Plowing Soil Now Can
Eliminate Many Insects
By L. B. HARDAGE
Extension Chairman
One of the best and easiest
ways to eliminate many insects
in the soil is to plow the ground
now and let it lie fallow over
winter.
Don't attempt to smooth the
soil down in an even layer, but
let it lie rough as winter freezes
can kill many insects exposed
in the plowing. Add fertilizer
next spring before planting
is done.
NEWLY PLANTED
TREES AND SHRIBS
Any newly planted trees and
shrubs require a concentrated
dose of care the first few weeks
with plenty of water the first
year or two. A thorough soaking,
at least weekly, is necessary if
there is a lack of rainfall.
Apply water slowly, and insufficient
quantity to soak the soil
throughout the'root zone.
Should a few days of windy
weather occur, sprinkle the
foliage of broadleaf evergreens
occasionally to help prevent
excessive moisture loss from
the leaves.
When weather is cold, we all
tend to forget that plants may
need watering. Should the
ground be frozen, wait for a
mild period when soil thaws.
Perhaps In our sub-conscious
minds we think of them as being
stored away in a deep freeze
until the time of active spring
growth. However, plants do
need soli moisture even in
winter.
MAKE YOl R CHRISTMAS
JECORATIONS EVERGREEN
If you're using greenery for
Christmas decorations, you'll
be interested in this method
of preserving foliage for use
year after year. It's a big help
to have wreaths and centerpieces
"made up" and stored in the
attic to bring down for use
each December. This method
keeps leaves and stems flexible,
prevents drying out and
brittleness. It preserves any
thick "hard" leaves such as
holly, magnolia, gal ax, box"soft"
leaves as ferns.
Fill a large container, as a
deep pan or wash pot, with the
w4^666
least expensive radiator antifreeze
available. Cut greenery
in lengths that can be submerged
in the anti-freeze. Place
greenery in the anti-freeze and
weight down with bricks if
necessary. Set aside for two
weeks when leaves and stems
will have turned black. Glycerine
in the anti-freeze will
keep leaves leathery and pliable.
Then, remove foliage and
hang outdoors to dry. When
completely dry, spray with
green paint. Use any dark green
paint available in a preasurized
can . After paint * dries,
you are ready to incorporate
greenery into decorations.
Homemade Cookies Add
To Christmas Cheer
RALEIGH-Want to make a
merrier Christmas for that
special friend or relative In
service overseas?
A box of delicious homemade
cookies will bring him cheer.
Here's how to be sure the
Christmas cookies you bake will
arrive at their destination intact,
uncontaminated, and
flavorful.
First, suggest extension
home economics specialists,
North Carolina State University,
bake a type of cookie that
can take a lot of jostling. Thin,
crisp cookies are likely to
break in the mail, but those
high in moisture will remain
intact. Chopped dried apricots,
dates, or raisins, or candied
fruits in the recipe will help
cookies stay moist.
Pack the cookies carefully,
using small boxes or containers
inside a larger, sturdy
box. Line the smaller box or
can with foil or plastic wrap
to keep the moisture in.
If you're sending brownies
or bar cookies, cut them Into
sheets to fit the box. They
can be cut into bars after they
arrive.
Wrap drop cookies in pairs,
back-to-back, in foil or plastic
wrap. Stack tbe pairs lightly in
the can er box. When it's filled,
pack it inside the larger
box. Cushion with newspaper
or popped pop corn. Tape or
tie securely.
Special postal services are
available to speed your package
overseas. The service you
use will depend on your package's
size and weight- check
with your postmaster for
details.

Do-H-Yourself Has
Come To Carpeting
RALEIGH - Do-it-yourself
has come to carpeting. Carpet
tiles, that can bring wall-towall
warmth and luxury Into
your house, also eliminates
installation costs that go along
with broadloom, observes Mrs.
Edith McGlamery, extension
borne furnishings specialist,
North Carolina State University.
You do the work yourself,
she notes.
For the cost of a single carton
of carpet tUes, you can
try out a flooring In part of
a room. B you like the way
It looks, you can tvy enough for
the rest of the room.
V not, the tiles may be
removed easily. The adhesive
backing will take several applications
and removals without
losing its stlck-to-tt quality.
B your family is on the move,
the mobility of carpet tiles
could be a real boon, llrs.
McGlamery points out. The adhesive
holds lightly to the
floor; the tiles can be easily
lifted and re-applled elsewhere.
Carpet squares may low
their stick-to-it quality after
several applications. A squirt
of sprtjr-oa adhesive renew*
the stickiness, the specialist
soys.

Brunswick closed the season on
woodcocks because of high
levels of organic mercury
found In the birds, considerable
consternation was expressed In
the United States, and serious
thought was given to closing the
woodcock season in several
states.
Leslie Glasgow, Assistant
Secretary of the Department
of the Interior, however, has
recently Issued a statement to
the effect that closing the season
in the States will not be
necessary.
Tests of birds collected
in Maine, Massachusetts, and
other states showed considerable
mercury In woodcocks,
but so few people eat them,
and so few hunters kill them,
that there Is little danger to
human beings. Despite this, the
Secretary does not deny that
mercury compounds ire building
up In woodcocks and other
game birds and animals, or that
the levels can become dangerous.
It has taken several generations
for wildlife conservationists,
at both federal and state
levels, to realize that mass
annihilation of predatory birds
and mammals does more harm
than good.
North Carolina has never had
a predatory animal control as
such, but It was not until the
late 60s that all hawks and
owls, plus alligators, were
placed on the protected list.
Wildcats are still unprotected,
but state game workers make no
effort to destroy them except
occasionally on wildlife management
refuges.
Senator Gaylord Nelson,
Wisconsin, is one of a few
militant wildlife conservationists
In Congress, and recently
put some Interesting information
into the Congressional
Record. He pointed out
that every year, the federal
government spends $7 million
"to support a wildlife control
program in which a small army
of some 700 poisoners ranges
across vast tracts of public
lapds in the West, poisoning
Rod And Gun
>

and otherwise KUling preaaioi y
animals and rodents."
"Tfo» body count," Nelson
said, "of dead animals Including
rodents, Is In the millions
each year. Whole ecosystems
are being altered, with one
kind of predator replacing
another, or with entire species
disappearing in large areas, m
some areas, wildlife populations
reach such an unbalance
that a new poisoning program
Is needed to correct It."
Senator Nelson cited a 1963
report In which it was stated
that In a single year federal
exterminators destroyed: 842
bears; 20,780 lynx and bobcats;
89,653 coyotes; 294 mountain
lions; 2,779 wolves (mostly red
wolves mistaken for coyotes);
6,941 badgers; 1,170 beavers;
24,273 foxes; 7,615 opossums;
6,685 porcupines; 10,078 raccoons;
19,052 skunks; and 601
"miscellaneous" victims
(probably stray dogs and cats.) i
Astonishing as these figures
might be, what Nelson was getting
at was the effect predator
eradication has on the ecology
of the region Involved. For
example, when foxes and coyotes
were removed from an area,
there came an Immediate explosion
In the populations of
rabbits and rodents — the
natural foods of foxes and
coyotes. Rats, mice, ground
squirrels ate up the forage
crops and competed with range
livestock for grass. So what?
Well, the federal exterminators
had to be called In again
to carry on an expensive poisoning
program to bring the
rabbits, rats, mice, and ground
squirrels under control.
Granted, coyotes and other
predators made off wlU. occas
tonal lambs, calves, pigs, 1e<
and so on. But ranchers sc.*.
realized that this was a small j
price to pay for having predators
keep the pest animals
population under control, and
maybe even a few realized
that coyotes and foxes don't
poison the whole countryside In
doing so.
Say you saw it advertised in
The Warren Record.

unusual circumstances or
hardships which affect the family's
ability to pay for school

only for the purpose of determining
eligibility, he said.
Under the provisions of the

If a parent is dissatisfied
with the ruling of the Principal

'icted In accordance with
-dures as outlined In
statement.
11 jy also provides that
ther- 1 be no identification
or du imlnatlon against any
student unable to pay the full
