SAM ERVIN
, SAYS «
Washington • Long Senate I
sessions reflect the quickening j
rate of legislation Action on a
number of important bills.
The Labor Bill
The major debate of last week
concerned the Kennedy-Ives La
bor Bill.
This legislation grew out of
the disclosures of abuse and cor
ruption made by the Senate Se
lect Committee on Improper Ac
tivities in the Labor-Manage
ment Field. Earlier attempts to
write haphazard labor law on the
floor of the Senate by amend
ments to the Welfare and Pen
sion Fund Bill were rejected.
The Senate, and in my opinion
rightly so, insisted upon follow
ing propel procedure of commit
tee hearings and a report. As
promised, the Kennedy labor sub
committee held extensive hear
ings and drafted the present bill.
The bill was subsequently re
ported favorably by the full La-,
bor Committee with only one
dissenting vote. The bipartisan
nature of the bill was. shown
in its title, bearing the names of j
its Republican and Democratic j
sponsors, Senator Ives and Ken
nedy.
Politics Injected
It is unfortunate that 'in the,
last hours certain administra-)
tion leaders chose to injject parti
san politics into the debate.
Secretary of Labor Mitchell’s
words that the bill was worse
than no bill at all seem dictated
either by ignorance of its pro
visions or by desire for campaign
material. Some spokesmen, it
would appear, prefer an ssue to
legislation.
Positive Provisions ‘
The Kennedy-Ives Labor Bill
does not cover the entire area
AROUND THE FARMS IN CHOWAN
By C. W. OVERMAN, Chowan County Agent
Cotton Insect Situation: A
county-wide cotton insect'survey
made on Monday, June 16, shows
no insect infestation as yet. One
or more fields in each communi
ty were examined.
Ladybugs were found in every
field examined. This insect is
the cotton growers’ friend. It
feeds very little on the cotton
but its larvae, which look like lit
tle alligators, feed on lice and the
eggs of detrimental insects. An
unnecessary application of dust
at this time would kill the lady
bugs giving lice and other insects
a chance to build up. We see no
need of applying any insecticides
at this time. Each grower should
examine his own field and treat
each of the fields as necessary.
We will make the weekly sur
vey again this year and publish
our findings.
Nematode in Peanuts: The
sting nematode is appearing in
several more fields this year.
The infestation is usually spot
ted. An area of one acre or more
has been found in two fields with
spotted areas over the remainder.
Nemagon is being used to check
the nematode. Using a 17.3 mate
rial we are applying 100 pounds
per acre. The chemical is in very
small pellet form. It must be ap
plied to both sides of the peanuts,
about six to eight inches from the
peanuts and four to six inches
deep. The material must be cov
ered well immediately. Good
working tractor side-placement
‘fertilizer drills are being used to
apnly the material.
Results at the research station
have shown nemagon to be very
profitable in controlling nema
tode particularly to growing
crops. This is our first experi
ence in using it for controlling
the pest in Chowan County.
Vegetable Market: Snap beans
and squash continued to move
and cucumbers began to move on
Monday. Prices were moderately
low, particularly on snap beans,
some of which did not receive a
bid.
, The quality of cucumbers is
looking quite good, kfrost of the
receipts are being graded, wax
ed, and packed in new baskets.
This makes a very attractive
package of good quality.
Plant Disaasa Troubles: Every
day the county agent is being
called tb one ot more fields to ob
serve plant disease troubles.
Some of -them we can do some
thing about now. but most of
them we have to observe and plan
for the future.
Wilt is the main problem being
found in watermelons. Sting
nematode is being found In pea
f where abuses have been found.
Jj It does not go as far in some
Instances as the McClellan in
vestigations have indicated need
; for corrective laws. I supported
. some tightening amendments to
the act. But the bill as report
■ ed from committee does include
. positive provisions for the pro
. tection of the rank and file
. worker and for the encouarge
. ment of honest unionism. Among
, its provisions is the requirement
, for full reporting and disclosure
. of union operations and financial
. dealings of officials, with crimi
nal penalties for failure to re
, port and false entry. It provides
. criminal penalties for the de
. struction of union records. It
; makes embezzlement of union
funds a Rederal offense. It for
. bids anyone convicted of a seri
ous crime from holding union of
. fice until his voting rights have
. been restored by the State. The
. bill guarantees the right of se
, cret ballot to union members in
i the election of their officers and
! ! requires that the elections be
■ !held within a stipulated time.
Limits are placed upon the es
tablishment and the duration of
trusteeships, with legal machin
. ery to dissolve trusteeships in
' violation of these limits.
These provisions are in. line
' with the recommendations of the
i McClellan Committee and they
have received Senator McClel
lan’s support. They are a step
forward in curbing abuses now
existent in the labor-management
; field and at the same time the£
do not penalize honest unions.
Our Select Committee will con
tinue its investigations and fur
ther recommendations will be!
forthcoming.
Plant samples have been sent to
the plant disease clinic at State
College.
We do not profess to know ev
erything about plant diseases and
insects, but we -do know quite a
bit. Unless growers cal] on us,
particularly when they observe
trouble in the early stages, we
don’t know that the trouble is
there and have no opportunity to
diagnose it, and help the grower.
We want growers to call on us
when they feel they need us. In
most cases we can diagnose the
trouble and recommend control
measures are known.
