Working To Improve Health Of Pamlico 9s Citizens • Pamlico County’s death rate from motor vehicle accidents is thirty seven percent higher than the - average for the state.

As a health educator, Humphrey said she wants to promote “overall wellness.” One area she plans to focus on is hypertension. Pamlico County in 1980 had a prevelancy rate of 22.1 percent, she said, compared to the state’s 18.5 percent.

Cutworms In The Garden Cutworms are one of the first insect pests to cause damage to home gardens. According to Fred May, Pamlico County Agricultural Ex tension Agent, damage caused by cutworms results in plants cut off at ground level during the night. Cutworms usually feed at night and hide 1-2 inches deep in the soil near the damaged plant or adjacent plants. May points out that cutworms usually cause more damage in home gardens where weeds have been allowed to grow in the fall and winter providing a ready food supply for them. For cutworm management, clean and till the garden in the fall and early in the spring. Other methods of preventing damage from cutworms include using physical barriers and 'In secticides. Possible physical barriers might include a card boat'd or aluminum foil collar around; the stem of the plant. Milk cartons or tin cans with both ends out placed otfer the plants will help prevent cutworm damage. For chemical control of cutworms in the home garden, May suggests using diazinon (Spectracide) or carbaryl (Sevin). Treatment must be directed at or spread around the base of the plants being protected. Follow pesticide label directions for rates and ap plication.
