Scientists Subdue Deadly Blue Mold .Blue mold, which once swept un checked through North Carolina to bacco plant beds, is no longer the frightening and deadly enemy oi flue-cured leaf growers. Plant disease scientists have found effective means of curbing its prog ress through the magic of chemicals, say Don E. Ellis and Howard R. Gar riss, extension plant pathologists ol State College Demonstrations conducted in var ious tobacco-growing sections of the State earlier in the year proved the effectiveness of paradichlorobenzene and red copper oxide as economical and beneficial agents in halting the disease Under a wide range of local con ditions, the demonstrations showed a uniformly high degree of success. Complete figures were kept on 28 demonstrations in 13 counties. Ellis and Garris reported that plants were pulled from the treated beds on an average of 5 4 days earl ier than from the untreated beds At the time of the first pulling, an average of 3,474 more plants were secured from each 100 square yards of treated beds than from the un treated. For the season, an average of 12,929 more plants were pulled. When paradichlorobenzene, or PDB as it is sometimes known, was used, narrow plant beds were rec ommended and used in a majority of casei. These beds we re 5 feet Tf inches wide. However, wider beds were used to some extent and gave good results when tightly construct ed and when sufficient cross pieces were provided to support the heavy cover. Treatment, in most cases. was started after blue mold first ap peared and was continued until the disease was controlled Where the red copper oxide spray was used, applications were usually started before blue mold appeared and con tinued until danger from infection had passed Building Coat la Lo u On Houaing Project a The average net construction cost of USHA homes, based on construc tion contracts covering 104,107 un its is $2,730, or about 20 per cent lower than the $3,687 average for private residential building through out the country. This $2,730 "net" includes the cost of erecting the building, plus plumb ing, heating and electrical costs and ia in fact the basis on which cost of homes is commonly quoted Conducting Demonat ration In Effort To Control Weeda In an effort to control weeds in their tobacco plant beds, Aca Mew born and R.

When a general congress was pro posed for the thirteen original col onies. Joseph Hewes was one of the first three citizens selected by North Carolina to serve in that assembly. A biographer recorded in a life of Hewes published in 1827 that. "He was placed on the committee charg ed with fitting out the armed ves sels ordered to be built or equipped for congress?the germ of the Unit ed States navy; and thus hi* became in effect, and in the nature of his duties and responsibilities, the first Secretary of the Navy."

Howes never missed a chance to support or vote for any plan of determining and protecting the rights of the colonies. North Carolina gave him credentials which spoke a bolder language than was found in those of most delegates attending the first congress which assembled in Philadelphia in Sep tember, 1774 His credentials reveal ed the fact that North Carolina re solved in a general meeting of its deputies that the people approved the proposed general congress. He was instructed to deliberate on the state of British America and to take such measure, "as hi- deemed pru dent," to determine with certainty the rights of Americans, for repair ing the breach made in those rights, and for guarding them for the fu ture. Other colonies had placed the emphasis upon reconciliation and restoration of harmony; but his cre dentials stressed the importance of protecting American liberty. Joseph Hewes represented his state until 1777. He had worked diligent ly, and by working long hours he tad injured his health. He did not live to see the end of the war, but his last days were spent In Phila delphia following his return to con gress in 1779 When he signed the Declaration l?f Independence, he wrote his name in tin- permanent records of his tory. North Carolina had taken the lead in the movement for freedom, [n Halifax, April 12, 1776, represen tatives agreed to instruct their dele gates at Philadelphia "to concur with the other colonies in entering into foreign alliances, and declaring an independence on Great Britain."
