Does the Coe Insurance Agency now have a similar package policy, including theft and liability, for churches, schools, and insti tutions7” COE Insurance Cl Realty Company 217 East King St. 264-8256 UNWANTED FLOWER—The delicate blooms at the top of a stalk of tobacco may be pretty to view, but seldom reach their peak, and blend so evenly into the scene that they often go unnoticed. County Agent Woody Richardson explains that the blooms absorb too much of the plant food, so that leaves near the top of the stalk are underfed and smaller than leaves lower on the stalk. By topping the bloom, the tobacco grower is allowing for development of larger leaves on the plant. Usually the topping is done before the suckering, which is the process of cleaning rmall leaf buds, or suckers, off the stalk. A chemical called MH-30, properly used, inhibits the growth of suckers, which also drain plant food from the leaves. Generally, tobacco looks pretty good, Richardson says, although damp, cool weather has stunted the growth of some crops. He says with pretty days up until harvest, some'exceilenf trops may be produced. Several farmers are cutting tobacco before it has ripened, in order to avoid an early killing frost.
