On the way to the office last
Friday morning, 1 was think
ing about what can 1 do my
column on this week, since I
normally write this column on
Friday before it is published
the following week. As the
thought crossed my mind. I
thought, well I can make some
comments about the many
agribusiness firms and their
representatives that stop bv
the Extension Office and who
cooperate so well in our
educational programs. Also,
mention could be made about
the number of educational
meetings that they hold in
Robeson County and that they
extend special invitations to
the farmers and to the appro
priate Extension agents. A
good example was last week
when Everett Davis and I
attended a special get ac
quainted and fact finding
meeting that Rohm and Haas
was conducting at Johnny
McArthur's farm at Wakulla.
The very next night Larry
Locklear. who is a regular
through the Extension Office,
held a special cotton produc
tion meeting in his role as
representative for Ciba Geigy
Corporation.
But I thought, well that
won't really make a column,
so 1 refelected upon some of
the problems that had been
encountered during the past
week. Well, they were just
simply too numerous to give
any detail on. So 1 thought,
well, lots of our hog producers
have been experiencing prob
lems with leg weakness and
general skeletal weakness and
these problems have been
coming from an improper
calcium-phosphorus balance
in the rations that they are
using. But, that problem is so
specific that it would hardly
apply to enough readers who
would be interested in the
calcium-phosphorus ratios in
swine feeds and the effect
that it has on the reproduction
performance and overall effi
ciency of a swine operation.
So on to something else.
Then the thought arose that
there was a tremendous re
iu a rewiu cuiuiiui
regarding fertilizing fish
ponds and folks needing
additional information relat
ing to fish ponds. Thus, I said,
since we had gotten such a
response and a fairly large
number of people seem to
need to know where to obtain
fish from, that I need to
tell all the folks that they can
make application for bream
and bass at the local Soil
Conservation Service Office or
the Extension Office. Then
the bream will be delivered in
the fall with the bass being
delivered in the spring. Also,
it seemed appropriate to
share that we recommend for
fertilized ponds, the stocking
of 1,000 bream per surface
acre plus an additional 100
large mouth bass for the same
surface acre.
Well, that information
seems quite appropriate, but
that in itself will not fill the
space of a column. So as I
walked into the office, I saw
a brand new arrival of bullet
ins entitled Carofina Lawns.
Then I knew I had it. Since
a daily course of calls regard
ing lawns, lawn improvement,
and selection of appropriate
grasses for quality lawns, 1
knew that 1 had the answer to
filling a column this week.
However, as I walked to my
office, I found on my desk a
group of brand new publica
tions that had just come from
the Extension printing press
es at N.C. State. Then I
thought, just a minute, let me
look through these and see if
there's not even somethng
that would be better to put in
the column than some com
ments about lawn care. Sure
enough, there was enough
1
information in those bulletin*
to provide resource informa
tion for 25 columns. Well,
the problem began all over
again. What am 1 really going
to do this column on?
Then, I reviewed a new
pamphlet entitled Petpsuwf of
Hams Car* Ideas. This little
pamphlet gave some excellent
information on rust being the
number one enemy of iron
and how to control rust on
iron cook ware. It suggested
that to remove light rust, one
would need to scrub with
number one naught (0) or two
naught (00) steel wool or wire
brush. Most rust buildup can
be removed with persistent
scrubbing. It also said that
there are a number of com
mercial rust removers avail
able. These can be applied
according to the product
directions and to be sure and
check the action of the cleaner
on the metal itself. It caution
ed that extensive etching or
pitting can occur if the
solution stays on too long.
It further stated that to
deter rust buildup on decora
tive pieces use a rust retard
ant paint. These paints come
in a variety of colors as
many people are well aware.
Also, for best results, be sure
the item is dry and rust free
before painting. A clear, flat
acrylic spray can also serve as
a rust retard ant finish. It
again suggested that one
apply these according to
product directions. Well, I
knew that we were going to
order 100 copies of this little
bulletin for anyone who would
like to use it, so the thought of
doing an entire column from
this resource information re
lating to the care of alumi
num, brass and copper,
butcher blocks, ceramic tile,
chromium, et cetera just
didn't seem evitable, since
anyone could receive a copy at
the Extension Office.
"Then, 1 glanced at another
piece of information that we
will be mailing to all of the
individuals who participated
in the Farmers Market last
year, and it is entitled Insect
Control for Vegetable Gar
deners. This pamphlet con
tains control information on
more than 25 major insect
pests as well as ways to deal
with 75 or more insect forms
that can exist in one's garden.
Thus, again 1 knew that the
information contained in that
pamphlet was simply too
voluminous to provide any
recommendations in a column
yet, it will be available
without charge at the Exten
sion Office.
Then, finally I knew that I
had hit on a.beautiful column
id?a when I reviewed some
information on the pollination
of vine crops. But following all
of these comments and some
of the recommendations that 1
have already given, this co
lumn is already getting too
long. So be sure to read this
column next week when I
share with you information on
pollination and its importance
to food production.

MRS. BAZIE HARDIN
The American National In
surance Company sadly an
nounces the disability of thier
District Manager, I. L. Tes

We are temporarily losing a

health and his family are of
more importance, and was the
number one consideration in
1 this decision.

good years in Pembroke

$400.00 M.D.O. per debit.
This psst year he helped
qualify two of his agents for
the Sydney Convention. In the
three years that Mr. Teseniar
spent in Pembroke, the dis
trict M.D.O. premiums in
creased over 60%, a truly
remarkable record.
May each and everyone of
you extend him sincere hope
far his Improved health and
early return to the region.
Thanking you in advance for
your prayers.
