Don't Be A Sucker Over Sucker Control
i - . r-i nn
by PACT BASWICK
By the time this; article ap
pear!, the Northy Carolina Gene
ral Assembly will have (if the
calendar is followed) discussed
at length on the floor of tee Ge
neral Assembly the proposed le
gislation outlawing .the use of
MH-30 for use in tobacco sucker
control in North Carolina.'
This is a big problem for North
Carolina tobacco farmers - and
should be considered seriously
not just off the top of the head.
Because of the importance of
the Issue involved, I contacted a
friend -close to the situation and
asked for some very frank an
swers about MH-30.
Bob Parker, public relations di
rector of Farm Bureau of North
Carolina, was very frank. I would'
like to pass onto you what he
had to say, after' long and care
ful study, and let "you be the one
to say "Yes" or 'NoH. There is
a - possibility,- and a strong one
from what information I can ob
tain, that the bill will not pass
on the floor of the General As
sembly. That will then mean that
it will be up to the fanners them
selves to say what will be done.
MH-30 was first used about
10 years ago as a sucker control
on tobacco in the Connecticut
Vtalley. When, 'farmers learned
that it would control sucker gro
wth, and cut labor, more and
more farmers used MH-30 and
its use spread into the Flue Cure
Tobacco Belt
As more, and more farmers us
ed MH-30, it became more and
more apparent that it did effect
tobacco in various ways. Discus
sion overseas picked up as. to
whether the tobacco' had lost
some of its taste quality. -
t. I asked Bob point blank, DaeB
Huvav ciicm uivi 4iutMV ' u qu
ired tobacoo and ,Trom the far-
mers paint of view, are the long
range disadvantages greater than
the short term advantages. f
Bob said, MIt is generally ag
reed that If used improperly,
MH-30 does cause undesireable
effects : on tobacco, ' a point of
fact admitted by tobacco compa

by W, Y. Vann,'local manager for

This work consists of placing ap
proximately t J miles of new tele-'
phone facllltle at -an estimated
cost of 19.474. The new lines fwlll

nies." Then he added, 'Yes,
there is conclusive evidence that
if improperly used, MH-30 will
lower the quality of tobacco.
In an instruction pamphlet,
which we have in our hands, the
manufactuers of MH-30 (maleic
hydrazide, 30 per cent active)
there are four specific "proper
procedure" clauses for using
MH-30. They are: (1) time ap
plication correctly (2) use pro
per equipment (3) use recom
mended amounts of MH-30 and
(4) harvest only mature or ripe
leaves.
I'd like to quote from the pam
phlet a few phases. "Correct
Time to Apply MH-30. When 90
percent of your plants have be
gun to shed their first flowers
(middle to full flower see
picture) and the tip leaves to be
harvested are at least six inches
long, either: (a) top and sucker
all plants and then spray MH-30
within 24 hours or (b) spray
MH-30 and then top and sucker
all plants within 3 days."
"High humidity and good soil
moisture. Best absorption of MH
30 into the leaf occurs under high
humidity and good soil moisture
conditidns."
The following question is put
here to the farmers, are just
these two "musts" followed?
I also asked Bob, "If material
is applied under ideal conditions,
does it effect the leaf?"
He answered it by saying that
the "question is debatable." Then
he added that, "Tobacce compa
nies and overseas buyers and to
bacco export companies in this
country are generally agreed that
MH-30 efforts cured leaf in ways
not shown to the naked eye
or feel. Among these are (1) it
.affects the fijlinxwtfjfr of xio
Uccd rt);rt effects the burning
characteristics (3) It has undesi
reable effect on smoking flavor.
This is the most serious charge
against it to date."

now advising' farmers, "Not to

I asked Bob what would hap

companies have gone so far as
to suggest that they would pur

had been anaylzed chemically.
This would delay all sales by

drop between 20 and 30 per cent
if the majority of tobacco far
mers use MH-30.
The reason for not taking this
to the Federal Government is
very pointed. Secretary of Agri
culture Ezra Benson has been
after the tobacco programs, ac
cording to tobacco leaders, and if
he got a shot at this, he might
destroy the very tobacco pro
gram which is the backbone of
the economy in North Carolina,
It is now left up to the farmer
entirely as to what to do. It is
obvious that tobacco companies
do not want tobacco which has
.been exposed to MH-30. One
thing is sure, the farmer can
not smoke and chew all the to
bacco he produces.
I am not taking sides, but will
pass on an opinion. Until some
thing more specific is determin
edand with the tobacco program
in bad enough condition as it
stands now, it seems to me it
would be better for the farmer
to leave off MH-30. This is se
rious business. It doesn't make
good sense to say, "We'll use
MH-30 regardless of what the
(tobacco companies say." After
all, it's, these tobacco companies
which really make our local eco
nomy tick.
In the three years at North Dup

that his record at, Brogden High i

"the Duplin County Library Board
met Wednesday, May 27 at 3:30.
The most important item to be
brought up before the members
was the discussion and adoption
of the budget for 1959-60.
Members of the Library Board,
appointed by the Commissioners,
are: Mrs. Lawrence Southerland,
chairman, of Kenansville; Mrs.
Mary Monison, secretary of Wal
lace; Mrs. N. B. Boney, Kenans
ville; M:s. Alvin Kornegay, Aliber
tson; Mrs. W. R. Clifton, Faison;
Mrs Paul Potter, Warsaw; and Mrs.
W. H. Fussell, Rose Hill.
T! following report was sub
mitted toy Miss Dorothy Wight
men, Librarian:
This has been another cold
winter and later lots of rain, how
ever I believe the Bookmobile
made more trips than It did a year
ago and we were better prepared
for loss of trips. We were able to
leave more volumes of good books
on each visit, enough to keep our
readers busy daring bad weather.
Many had to come to Kenansville
on business and come to the libr
ary for extra books.
Since the first of July the Book
mobile has left around the county
3918 volumes n the 10 monts. In
addition we have delivered to the
four branches 3175 new titles which
Raleigh will not accept as "circul
ation" since they were practically
delivery. That has been the Book
mobile work these months. In the
office here in Kenansville, we have
been swamped. Readers from all
over the county have borrowed
8162 books - individuals needing
books both for reference and re
ceational reading. That's is a total
of 15,253 books issued and two
months to go.
In addition 2704 books have been
selected and made ready for the
Colored Library Service. Through
February the Colored Library had
circulated 6534 volumes county
wide.
The Library has purchased 1838
volumes, of which 1302 were new
titles. All these have been catalo
gued and added to the collection.
With no interruptions it takes
about 15 minutes after checking
the Invoices to put a new book on
the shelf ready for circulation.
