jcegislators In1834 and 1929

Legislatures improve withthe passing ol' the years, evenif human nature is more or lessthe same in all generations. Ina diary of a Massachusettsman, Ezra Towne, who lookedin on the Legislature at Raleighin 1834, says that he found thelegislators "a rather rough

looking set of men and unintel-ligent, the most of whom look-

\u25a0ed like they liked whiskey bet-ter than legislating," but with-ad "a pretty jolly set of menfond of talking." Legislators'pay was then $3 a day, but theypaid only $lO a month for theirboard. "Many members kepttheir brandy and whiskey bot-tles in their rooms," says the(diary, "and visit each other and

bottles pretty often."The world grows better, but

perfection is ahead. There is amarked reduction in "bottles,"and now people drink only tokeep oIT the "flu," whereas, ac-cording to Ezra, they had no

such excuse in 1834. Still asEzra says "legislators in 1834are fond of talking." Same wayin 11)29. l)o they talk betternow and on larger themes?News and Observer.

Follow the SeasonWith Garden Crops

Raleigh, March 18.?Time-loss, or planting the gardencrop according t its season, isone of the very satisfactoryways of having a good garden.

"This means planting eachcrop according to its climaticrequirements," says E. B. Mor-

Irow, extension horticulturistat State College. "Such cropsas english peas, raddishes, spi-nach, and lettuce require coolweather for their best develop-ment. Don't make the mistake

! of planting head lettuce so latethat the plants will go to seedinstead of producing heads.Strong plants should be ready

for setting now in most partsof the State. Lettuce also likesplenty of plant food and ifgood heads are wanted, the soilmust be rich. Side-dress thecrop with readily availablenitrogen, such as nitrate ofsoda, as soon as the plants havebecome established. This is alsoa good practice for early cab-bage and most of the otherleafy vegetables."

the past month.

i Those who have never growncarrots should make a smallplanting this year, says Mr.Morrow. The seed are plantedat the same time as the beetsand the Chantenay variety iswell-suited to Carolina condi-tions. The Long Season isprobably one of the best varie-ties of beets. It remains sweetand tender over a long periodand is primarily a home garden

' type.

Ventilating the hot bed onthe bright sunny days is impor-jtant. Mr. Morrow says thatwhere the hot bed has only poor

' ventilation, the plants will like-? ly damp-off at the ground or

tall leggy plants will be pro-duced. Vigorous, stocky plants

jare best for setting. Where

jthe tomato plants have begunIto crowd in the hotbed, trans-? fer them to the cold frame. Setthem -four inches apart/" and

. keep the frame covered at nightand on cold days.

Early and thorough prepara-tion of the soil also means muchlin getting the cantaloupes andwatermellons off to a good

! start. Both of these crops re-! spond to heavy applications of; stable manure. Three or fourjtons of manure per acre and a

; handful of superphosphate to| each hil! will give good results,says Mr. Morrow.

State Tobacco SalesTotaled 484,100,000

Raleigh, March 15.?The fin-

al sales reports indicate about.25,000.000 move pounds ol' to-bacco was produced in NorthCarolina than was estimatedeven in December at 475,000,-000 pounds. The warehousesactually handled about 484,-100,000 pounds, or 12,000,-000 more than the previousyear's record crop.

It is said that on the Dan-ville, Va., tobacco market fullyone-third of the sales are madeup of North Carolina produc-tion. Thus North Carolina hadapproximately 500,000,000

pounds of bright leaf tobaccoproduced within its borders forthe crop year of 1928.

Poisoned Wheat BranControls Cut Worms

IIlaleigh, March 18.?One of

the home gardner's most d«>-

structive enemies will shortlyappear with the coming of thetender garden crops and will

cause much damage unlessfought with a simple remedy.

"Wheat bran poisoned with

paris green and distributedabout the newly set plants atthe rate of 15 to 20 pounds per

acre has given us our best con-trol with cutworms," says C.11. Brannon. extension entomo-logist at State College. "Thebait is made up by using fiftypounds of the bran to one poundof paris green and addingenough water to thoroughly

moisten the mixture. Leadarsenate and calcium arsenatedo not give good results andare not used. The bran andpoison is first mixed thorough-ly while dry in a tub or othervessel and then gradually mois-

tened with water until all thebran is damp."

This poisoned mixture shouldbe wet enough to crumble read-ily when squeezed with thehand but should not be a softmush, cautions Mr. Brannon.It is best to use the hands formixing, though a paddle maybe used. Do not breathe any ofthe poison if possible and thehands and arms should be fre-

quently washed with a portion'on which the average price isbased. Greenville has the mostwarehouses (nine) with Wilsonand Winston-Salem tying witheight each.

Greenville and Wilson mark-ets together increase theirfarmers' sales by almost 17.-000.000 pounds, which is isizeable quantity for two med-ium markets to sell together.

Mebane's $22.08 averageprice led the state. FuquaySprings came second. Thesetwo markets usually hold lirstplaces. Greenville led on the10,000.000 pound class markets.The state average was $18.78for li>2B and $22.00 for theprevious season's total sales.This indicates slightly morethan these averages for the ex-clusive farmers' sales.

There was an increase of twohouses shown in the 151 oper-ating during the past season.The average per house wasabout 0.200,000 pounds. The 4:1markets averaged 11,280,000puonds. The old bright beltsold 156,777,577 pounds at anaverage of $18.15. The new(eastern) belt handled 280,737,-672 pounds, averaging l $20.03for the farmers' sales, whilethe Smith Carolina belt, includ-ing markets in Columbus.Bladen and Roberson counties,sold 43,584,614 pounds at $14.18per hundred weight.

The total, including resales,amounted to 536,984,236 pounds

In the demonstrations whereMr. IJrannon has used this mix-ture with success, he has ap-

I plied the bait several days be-fore the plants are set or at thelatest on the same day. Thjapplications are made late in

;the evening so that the baitwill be fresh and attractivewhen the worms become active.In applying the bait, caroshould be exercised not tothrow it upon the plants oragainst the stems. This baitwill continue to be effective forseveral days but should be re-peated iit once after a heavyrain, says Mr. lirannon.
