DUDE RANCH:
When attending the recent
horse show at the Warren Coun
ty Fairgrounds it was very evi
dent that horsemanship was on
the rise in this area. Not only
do adults enjoy this sport, but
young people including the very
young tots are climbing into the
saddle for a trot around the
countryside.
just recently, I dropped by
Judy's Dude Ranch located on
U. S. 1 between Manson and
Mlddleburg and observed sev
eral young people receiving
instructions on how to do the
Job. This was a great im
provement to my bareback rid
ing of years ago and after one
of these escapades I could not
sit down for days. Just kind of
have an idea some of you older
"birds" have an idea of the
acute and painful situation that
existed.
In one picture you see Carol
Currin on her pony standing
beside the ranch roadslgn.
Carol is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. C. W. Currin, owners
of the business. In the back
- ground are the students riding
under the Instructions of Miss
Patricia Parham. Looking fur
ther on, you will see Currln's
irrigation system sprinkling
water on a beautiful but thirsty
field of tobacco.
In the other picture you see
a line-up of the students, in
structors, helpers, etc: (left to
right) C. W. Currin, Middle
burr, Ed Hall, Henderson; Tlm
my. Chappel, Henderson; Jane
Chandler, Henderson; Patricia
.Parham, Henderson, Jimmy
White, Norllna; Clement Ro
bertson, Mlddleburg; Carol
Currin, Mlddleburg, Charles
Gas Currin, Mlddleburg; and
Mrs. C. W. Currin, Middle
burg. Looking in the background
of this photo you see a
furnished house trailer beside
a nice farm pond Just waiting
to be occupied by guests.
The Currins have arranged
riding trails all over the farm
for their advanced students.
Having toured the entire farm
( with the late Mr. D. G. Currin,
I can say that these students
will see some excellent scenery
'?? Including numerous well kept
farm ponds.
STABILIZATION:
W. S. Smiley, Rt. 1, Macon,
and Gid W. King, Rt. 1, War
renton, represented Warren
County at the recent annual
meeting of the Tobacco Flue
Cured Cooperative Stabiliza
tion Corporation held in
Raleigh. Names of any others
attending have not reached this
office.
Tobacco marketing and con
sumption surely are having all
kinds of pitfalls, roadblocks
and most every conceivable
hazard one can imagine.

GET TOMATOES OFE
THE WINDOW SILL
Many homemakers put green
tomatoes on a sunny window sill
to ripen. They shouldn't. Too
much sunlight prevents de
velopment of normal, even
color . Immature green toma
toes won't ripen in the sun and
are likely to rot tf kept there
too long. According to the U.
S. D. A., the best way to ripen
picked tomatoes Is In the cel
lar or garage ? some place
where the temperature Is from
60 to 70 deg. F. Light, says
USDA food specialists, Is not
needed to produce good red
coloring In underripe tomatoes.

SPRAY POISON IVY NOW
June and July aje the best
months to spray poison ivy,
say plant scientists of the USDA
Do not delay treatment any
later than August 15, because
after this the plants begin to
go dormant and sprays are
less effective. Use any com
mercial formulation of 3, 4,
5-T, 2, 4-D, amitrole oi am
monium sulfamate herbicide.
Apply as directed on a day when
there is little or no air move
ment. Early morning or late
afternoon?when the air is cool
and moist is usually best.
Plants take several weeks to
die and normally two or more
applications are necessary to
control sprouting poislon Ivy.
Even then, keep a careful watch
over the area. Plants believed
dead sometimes revive after
