During their stay here, the youths

A lady writes from Burlington
and makes this request: "Please
advise if it has been proven that
mercury lamps used for yard light
ing could affect plants. We have not
the usual luck in our greenhouse
since the lamp was put up."
The yard light she mentions can
very definitely affect plants grow
ing In her greenhouse All plants 'are
sensitive to light, some being more
sensitive than others. We refer to
: his as photoperiod or day length,
had the usual luck in our green
house since the lamp was put up.
The additional light from the
yard lamp has increased the day
length, or number of light hours,
and most likely has kept the plants
too vegetative thus preventing pro
per flowering.

KEEP FIRE IN FIRE PLACE
If you have a fireplace, keep your home firesafe by placing a
screen in front of it when, in use. i
And never, never leave children alone in the house, no matter
whether there is a fire in the fireplace or not, says th National Board
of Fire Underwriters. Fire deaths in the United States during 1961
totaled approximately 11,700, and deaths were higher among children
under 14 years of aa> and elderly persons of 65 and over.
By regulating tne ngnt ana tem
perature m our greenfinuqea, we arc
able to time the blooming dates of
such crops as poinsetiias; Chrysan
themums, azaleas and others
We anticipated this problem when
lights were installed on our campus
near our greenhouses. We solved
the problem by placing metal shad
es around the rim of the lights so
that our houses are protected.
Several weeks ago I gave you a
list of small fruited tomato varieties
that you might wish to try in your
garueu ih's summer fbr paste, sa
lads, and pickles - Rod Cherry
(large and small>. Red Rear, Yel
low Pear and Yellow Plum. This
week I ran across another variety
rWioSir is 'unuiuat - San Mafzano.
San Marzano is rectangular-shap
M, aPout 3'4 inches long and about
' 1 '4 inches across. It is reported to
be productive and to have a very
intense red color, making it especi
ally suitable foi* puree and tomato
paste.
The weather has been a choic
conversation piece all winter. T"
the vernacular, "we have had it".
' The oil tanker has spent a good por
tion of time in my driveway rot to
mention a couple of cords of wood
| in the fireplace.
I have just read an 'oteresHn?? ar
. ticle on "The Weather Pattern",
J by a noted meteorologist in which
| he predicted, last fall, that, "due to
high altitude nuclear blasts in
space, cold air masses would pene
| trate father south throu"hout the
I Northern Hemisphere this wiper
This prediction, as we know, came
true.
Dr. Krich's explanation of th
cold air disturbances is not, how
ever, in agreement with the think
ing of the U. S. Weather Bureau
meteorologists. They say that they
need more proof. - .
Be that as it may, it would pro
bably be wise for us to spend morr
planning for
health and happiness at the lower
iuu^oes where we live. There is
lots of unconquered. space down
here.
Disinfect Your Blankets
Dangerous winter disease
.germs are often trapped in
woolen blankets. Increased in
door living means more chance
that germs carrying flu, sore
throats or other illnesses will
be spread by coughs, sneezes
and by blowing the nose.
Woolen blankets commonly
harbor these germs because the
low-temperature washing rec
ommended for wool fibers is
not hot enough to disinfect
them. They should be pre
soaked in a disinfectant solu
tion made with tablespoons
of Lysol Brand to a gallon of
water. This procedure will kill
common-disease germs without
harm to the blanket.
WILLIAM W. SISK
GRAFEWOHR, GERMANY-Army
Serjeant William W. Sisk, son of
Mrs. Helen C. Sisk, Beulaville, N.
C., recently took part in his unit's
phase of annual winter traning with
other members of the 4th Armored
Division at Grafenwohr, Germary.
The training tested the unit's
combat readiness and included
problems in night fighting, commu
nicptidn, nuclear and special .war
fare.
The sergeant, a forward observer
in Headquarters Company cf the
division's 37th Armor, entered the
Army in April 1959 and arrived
overseas on this tour of duty in

Pre-Sprouting Sweet Potatoes
Can Mean Savings To Farmers
Tar Heel sweet potato growers are
missing savings of s$40-$S0 per acre
if they are neglecting the pi^sprou
ting practice.
1 Farmers can save this amount b<
pre-spouting the seed stock in stor
age just prior to bedding, according
I to Henry J. Covirtgton, extensio'
horticultural specialist at North
| Carolina State College.
"The process is inexpensive anf"
? simple," says Covington. "It ir,
creases early sprout production anr'
\ reduces the amount of seed stocl
you must bed for plants."
The idea t0 set the potatoes tr
push out sprouts the longest of
: which are one and one-half inches
by the time the farmer is ready U
bed thorn.
Pre-sprouting is most beneficia'
for slow, poor sprouting varietie
such as Gold Rush, Nugget aw
| Centennial. It takes ,30 days to
these three. Porto Rico can be pre'
sprouted in 21 days.
"We have been recommending Z
bushels of Gold Rush to product
enough plants in two pullings to se
an acre in the field. If you pre
Isprout, you can reduce this to 1.'
bushels, a 10 bushel saving pe.
! acre. This amounts to $40 to $50 a
acre," Covington pointed out.
The seed Stock should be givei
ideal curing conditions for 30 day
just prior to bedding. The ideal con
ditions are 85 degrees F., and 9'
per cent relatively humidity.
Cbvington said that while mos
curing facilities may not be tigh
enough to maintain the ideal humid
ity, this doesn't mean pre-sproutin;
can't be dpn.e ,
It does mean that the process
may take longer and the sprout pro
auction may not be as great.
The air where the potatoes arc
being pre-sprouted must be kep'
as moist as possible. The wall
should be sprayed at least twic<
daily and the floor should be wet i
j it is soil or concrete.
The humidity shouldn't be mail
tained at 100 per cent nor shoul
the surface of the potatoes be.kcj
completely wet. These condition
will produce white rootlets.
After, pre-sprouting, the usual rc
-ommended practices of seed treat
ment and heddin" should be follow
ed, according to Covington.
He cautioned that the potatoe
should be placed in the bed carefu' I
ly with the roots situated so that th
sprouts are as near straight up a
practical. "Be careful to .cover yit
I <vl ????o in"hoc so the sprout'
remain upririrt," he added. "
? Li _i_
A few of the longer snrouts may
be showing when the job is com
pleted but the farmer should not be
concerned about these, said Coving
ton.
The plastic cover should be used
as usual, removing it ^during the
day when tM plants generally start
emerging However, it may be
ieeded for cold spells and late
frost.
"Don't bed too early,'" ?ovin"tor
warned, "If anything, bed a week
nter than usual as plants can he
produced using plastic covers in
? our weeks after bedding, if the
wether is favoriable." Around Feb
ruary 25 is regarded as a good
time to start the pre-sprouting pro
^ess. i
The pre-sprouting recommend a
tioqs are based on work done in
lllssissippl by USDA scientists Lea-1
ton Kushman and Marshall Donler.

. Yes, rural electric systems ore helping their
communities survive the economic blow that has
struck traditionally farming and mining areas.
One example is In Illinois, where twa young
men built a ski resort . . . and the community had
a moment of hope. But problems arose, when it
didn't snow the first year . the owners' faced
bankruptcy ... the local bonk faced loss 6f its in
vestment . . . and the rural electric cooperative
serving the area faced loss of $9,000 Invested in
line to the new ihdustry.
But the people of the area decided it shouldn't'
happen. The bank lent all it could?$75,<SEH>' Th|
cooperative lent $23,000 to buy electripdfitf opera^,
ed snow-making equipment. ,i|; -
? . * . Now the ski resort is growing ond thriving?
creating jobs and income for. people of tfef ?ree.
As the Ideal banker said,."The resqrt ne?de;<t?t? ex
tra push to get over the humpn0rad exhausted its
credit. The cooperative steppw^j iff. The whafe area,
farmers and townspeople alike; will benefit. The
resort is.a new industry, just as a factWy 'would
