Spray Reported Successful
In Checking Blue Mold
Plant Situation
Although some farmers in the
County will be short of tobacco
plants because of blue mold, it
appeared today that the majority
would have enough plants to make
out, according to the County
Agent's office.
The overall picture indicates
that there wil be some shortage
of plants, but not nearly so serious
as las year, when a large number
of Person farmers had to go to
Eastern Carolina to obtain plants.
As of Wednesday afternoon, the
County Agent's office had heard
of only one or two farmers who so
far are even considering going to
other parts of the State to get
plants. Some farmers in the Coun
ty have a surplus of plants and
have offered them fir sale to their
neighbors.

Agent Gives Report On Fermate
Demonstrations Held In County
All farmers who have carefully
followed instructions in using fer
matc spray on tobacco plants beds
report they have been very suc
cessful in controlling blue mold,
County Agent H. K. Sanders re
ported today. Some of those con
ducting demonstrations have al
ready completed setting out their
crops and are.sharing their surplus
plants with those whose plant beds
have been damaged by blue mold.
Some of the farmers 'conducting
demonstrations set out their crops
before the cold wave and cold rains
which occurred in Person county
about ten days ago, and a number
of tobacco growers have been very
much interested to know if blue
mold developed on these plants af
treter they were set in the field,
Schools Gain 5,
Lose 3 Teachers
Teacher allotments for Person
county schools for the 1946-47 term,
received this week, show that some
schools have gained teachers while
others have lost some, Supt. R. B.
Griffin announced.
I
The County as a whole has gained
five and lost three, for a net gain of
two, the Superintendent said. Rox
boro high school has gained three
teachers. Allensville high school one,
and Person County Training School
one. Schools which have lost one
teacher each are: Bethel Hill
elementary, Helena elementary, and
Mt. Tirzah elementary.
At Mt. Tirzah, however, Mr.
Griffin said, the school is so near to
the average attendance required j
that there is some hope of getting,
this teacher re-allocated later.

New Opportunity
For Veterans
A new War Department pamphlet
just received by the U. S. Army
Recruiting station in Durham gives
authority to enlist veterans in grades
appropriate to their previous training
and experience, St. Sgt. Edward W.
Chabot announced today.
"This pamphlet", Sgt. Chabot
stated, “lists quite a few job titles
not previously listed, and gives op- ,
portunity for higher grade in many |
of the specialist fields.”
The Sergeant indicated the belief
that many former soldiers would be
interested in joining again since a
greater opportunity for retaining
former grade is available.
Veterans interested in complete
details concerning new specialisties
listed and grades appropriate may
call at the U. S. Army Recruiting
Station, Person County courthouse,
i any Thursday between 9 a. m.-4 p. m.

during the cold, wet weather. So
far, this has not happened. The
plants have developed a splendid
root system and are growing rapid
ly.
The number of farmers who have
called at the Farm Agent's office
requesting information on fermate,
and the quantity sold by the various
dealers in Roxboro, indicate that
perhaps four or five hundred farm
ers have used this material in Per
son county alone.
Stephen Glenn planting
his crop and advertised that he had
surplus plants. He states that many
more fccople have called on him for
plants than he could supply. His
plant beds are in fine condition.
W. A. Wrenn has also completed
setting out his crop and has furn
ished plants to several of his neigh
bors, and lias nice young plants
growing rapidly.
Lonnie Weaver had a splendid
demonstration of the benefits of
fermate spray. In a 200 square yard
bed, he sprayed 100 yards and did
not spray the other half of the
bed. On one side of a log dividing
the two sections he had fine, di
sease-free plants and on the other
a typical blue mold bed.
W. R. Hawkins also conducted a
demonstration on fermate spraying
and was highly pleased with the
results when visited by the Farm
Agent a few days ago.
The Assistant Farm Agent visited
the plant beds of J. R. Garrett,
which he had treated with dithanc,
the only demonstration of this ma
terial in this county, so far as is
known. The Assistant Agent found
no evidence of blue mold on the
bed treated with dithane, and Mr.
Garrett was rapidly setting out
pilants.
John H. Gravitte was very much
pleased with the use of cyanamid
for controlling weeds on his plant
beds. In one place he had 200 yards
of bed which he and two small boys
picked clean of weeds in 30 min
utes. This practice will perhaps en
able a farmer to use the same plant
bed area year after year, if he has
one in a convenient location, near
water, and in a place that is easily
accessible. The material has to be
applied in the fall—by October 1,
if possible. Instructions are that
cyanamid should be applied at least
60 to 90 days' ahead of sowing plant
beds—preferably ‘0 days.
Arnold Shotwell is also enthusi
astic about the use of both cyana
mid and fermate. He tried both ma
terials, and faithfully carried out
instructions, and feels that he has
been well repaid for his efforts. He
has completed setting out his crop
and has shared plants with his
nc ighbors.

Thurmond Chatham, candidate
for Congress in the Fifth District,
last night denounced John L. Lewis
as “a dictator, and the worst friend
the American laboring man has ever
had." and declared that Congress
has made no real effort to throttle
him or “similar domestic dictators”
who threaten the welfare of the
nation.
Chatham spoke in the Person
County courthouse, under sponsor
ship of a local veterans committee.
“These dictators," the candidate
said, “tell us to do their bidding or
else. They give us 12 days, after a
show of force, to surrender or suffer
the consequences. They threaten
openly to paralyze our communica
tions, our transpirtation, our pro
ductive enterprises and our way of
living. We face chaos.”

biles and farm machinery and
building materials.”
Applause greeted his statement
that the people should stand up and
speak up. any say to their represent
atives in Congress, "We demand that
you do something about this situa
tion." Every public official, Chatham
declared, should take orders from
the people he serves.
Ahe Winston-Salem industrialist,,
also advocated immediate action to
keep farm income on a level with
industrial income and for facilitating
production and merchandising at a
profit.
"I am for helping every veteran
get started on a home and in a
business with the equipment needed
for that home or business, whether
it is farmnig, selling, manufacturing,
or servicing. I am for more educa
tion, which means better schools. I
am for teachers' salaries that equal
the money received in industrial
and technical fields,” Chatham de
clared.
Urging that veterans be permitted
to obtain more surplus government
materials, be predicted that America
faces a period of prosperity unpar
alleled in the world “If we pull
toogether, and make laws that are
fair to all."
Time and again the candidate
pointed out that the “marvelous
productive capacity of the United
States is now stifled and paralyzed”
—all because Congress has refused
to act. Our representatives in
Washington, he declared, could - t
remedy the situation within 24 hours/,*-
it they would oifty iti.nuw the courage
to enact necessary legislation.
•'lnterest in my country," Chatham
concluded, -is my only reason for
being in politics. I fought for my
country in war, and I am willing to
fight for my country in peace.”
Chatham was introduced by Rob
ert Edgar “Buddy” Long. World War
II veteran, who briefly reviewed the
candidate's record of service in the
Navy diuing both wars. Presiding at
tlie meeting was R. L. Harris, who
referred to Chatham as a long-time
friend, a liberal, and a man with
exceptional qualifications for Con
gress. The former Lieutenant Gov
ernor declared, "I believe the
Republic is in graver danger tonight
than it has been at any time since
it was founded.” and only Congress
has the power to remedy the situa
tion.
Some 250 to 300 persons attended
