Thuraday, August 5,1976 Gives Sapport RALEIGH—Mrs. Caro lina Fletcher Baum of Chapel Hill, one of North Carolina's leading conservationist, has thrown her full support behind E. Frank Stephenson, Jr., Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor. Stephenson, 36, is a native of Murfreesboro; where he has spent the past 10 years as Director of Admissions for Chowan College. Also for the same length of time he served as executive director for the award winning Community Development and Historic Preservation Program now underway in Murfreesboro. As a result of his untiring efforts; working entirely on a volunteer basis, Stephenson raised over $1,000,000 for community development projects in Murfreesboro. Mrs. Baum has been the driving force behind the successful movement to save Jockey’s Ridge at Nags Head. Mrs. Baum has giveip her support to Stephenson because of bis proven personal interest and support of conservation and preservation programs throughout North Carolina. Stephenson said of Mrs. Baum, “I am extremely honored to have gaihed the support of Carolista Baum and I deeply appreciate her untiring efforts to save Jockey's Ridge. It is impressive as to the broad, statewide contacts Mrs. * Baum has. She will be a tremendous asset to us, in our effort to serve all of the 1 people of N. C. as the next lieutenant governor.” According to the latest W. H. Long political poll; a runoff primary between House Speaker Jimmy ' Green, an old line politician, and Stepehnson is assured for September 14. 1 r EDUCATIONAL LOANS for Farm Families Higher education costs a lot more these days.

Seeder* Director HOOTS A MEMORABLE TRIP- After almost three weeks and close to 3000 miles of traveling, my mind is a jumble of impressions and memories of an unforgettable journey which combined business with pleasure in a very enjoyable way. My main object was to attend the Centennial Conference of the American Library Association in Chicago and that proved to be a fitting celebration for 100 years of library service. The programs were planned to include some of the finest speakers in our profession and I felt privileged to be in • audience. In this year of the Bicentennial, it seems fitting that the president of ALA is. a representative of two minorities - she is a black woman - but more importantly from my standpoint, she is the director of a large public library (Detroit) and thus very aware of the problems of public libraries. Clara Jones made a formal speech at her inanguration banquet but I enjoyed her informal remarks at the Public > Relations Preconference even more. Two other impressive personages were the new Librarian of Congress, Daniel Boorstin and the man who almost stole the show when he introduced Boorstin - Keyes Metcalf, librarian emeritus of Harvard. Mr. Metcalf claims to be 87 years old but he certainly didn’t look it or sound like it. His professional career covers a span which made it possible for him to know personally and work cloSely with every Librarian at Cbngress in this century. The secret is that the earliest one served the nation for 40 years! In any case, Mr. Metcalf had something cogent and something amusing to tell about each of them. After listening to his delightful talk, Boorstin had a tough act to follow but he made a good speech. By profession, Boorstin is an historian rather than a librarian but he made friends with us and shared the good news that President Ford is finally calling for a White House Conference on Libraries and Information Science. SCREECHES. LONG WAY HOME—It is always good to get home after a trip but I crammed a lot of activity into that week long journey. My first stop after Chicago and a long day’s drive was Buffalo,, where I visited some friends I hadn’t seen for almost 15 years. The Catskills Mountain area was my next stop. Thai two days in-New York City and an overnight stay inWashington, D. C., before pausing briefly in Raleigh to recite my adventures to my family. Space doesn’t permit me to complete my account of this exciting journey so look for more detail next week. News From Chowan Coanty Extension Office K. M. Thompson County Kxt. Agent By this time most of the peanut farmers should have used boron at the rate of 2% lb. of Solubor to the acre. It is still not too late. We also suggest that if you are going to apply material for the southern com root worm on peanuts that this is the week to do so. The materials that are available are difonate, mocap, dasnit or thimet. We would suggest that you also keep check for the white mold or southern stem rot. We have had some of this to already show up in certain fields. Terraclor is the material that we suggest for control of southern stem rot. If we have a dry August, you need to check your peanuts regularly for spider mites. They can cause a great deal of damage id a build up occurs as it did in 1975. The leaf control in most fields I have seen has been adequate. This means that we should continue with a good spray program to make sure the leaf spot does not get out of hand. There have been reports of beet army worm appearing in soybeans. This pest defoliates soybeans and will do so in a short while if the infestation is heavy. Our suggestion for control of this is lanate. In 1973 we had quite a big problem with this pest. I would also suggest that you check your beans for the com ear worm in the next 3 or 4 weeks. They feed on pods. If you have problems with morning glories or cocklebur in soybeans, it is fast approaching the time that we can apply 2,4-DB which is sold as Butyrac or Butoxone at the rate of a pint to the acre. The time of application is 2 weeks before the soybeans begin to bloom up to blooming and a little beyond. If you have questions concerning these recommendations, please contact us. i I THE CHOWAN HRRAIJI ■ IcS iiPP I BSH 1114 RSnHHHf tut.. CITIZEN OF THE MONTH —CpI. William E.

A nicely applied layer of'clean mulch can also add to the beauty of a planting of shrubbery or flowers. Where an “is land” planting is made in the lawn, for example, pine straw can set this off attractively and give the planting area defini tion. Another plus for mulches: They help keep down weeds.
