Tree Ranting Begins Special tree planting activities taking place on a few acres of land belonging to the James Roy Winslow Estate of Hobbsville, North Carolina promise to play a part in providing private landowners of this state with genetically improved lob lolly pine seedlings. For the past 15 years ana more, wood industry, the North Carolina Forest Service and N. C. State University had worked hand in hand systematically developing a forest genetics program to produce a superior stock of seedlings. This program has been spear headed by Dr. Bruce Zobel, a professor at N. C. State University. Specially trained foresters and technicians have applied concepts of genetic im provement to pine trees to develop superior strains, much in the same way farmers select for high producing vegetables and grains. These “super seedlings” will eventually be planted on cutover pine woodlands of private land owners in North Carolina. It was explained by County Forest Ranger Roger Spivey, that the N.C. Forest Service, with the permission and the help of James Roy Winslow has established a progeny testing area. “The seedlings planted here represent the offspring of individual trees presently in our seed farms which have been selectively crossed” stated Countv THE CHOWAN HERALD Ranger Spivey. "The nursery selects the parents of the offspring tor using the technique of controlled pollination. Each seedling is identified with a metal tag and carefully planted on a specified testing design. This test area will be monitored over the next 15 i years with important measurements recorded, after the 4th and Bth growing season. From the in- j formation collected the tree ! parents which have produced the poorest off- ; spring will be selectively j removed from our seed farms while those exhibiting substantial genetic im- ' provement will be selected for the establishment of a new seed farm”. Through a program of parent tree selection, grafting, controlled pollination, and progeny testing, the N. C. Forest Service is doing their part to help produce tree seedlings with outstanding inborn characteristics of tree growth, insect and disease resistence, and other desirable traits. Producing tree seedlings that grow faster, taller, straighter, and with more pest resistance is a challenge but one that industry, the N. C. Forest Service, and N. C. State University has ac cepted. Test plots such as the one of the estate of James Roy Winslow can result in rewards for the future tree farmers of this state and ultimately for consumers of tree products. PARTICIPATE IN QUILT SYMPOSIUM Pictured above are Mrs. Wilburn Smith, Mrs. Woodrow Lowe, Mrs. Worth Hare and Mrs. Jarvis Skinner dressed in colonial costume as they participate in a quilt symposium held at Meredith College last week. Quilt Symposium Is Held The Advance Extension Homemakers Club of Chowan County recently participated in the North Carolina Quilt Symposium a{ Meredith College in Raleigh. Four members of the club, dressed in Colonial Costumes, quilted a quilt as part of the public exhibit which began Thursday and ended Sunday. Those members were: Mrs. Wilburn Smith, Mrs. Woodrow Lowe, Mrs. Jarvis Skinner and Mrs. Worth Hare. About 200 people from 14 states, District of Columbia and one foreign country participated in the quilt symposium which was sponsored by the N. C. Museum of History, the Capital Quitters Guild, Meredith College, Mordecai Square Historical Society and Raleigh Fine Arts Society. The N. C. Quilt Sym posium was one of 77 groups Mr. Speaker One of the most complex issues to confront the General Assembly in this session involves the proposed salary and fringe benefit increases for teachers and other state employees. After two meetings with the staff of the President’s Wage and Price Council in Washington, I, along with House and Senate leaders and members of my staff, carefully analyzed the text of the guidelines, as well as the actions taken by our neighboring states to in crease their state em ployees’ compensation. Having been satisfied as to what benefits and in crements were permissible under the federal guidelines, we reviewed the projections of anticipated tax revenues for the General Fund in the coming two fiscal years. Based on this information and current inflation statistics, we have con cluded that we can provide for teachers and state employees a 5 per cent across-the-board salary increase on July 1. Further, we plan to provide a one time special bonus of S2OO in November, to all employees who were on the State payroll as of November 1, 1978. By postponing the payment of this S2OO bonus until November, 1979, the total salary increase occurs over a period that spans two fiscal years. At no time will the increase received by teachers and state em ployees exceed 7 per cent in either this fiscal year or the next. Not including the fringe benefits (e.g. longevity and merit in creases) already budgeted, the compensation package will total approximately 6.5 percent. , , To fund this pfltn will require sound fiscal judgment and respon sibility, but I am confident that these funds will be appropriated. These recommendations represent a reasonable and workable compromise. We have effectively put mom money into the bands of our teachers and itsu AaH throughout the state awarded grants by the N. C. Arts Council, a section of the Department of Cultural Resources. Money for these grants was provided by the N. C. Assembly and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency in Washington, D.
