Like the other institutions of this kind, Pres byterian college has had its diffi culties. Now the institution's host of friends and admiriers are gratified that some of these difficulties have been eliminated and that it has been returned as a fully accredited mem ber of the Southern Association ot' colleges and Secondary Schools. Endowment requirements have been more than met and the institu tion is debt-free. Presbyterian col lege is therefore in position to go forward and make an even larger contribution to independent educa tion, which is one of the founda tion stones of democracy. Warmest congratulations are ex tended to the college.—The Green- vill News. MASONS TO MEET A rqgular communication of Campbell Lodge No. 44.

It may be a temptation to use DDT in order to keep your dairy herd looking as sleek and contented as these animals, bat authorities warn against it. years. They say presence of the chemical in milk would be con trary to the food, drug and cos metic act. The entomologists now recom mend methoxychlor, another effec tive insecticide, be substituted for DDT to control insect pests on dairy cows. Federal entomologists make no change in their recommendations 1 for the use of DDT in controlling I insect pests on other livestock, in cluding beef cattle. The department’s entomologists, chemists and veterinarians, coop- erating in the investigation of the ; toxicology of LDT and other in- ’ secticides, say the application of DDT diredlly to milk cows for con- ^ trolling insects results in the pres ence of small quantities of the in secticide in the milk. They say al- , so that DDT in small quantities , can be detected sometimes in milk i following ordinary use of the in secticide for fly control in dairy ! barns. i The bureau of entomology and : plant quarantine has repeatedly i cautioned that forage treated with | DDT and other chlorinated hydro- ; carbon insecticides should not be fed to dairy animals or to live- I stock being finished for slaughter. A number of new insecticides are under investigation by federal en tomologists for controlling insects : on cdws and in dairy establish- i ments.

ADAIR, Manager |ji n The leaves on corn plants tell whether the crop is well fed or starved. That can make a lot of difference at the harvest. For only well fed corn can produce high yields, well filled kernels and good quality ears. Growers should take a little time to examine those corn leaves in the field. Healthy, well fed corn is a deep, dark green. Any other color spells trouble. It means that the corn plant is starving for one or more of the three plant nutri ents—nitrogen, phosphate or pot ash. Figure 1 in the illustration shows a typical case of nitrogen hunger. The signs show first at the tip then spread to the midrib of the lower leaves. The middle of the leaf turns yellow and dies. Figure 2 illustrates potash star vation. It shows on the tips and edges of the leaves. These turn yel low and later look scorched. Corn hungry for potash has weak roots and'stalks. It lodges easily. Potash starvation signs can appear at any stage of the corn’s growth. Bam Hay Driers Attract Attention of Many Farmers Bam hay driers have been at tracting a lot of attention recently ; and many farmers are reported thinking of installing equipment in order to assure themselves of high er-quality hay. Usually any information desired on techniques or equipment for this work can be obtained from the lo cal county farm agent, or from ex tension service specialists at the various state universities. in Di xie- Ho mes* VERI-BEST PRODUCE it’s CONDITION Look - Examine - Compare!
