Thursday. February 10, 1983 Fumigating The Soil May Be The Answer To The Tomato Problems If you had troubles with your tomatoes wilting and dy ing last season, perhaps you need to clean your soil before next season. Often tomatoes quit produc ing after mid-July and begin to look like they aren’t getting enough energy. If that describes yours, perhaps they had root-knot nematodes. The photograph shows root knot nematodes on the roots of a Better Boy plant pulled from the soil in late September, 1982. Extension authorities say this tomato probably produced a first crop of fruit that was gathered in July. Fruit pro duced after that was stunted and gnarled like the green tomato being held. Cleaning the soil will con trol root-knot nematodes plus soil diseases, weeds and some insects. Nematodes are an in creasing problem and often go unidentified except that the gardener knows the plants aren’t growing properly. If you pull up your beets, car rots or radishes and they have warts on them, that’s often a result of soil nematodes. One product approved for cleaning garden soil by fumigation is called Vapam. It’s packaged and distributed by lending formula tors across the country. You can find it at your local garden center. It must be used early - at least two to three weeks ahead of the time you expect to put seed or plants in the soil. It is applied by mixing with, water and sprinkling over the garden and then | I I Now Through Monday y I ■ Kw tri/ 1 1 ill — f/ #0 discount on j I |P ALL Whirlpool Appliances I I microwaves l P_^, I REFRIGERATORS \ sS hl| | FREEZERS 1 I DRYERS* DISHWASHERS I W\SHERS Mitchener Village Edenton OPEN 8:00 - 5:30 Mon.-Fri. • • 9:00 -12 Noon Saturday I —FREE DELIVERY— 1 “We Service What We Sell" watering in thoroughly. Always follow label directions carefully. Properly applied, Vapam kills diseases, nematodes and weeds in the garden plus some soil insects. A 20’ x 20’ garden can be fumigated for about sls. Getting rid of weeds and diseases is worth more than that to most home gardeners since they seem always to be a problem in most everyone’s vegetable and flower garden. Knowing for sure you are eliminating a nematode pro blem, if you have one, makes soil fumigation something that most home gardeners will want to do each year in the future. Gardening in the future may mean that you clean your garden before you plant It can save a lot of headaches later on.

COA Scholarship For Construction Students Funded A scholarship for students enrolled in construction trades programs at College of The Albemarle was funded last week by the Northeastern Homebuilders Association. Residents from five of the seven counties served by the college may apply for the $200.00 annual award. Association president W.P. Harris explained that the organization’s membership is drawn from Camden, Chowan, Currituck, Pas quotank, and Perquimans counties. The NHA scholar ship committee, chaired by Larry Johnson, restricted ap plicants to residents from the membership territory. Harris said, “We’re pleas ed to think that we can help to give some deserving person a good start.” Potential reci pients must show a need for financial assistance as a re quirement for eligibility. The award will provide $156 for four-quarters of in-state tui tion, S2B for student activity fees, and the remaining sl6 may be used toward the pur chase of textbooks. Dr. J. Parker Chesson, Jr., COA president, and Norman Johnson, light construction in structor, were present to ac cept the gift from the organization. Both men ex pressed their appreciation for the homebuilders’ confidence in the college and the continu ing growth of the area. Chesson stressed low tuition as an important factor in put ting college transfer, technical, and occupational education within reach for most Albemarle area adults. “You can’t find a better price for higher education anywhere in the state,” he said, “than the $39 per quarter tuition fee charged by the 58 schools that comprise the N.C. system of communi ty colleges.” Students who enroll in any of the building trades pro grams at COA can apply for the scholarship. Programs are presently offered in Elec trical Installation and Maintenance, Air Condition ing and Refrigeration, Light Construction, and Drafting and Design Technology. With the exception of drafting, which is a two-year degree program, the others are one year in scope. Applications must be sub mitted by June 1,1983. Forms may be obtained from the Stu dent Financial Aid Office at the college. Halley's Comet's spectacular tail is about 37 million miles long.

MATTHEW Carpet Cleaning Service Phone COLERAIN 356-2343 Page 7-A Blue Cross & Blue Shield Joins Fight DURHAM—BIue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina has endorsed Gov. James B. Hunt, Jr.’s efforts to reduce the number of drunk drivers on North Carolina highways. Actuarial data compiled by the state’s largest health in surer shows that a one per cent reduction in the number of drunk drivers on North Carolina highways coud save an estimated 10 lives and up to $500,000 which is being spent unnecessarily for medical costs. In 1981, medical care necessitated by alchol-related motor vehicle accidents cost North Carolinians a conser vatively estimated SSO-million. “Drunk drivers account for a very high proportion of all automobile accidents,” said Blue Cross President Thomas A. Rose. “Statistics indicate that drinking drivers are in volved in 50 to 60 per cent of all serious accidents.” “We applaud Gov. Hunt in his efforts to get these ir responsible drivers off the road. Innocent people are be ing killed or seriously injured because of drinking drivers and millions of dollars are be ing spent unnecessarily for medical costs. Getting drunk drivers off the roads is one of the best ways we know to save lives and conserve health care dollars for North Carolina citizens.”
