For Good Gaiden
The gardens thousand^ of Tar
Heels are now planting or plan
ning for will be the buffet for
a host of h'Ungry, damaging
soll-bome pests during the spring
and summer. Controlling these
invisible feeders can be one of the
gardener’s most important jobs.
■Nematodes and other soil-
borne pests can be largely con
trolled 'by good soil management
and proper use of chemical soil
treatments, such as a nematiclde.
Here are some suggestions by]
Nortjj Carolina State University
plant pathologists Charles W. i
Averre and J. C. Weis:
For good soli management,
(1) Rotate the garden site with
small grains or grasses. (2) In
tHe fall of the year or earlier, re
move the' crop aloirg with the
roots and plow. (3) Seed the site
with small grain. 14) In the early
spring plow it several times. (5)
Apply the nematicide after the
soil temperature at 4 inches
depth is over 55 degrees and the

FOI
COUNTY COMMISSIONER
I will not try to run on the past records of the board because I am not proud of them. I will run the
same way this year that I have many times in the past three and one-half years. By myself.
I voted against the tremendous tax value increase for many reasons. The two main reasons are (1) the
amount was far too high and (2) I do not feel the board of commissioners will vote to cut the tax rate low
enough to offset most of the increase. This cut-back co uld and should have been done at the time of re-evalu
ation. I will continue to work for the lowest tax value and rate. I feel the tax rate can below a dollar per 100
dollar value.
I voted against the additional Ic sales tax that was added on by the board of commissioners. I feel that if
additional taxes are needed the fairest way is through the sales tax. In my vote against the tax I had to con
sider that the additional sales tax was voted against bv over a seven to one majority by the entire county.
The people of this county are the ones who pay the bills and I feel they should have’ been considered.
If a qualified county manager is found, and I do mean qualified, I will vote for him. I now feel that a
person who knows the laws for county government, knows county finances up one side and down both of
them, has the ability and will control the various, de partments in the county as needed I will vote to pay
him for services rendered to the county. I do not feel that a person who applies for the job for the title only,
a person who makes his day sitting in the office just to grin aiYd shake hands with the various county offic
ials and department heads and ride around in the county manager’s car will be worth his salt.
I felt at the last election that a financial statement should De published in the oaper at least quarterly. I
tried at least twelve times to get this approved on a regular basis by the board. Many times my motion did
not get a second and only one time was it published. I will continue to work for this statement to let you
know at least quarterly what is needed and where your money is being spent,
i If re-elected to the board of commissioners, I will continue to act as a repi'csentative of every citizen of
L Cleveland County. I will not be controlled by any individual or special group. I will continue to carry out
B your wishes for the good of our entire county.
