The Parent-Teacher Associa tion will meet Friday afternoon of this week at the school build ing. source. Food can be contaminated from just the touch of our hands. Then, given a few hours at summer temperatures, picnic and cook- out delicacies can become an un suspected menace because of contamination by rapidly repro ducing “yellow staph” germs. These germs produce entero- toxln, the cause of most food poisoning episodes. ("Ptomaine poison” Is acommonlyusedmis label.) Contrary to public opinion, too, cooking destroys only the germ but not the toxin, so durable that It may not be destroyed even by 30 minutes of boiling. Since the source of the con tamination Is the human body — staph being “resident bacteria” which are usually carried by hu man hands - precautions against picnic and cookout poisoning • should begin with hand cleanli ness. In fact it is now known that food handling by hands that are not scrupulously clean accounts for a major portion of food-pois oning outbreaks. One of the methods which med icine has developed to deal with the resistant “staph” Is a tech nique similar to that used by sur geons in preoperative scrub bings. It Involves the use of an antibacterial cleanser. Proper refrigeration is anoth er essential safety measure, es pecially for hot-weather dishes. A leaflet Issued by the U. S. Pub lic Health Service advises house wives to “take special care in storing foods consisting In whole or In part of milk, eggs, meat, poultry, fish, or shellfish. Includ ing such dishes as cream pies, custards, and potato salads.” Leftover foods should be promptly refrigerated, even If still warm, the leaflet adds. Picnic foods should be as non- perishable as possible. The Pub lic Health Service advises using a portable cooler for salads and whatever other perishable items are necessary. Do not let the cooler sit for long periods with the top off and always try to place It in a cool spot such as under the picnic table or In the shade of a tree. Supply Of Tobacco Af Record High RALEIGH - A recent Inventory by the U.S. Department of Agri culture shows that American dealers and manufacturers have over 5,550 million pounds of to bacco on hand. Stocks of flue-cured, the most widely grown tobacco in North Carolina, accounted for more than half the total. Flue-cured stocks on April 1, 1965, amounted to 2,823 million pounds, or about 75 million more than a year earlier. Burley stocks, which amounted to about 1,700 million pounds, were also up slightly from a year earlier. Of the 5,550 million pounds of tobacco on hand, some 1,367 mil lion pounds of it were under gov ernment loan. This was 282 mil lion pounds more than had been under loan a year earlier. Here again flue-cured tobacco accounted for the lion’s share: 954 million pounds out of the total of 1,367 million pounds under government loan. Other loan stocks Included: hurley, 325 mil lion; Maryland, 16 million; flue- cured, 44 million; dark air- cured, 23 million; and cigar leaf, 5 million.

ASCS Newsletter Recent rains have slowed field compliance work with the result that the work is now approxi mately one week behind normal schedule. Field work has been completed on 25 per cent of the farms In Northampton County and sufficient field personnel have been trained and are now ready to complete initial deter minations on all farms within the next several weeks. Farm op erators should cooperate with the field reporter on his first visit to the farm in order that the op eration may run as smoothly as possible. The first group of notices will be mailed out from the county of fice this week. All committee men are urged to advise farmers that they should contact the coun ty office after they have received toeir notice if there Is any ques tion concerning any acreage de termination. This is Important as certain time limits are In ef fect concerning requests for re- measurement or adjustment of acre^e. The established charge for dis position of excess acreage for program compliance is $5 per farm for one place with $1 ad ditional charge for eaoh addition al place. The Northampton ASCS County Committee has set the following policy as to what con stitutes a place for the 1965 crop year: 1. Disposition around a field in uniform width will be one place regardless of length. 2. If all excess is disposed of in a solid area beginning on one side of the field and all crop is destroyed as you go, it will be classified as one place. 3. Each area computed for a single triangle, sc^are, rectan gle or trapezoid will be classi fied as a place even though it joints other areas disposed of. This policy along with dia grams for illustration will be at tached to all notices having ex cess acreage. A recent amendment covering reconstitution of farm allotments provides for division of allot ments to be made as designated by the farm owner within certain limitations. A farm owner may designate allotments for the farm where a tract or portion of land Is being sold, subject to the following conditions: 1. The sum of the commodity allotments and feed grain bases divided among the tracts shall not exceed the sum of allot ments and bases for the parent farm. 2. The sum of the commodity allotments and feed grain bases designated ■an individual tract Martin Is Brunswick County Agent WHITEVILLE-Archie F. Mar tin, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. H.

Allotments divided In a man ner designated by the farm own er must also be In agreement with the lien holder if there Is a deed of trust against the farm. Feed grain bases are excluded from this type of designation by the farm owner. JACKSON - The recent heavy rains have caused leafspot to be quite active In peanut fields, ac cording to B. H. Harrell, county agent, who suggests that an ap plication of one of the recom mended fungicides be applied as soon as possible. The following materials and rates are suggested by Harrell: Copper sulfur (dust), at rate of 15 lbs. per acre, 14 day in tervals; sulfur (dust), at rate of 15 lbs. per acre, 14 day Inter vals; liquid copper (spray), at rate of 1/2 to 3/4 gallons per acre at 10 day intervals; man- zate D (spray) or dithane M-22, at rate of 1 to 1 1/2 lbs. per acre at 10 day intervals; cyprex 65W (spray) at rate of 3/4 to 1 lb. per acre at 14 day Intervals; millers 658 (spray), at rate of 2 lbs. per acre at 10 dayintervals. “Use 2 to 3 nozzles (D2-13) per row at 60 lbs. of pressure, 4 miles per hour, vdth 25 gal lons water per acre,” Harrell su^ested. Leafspot treatments should be continued until mid-September, he said. “Do not feed hay treated with cyprex, maneb, or 658 to live stock,” cautioned Harrell. Copper sulfur with Boron has been registered and will be avail able to growers. It Is suggested that only one application of cop per sulfur with Boron (at the rate of 15 lbs. per acre) be used. Bo ron will aid in controlling Black- heart or concealed damage; how ever, excessive rates of Boron - that Is more than 1/2 lb. of actual B. per acre, will reduce yields. The application of copper sulfur with Boron should be ap plied around the middle of July. Solubor, which contains 20.5% Boron, can be used as a spray on peanuts. The recommended rate Is 2 1/2 lbs. of Solubor per acre. Do not apply more than one application, Harrell said. Research has proven that where pod rot Is a problem to growers 1500 to 2000 pounds of landplaster per acre will aid in controlling this disease, Harrell said. The first application of plaster should be made when the first blooms appear, and the second application about the sec ond week In July. Where heavy applications of plaster are to be applied, It Is suggested that the material be broadcast rather than applied over the row. Split appli cations are recommended re gardless of whether a pod rot problem is present, he advised. Where peanuts have turned yel low as result of too much rain, it is suggested that growers use from 100 to 150 pounds of 16% nitrate of soda just as soon as possible. Make sure that the vines are dry when this soda is applied, Harrell concluded. “The waters wear the stones; thou washest away the things that grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.” - THE BOOK OF JOB.

The adults of the Southern Com rootworm arc knovm as spotted cucumber beetles. Adults feed on the unopened leaves causing relatively minor dam age. A few adults can usually be found on peanuts in late June but the mass movement to peanuts does not usually occur until the second or third week in July. Eggs are laid in the soil at the base of the plant. They hatch in about a week and the rootworm feeds on the peg, pods and roots for about three weeks if uncontrolled.
