Warrenton Arts Commission
To Sponsor Exhibition Sunday
The Warrenton Arts Commission
will sponsor an opening:
reception for three visual
artists on Sunday, Feb. 6, at
Warrenton's newly remodeled
Town Hall as a part of the
month-long celebration of
National \rt Appreciation. It
will be held from 3 to 5 p. m.
The reception will provide
the public a chance to meet the
artists and view the artwork at
the same time which encourages
an interchange between
the artists' view and the
public's opinion.
The three artists are Jean
Mclaughlin of Raleigh. Susan
Simmons of Warrenton and
Ruth Belaseo of Oxford. All
three artists are working in the
N. 0. Art Council's Third
Century Artist Program. Their
work will be on display at the
Town Hall during the reception
and Jean Mclaughlin's work
will be exhibited at Rranch
Banking and Trust for the
remainder of the month. Ruth
Belasco's drawings will be
exhibited at the First Citizens
Bank and Ms. Simmons'
paintings will remain at the
Town Hall.
All three artists have
exhibited widely across the
state. Ruth Belaseo graduated
from Appalachian State University
in Boone and has
exhibited in the Boone gallaries
and participated in the Autumn
Arts Festival in Henderson.
Her drawings are most often
still life or interiors. She works
with printmaking. sculpture
and weaving. She is teaching
art to adults and young people
as artist-in residence in Oxford.
One of her special projects for
this winter is organizing a
teenage art squad. Her sponsor
group as Third Century Artist
in Oxford is the Richard H.
Thornton Library.
Jean Mclaughlin is also a
Third Century Artist and
talented printmaker. Jean's job
is quite different from most
Third Century Artists. She has

Children Need
An Opportunity
For!Real Boredom
By MRS. BERTHA B. FORTE
Home Extension Agent
Maybe you've never thought
about it, but children need a
chance to be bored.
Of course they enjoy
stimulating activities, experiences
and playthings. But too
much stimulation can produce a
passive child—one who looks to
others for ideas and activities,
rather than coming up with his
own.
Some children demand frequent
fixes of excitement and
distraction. And many adults
work hard to keep these
youngsters constantly entertained.
But children can use
unplanned time too. Empty
hours can force them into
thinking up ways to entertain
themselves.
Bv keeping children entertained.
we deprive them of the
important mental exercise of
creating for themselves. A
bored child will usually look
around for materials to
discover and explore.
It adds up to this. Boredom
can lead to creativity.

Agriculturally Speaking
Variety Selection
Important To Crops
By L. B. HARDAGE
Exteaaioa Chairman
Selecting the variety or
varieties to best fit a grower's
situation is an important part of
growing a good crop of tobacco.
A grower should give major
consideration to the following
characteristics when making
his decision:
1 1. Disease resistance needed.
2. Yield potential.
3. Quality of cured leaf.
4. Number of ground suckers.
5. Gentral handling characteristics.
Growers should be cautious
of selecting any variety with
which they have had no
experience. A new variety
should be planted on a limited
scale the first year it is
available.
Consider a low cost fertilization
program.
The first step in developing a
fertilizer program for a given
field or farm should be to have a
soil analysis. Among other
things the soil test will
determine the need for lime and
give the soil phosphorus level.
The phosphorus level will
determine which complete
fertilizer ratio to use. For many
fields those with a medium or
higher phosphorus level a 1-1-3
ratio grade should be used. It
will probably cost about 15
percent less than a 1-2-3 ratio
and considerably less than a
1-3-3 ratio.
Generally, the higher analysis
grades such as 6-12-18 or
8-16-24 will cost less per acre
than the lower analysis grades
such as a 4-8-12 when used at
comparable rates. Also the high
analysis grades cost less to
handle and distribute.
Based on the needs of most
fields the nutrients can usually
be supplied at the lowest cost
by using enough complete
fertilizer to supply 35 to 40

pounds of nitrogen.
This quantity of com piste
fertilizer will usually supply all
the needed phosphorus and
potassium. Extra nitrogen can
be applied as a sidedressing to
bring the total nitrogen up to
the desired level.
For average condition* total
nutrients needed will be 60 to
75 pounds of nitrogen, 40
pounds of phosphorus and 100
pounds of potassium. If
.eaching occurs, additional
nitrogen and possibly potassium
will be needed for
adjustment. The cost of such a
fertilizer program will vary
considerably depending upon
sources of materials used but a
well planned program should
not cost more than $75 per acre.
