CONSOLIDATION
NOT POPULAR NOW
Raleigh, Jan. 24.—One movement
looking toward consolidation of
| counties as an economic measure met
untimely death in the House. It pro.
j vlded for a commission, composed
of ehe governor, the lieutenant gov
ernor and the -chief justice of the
supreme court, with two others nam
ed by the Governor, to study and
make a report to the 1933 General
j Assembly on possible consolidations.
| A movement two years ago to eon.
I
solidate Forsyth and Stokes counties
t failed- Efforts to get counties to.
1 get her in t lie manner suggested have
I
so far met with no success.
Governor Ehrlnghaus, in his inau
gural address suggested legislation.
I
Which would provide "full oppor.
tunity for voluntary consolidation of
J counties through popular approval ii
I every county affected." also for con
solidating county and city or town
and for consolidating particular
functions. The bill killed In the
House, however, was not his meas.
ure.
In 1931 two laws were enacted,
one permitting joint operation of
jail*, the other of county homes, by
■ two or more counties. Legislation
j will bo sought to permit a similar
provision for health work, wh'ich is
now being conducted in Forsyth.
Yadkin and Stokes counties without
legislative sanction.
This «>rt of Joint action is looked
f upon as a possible way of finally

Scatter Grain Straw ]
Over Tobacco Bed
A tbi" coating of grain straw .-•■•a'. .'

the rate of about 23 or 3o poll nib- to
each 100 square yard- of bed will lvi.ld
mlosture. keep the plants warmer,
prevent frost injury.
I
"This practice of using a light ov. '
erjng of straw over the tobacco plant '
beds is an old. veil established cus
tom among good tobaei •> growers in '
the northern part of Guilford County
and the folks there have found it
much superior to tine other method
of preparing bed- with poles or plank
and covering," says E. Y. Floyd, ex
tension tobacco specialist at State
i
College, who recommends the plan to
othler growers of the .State,
i I
In using this plan, the beds should
lie fertilized, prepared and sowed as
they are now. Just as soon as the
beds have bden packed, add the
i
light covering of straw, broadcasted
i
j thinly and uniformly. 'Never leave
i
too muoil straw at one place. Then j
the canva-s is placed over the "straw
I
and Pegged t> the grotund with j
I small pegs placed at an angle about
1 |
two feet apart around the edge of.
the bed.
In addition to keeping the plants
warmer and holding moisture. Mr
Floyd says the flea bugs are not so
bad where this method is used- Witn
•this thin covering of straw in plac-?,
no poles or planks are needed about
the bed. Then too, Floyd says, the
. plants are much earlier and more
j uniform in stand- If the weather is
dry, the straw should not be removed '
' except for "grassing" the beds. Then !
I put the straw back in place. In wet'
| weather, after the plants get big
enough to cover the ground, it might j
be an advantage to take off the
straw.
I
Mr. Floyd hias never seen any frost
injury with this type of bod. It is
inexpensive and has been effective.
When other growers were suffering'
from att.lck.-4 of blue mold, the upper j
Guilford folks had plenty of strong
plants.
