Budget Approved;
Tax Rate $1.89
The Board of County Com
missioners on Monday approv
ed the 1964-65 budget for War
ren County, calling for a tax
rate of $1.89 on the $100 val
uation.
The tax rate was increased
one cent over the tentative bud
get figure, when the commis
sioners voted to add one cent
to the budget to funds for the
Welfare Department to pay
surgeon fees in sterilization
cases.
The action of the board was
taken after Julian Farrar ap
peared before the board to in
form its members tha t sur
geon fees for sterilization of
men would be $45.00 and for
women $60.00. With ten or
fifteen cases a year, this would
run around $750, he said.
Informed by the County Audi
tor that funds had not been pro
vided for such purposes and
Informed by the county attorn
ey that funds could not
be shifted for this purpose,
the commissioners voted to
add a penny to the budget.
They commented that in the long
run the expenditure would save
the county money.
In approving the tentative
budget, the commissioners had
planned on a tax rate of $1.90
to take care of changes, al
though the actual figure was
$1.88. The one cent addition
was Judged Monday to be all
necessary and the budget was
approved at $1:39. This repre
sented an increase of 14 cents
over the 1963-64 budget.
During the remainder of a
quiet session that lasted only
until around 4 o'clock, the com
missioners ordered a public
hearing on August 3 concern
ing changes In zoning regula
tions at Gaston Lake, mainly
to simplify operations:
Employ Willie Cook of War
renton as court house Janitor
at a salary of $50.00 a week;
Ordered that $25.00 be paid
towards the funeral expenses
of Teaboy Robinson, a pauper;
Heard a report from A. P.
Rodwell, County Tax Collector,
showing total tax collections to
date of $349,542.55, of which
amount $2,176.19 was collect
ed during the month of June.
In addition the commis
sioners heard a number of re
ports, ordered the payment of
bills, and attended to a num
ber of other routine matters.
Georgia Weed Sales
To Start On July 29
Henderson ? Tobacco mar
kets In the Georgia-Florida
area will begin 1964 auctions
on Wednesday, July 29, It was
decided by an eight-man ad
visory board Tuesday at the
annual convention of the Bright
Belt Warehouse Association
at Jekyll Island, Ga State Agri
culture Commissioner Phil
Campbell confirmed the date
Lights Are Being
Used As Trap For
Tobacco Hornworm
Exotic techniques, six lures
among them, are being used In
North Carolina to research to
bacco hornworm control.
A simple, Inexpensive elec
tric light now stands at the head
of the class. Its use could bring
relief to Tar Heel farmers
plagued by hornworm attacks
and insecticide costs.
An experiment conducted
near Oxford for the third year
brings cautious reports from
the U. S. Department of Agri
culture that "black light" traps j
have made considerable In
roads on hornworm moths, pa- ]
rents of the hornworm which
gobbles up millions of dollars
In tobacco profits each year.
The electrtcllghtmaybrlght-;
en tobacco's future In more
ways than one. If the light suc
ceeds In trapping enough ln-i
sects, there could be a major
reduction of chemical spray
residues.
F. R. Lawson, director of
the Oxford Experiment Station,
says a carefully laid pattern
of lights over a 113-square
mlle grid cut hornworm pop
ulation in half. Researchers
caution farmers that lights must
be erected In a carefully plan
ned pattern. Isolated lights have
proven to be virtually useless.
Other experimental methods,
including use of substances to
attract both sexes of the horn
worm moth and sterilisation of
the male moth have been car
ried out at Oxford and other re
search centers. So far the light
seems to be moat advanced.
The Oxford experiment has
been successful enough to war
rant a grant of additional funds
to expand the system from >24
Uo MO lights and the area radius
Jrom e to 10 miles.
The U. 8. D. A. Entomology
Reaeeareh Division estimates
tobecco damage by horn and
bud worms at $4.17 per acre
and the cost of Insecticides at
$17.50 par acre. Based on I860
acreage, worms and their oon
trol steal more than $10 mil
lion a year from NOrthCaretlna
as required by Georgia law.
The opening Is four calendar
days later than last year.
A South Carolina warehouse
men's committee will meet In
Florence early next week to fix
the date for the opening there.
Speculation Is that It will be
^arly In August. As a rule,
North Carolina Border Belt
markets open at the same time
as South Carolina auction cen
ters.
Eastern North Carolina nor
mally follows In a week to ten
days, with the Middle Belt be
ginning after a similar Interval.
Last year the Henderson mar
ket began Its season on Mon
day, September 9, and on open
ing day sold 445,172 pounds at
a price average of $54.97. Sales
In the first week were 1,403,916
pounds at $55.62.
This year's Georgia-Florida
crop Is said to be of fairly good
quality. The season there usual
ly runs four to five weeks.
Belts starting after the
Georgia-Florida area will begin
sales to permit marketing of
the crop there and for transfer
of buyers farther north. Georg
ia-Florida Belt buyers move In
to Eastern North Carolina, and
buyers for the Middle Belt come
from the South Carolina
and Border North Carolina
markets which usually have
sold the bulk of their crop by
the opening In this region.
PROSPECTS BRIGHT
FOR GOOD C ROP
Prospects for mother good
crop appear reasonably bright
In the southern end of the flue
cured tobacco belt as producers
In that area "get on up the
stalk" with their harvest.
Although handicapped some
what by lack of moisture fol
lowing a wet season during
transplanting, Georglafarmers
are anticipating another good
year with yields Slightly undei
those of 1963.
"Experts In Georgia antici
pate yields will be as much as
2SO pounds per acre under the
very good yields they had last
year," reports Dr. Guy Jones,
professor of .crop science al
North Carolina State.
"But this doesn't mean they
?rmt going to have a good
crop. From what I can under
hand, Georgia growers hava
had no unusual problems other
than lack of moisture. R appear
to me that all their tobeoco
