Down on The Farm New Chemical Curbs Many Fruit Pests Tests Show Fungicide Effective in Orchard Characterized as effective against a wide range of fruit pests and dis eases, a new dinitro fungicide and insecticide for orchard use now is available commercially under the trade name of DN-289. It is a stable, clear solution containing eight ounces actual dinitro-secbutyl- phenol in each quart and is readily miscible with water. DN-289 has proved effective as an insecticide for use in the dormant period against a variety of insects such as rosy apple aphid, currant aphid, black cherry aphid, mealy plum aphid and viburnum aphid, eye-spotted bud moth, cherry case- bearer, pear psylla and oyster shell scale on apple and lilac. Promising results also have been shown in con trol of San Jose scale, scurfy scale and the eggs of the European red mite. As a fungicide, DN-289 has been used successfully for control of sooty blotch on pears. Amount of the compound required to attain good control ranges from There will be a discount of one (1%) per cent on taxes paid on or before October 31, 1948. On and after January 1st, 1949, the penalties pres by law will be imposed on unpaid taxes. You are requested to call for your taxes by schi tricts in which the property is located.

Progressive poultry raisers must keep attuned to the times if they are to meet the challenge of new developments in the industry. Within a short time the consumer will have a wide range of selection for poultry and meat products. This will necessitate bettpr merchandis ing on the part "of the individual poultryman. One of the principal means of meeting this challenge is for the poultry raiser to start selling chick ens under brand names in an effort to promote his product for the time when consumers again will be “choosy.” To accomplish this, good packag ing is essential. Modem transparent Good packaging, as demon strated by this cellophane-wrapped' chicken, is good advertising. packaging of ready-to-eat poultry will increase sales and profits. Tests conducted with the same grade of poultry, half being sealed in flexible packages, the others with out covering, proved that demand for the packaged birds was one to three times as large as for the un wrapped ones. For packaging, cellophane, trans parent regenerated cellulose film or a rubber hydrochloride film are avail able. They are moisture-proof, air proof, strong, flexible and resistant to liquid and grease. Pullets Termed Better Layers Than Old Hens Further evidence of the impor tance of keeping only pullets for layers and selling all old hens is contained in tests conducted at western Kentucky substation. Average results over 11 years show that annual production of Barred Rock pullets was four dozen eggs per bird greater than that of hens. In the case of White Leg horns, pullets laid three dozen eggs per bird more than old hena. Checking Equipment Will Pay Dividends Tractors Need Regular Servicing, Adjustment Periodic checking of tractors and other farm equipment la a timely precaution that will prevent serious delays in the field, assure safer oper ation of machinery and make farm work easier. Increasing the life of vital machine parts results in more units of useful production per machine and per part. This in turn means less cost per unit produced by the machine. A machine naturally wears out with Careful inspection of tractors rfid other farm equipment at reg ular intervals will increase effi ciency of the machinery. use. However, the rate of wear may be reduced greatly by a skillful operator who is exacting in his atten tion to adjustments for wear and for proper and systematic lubrications. A tractor in good repair, agricul tural engineers estimate, can oper ate on two to three less gallons of fuel than the tractor with faulty operation. Adjustments in the car buretor, governor, timing, mani fold and valves also will increase the efficiency. A careful check will disclose loose bolts and nuts as well as parts that need adjusting or replacing, thus eliminating the chance for costly breakdowns later. Every repair and adjustment should be made just as soon as the need is noted. Farmers also are advised to equip their tractors with fire extinguish ers and to provide secure holders for grease guns or other servicing tools carried on the machine. Loose accessories may cause falls or re sult in a tragedy. Hitchhiking Pests “Hitchhiking” insects, taking ad vantage of the frequency and speed of modern airplane flights, offer a continual threat to areas of the na tion now free from certain insect pests. A continual watch must be kept at airports in infested areas to assure that “hitchhiking” insects do not move from one part of the United States to another or leap easily across international bounda ries via the airplane. Last summer, inspectors of the bureau of entomology and plant quarantine intercepted the project ed flight of thousands of Japanese beetles trying to hitchhike by air plane from beetle infested airports in Washington, Baltimore, Phila delphia, New York and Newark. These beetles threatened to move into beetle free sections of the United States. Inspectors closely checked more than 7.500 airplane flights and su pervised the application of a thin film of DDT from aerosols over hundreds of commercial and mili tary planes. The beetles’ favorite food plants in the immediate vicin ity of the airports were sprayed, using mist blowers for the job. The summer’s program was the most comprehensive ever attempted to prevent beetle spread, and yielded the largest number of interceptions for any season since this type of control work became necessary. Production of Citrus Shows Steady Increase Production of citrus fruits in the United States has about doubled each 10 years of the last 40, a de partment of agriculture report indi cates, with prospects that the rec ord will continue to climb. California and Florida produce more than 90 per cent of the oranges. Florida and Texas account for 90 per cent of the grapefruit. Almost the entire commercial crop of lemons i* grown in California. ligger Fowl Contest Extended for Year Poultry Raisers Seek Heavier Farm Flocks Bigger and better drumsticks for “Junior” are sought in the national Chicken-of-Tomorro w contest, which will be extended through 1948. The decision to continue the event was made in response to demand from poultry raisers from coast-to-coast. Unlike popular reducing fads among the hen’s human counter parts, this barnyard project is' de signed to add weight to the farm flocks and to give American chicken A day-old chick perches on » model of the Chicken-of-Tomor- row, the objective in a nationwide contest extended through 1948. eaters more for their money. Poul- trymen from all parts of the coun try are joining in the hunt for a breeding formula which will add at least 10 per cent more meat to the present-day chicken. A higher per centage of meat on the bone structure and even meatier wings are sought, thus assuring “Junior” that no longer will only a skimpy ap pendage be left as his lot when the dinner platter arrives at his lowly place. The industry-wide' educational breeding contest originally was set up on a three-year basis, with two yeafs of state and regional contests culminating in a grand national championship this spring in Dela ware. Forty top breeders throughout the nation will send eggs to the finals, where they will be hatched and raised under identical conditions under supervision of the depart ment of agriculture. Winners will re ceive $7,000 in prizes awarded by A & P stores, sponsors of the con test. Expensive Alarm Why keep a rooster when an alarm clock is cheaper? That question is posed by Boyd A Ivory, Wyoming agricultural exten sion service poultry specialist. A rooster. Ivory points out, eats about $5 worth of feed a year at current prices. All you get in return, he in sists, is a lot of crowing—accom panied by NO eggs! A rooster is worthless in a poultry flock unless he is being used for breeding purposes in supplying fer tile eggs for hatcheries or home in cubation. Hens won't lay any more eggs than they are laying just because a roost er is on the premises, so why not sell that “crowing so-and-so”? Trade him for a $1.93 alarm clock that tells the time of day for the entire 24 hours and you’ll save about $3 in feed costs on the swap! Quality Chicks Needed To Offset Feed Costs One method through which poul- trymen can combat the present high cost of feed is to purchase good quality chicks. Feed costs, records compiled by the extension service indicate, now amount to 60 per cent or more of the total costs of producing eggs and chicken meat in contrast to 50 per cent in normal times. Tree 'Butchery' Blamed On Untrained Pruners It often takes 50 to 75 years to raise a good shade tree. But, exten sion foresters insist, it takes only a few minutes for an untrained pruner to ruin its beauty. Poor trim ming technique is destroying the beauty of many streets. Examples of good pruning are seen on most public building grounds. On the other hand, on al most any street examples cf tree “butchery” can be seen. the opening- of CIVIL ENGINEERING AND LAND SURVEYING OFFICE • Municipal and Topographical Surveys Land Surveys Estimates Given All Work Given Prompt Attention by Competent Engineers CAROLINA SURVEYING COMPANY Box 31 1113 Boyce St Phone 1014 THE BEST PLACE fOR r /< HFVROI ( 1 & Chevrolet Service Davis Motor Company 1515-1517 Main Street It’s Here!
