This corn showed tolerance to blight in 1970 and offers the best chance of avoiding the disease in 1971. The N. C. Department of Agri culture recently adopted a regula tion that will require 1971 corn seed to be labeled to show the percent of N and T cytoplasm contact their regular .seed suppli ers early and order the best seed available.

Keeping a small sample of the seed — about a Cotton harvest reached the 97 percent completed mark last week, prices were generally un changed and market activity in creased moderately, according .to E.

RALEIGH — Traveling with young clilldren Isn’t so hectic if you make preparations for enter taining them on the way. Therefore, Mrs. Faye Haywood, extension ta/mlly relations -spec ialist, North Carolina State Uni versity, .suggests you let the chil dren help you pack a "play case." This, she says, can be a doll suit: .are, carry-all zipper bag^or a carj’.joard box. Or, if you wish, you mlgiit pLue all items in the pocla-ls of a (losct slioe holder The N. C. crop is the best in 5, years and on November 1 was! estimated at 145,000 bales -from 1 an excellent yield of 422 pounds | of lint per acre Uiough 150,OtX) bales appears to be a better esti mate at this time,” says Stall-1 mg.s. “l.'verall we liave liail a ri'la- tlvely good cotton year in Nortti Carolina, partially dee to a very low boll weevil survival last win ter following the below zera tem peratures. Then the icrop was planted on time and there were excellent stands over the state. A fairly good insect control pro- grtim was followed and the wea ther overall was good. Good yields and favorable prices have follow ed this fall to clo.se out the sea- ■son on a good note.” and attach it to the back of the front scat. For the "play case,” select sev eral small toys the chlMren en joy; such as a truck, car, doll and blanket or stuffed animals. Then add some -favorite books, and cre ative materials, such as ;i pack of scrap paixjr, a pair of blunt end scissors, and a -box of crayons to help while away tlie miles. A batch of colored pipe cleaners might keep children basy for a while and puppets of all kinds are good mind-occupiers, too. Try a magnet on a .<5tring and paper fish with paper clip mouths to catch. If your trip will cover several days, you may wish to wrap sur prise packages for the children to open at a particular time each day or when they reach certain circled places on .the map. Also, brush up on your songs -and add story telling to your list of activities. Guessing games and .■-•earehing games are other ways to relieve monotony. Local Alnmni EainAwaid DUE WEST. S.
