Late garden planting can help production By Willie Featherstone County Extension Chairman Late springs and persistently wet soils make for a frustrating time for anxious gardeners, but there may be a silver lining - planting too early is prevented. Gardeners, enticed by the first warmth of spring, plant some vegetable crops too early. Poor production often is a result. Some garden crops aren't meant to be planted early. Among these are lima beans, pepper plants, okra, sweet potatoes and eggplant. If you planted these in early April anywhere in North Carolina, you planted too early. April 20 is plenty early to plant all of the above-mentioned crops except sweet potatoes. They shouldn't be planted until mid-May. If you haven't planted these crops yet, here are some of the bet ter varieties to select when buying seeds or plants: Bush limas - Fordhook 242, Henderson Bush, Early Thorogreen. Pole limas - King of the Garden, Sieva. Eggplant - Florida Highbush, Special Hibush. Okra - Clemson Spineless, Emerald. Southern peas ? Dixilee, Mississippi Silver, Colossus. Sweet pepper - California Wonder, Yolo Wonder, Pimento. Hot pepper ? Red Chili, Cayenne, Hungarian Yellow Wax. Sweet potato - Porto Rico 198, Jewel. If you have questions about the recommended planting dates of any crops in your area or about variety selections, check with your county office of the N.C. Agricultural Extension Service. INSECTS DON'T LIKE NEW SOYBEAN LINES Breeding materials that could contribute to the development of Extension News insect resistant soybeans have been developed at N.C. State University and are being released to plant breeders. Three lines developed by Dr. Joe W. Burton in cooperation with en tomologists Dr. William V. Camp bell and Suzanne Hart carry resistance to Mexican bean beetle and the com earworm. They are also resistant to two races of cyst nematode. Burton is a U.S. Department of Agriculture soybean geneticist at tached to the Department of Crop Science at NCSU. Hart is a research assistant, and Campbell a professor of entomology. The joint announcement of the release was made by Dr. D.F. Bateman, director of the N.C. Agricultural Research Service, NCSU, and Dr. T.B. Kinney, ad ministrator of the Agricultural Research Service, USDA. Burton said the corn earworm and Mexican bean beetle are major pests of soybeans. Commercial soybean varieties with resistance to the two insects are not now available to farmers. "We hope the germplasm we are releasing will be used by soybean breeders in developing insect resistant varieties," Burton said. The breeding lines have better yielding ability in their maturity range than previously available sources of resistance to Mexican bean beetle and corn earworm. Burton said. The resistant lines are identified as N 80-50232, N79-2282, and N80-5320I. Limited quantities of seed are available only to plant breeders and only from the Department of Crop Science, NCSU, Box 5155, Raleigh. NC 27650. ? Ray promoted by CP&L Dan C.

Teen pregnancies need understanding Statistics provided by the Sand hills Mental Health Center in Raeford, indicate that one girl in ten between the ages of 15 and 19 becomes pregnant each year. A drastic, sudden change in lifestyle, new problems and responsibilities often accompany teen parenthood. Some of those problems and responsibilities may include: ?Deciding about marriage, ?Finding a place to live, ?Finances, ?Dealing with the reactions of others (parents, family, friends), ?Learning about parenting skills, and ?Finding a job. There are certain preparations for childbirth that an expectant mother should be aware of. Some of them include: ?Obtaining early prenatal care, ?Eating a balanced diet, ?Getting enough rest, ?Getting proper exercise, ?Avoiding harmful habits such as drugs, alcohol, and smoking. An expectant father can prepare by: ?Sharing in planning and decision-making, and ?Providing emotional support, encouragement and understanding td the mother-to-be. Both parents can prepare by: ?Learning as much as possible about pregnancy and childbirth, and ?Planning how to continue your education which will help you get jobs to support your child. Teenage parenthood involves many changes and challenges. To help deal with them, expectant parents should: ?Understand the responsibilities of parenthood; ?Know how to take care of the baby and yourself; and ?Plan for a happy, healthy future for you and your baby.

Traffic appeal backfires on man By Ed Miller An appeal of a traffic conviction apparently backfired for a Racford man last week in Hoke County Superior Court. Louis C. Cunningham was charged with speeding 45 in a 35 mph zone on February 14 and was found guilty of those charges in Hoke County District Court prior to the superior court appeal. Cunningham told a jury that he was not guilty of the charges. However, the verdict went against Cunningham and he was found guilty. Superior Court Judge Edwin S. Preston sentenced the defendant to 60 days in Hoke County Jail. The sentence was suspended on the condition that the 63-year-old man pay the court costs. Cunningham was also ordered by the court to be recertified to drive in the state of North Carolina. In an unrelated case, Daniel Eric Jones also appealed his driving while impaired (DWI) case to superior court. He was arrested December 12 on a second offense. Jones plead not guilty in the case. The jury did not agree. He was found guilty and sentenced to 12 months in Hoke County Jail suspended for two years of "special supervised proba tion" and 30 days in jail. The Raeford man was fined S250 in the case and is to serve his sentence on consecutive weekends reporting to jail at 7 p.m. on Fridays. He will be released on Sundays at the same time. In a felonious breaking and entering case, tried in court last week, Earnest Thomas, aka Earnest Mims, plead guilty to tak ing a number of items from the home of Harry McAllister. The 37-year-old Thomas was sentenced to three years in prison, but had the sentence suspended for five years supervised probation plus court costs and $350 restitu tion to be paid to McAllister. Thomas was charged with taking a stereo, a tape deck, two 12-guage shot guns and a semi-automatic "skeet" shotgun from the home of McAllister. Thomas is a resident of Raeford. Another Raeford man was charged in the same case and received the same sentence as Thomas. Victor Locklear, 22, was also found guilty of felonious breaking and entering. Locklear joins Thomas in pay ing a $68 court fee and restitution to the victim. A warrant was issued for the ar rest of John Willie McPhatter last week after he failed to show up in court. The Red Springs resident was ar rested on DWI charges on January 13 while his license was permanent ly revoked. McPhatter had been subpoenaed to court. Thomas S. Dail was given 12 more months in prison last week after he was found guilty of felonious escape from Sandhill Youth Center. The 20-year-old man was ar rested after the escaped on April 20. Dail's newest sentence is to run concurrently to any existing sentences, court records said. Dail is now incarcerated by the North Carolina Department of Corrections.
