Garry Henry ^AjWresses Pembroke Kiwanis met Tuesday evening with Theo dore Maynor as Program Chairman. Jim Pad! introduc ed Garry Henry, PSU senior from Adelaide. Australia, who has the honor of being NALA AII-American Track Man twelve times. This is the second time Garry has spoken at Kiwanis. Garry remarked that when he speaks here, everyone says he has an Australian accent, but when he goes home his folks think be has acquired a Southern accent. Australia has no college athletics which . is one of the reasons he decided to come to America. The public school system in Australia consists of primary grades 1 through 6 and high school which is a six-year school. Very few of his classmates went on to college. His first job was in a Bank in Adelaide and it was while he was employed there that he was offered a scholarship by Track Coach, Dr. Crain of PSU. AU5USI1I SCCUIS IU UC JJCI* ting more like America. The government has a two-party system, the Liberal Party and the Labor Party. The latter most closely resembles the Democrat Party in the United States. When you become 18 years of age, you must vote or pay a fine of twenty dollars. The seasons of the year in Australia are just the opposite of ours in America. Right now Australia is having its sum mer weather. The principal crop is wheat and cattle raising is also very prominent. Other questkms asked by the audience were about kaagaroos-wbkh are wild an imals and are not domestica ted. The Aborigines live in the desert area of Australia. Thi crime rate is low since the population of the entire coun try is only 40 mill ton, with only 5 major cities. The police are very strict concerning alcohol and driving. The penalty for drunken driving is six months in prison. The music heard in Australia is similar to what is heard in America-country music, rock music and opera at the Opera House in Adelaide. Petrol or gasoline is sold in the metric system with one liter about the same price as an Ameri can gallon. Australia produ ces most of its own oil. Visiting the meeting was Bahnson Barnes of the Lum berton Kiwanis Club. John L. Carter attended a meeting of the Cape Fear Council of the Boy Scouts in Bladenboro and was presen ted the Achievement Award to the Pembroke Kiwanis Club for its support of the National Jamboree in Wash ington, D.C. He was also personally presented a pen and pencil desk set in recog nition of his excellent work in behalf of the National Jambo ree. m _t_ riaques were aiso presen ted to Adolph Dial, past president of Pembroke Ki wanis; Lankford Godwin, Se cretary; and Albert Hunt, Treasurer.

LRDA Receives Energy Grant The U.S. Community Set. vice Administration has awarded the Lumbee Region al Development Association a $13,000 Low Income Energy Assistant Block Grant. According to Bobbie Ann Ox en dine, Energy Coordina tor for LRDA's Low Income Energy Assistance Program, this grant will be used to help low income Indian households cope with inflated fuel coats, for emergency energy assis tance, and for weatheruation of the homes. Because of limited funds, and resources and the high demand. LRDA will assume 50 percent of the pverall energy assistance coats. The eligible recipient will be ex pected to pay the balance. Low income Indian house holds not receiving the one time energy assistance pay ments in February sponsored by the North Carolina Low Income Energy AsslHMce Program under the Robeson County Department of Social Services will be given prrfr rente < For further information, please contact Bobbie Ann Oiendine at 521-8664 Senior Q'tizens Integral Part of LRDAActivities The New Point Senior CM zeno are shown meeting with representatives front Inmhee ANA (Administration for Native Americans) is a com ponent of Lumbee Regional Development Association, Inc.

Wilkersnn J EXTENSION SCENE | Nwth Cnhi I AGRICULTURAL in lut wee* * coramn i taked about acid soils and the term "pH." Since we have established the fact that pH refers to the degree of acidity of a soil, 1 shall share with you in more detail in this column the conditions that actually cause acid soil and how soil acidity is corrected. In the more arid sections of the county, acid soils are no problem. In fact, many of the soil problems in those more arid regions are because of the alkalinity of the soil. Thus, one can quickly formulate the opinion that if alkaline soils are a problem in arid cli mates, then acid soils could be expected to be a problem in more humid regions where rainfall levels are significant. Certainly, the latter best describes our area. As abundant percipitation moves through the soil, it carries dissolved nutrients through the root zone and into areas below. This percolation of water through the soil and its subsequent picking up and carrying nutrients out of the root zone is called leaching. Certainly, leaching is a word that all farmers find quite familiar. In addition to leaching, growing plants also remove calcium and magnesium from the soil. These two element are then replaced by hydro-' gen and aluminum. Since calcium and magnesium are highly basic materials, their replacement by the highly acid-forming hydrogen and aluminum ions results in increased soil acidity. Also the use of acid-forming ferti lizers contributes to soil acid ity. Naturally, if the loss of calcium and magnesium from the soil particles causes soil acidity, then the addition of these two elements would be expected to remove some of the acidity from the soil. This is exactly what will happen when calcium and magnesium is added. These two materials gener ally are applied in the form of a finely ground dolpmitic limestone. Dolomitk simply means that the limestone contains both calcium and magnesium., h is important to remember that many lime stones that are available are calcific and contain no mag nesium. While these materi als are generally cheaper and are essentially as effective in correcting soil acidity, it is important that relatively large quantities of magnesium be applied to the soil also. Therefore, in making recom mendations, we always en courage farmers or home gardeners to refer to a soil test report to determine if the present levels of magnesium that are available in the soil will actually allow for the more economical application of calcific limestone. fcven though liming is ? relatively universally accep ted practice, it is important to follow recommendations and to apply no more liming materials than is needed. Over liming1; especially on sandy soils of the type in our area that are low in organic "matter, can reduce yields significantly on some crops by severly reducing the avail ability of some nutrient ele ments. While the macro elements of nitrogen, phos phorus, potassium, sulfur, calcium, and magnesium are readily available in the 6-7 pH range, elements such as iron, manganese, and boron become much less available as pH levels near 6.0. Perhaps one of the best examples of manganese defi ciency and its relation to pH levels is the observation that one may make when passing overtimed in tone ucti The characteristic yellowing of the plants in localised spots throughout the field is gene rally indicative of a manga nese deficiency. i tius. while liming U inn portent, it is equally ns important to understand the availability ot nutrients and to also udnerstand that while a certain amount of lime may be needed very badly, an exces sive amount of lime can create problems in plant growth that ' may be equally as bad as the problems caused from the lack of liming. In other words, one should determine the amount of lime that is needed and the pH level of the sell prior to making any appli cations of lime.
