FIVE HAVE MADE IT ?
Accreditation Is Work
!
Of Many Dedicated People
By MRS. BETH GUFFEY
(Elementary Supervisor)
Five of Macon County's schools
are accredited.
Accreditation came to these
schools as a result of a great deal
of work on the part of many
people, including classroom teach
ers, principals, the supervisor, and
the superintendent, as well as
people of the individual school
communities. At least two more
of our schools may achieve this
goal before the end of the school
year.
The main purpose for accredita
tion, as stated in our North Caro
lina handbook for elementary and
secondary schools, is "to promote
the best possible conditions in the
school as a whole, that maximal
desirable resliits for all boys and
girls may be achieved."
Requirements for accreditation
are set up as an indication of
what constitutes or suggests a
fairly satisfactory learning situ- j
ation for boys and girls.
Naturally, the average person j
is interested in what these require
ments are. As given in the hand
books, these include the curric
ulum, instructional equipment, in
structional material for each class
room. library facilities, adequacy
of the building and grounds. I
As to curriculum, the total {
school program must be centered i
toward the maximal development
of each child, according to his or
her capacity in appreciation sub
jects, creative arts, basic skills, j
find inpei'sonality, giving a1
functional, balanced program.
An accredited school must have
a central library with a basic ;
minimum collection of five hun- !
dred books, exclusive of duplicates. ?
and including designated subjects.
Three books per pupil are re
quired. regardless of the size of the
school. The general equipment,
classroom equipment, and instruc
tional materials are too numerous !
to list at this time.
A highlight of this year has i
been the realization of a dream,
the attainment of a goal toward

which efforts have been directed
for some time. This is obtaining
for the schools a centralized place
where a varied and more adequate
amount of instructional supplies
could be kept in stock so that
teachers might have them as the
needs arise in the classrooms.
Space for a central school sup
ply room was obtained and our
schools have had an ample supply i
of materials with which to work.
Near the end of last school year,
the classroom teachers in each
school sent to the office of the
county board of education lists of
Instructional materials which they
would need for the new school
year. Before school opened, all
materials requested were obtained
and placed in the school supply
room. This gave each teacher an j
opportunity to have at the beginn
ing of the year material needed
to do the best job possible in the
teaching of boys and girls of Ma
con County. The stock of instruc
tional supplies has been replen
ished from time to time and
teachers have returned for ad
ditional supplies as needed.
How are these materials sup
plied? For each child, based on
average daily attendance, the
State Board of Education allots
$1.12 for instructional supplies
and 50 cents per pupil for library
books and supplies. This amount
has been supplemented by our
county.
To give the public some idea of
the amount of instructional sup
plies our schools are receiving, the
following is a listing of funds and j
their sources, spent this school |
year up to the present time. This- ;

PRACTICES LISTED ?
Growing Peppers Cited
As Profitable Sideline
By T. H. FAGG
(Agricultural Agent)
Last year, a few of our farmers
produced sweet peppers under
contract for a canning company
In Florida.
The contract price per ton was
$50. Due to the lateness In receiv
ing plants, then dry weather fol
lowed by a period of excessive
mln. these fanners were unable
to obtain their maximum pro
duction, and consequently did not
make too much profit on the
enterprise.
Under normal conditions a
farmer can expect a yield of four
to six tons of pepper per acre,
which is a gross Income of $200
to -300 per acre. Plant and fer
tilizer costs usually run around
$75 per acre. A family that has
children 14 years old or older to
furnish necessary labor in plant
ing and harvesting can realize a
very nice net income per acre
from this enterprise, if they fol
low the necessary Instructions in
production of this crop.
The following are practices that |
should be followed if maximum
production is to be obtained.
1. Plant pepper on your best
soil: Select well-drained and fertile
soil, high in organic matter.
Practice careful rotation. Do not
plant peppers on the same land
more often than once in three or ^
four years. Tomatoes, Irish po
tatoes, peanuts, tobacco, and
peppers are subject to some of the
same diseases and should not pre
cede the pepper crop.
2. Plow under manure and or
cover crop.s: Plow under a good
cover crop two to four weeks prior
to transplanting time. About 10
tons of barnyard manure or three
to five tons of poultry manure
will be extremely beneficial. Plow
under manwe in the fall on land
where you plan to have pepper
the next year.
3. Plant only adapted varieties:
Yolo Wonder, or other varieties
recommended by processors for a
contiact crop.
4. Feed pepper plants adequate- 1
ly: Fertilize according to soil test.!
Have your soil tested for lime and j
fertilizer requirments. Enough
lime should be added to bring
the PH to around 6.5. A soil test
is the only way to determine ac
urately the lime and fertilizer re
quirements of your soil. General
recommendations in Macon Coun
ty are for 800 to 1.000 pounds of
4-12-12 or 5-10-10 under the row
several days before transplanting.
Mix thoroughly with the soil by
running a sweep or similar imple
ment in the furrow. Apply with
the soil by runnnig a sweep or
similar implement ii> the furrow.
Apply 50 to 60 pounds of
actual nitrogen as sidedressing
in one application when fruits be
gin to form. If liberal amounts of
manure have been applied.- the
need for sidedressing is reduced
and often eliminated entirely
Nitrogen is essential for green,
healthy growth and the Judgment
of the farmer is invaluable in de
termining nitrogen needs during
the season.
5. Reduce transplanting feet'
back: Plant only strong, healthy
plants as soon as they are re
ceived. Do not use weak, diseased,
or poorly colored plants. If pos
sible, set plants on a cloudy day
or during the afternoon. Use a
"starter" or "transplanting" solu
tion- in your transplanting water
One-half pint per plant. Solution
one pint of 5-10-10 in five gallons
water the night before.
6. Plant early: Transplant be
tween May 1 and May 15. Set
platjts in the field soon after the
danger of frost is over and as
soon as the weather and soil has
warmed up.
7. Space plants properly: Plants
too crowded tend to grow tall and
are more easily broken by wind
and careless handling at harvest
time. Plant on rows 3 "2 to 4 feet
wide and space plants 18 to 24
inches apart in the row.
8. Cultivation: Cultivate to con
trol weeds and grass. Deep culti
vation, especially after plants start
to grow, will damage the roots
and should be avoided. Pepper
plants are brittle and easily
broken. Broken plants reduce
yield.
9. Control Insects and diseases:
Proper rotation and use of disease
free plants are very essential steps
In preventing pepper diseases. If
diseases or insects threaten, see
your county agent or canner im
mediately for control recommenda
tions. Do not use materials which
leaves poisonous residues on the
fruit closer than, three to four
weeks of harvest time unless you
are assured by the canner that
they can be removed by washing
DDT, Cryolite, Chlordane, Toxa
phene, Parathlon, and Malathion
are among materials which leave
poisonous residues.
10. Harvest regularly: Harvest
at least once each week. Pick only
ripe peppers and remove diseased
pods from the field.
11. Destroy old plants at end
of season: Some pepper diseases
winter over on old plants. To
help prevent a build-up of disease
trouble in your area, plow plants
under completely at the end of the
harvest season.
If interested in growing peppers
on a contract we will be able to
take your application in the coun
ty agents' office, so come by at
your earliest convenience and dis
cuss it with us, so we can get
your soil tested and order plants.
