Garden Time Trouble with Boxwoods May Be Traced to Site By M. E. GARDNER N. C. State University Many times boxwood troubles are difficult to diagnose. Many home gardeners attempt to grow these plants out of their range of adaptabil ity, which compounds problems. The two most common types are: the American boxwood, and the English boxwood. Neither of these types are adapted to our coastal plains region but do best in the Piedmont and mountains. The J apanese box (Buxus microphylla japonica) is more heat tolerant and better adapted for growth in the coastal areas. Boxwoods grow best in semi-shaded locations with some protection from cold, drying winds in the winter season. If some protection from cold winds is not afforded, there is likely to occur a mild form of cold damage expressed by bronze foliage in the spring. This is usually not serious and the plants will recover when new Bears Close' In On Title By JIGGS POWERS ASH — Bolivia’s Bears drew nearer to a second straight Brunswick County Conference baseball championship here, Tuesday afternoon, with a 7-1 decision over the Waccamaw Eagles. The win made Coach Joe Best’s defending champion Bruins 6-0 in the league and 10-5 for the season, overall. It was Bolivia’s third win over the Eagles. David Watkins was the winning pitcher, leaving in favor of Wayne Rabon with a 4-0 lead in the 5th inning. Watkins held, the Eagles hitless and only Davis Milligan’s single off Rabon in the 5th frame kept the Bruin duet from pitching a no hitter. Bolivia touched Milligan, going the route on the mound for Waccamaw, for 8 hits, including 2 for 4, by Wayne Rabon, one a 2-run homer in the second inning when the Bears scored thrice. Watkins had 2 for 3 and Catcher Ernie Flowers Joined his battery mates with a lusty triple.

The Bruins are due to go to Waccamaw Tuesday at 4 p.m. for a Brunswick County Confrence game; go to Leland, Friday night, and then host Topsail here in a non-league contest, the following Tuesday. Randy Rabon hit 3 for 3, two of them doubles and Ernie Flowers was 2 for 4, with a double for the Bears here, Friday. Leftfielder Pierick belted a 2-run homer in the lst-inning and Short stop Tilson was 2 for 4 for Hoggard. Bolivia’s winning runs came in the 7th as Randy Rabon walked, Ernie Flowers singled, Gene Ward walked to fill the bases; Burwin Mercer’s squeeze bunt scored Rabon with the tying tally and a wild pitch scored Flowers with the winner.

The soil should be reasonably good, well drained and aerated. Equal volumes of peat and soil placed around the plants at setting time tm will help. Don’t set pi ants too deeply. Place the ball (whether from con tainer or balled and burlapped) even with the soil level, mulch and keep moist after setting. Two applications of fertilizer, such as an 8-8-8, are usually sufficient. Make the first application when growth starts in the spring; and the second about the middle of June. Spread the fertilizer evenly over wmm ■mum Mrs. Hargrove Bowles, wife of the Democratic gubernatorial candidate from Greensboro, campaigned for her husband Tuesday in Brun swick County when she visited Long Beach, Yaupon Beach and Southport for brief stops. the root system and awaj from the trunk of the plant.

F or branch blight, twig blight and Phy tophthora blight, J. C. Wells, extension path ologist, suggests the use of the following fungicidal spray schedule, using Ferbam: first spray, as new leaves are breaking out of the buds; second, two weeks later; and third, four weeks later. Sanitation will also help. Remove diseased stems as they appear and keep the plants free of leaves and twigs that fall from the trees. V New Budget Off Course? Don’t Be Discouraged RALEIGH—-How well is the financial plan or budget you made at the beginning of the year working for you? If your estimates for living expenses, savings, contributions, and rec reation have not been satisfactory, don’t be discouraged. Often the first plan doesn’t work, point out extension home economics specialists, North Carolina State University. An emergency may have occurred or circum stances may have changed. And like many other families, you may need to shuffle the plan to meet family needs and wants until the end of the year. To know how well any financial plan fits your family, a systematic check is necessary. You know where your money RESOLUTION Be it resolved by the Board of Commissioners of the Town of Yaupon Beach that the following schedule of discount for tax year 1972-1973 is hereby established. Discount to be as follows: June 1 through June 30 - 2 percent July 1 through July 31 - IV2 percent August 1 through August 31 - 1 percent This schedule will remain in effect until it is repealed by the Board of Commissioners.

Your system need not be elaborate, but it should show you how to spend your money, the specialists indicate. Food, for example, is not the only “nibbler” on the best of plans. Any Today, progressive growers are adopting a new system of integrated insect and mite control which calls for management, rather than extermination, of pest populations. thoughtless spending of quarters, dimes and nickels can cause trou ble. Unexpected ex penses or emergencies, such as broken glasses or a plumber’s repair bill, can cramp your plans. Bills for a number of emergencies may completely cripple your spending plan. But when you know what your family is spending and for what, it’s easier to make ad justments, the spe cialists add'. You can begin an account book any time of the year; you don’t have to wait until the beginning of the year. Keep your plan simple and it won’t become a burden.
