OVERMAN, CHOWAN COUNTY EXTENSION CHAIRMAN Scurf On Sweet Pota- • toes: Scurf in a skin dis ease which darkens the skin, often causing skin cracking of sweet pota toes. The disease definite ly impairs the market qual ity and often the flavor. Here are some facts about scurf. It is a fun gus disease. Scurfy roots will produce diseased sprouts. It is contagious to new roots or plants by contact. Healthy plants may become infected by con taminated containers. Only underground portions of plants are affected. The disease lives over in soil. It is usually worse in rainy seasons. Scurf spots may enlarge in storage. Spores are easily released by handling and are car ried by air.

Broad Street Edenton, N. C. wH I jH xIT ■■ Citizens of Edenton I have worked very hard for the past three years to give the good citizens of Edenton a better voice in their government. This work has included: • Attending all the council meetings for the past three years. • Studying all the actions taken by the council and the E&W Board since 1955. • Studying the town’s budget for the past years, along with the salaries of all town employees. • I have obtained (from our local library and the University of North Carolina) books on local and state government • On issues where added information was needed I have written the Attorney General of N. C. I have done all these things so as not to handicap our town in any way, were they to elect me as their Mayor. As I have stated, I have worked for YOU the past three years without any official office. I assure you 1 would work even harder for each and every citizen as your Mayor. I earnestly solicit your support for Mayor, Town of Edenton, on Tuesday, May 2. THANK YOU, Roy L Harrell measures: Use scurf-free potatoes and sprouts. Treat seed before bedding.

Use clean containers and stor age for sprouts. Use at least a 3 to 4 year field rotation. Thoroughly dis infect storage houses, old containers and harvesting equipment before harvest. Home Garden Vegetable Varieties: There are many varieties of different vege tables, some of which are superior in eating quality and also for home freez ing. The following are some of the varieties with the better freezing variety listed first: Bush snapbeans: Wade, THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY, APRIL M. IM7. ;|9| 4 Tendergreen; pole snap beans: Kentucky Wonder, 191, Blue Lake and Mc- Caslan are preferred; for bush lima beans you may wish to use Fordhook 242, Burpee Improved Ford hook, Thorogreen or Nema green.

For spring and summer squash my preference is Yellow Straight Neck and for winter squash Butter nut or Table Queen. To mato varieties in our area should be of the wilt re sistant type and these in clude Homestead, Marion, Manapal and also Big Boy is a very good tomato.

Sweet corn pre ferred varieties are Silver Queen, Golden Security SENATOR A SAMERVIN JgJlj| WASHINGTON Federal aid programs have pyra mided to such an extent in recent years that Con gress is being forced to look at the administrative problems which have been created. Almost daily, I receive complaints from constitu ents who assert that they are confused by the dupli cation, triplication and quadruplication of federal programs promoting health, education and welfare pro jects. The problem seems to grow with each Con- Small Accepts Texas Position Murray J. Small, a na tive of Edenton, has ac cepted the position of ad ministrator of East Dallas (Tex.)

All this has come about because of grants-in aid programs have increased rapidly in numbers in the last decade. As a result, administrators in three or more different agencies may have to deal with the same application for a par ticular community facility or project. Worse still, agency officials sometimes cannot give comprehensive information to guide citi zens in their applications for grants-in aid because they are unable to keep up with the multiplicity of federal programs. For this reason, last year I urged the President to take steps to bring or der out of the administra tive chaos of conflicting jurisdiction and overlap ping grants-in aid pro grams. The President has now recommended to Con gress that legislation be enacted to permit the con solidation of such pro grams into new adminis trative systems. The Sen ate Intergovernmental Re lations Subcommittee, of which I am a member, has before it several legis lative bills that deal with this need. One of these bills, S. 698, gives the' President authority to initiate steps to consolidate germane grants -in aid ' programs. Some of its provisions are controversial. These re late to committee jurisdic j tion over consideration of reorganization plans sub , mitted by the President. There is also the larger issue of whether Congress ought to initiate the revi sions rather than vesting merger powers in the President Thus the bill does raise some meaning ful questions that will have to be resolved. All of this legislation points to the real need i • OPEN FRIDAY NIGHTS TIL 9 6 FT. OUTDOOR REDWOOD PICNIC SET p . HAS 2 HANDY END BENCHES SEATS 8!

BELK-TYLERS OF EDENTON for attention to the whole realm of federal aid pro grams, their cost and how they shall fit into a chang ing society. There is much argument over federal aid, federal control and tax sharing by the federal government with the states. The most immediate prob lem of the moment, how ever, concerns none of these, but how to make what we already have work better. Federal grants to the states, com munities and individuals constitute a large part of federal expenditures, and as of 1965 amounted to more than sls billion a year. This represents a 300 per cent increase in the cost of such programs since 1956. Because so many are recipients of these grants, it is safe to say that no matter what is said about them, they will be around for the next decade. For this Con gress and the administra tion ought to eliminate the chaos now surrounding these programs by bring ing some order to the ad ministration of these pro grams and their vast funds. I hope that Congress will take some needed steps in this direction soon.
