Advice Given
On Armyworms
"Armyworms fluctuate
greatly in abundance, un
dergoing 1 cycles which
reach destructive . peaks,"?
states Douglas W. Taylor,
Assistant Agricultural Ex
tension Agent
These pests often de
velop the marching habit,
the caterpillars of which
crawl in great droves and
injure field and vegetable
crops. The fall army
worms have been observed
in destructive quantities in
the county. Pastures,
lawns and some field crops
are very susceptible to
these pests. Soybean and
peanuts are prime targets
at this time. .
Careful observation can
differentiate the army
worm with the corn ear
worm. The armyworm has
a yellowish "honeycomb"
appearing head with two
dark stripes.
: There are several control
measures depending on
which crop has the worm
problem. Carbaryl (Sevin)
'is recommended for pea
nuts at the rate of 1M
pounds active ingredient
per acre. Toxaphene
DDT mix can be used on
soybeans, if they are to be
harvested for the beans
only. If there is any
question about this, one
can resort to sevin.
For pastures, Carbaryl
(Sevin) at the rate of 1 to
1V4- pounds active ingredi
ent per acre can be safely
used, but keep poultry and
stock off for a day or two.
Sevin is also recommend
ed if there is a problem in
corn fields. Please use ex
treme caution if dusting or
spraying from airplanes.
Chemical drift may cause
problems on other crops.
If there are any ques-
tions regarding these pests
or the use of the insecti
cides, please contact your
county agent's office. Re
member, before using any
Pesticides stop and ; read
the label.

ECU Students
At Orientation
Jay Wilson Dillon, Jr.,
Linda Ann Harrell, Caro
lyn Anne White and Jan
Bennett White, Perquima
ans County High School
graduates, were among
about 365 of next fall's
freshmen who attended the
sixth two-day segment of
this summer's pre-entrance
counseling program at
East Carolina College in
Greenville.
They came from 43
North Carolina counties
and three other states
Maryland, New Jersey and
Virginia.
University officials met
them and put them through
two days of orientation
activities last week.
Dean of Men James B.
Mallory directs the pro
gram. Its purpose, he
says, is to smooth each
student's transition from
high school to university.
By handling the new
freshmen in small groups
during the summer months,
Mallory says, the orienta
tion is more effective
from both university and
student viewpoints.
Found In River
Sheriff Julian H. Brough
ton, who had searched dili
gently for the body of Ed
ward Keene, seven-year-old
Norfolk youth who went
wading in the river at
Southern Shores Sunday
and never returned, told
this newspaper Tuesday af
ternoon that the body of
the youth surfaced at 2:30
Monday afternoon. The
body surfaced at the twenty-foot
hole in; the river
just off the beach where
sand had been removed
some years ago and put on
the shores or land there.
The youth who was at
the beach with his mother
and grandparents from
Norfolk, had been out jn
the water and his mother
told Sheriff Broughton that
she called him about noon
and he came to shore.
About 30 minutes later the
Keene woman went back
to call the youth again and
he wasn't there.

Perquimans County com
missioners meeting here on
Monday authorized a ref
erendum on a bond issue
to erect a $250,000 medical
clinic in Perquimans Coun
ty. It has been ascertain
ed and determined that it
is necessary to erect in
Perquimans County a hos
pital facility and acquire
lands, furnishings and
equipment necessary for
the building and facility.
In order to raise money
needed to finance the cost
of erecting a hospital fa
cility here, bonds of the
County of Perquimans
were authorized, and will
be issued pursuant to the
County Finance Act of
North Carolina. The maxi
mum aggregate principal
amount of the bonds will
be $250,000.
A tax sufficient to pay
the principal and interest
on the bonds when due will
be annually levied and col
lected. The clinic would have
diagnostic laboratories, X
ray machines and treat
ment rooms for emergency
patients but would not be
used to treat patients over
a long period of time.
It is hoped by the com
missioners that the clinic
will encourage new doctors
to establish practice in Per
quimans County.
The Perquimans County
Chamber of Commerce
which has been backing the
erecting of a clinic, asked
that the referendum be
held no later than July.
The Board adopted a res-'
olution setting up referen
dum for the Sheriff to be
covered under the Social
Security program.
A rental bid was accept
ed by the board in the
amount of $625.00 for the
County Home farmland;
the bid was submitted by
George T. Roach, Jr.
Night Opening
Beginning Here
Beginning Saturday. Aug
ust 11, a number of the
Hertford stores will remain
open until 9 P.- M. for the
convenience of the shop
ping public.
The remaining open un
til 8 P. M. on Saturdays
was decided on by several
of the local business places
due to a' number of re
quests of local farmers and
persons who work out of
the town and county who
desire to shop at home
and because of their work
ing hours have been un
able to. Therefore, by the
local stores remaining open
until 9 P. M. on Saturday
they will have the oppor
tunity to shop here.
