according to George D. Jones, Extension Service entomologist, a helicopter has been used for crop spraying. The whirlybird is pictured as it flew over the H. B. Ashley farm near Red Springs Saturday.

28 acres of the 90- acre job were done in 20 mijiutes, including- re-loading time, according to County Agent Otto Owens who points out that an added advantage of the helicopter is then down-thrust of its blades which flattens out the dust. The job was done to control heavy infestation of corn ear worms. Owens'says that the infestation is generally the heaviest in years and that there is a similar plague of cotton boll worms. Control recommended by Owens is a pound of actual DDT or two pounds of toxaphene per acre for cotton the recommendation is 10 percent DDT or 20 percent toxaphene when dusted or two to three pounds actual toxaphene and one to one and a half pounds actual DDT.

Tied up by this strike are the Maure- ania, the Britannic, the 9.379-ton Empress of Australia and the Ascania. In his fireside chat yesterday, 2den appealed to the striking railwaymen to go back to their jobs and end their "disastrous" walkout. "If we go on like this," he said, 'we shall smash up our hard earned prosperity." "There is little unemployment as yet. but you cannot stop most of the trains in a land like ours without soon bringing some factories to a halt," he warned. LONDON Of)--Britain's striking railwaymen today rejected Prime Minister Eden's broadcast back- to-work plea.

Their leaders accused the Conservative chief, returned to power in a general election less than two weeks ago. of getting a lot of his facts about the strike wrong. They said his appeal did nothing to change the situation. Eden warned in a nationwide broadcast last night that the nine day-old strike of 67,000 locomotive engineers, frremen and cleaners is pushing Britain toward an economic smashup. He appealed to the strikers to go back to work and then start negotiations again on their claim for more pay.

But Noel Pinches, president of the Associated Societ of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen, told newsmen today that Eden's appeal "will find no favor" with his union executives. Pinches claimed his union hac already called off one threatenec strike on Ihe promise of wage talks which did not reach agreement. Meanwhile, leaders of the striking stevedores union called a conference in London today to consider their next step in the costly walkout by 20,000 men which has partly up seven seaports for two weeks.

The longer the strike lasts, the more unemploy there must be in spite of all we can do." Eden warned that the walkout was also endangering Britain's vital export trade.

The settlement was expected to halt immediately widespread walkouts that idled 68,000 of Ford's 140,000 workers across the nation in the past 12 hours. The guaranteed wage plan is the iggest ever negotiated in Amerian industry. It may set the pattern for the entire automotive industry and per- laps other basic industries.

Armed with the Ford agreement, UAW went back to the bargaining table with General Motors today to press for a contract settlement there. The GM contract expires tomorrow. Walter of the CfO United Auto Workers Union emerged from a conference grin ning and told reporters: "Well, we've got an agreemenl fellows. It's a good agreement." Reuther called it "the largest economic package we've ever ne- gotiatd." He said the "package" was worth in excess of 20 cents per hour per employe. The average auto worker now earns about S2.10 an hour.

Reuther said the agreement provides a boost in Ford pensions to a maximum of 5241 a month, including social security. It also provides better hospital-medical benefits, he added. "The Ford package," he said, "contains the principles upon which we are going to build a guaranteed annual wage."
