WILD GEESE ARRIVING

Migratory wildfowl are arriving
at their winter homes in North
Carolina refugees, where they can
be seen by visitors until early
spring. At Pea Island Wildlife Re-
fuge, in the Cape Hatteras National
Seashore on North Cardinals Outer
Banks, there are many species OF
ducks and shore birds, as we'll as
Canada geese. Huge flocks of
Greater Snow Geese arrive in early
and remain at Pea Island
until after New Years. Gaddy's
Goose Refuge, private ope %
sanctuary near Ansonville, North
Carolina, is host to some 10000 to
$4,000 Canada geese between au-
tumn and spring. While at Gaddy's

EOQT-L1cIS tIIOuSAOht ttAS ~O0AASJ
are having different type pro-
gram this month. A colored film en-
titled 'tChanging Liberia is being
shown in series of meetings. This
film was produced by Firestone

This educational type film is get
ting good response by the 4-Hers

Liberia is a country in Africa

Independence. The country has set

Radiation Has Good Side in Plant
Breeding Work
Radiation is generally thought of
as harmful to humans but it has its
good side. 1t has been used to pro-
duce improved varieties of flowers,
q barley that will grow and mature
inside the Artic Circle, and on Hi
discus plant that thrives 1000 miles
farther north than the parent plant.
In the experimental stage is "a.
method to. prevent sproutiiig of
potatoes and onions to improve
their keeping qualities.
Turkeys In Good Supply
Thanksgiving season is near and
it seems that there will be plenty
of turkeys to go around. Turkey
growers are taking it on the chin
as their record crop, 26 per cent
above last year, comes to market.
Large feed companies make con-
tracts with turkey farmers, usually
guaranteeing the farmers small
profit for growing turkeys. This
has caused turkeys to be produced
in large numbers and has depressed
prices - good for housewives,
rough on the turkey farmer.
Scale Insects
Scale insects have been trouble
some in the county. There are many
species of scale insects, which dam
age ornamental plants. The "scale"
covering the insect may be cottony,
waxy, or mealy. If you have these
small cottony looking insects on
your shrubs or trees they are doing
damage. These insects pass through
three stages-egg, nymph, adult.
During the nymphal period the
scales move about on the plant. This
period is usually referred to as the
crawler stage. Once the yellowish
crawlers settle down and insert
their beak into the plant they can
not move again. The scales feed by
inserting, threadlike, mouth parts
into the plant.
For control of this pest, dormant
sprays are most effective in clean
ing up heavy scale infestation. They
can be used only when there is no
new growth on the plant. An appli-
cation of either oil or liquid Lime
Sulphur usually gives satisfactory
control.
Summer sprays will control these
insects in the crawler stage. Appli-
cations of Malathion spray is eff
fective.
A bulletin describing scale insects
and their control may be. obtained
at our office.

Who Needs the Rush Act?
By CHARLES YARBRoUGH

Those who might have been
disappointed and critical when
the opening date Of Dulles In
ternatiOnal Airport was moved
back about a year, might well
remember New YOrk'S Idlewild.
Half the size of Dulles and
started about 20 years ago,
Idlewild has just won a prize
and is still only rs per cent
operational.
The 4,900-acre facility Dul-
les is about 10000 has been
named the outstanding civil
engineering achievement of the
year by the American Society
Of Civil Engineers. The selec-
ton jury decided that the civil
engineering involved in Idle
wild is of a magnitude unprece-
dented in the history Of airport
planning, design and construc-
ton.
Dulles will be a long, long
way from completed" when it
opens for business at least a
year from now. AS originally
announced, the vast facility,
first in the world to be built
Evening star., 1961-03-08

from scratch as a civil jet base,
won't be completed until 1875.
Dulles is to cost in excess of
500 million. BY the end of
1860, the New York Port Au-
thority had spent 1928 million
on Idlewild.
There must be some irony
in the fact that the Chase
Manhattan Bank in New York
was one of the competitors in
the engineering award.
