Yam Growers
Cautioned About Seed
North Carolina sweet potato
growers may be inviting a dis
ease problem if they buy their
seed stock from New Jersey.
This word of caution comes
from Henry Covington, exten
sion horticulture specialist at
North Carolina State Univer
sity.
Covington says that some
North Carolina growers have
shown an interest in a variety
of sweet potato grown in New
Jersey - the Yellow Jersey.
"Yellow Jersey.? have been
bringing a high price ? up to
$8 per bushel on some mar
kets," Covington explained.
"But one reason for this high
price is the fact that acreage
of the variety has fallen sharp
ly because of a virsus disease
?russet cracking."
"To bring this disease
to North Carolina would be
dlsasterous," Covington said.
"Russet cracking is a stinker
of a virsus disease. We don't
have it In the state and we don't
want it," he added.
North Carolina is the nation's
second largest sweet potato
producing state. New Jersey,
which grew about 13,000 acres
of sweet potatoes a few years
ago, is now down to about 6,000
acres because of russet crack
ing and the high cost of land
and labor.
"If a person must buy seed
^ttoes frem another area, he
d make sure that they are
led by an official certify
agency," Covington said.
important to producing a pro
duct that is beautifully hand
made, Mrs. Parker adds,
"Working with wood is a re
warding hobby for anyone of
retirement age. It has meant
a lot to us and we are still
learning techniques of finishing
wood."

Tourists Flood Tahiti
Authors Maurice Shadbolt and
Olaf Ruhen, New Zealand
born authorities on the South
Pacific, traveled the 20 million
square miles of Polynesia and
Melanesia by Jet and helicop
ter, copra boat and on outrig
ger canoe. The thousands of
islands In the South Seas stretch
from Easter Island 8,000 miles
westward to New Guinea.
Shadbolt, in roaming Poly
nesia, found that the 20th cen
tury had already changed Ta
hiti. The South Seas' symbol
o? Eden is flooded with tourists,
thanks to a new jet airport, in
addition, Frances* decision to
conduct nuclear tests in
Polynesia resulted in 6,000
troops being stationed on Ta
hiti.
"The roar of traffic drowns
'the reef's old serenade,"
laments Shadbolt. "Thousands
of cars and motor scooters Jam
the roads. The island of dreams
has taken to wheels with an
enthusiasm sometimes frigh
tening."
Some of Tahiti's traditional
warmth has gone, too. A mid
dlg-aged Tahitian explained,
"Once we used to smile at
every stranger, and offer hos
pitality. But now there are too
many strangers. We haven't
grown unfriendly. We're Just
overwhelmed."
Modern New Zealand, with
snow-capped mountains, gey
sers, and glaciers, is as
much a part of Polynesia as
the palm-studded isles of Ta
hiti, Tonga, and Samoa. The
great urban center of Auckland
hums with a busy harbor, steel
works, and soring skycrapers.
Polynesians from far-flung
Islands flock to New Zealand?
often called a "patch of Europe
in the South Seas"?because it
is a paradise of jobs.
"There's nothing back home
for us?Just sand and coconut
trees," said one young Samoan
who yearns to get ahead in
modern times.
Never Saw Wheel s
The South Pacific offers yet
another world-Melanesia, the
"Black islands." Author Ruhen
visited New Guinea tribesmen
who never saw wheels until
modern airplanes came down
from the skies.
Fire walkers on Mbengga is
land still perform their spec
tacular rites on a bedol white
hot stones. Writes Ruheot
"They stride In silence Into the
shimmering furnace, unharm
ed by heat so Intense that a
green leaf tossed by a spec
tator would blacken Immed
iately, a handkerchief burst Into
flame."
For sheer drama and high
adventure, no South Seas cere
mony rivals that of land diving
on Pentecost Island In the New
Hebrides. To prove their cour
age, men?and boys as young as
eight ? hurl themselves head
first from 80-foot-high towers
made of vine-lashed tree
trunks. Springy vines knotted
around the performer's ankles
break the fall Just beforo his
head would hit the spaded
ground. Despite severe jolts,
few jumpers are injured.
QUITE PREPARED
The night was beautiful for
a drive in the car.
So in the car they drove.
But quite soon, too soon,
the car stopped.
"Out of gas, I guess," apolo
gized the young man.
"Really? Try this," she sug
gested. And she retrieved a
flask from her purse and gave
it to him.
"But I don't drink yet," he
stammered.
"Neither do I," she replied.
"That flask contains gasoline.
Just pour it into the tank."
