Practices Affect Yield
Fertilizer injury is one of the
major causes of poor stands and
irregular growth of flue-cured
tobacco, according to North
Carolina State University agricultural
extension crop specialists.
Placing the fertilizer too
close to the roots is the primary
cause of injury. The NCSU
specialists say that tests and
grower experience over a long
period of time indicate that best
results are obtained when the
fertilizer is placed three to five
inches from the roots.
Four methods of application
have been studied on 42
on-farm locations throughout
the flue-cured area of North
Carolina in the last five years.
These treatments included
broadcast, one band, two bands
applied at transplanting and
two bands 10 days after
transplanting.

Mayor Perry said that he
had a pet project in the
building of a mini-park on
the lower end of the lot
occupied by the medical
office of Dr. Coffman.
Mrs. Mae Gums, Town
Clerk, said that she had a
pet project of her own and
that was to install a six inch
water pipe and six hydrants
on a stretch of the town leading
from Jack Hawks Car
Wash for a distance of .3 of a
mile. She said the cost would
be $35,000 but it was not
revealed whether this was to
be paid by government
grant or taxes.
Mayor Perry said that he
would also like to see
Norlina have a new municipal
building, but he had no
immediate plans for this
beyond the need for hiring a

Norlina-Oine Road
Eyed For Industry
Future industrial development
of Warren County is
apt to occur along a corridor
between Norlina and Oine,
County Manager Charles
Hayes told county business
leaders and industrial developers
for the State of
North Carolina meeting
here Friday.
The occasion was the
annual golf outing for the
state's main industry hunters,
and many of them
agreed with Hayes' assessment
that the road between
Norlina and Oine on
Interstate 85 offers a fertile
avenue for industry.
Hayes said that prospects
for locating industry along
the road are not immediate,
since water and sewer lines
would have to be laid along
the entire two-mile stretch.
The county manager
expressed hope that a $4
billion public works appropriations
bill (which was
sent to President Carter by
government grants. Other
towns are doing all kinds of
things and paying for them
through special grants, he
said. "We do not even know
what and where they are,
much less the way to go
about getting them." He
suggested that the town
might find such a person by
applying to CETA. The
board told the mayor to
investigate the possibilities
and proceed with the plan.
Some little time was spent
in discussing police problems,
when it was suggested
that Officer Earl Shearin be
granted a leave of absence
in order that he may
complete his QUED requirements.

funds for placing a water

extended from Norlina to

Hayes also offered descriptions
of a half-dozen
existing sites lying from
Littleton to Manson to
developers and business
leaders who began arriving
at the Warrenton Golf Club
about 9:30 Friday.
By 11:30 their ranks had
swelled to almost 70, and
later many stayed to join

afternoon of play.
