take fifth in the long jump.
The mile relay team of Dave
Wolter of Lakeville, Mike
Harland of Antioch, HI.,
Larry Burgess of Spring
Hope, N. C. and Boston
completed the Mustang
scoring with fifth place in
3:43.3.
Looking ahead to the
outdoor season, Coach Jones
expects a great deal from
the relay teams.
“Both the sprint and mile
relay squads possess great
capability with a good
chance of breaking school
records. With more work,
they should show marked
improvement and extra
confidence,” he predicted.
Willie Ray Bond of
Edenton is expected to add
speed to the mile relay team
when he replaces distance
man Mike Harland.
Freshman Dennis Roberts
of New York Mills is another
bright spot as he broke
school records in the 60-yard
high and 60-yard in
termediate hurdle events in
the NIC meet. Another
scoring threat for the
Mustangs will be Nels
Erickson of Montevideo in
the 880. Handling the
distance work this spring
will b£ Harland, Grey Sch
midt of Redwood Falls and
Neil Kruse of Verdi. In the
sprints, Steve Tarara of
Rochester and Dexter
Cooley of Bunn, N. C. are
expected to push the others
for positions and also serve
as alternates on the relay
teams.
The Mustangs open their
1977 outdoor season March
29, when they travel to Sioux
Falls for the Augustana
Open. They return home to
host the annual Banana
Relays on Saturday, April 2.
Holiday Flowers Arrive 0a Time
Through Predsioß Growing
It’s no coincidence that
Easter lilies will unfold their
delicate white flowers this
year during the first 10 days
of April.
Nor is it accidental that
hydrangias and chrysan
themums will blossom just
before Mother’s Day.
Most greenhouse plants
and flowers are carefully
manipulated during their
growing cycle to assure that
they reach their peak at
holiday seasons, thus
resulting in better sales for
growers.
“If you tell us when the
holiday is,” says N. C. State
University research hor
ticulturist Vincent P.
Bonami iio, “we’ll have a
plant for you.”
The greenery and
blossoms can seemingly be
programmed like a com
puter or tailor-made like an
expensive suit of clothing.
But, floriculturists must
combine the exact amounts
of light, temperature,
nutrients and other
variables to make the
precision growing possible.
At NCSU, Bonaminio and
other horticulturists use the
$2.4 million Phytotron,
which features en
vironmentally controlled
growth chambers, seed
germinator cabinets and
temperature - controlled
greenhouses, to study how
plants react to different
conditions.
The Easter lilies you’ll
soon buy were being
monitored and pampered by
greenhouse growers well
before their Christmas
poinsettias left the shelves.
Most of the lily bulbs used
on the East Coast come

V. A. Questions
And Answers
Q—Why is my VA pension
allowance reduced when I
receive an increase in Social
Security benefits?
A—VA pension is payable
to wartime veterans with
permanent and total
disabilities, not resulting
from service. The monthly
stipend is based on the
amount of annual income a
pensioner receives from
other sources. Social
Security payments and
other retirement benefits,
less a 10 per cent exclusion
allowed by law, are included
in the annual income.
from Washington State or
Oregon. The bulbs, if
shipped directly from the.
fields instead of being stored*
first, will arrive here in mid-
November. Growers will pot
them and allow the bulbs to
grow for about three weeks.
Next, the bulbs are moved
to cold storage for about six
weeks. Bud initiation begins
now, and because lilies are
sold according to the
number of blooms, this is a
critical time.
The lilies then return to
the greenhouse where they
are grown at precise tem
peratures. The temperature
depends on how long the
grower left the lilies in cold
storage and whether Easter
falls early or late in the
spring.
This is called the “forcing
period,’ because the grower
has control over how fast or
how slowly the plants will
grow.
Using the Phytotron,
Bonaminio has monitored
how the temperature during
this forcing period affects
the plant’s height and the
number of buds.
The cooler the tem
perature, the shorter the
plants. However, the
flowers will probably last
longer, he says.
For more buds, growers
should maintain 38 degrees
Farenheit in the cold
storage chamber.
“Easter lilies are a
complex crop to work with,”
Bonaminio says, “but one
that has great returns.”
Peanut Demand
Is Moderate
Southeastern Section—
Demand for Southeastern
Grown peanuts was
moderate during the week
ending March 25. Trading
was fairly active for light
offerings and prices rose
slightly higher. Continued
export inquiries gave
strength the market for
U. S. on grade runners. Cool
weather during the week,
with minimum tem
peratures reported in the
low to mid 30’s delayed
planting of the new crop.
Planting was expected to
begin in about two weeks.
Shipments were made as
scheduled. Prices paid per
pound for shelled funner
type peanuts selling on an
‘FOB shipping point basis for
prompt through April
shipment were: Jumbo 35 to .
35-one third cents; Medium
34%; Number Ones 31% to
32; and U. S. Splits 26% to
27.
Virginia-North Carolina
Section—Demand for
Virginia and North Carolina
grown peanuts was good
during the week ending
March 25. Trading was
fairly light due to the limited
offerings. Prices advanced
sharply especially for in
shell grades. Supplies
decreased as more shelters

Plants Daring
Hot Weather
Replenish Mulch
To Save Water
Mulching home landscape
plants now can save the
homeowner headaches later
when the weather is hot and
dry.
If you haven’t done it yet,
mulch around azaleas,
camellias and roses. If these
plants were lhulched some
time ago, the mulch should
be replinished, according to
North Carolina State
University agricultural
extension specialists.
Mulch will help conserve
moisture, keep soil in
sulated against the summer
heat and help reduce weed
problems.
The mulch, when settled,
should be at least two inches
thick. Use such materials as
pine straw or shredded
bark.
