Expired Front
License Plate
Must Come Off
With the bulk of the 1956 li
cense plates distributed Motor Ve
hicles Department officials were
confronted today with a new prob
lem.
Old tags: how to get them olf
the front bumper.
Reports from many sections of
the state indicate some car own
ers are reluctant to part with the
front facing '55 tag.
The vehicle agency promptly
pointed out such display is illegal.
Said Col. James R. Smith, patrol
commander: "While we don't want
to appear to be splitting hairs,
the law requires the removal of ex
pired license plates." He urged de
linquent owners not to put off the
job any longer.

Fertilization And Spraying
Stressed At Apple School
Special emphasis' was placed on
fertilization and spraying by N. C.
State College specialists at Hay
wood County's annual apple school
last week.
Dr. C. L. Clayton, pathologist,
pointed out that a good spray pro
gram is particularly important this
year because very little spraying
was done by orchardmen last year
because of the March freeze.
He said that predictions are that
apple scab may give more trouble
this year since It has'at any time
since 1946, and recommended the
use of a dormant spray to control
scab.
Three fungicide sprays should
be applied before the trees are in
bloom, he added.
Dr. Clayton recommended the
use of one dormant spray as soon
as possible, utilizing lime sulphur;
a second spray of lime sulphur two
weeks later, and a third spray of
wettable sulphur and fermate in
equal amounts when trees are in
the pink stage.
The speaker said that captan can
be used as well as the above ma
terials, but it is somewhat more
expensive.
Melvin H. Kolbe, extension horti
culturist, said that research has
shown that best results have been
obtained in the fertilization of
apple trees with the use of nitrogen
and boron.
Mr. Kolbe recommended the use
of IV* pound of actual nitrogen
on bearing trees. This, he said.
wHl -give results similar to "those
obtained by use of four pounds of
ammonium nitrate or eight pounds
of nitrate of soda.
Nitrogen should be applied, he
explained, one month before tree
buds swell, which is the latter part
of February or the first of March
in this area.
Mr. Kolbe asserted that prospects
are good this year for a bumper
apple crop and urged orchardmen
to fertilize their trees properly
and follow through with a good
spray program.
Dr. M. S. Williams, farm-man
agement specialist, discussed the
proper handling, packing, and
marketing of apples and showed
color slides to illustrate his talk.
Other speakers on the program
were George Jones, entomologist,
who spoke on insect ocntrol, and
George Turnipseed, horticultur
ist, who discussed additional as
pects of fertilization.
A hydroelectric power plant is
under construction near the junc
tion of the Orinoco and Caroni
rivers in Venezuela. It will uti
lize the lower falls of the Caroni.

Proposed Legislation To
Increase Old Age Benefits
i ? ?
By BILL WHITLEY
AID FOR AGED. There are
about 52.000 people in North Caro
lina who now received old age as
sistance payments under the state
welfare program, which is support
ed to a large extent by Federal
funds through the Social Security
Act.
The average payment to the Tar
Heels receiving old age assistance
is $31.21 per month. The national
average is $51.90 per month. Only
three states?Alabama, Mississippi
and West Virginia ? have average
monthly payments less than those
in North Carolina.
Under present law, the Federal
government puts up the first $20 to
match the first $5 put up by the
state. In addition, the Federal gov
ernment. matches dollar for dollar
up to $55 per month.
AMENDMENT. Senators George
of Georgia and Long of Louisiana
have offered an amendment to the
law that would increase the Fed
eral government'* participation.
Under the amendment, the Federal
government would put up $25 to
match the first $5 put up by the
state, and then match dollar for
dollar up to $65.
Among the senators co-sponsor
ing the proposed amendment is
Senator Scott of North Carolina.
"The amendment would mean an
automatic increase of $5 a month
for all those receiving old age
benefits in the state without any
additional state funds allocated,"
Scott said. "It would also give the
state an opportunity to materially
increase it* old age benefit pay
ments on a matching basis if it so
iesired.'V
FARMERS. A lot is being said
:hese days about farm income. All
torts of statistics and survey re
ports are being pumped to the pub
lic about this trend or that situ
ition.
Senator Langer of North Dako
ta last week summed up the situa
tion in a few words on the Senate
floor.
He said that quite a number of
termers have been writing him
ibout low farm prices. Two said
they were selling eggs for six cents
i dozen, and another wrote that
Iressed chickens were bringing
seven cents a pound.
Enough said.
HAIRCUTS. There's a sign in the
ladies' beauty salon in the Senate
3ffice Building that reads as fol
lows:
"Haircut, $1.25; Haircut and thin,
11.50; Short Haircut, $1.50; Long
Haircut, $2.00."
Apparently, there's no such thing
is getting a simple haircut. And
certainly, the days of a shave and
laircut are over.
