INDUSTRIAL BANK OF DANVILLE "The Friendly Bank" Danville -Martinsville MEMBER FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION Opportunities In State for Stock Raising Virginia Does Not Raise Enough Horse And Mule Replacements BLACKSBURG, March Virginia does not raise the number of replacements she requires in horses and mules on the farm, a Virginia Tech specialist said today, and there is some opportunity for such stock to be raised in the state Virginia producers also might compete to some extent for sales in other states, George C.

Herring, animal husbandman, said, in addition to supplying this state's needs. Most of such stock raised in the state is produced in the blue grass regions of the Shenandoah Valley and the southwestern counties, while In the peanut -cotton of the the heaviest users of work, stock are southeastern counties. The trend in numbers of horses and mules has been rapidly downward since about 1918, except for a slight increase within the past two or three rears. Meanwhile, work stock has been aging, and reports from some sections of the state show that there were not enough colts, even though their numbers have increased, to keep pace with the decrease in old animals. Herring said the market for mules was somewhat better than for horses because mules wre preferred to the cotton producing areas of the south, where mechanized farming had displaced work animals less rapidly than in the western states, where more horses were used.

The latest report of the Virginia cooperative crop reporting service showed that on Jan. 1, 1939, there were an estimated 167,000 horses on the farms in Virginia, at an average value of $117 per head and a total value of $19,481,000, and that there were 95.000 mules. at an average value per head of $148 and a total value of $14.063,000.

Naval Intelligence service last year, Gorin, manager of a Soviet travel bureau, his wife, Natasha, and Salich are on trial accused of purveying naval intelligence secrets to the Russian government. It was Salich's claim, Dierst said. that the only information he sold concerned a "common enemy," Japan. The G-man testified Salich gave this account of his "partnership" with Gorin: In need of money to meet alimony payments to his estranged wife, Salich received an offer to "help out" from Gorin in February, 1938.

"Gorin reiterated his need for news of Japanese activities. I said I didn't see how anything I might learn in Los Angeles might help. He answered that there always was the possibility of some local angles having to do with possible Japanese espionage in Russia." The two agreed to exchange information of Nipponese affairs for their countries' "mutual benefit," but instead of data-in-kind, the naval investigator was given a -total of $1,700 by Gorin. Once when Salich offered Gorin information regarding Herman Schwinn, California German Bund leader, the Russian declared: "Lay off the Nazis. They are covered by a 'special Among the reports taken by Gorin from naval files were some on the activities of Japanese-operated fishing boats in American waters.

ENVOY FROM SPAIN STILL CLAIMS POST Embassy Remains Open Although Representative Sees End Of Term WASHINGTON, March 1-(P)- Senor Don Fernando de Los Rios Ute ruti looks at you with sharp, intellia gent black eyes and says: "I am still the Spanish dor." But as says it he does not know how long he will hold the position. With Britain and France having recognized the government of General Franco and with the state department studying what the United States should do, Senor de Los Rios probably considers his term as ambassador about over.

But if he does. he says nothing about it. He says the Spanish embassy 16 still open, and he will keep it open until circumstances force him to do otherwise. If the United States recognizes the Franco regime, Ambassador De Los probably will remain in this country.

Apple Growers About Tree Scraping Should Be More Careful In Fight To Reduce Coddling Moth Pest BLACKSBURG, March -Apple growers in scraping old bark off their trees to reduce the coddling moth pest should pay more attention to the branches than they have in the past, A. M. Woodside, assistant entomologist of the Virginia agricultural experiment station, said today in reporting an inch-by-inch examination of 16 heavily infested trees last season. Part of the trees were unbanded, while on others had been placed bands of corrugated paper a as traps for the worms. Some of these bands had been treated with a chemical mixture to cause the death of the worms, and others were untreated checks.

Both types of bands held more than two-thirds of the worms and cocoons on the banded trees. On unbanded trees, however, 73 per cent of worms and cocoons were found in the branches--much more than on either the trunks or crotches. "Growers who scrape their apple trees ordinarily give most attention to the scraping of the trunk, and little to any but the limbs." Mr. Woodside said, "if conditions in the orchard where the 16 trees were examined is typical, about threefourths of the worms on the older trees will be found on the branches. Therefore more careful scraping of the smaller branches is advisable." More than half of the worms on the branches were in pruning wounds, cracks in dead wood, splintered stumps of broken stems and other such openings, he pointed out.

Of 361 worms and cocoons found in one tree, more than 200 were in dead wood around pruning scars and broken branch stumps. While birds often capture the worms which attempt to over -winter under loose bark, they are unable to get at those which hide themselves in relatively deep More care in pruning and in 1 removing stumps of broken branches should "pay big dividends in reducing the hiding places for worms and in making control measures more effective." Woodside said. In order to make the count of worms in the trees the entomologist had to spend days going over every inch of bark, from ground-line to tiptop branches, removing loose bark and probing each crack. He found an average of 105 worms and cocoons to each unbanded tree. There were an average of 118 on each banded tree, but about 86 of them were caught in the bands and EYELETS! Mrs.

PROBE NAZI ESPIONAGE IN MEXICO Hunt For Mysterious Radio Transmitter Linked To Spy Inquiry MEXICO CITY, March Mexican press today linked the hunt for a mysterious, unlicensed radio transmitter to an investigation of socalled German espionage in which newspapers said the brother-in-law of the police chief of Berlin was detained. Among eight persons taken unto custody Monday was a man identified in the press as Baron Hans Heinrich von Holleufer, related by marriage to Count Wolf Heinrich von Helldorf, Berlin police head. The German legation announced it had intervened through the Mexican foreign relations office to obtain stay in deportation proceedings against Baron von Holleufer.

He came here in 1931 as a refuge from pre- Nazi Germany and remained the representative of several German firms. Informed sources said those detained with the baron were "mostly Germans." Their detention followed disclosure that an unregistered short wave radio transmitter was operating in a Mexico city suburb. Communications department officials were said to have picked up the strongest signals in the vicinity of the Spanish cemetery on the outskirts of the city. At the same time it became known that Pablo Garbinsky, advertising manager of a Jewish weekly newspaper here, had been taken to Veracruz for deportation, charged with falsifying birth records for various persons admitted to Mexico, presumably Jews. Whether there was any connection between his arrest and the detention of the others was not disclosed.

Official sources maintained considerable secrecy but hinted other arrests might be forthcoming. only 32 worms and cocoons were found up in the branches and other hiding places. The bands, as Dr. W. J.

Schoene, experiment station entomologist. points out, act as traps. Leaving the infested fruit, either before or after it drops to the ground, the worms seek a hiding place on the tree, where they may spend the resting (or pupal) stage. of them emerge again the same season and lay their eggs, and others spend the winter in crevices on the tree. Reaching the band around the tree, however, they settled down under its corrugated surface.

Dr. Schoene says that if a treated band is tacked to one side of the tree and an untreated band around the other half of the tree's circumference, around 70 per cent of the worms which are caught will be in the treated section. In his opinion, this indicates that the treated band does not act as a repellent, and actually is a more effective wormkiller than the untreated band.
