Erich Hecht Tells Why Farmers
Should Support Nickels Program
You dont have to be in
volved in the production of
one of North Carolina's major
farm commodities to have
benefitted from the farmer's
self-help Nickles far Know
How program.
This point is made by Erich
E. Hecht, chairman of the
Warren County referendum
committee as he reviews some
of the many lesser known
contributions to Tar Heel
agriculture that have been
been made through the feed
and fertilizer assessment
nickels program.
"Although nickels funds
haven't been used to support
work on problems in every
area of our agriculture, they
have helped accomplish many
things in many different
fields, whether related to a
big money crop such as to
bacco or poultry or a small
er contributors to the over-all
economy such as grapes, nur
sery plants or blueberries,"
TIecht said.
"Most farmers are aware of
the progress that has been
made against tobacco insects
and diseases, for instance.
But not very many are aware
of the progress made possible
through Nickels for Know
How in the areas of blue
berry diseases, controlled min
I cral nutrition in carrots,
sweet potato diseases, rhodo
I dendron propogation or growth
regulators in azaleas, to mon
tion only a few."
Chairman Hecht continued,
"It would be difficult to find
a feed or fertilizer user in
North Carolina who hasn't
benefitted "in some way fromj
the contributions he has made j
to the Nickels for Know-How j
fund. For this reason, the|
assessment of five cents per
ton of feed and fertilizer |
purchased can be regarded as j
an investment rather than a
contribution."
The chairman reminds
that the future of the Nickels
for Know-How program will 1
be in their hands Novem- ;
ber 19, when the vote on the
renewal of the program.

COUNTY 4-H CLUB LEADERS ENTERTAINED AT DINNER
Community Leaders Are Honored
For 4-H Work In Warren County
The Warren County 4-H
Council sponsored a 4-H Lead
ers Night Dinner n honor of
local community 4-H Club
leaders at the Warren Plaza
Inn recently. The prize
money from the two 4-H Club
fair booths at the Warren
County Fair was used for this
purpose. Sixteen of the
twenty leaders were present
and all of the eight commun
ity clubs' were represented by
at least one leader.
From the Afton-Elberon
Vicksboro Community 4-H
Club were Sidney Fleming,
Willam Bender, Mrs. C. H.
Stegall and Mrs. Charles Hob
good. From Areola: Mrs
Melvin Shearin; Churchill:
Mrs. George Robinson, Mrs,
Charlie Duncan and Revis
Lynch; Inez: Miss Catherine
Brown; Macon: Mrs. William
Reid, M. C. Clary; Oakville:
Mrs. M. E. Thompson; Ridge
way; Mrs. C. F. Holtzman
Leonard Kilian; Warrei
Plains: James Rivers anc
Mrs. J. B. Walker.
The meeting was called tc
order by George Holtzman
president of the 4-H Count]
Council. He also led th<
group in the Pledge to tin
American Flag. Miss Am
Overby, vice president of th<
Warren County 4-H Council
led the 4-H Club Pledge. Thi
invocation was led by Mis
Emily Bellinger as the grou]
sang the "4-H Grace Song."
Following the dinner. Mis
Ann Overby welcomed the
group to the 4-H Leaders
meeting. Miss Rita Castle
berry recognized the leaders
{and 4-H Council officers
Frank Reams recognized A
J. Ellington and John Wilson,
J two of the county commis
sioners. Officers of the 4-H
j Development Fund, Paul Lan
caster, Mrs. S. W. Walker
and Mrs. Erich Hecht, were
recognized by L. B. Hardage.
Other guests were Mrs. Sid
ney Fleming, Mrs. Allen Hil
liard, and Mrs. John K. Kilian,
former asst. borne economics
extension agent.
Miss Jan Hawks, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Hawks
of Norlina, entertained the
group with a skit on "Alvin."
Time was allotted for open
discussion of what the differ
ent clubs have been dong
and suggestions or recom
mendations for carrying on
4-H Club work in the com
munities of Warren County.
Miss Rita Castleberrv. asst.
home economics extension!
agent, explains that there arei
several different types of
lccal leaders, each one mak
ing an individual contribution
to 4-11 Club work. As 4-H!
programs broaden and enroll-1
ment increases, if becomes]
more difficult for one person
to assist all members with
their 4-H projects and club
activities. Especially in com
munities where enrollment is
large, there is a need for
much organizational and rec
reational guidance and fcnj
project instruction. There
fore, adults may volunteer
their services, either as a pro
ject leader or in some other
capacity.
"Leaders of the community
4-H Clubs in Warren County,"
Miss Castleberry said, "are
doing an excellent job in
striving to help the boys and
girls in their community to
'Make the Best Better*."

WILDLIFE
(CMtael frees page 5)
look around and note the land
that once was hunting and
fishing area that is now under
cultivation or has become a
building site."
Originally, the United States
had 140 million acres of
swamp or marshland that
supported waterfowl and oth
er wildlife. This has been
cut to 76 million. Only 23
million of this is high quality
waterfowl habitat.
Fields suggests that North
Carolina landowners begin
this fall to make plans that
will help insure more abund
ant wildlife on their land
next bunting season.
Landowners should contact
their district game biologist
so he may look over the land
and determine needs and
make recommendations. The
landowner can place his order
for food and cover plants
through the biologist for de
livery in the spring. This
should be done as earlv this
fall or winter as possible.
Some of the food plants
available to landowners are
annual seed mixtures and bi
color lespedeza. These can
be planted around the edges
of fields, in field corners, on
a piece of land that isn't
large enough for crop pro
duction or around turn-rows,
Fields said.
The cover plants, multi
flora rose and sericea lespe
deza, provide the necessary
protection the animals need
to get from one place to
another to feed, to roost or
to nest. They are planted
around the edges of woods,
along fence rows and ditch
banks.
"In the days of mule farm
ing, there normally was plen
ty of food and cover," Fields
commented. "But in these
days of 'clean' farming, ditch
banks are kept clean, fence
rows are open and areas sur
rounding fields and woods are
cleared out."
"Clean" farming is human
progress but for the wildlife
it means less food, less wafstV
lass ;^ 4er and hMa. living
space it also means less
