Fair winners Three Hoke County students took honors recently at a count ywide Social Studies Fair. The event was held at the Hoke County Public Library. Georgia Hodges and Robert Downey won trophies in the competition while Tricia McKnight and Brian Wadsworth won blue ribbons. Keeping cool is economic matter The "more the better" rule of thumb doesn't work if you're in the market for an air conditioner. You need to buy just the right size or even a little smaller model to get ideal cooling for your home. The reason: If the air condi tioner is too big, it won't run as much. If the air conditioner isn't running, it's not pulling moicture out of the air to make it less humid in your house. On the Front Alice Pet tit t Home Economics Agent Since half the value of air condi tioning is in dehumidifying, you're just not going to be as comfor table. Enviro-Chem Co.

EER Is Important The most important considera tion in buying a window air condi (See FRONT, page 5B) January freeze may have ordered 'remove and replace' for plants Many folks still can't believe that their ligustrum hedge or espaliered pyracantha or favorite "Lady Clare' camellia is no longer with us - well it's true - many of our favorite ornamentals were completely killed by the January 21st low temperatures. In most areas of the state, there has been a sufficient amount of time for the "wait and see" at titude which we recommended back in February/March. It's time now for R&R. REMOVE and REPLACE! If new growth or buds have not begun by now, the plant can be removed. Even a slight amount of green tissue beneath the bark is not a guarantee. If you "dig a little deeper" you'll probably find more damage in the center of the stem, and this indicates the plant will eventually die. Again - by now one can surmize the damage and make a decision about the plant in question. The "wait and see" approach will only delay the job of severe pruning or removal. Replacement of Dead Plants Now that many dead plants have finally been removed we have the decision to make concerning replacement. Do we plant something more cold hardy or replant the same cultivar and hope the weather records are not broken again in the next 200 years! I sug gest before replanting, take a few minutes and evaluate the total landscape. Obviously new landscapes will need replanting but many shrubs J.H. Austin Insurance Agency, Inc.

Extension I News Willie Featherstone County Extension Chairman that died were old and overgrown plants. Possibly you don't need a replacement or possibly a dwarf or slow growing shrub is needed. Instead of assuming that a "plant for plant" replacement is necessary, evaluate the landscape. The hardiness of a plant in that particular microclimate, and future demands from the land scape space, then make decisions based on this analysis. Look on the positive side - since the landscape problems had to be addressed, you might have a more functional landscape and pleasant area than you had before. It's much easier said than done but complete removal of dead plants is often recommended - especially if another plant is to go in the same general area. Above ground parts along with the root system needs to be removed. This will require a tractor, 4x4 or a big mule, along with a heavy "log" chain. For those without any of the above, a shovel, pickaxe, adz and plenty of time and muscle will suf fice. . Remember the modern planting techniques when replacing trees and shrubs. The following are plants which are major concerns across North Carolina: Camellia Major kill - complete removal necessary Sasanqua Major kill - com plete removal necessary Ligustrum Major kill - com plete removal necessary Photinia Tops die back - severe pruning required Pyracantha Major kill - com plete removal necessary Crape Myrtle Some sprouts from base - minimum growth in top. Severe pruning and/or removal. Pampas Grass Some growth - will require plenty of patience or replacement Southern Magnolia Top die back needs pruning Deodar Cedar Brown needles all over - don't know yet but literature says hardy to -12 ?F but this doesn't appear true Azaleas If new growth has not begun by now removal will be necessary. Severely prune ones where tops were killed. It is the correct time to prune azaleas anyway. Rutherford completes Army basic training Army Pvt. Charles C. Ruther ford II, son of Charles C.
