT

l passed field of cabbage the
other day that showed a rather
large percentage of flower stalks
where good heads should have
been. One of the most common
causes of this condition is plant
ing seed in outdoor plant beds too
early. Cabbage seed should not be
sown before October in eastern
North Carolina and not earlier
than September Is in the Pied
mont. Sometimes severe winter
weather such as we had this year
may cause premature flower stalks
but in some field plant beds we had
this year that were seeded early in
October we have had a very small
percentage of flower stalks. A poor
strain of seed sometimes may be
the cause of the trouble. Then
again there are differences in va
riety. For example, the Copenhag-
en- Market variety has proved to
be a very poor variety for sowing
in outdoor plant beds in the fall of
the year. Sometimes this variety
will give 100 per cent flower stalks
in the spring. On the other hand,
Early Jersey Wakefield, Charles
ton Wakefield, and Ferry's Round
Dutch do not bolt very readily.
The bugs are with US again and
must be controlled before they do
serious damage if we are going to
have high quality vegetables. The
Mexican bean beetle has started
early. The best control is a per
cent rotenone dust applied to the
under sides of the leaves as soon
as the beetles appear. Cryolite will
control them also, but must not be
used after the pods set because
it is poisonous to human beings
and animals. Rotenone dust will
also control the green cabbage
worm which often damages young
cabbage heads so they are unfit to
eat. Flea beetles, potato beetles
and leaf hoppers may be controll-
ed with DDT. If you planted any
eggplants you must control the po-
tato beetles or they will destroy
the plants. They just love egg
plants. For further information on
garden insect and disease control,
write to the Agricultural Editor,
State College Station, Raleigh, and
ask for the circular Garden
