Fumigate Soil In Fall
For The Best Results
By L. B. HARDAGE
Extension Chairman
VEGETABLE PLANT BEDS
Fumigating soils In the early
(all to control nematodes, dis
seases, and weeds in vege
table crops is preferable to
doing it in the spring. This is
true tor both plantbed and field
fumigation. Briefly, the advant
ages are as follows:
(1) The job is more apt to
get done ? growers generally
have more time, and there are
more days with favorable
weather.
(2) The soil temperatures
are warmer ? f\ir"igants are
more effective in warm soils.
(3) The danger of traces of
fumigants remaining in soil and
damaging the crops is greatly
reduced ? fumigants escape
faster from warm soils, and
there is plenty of time for it
to escape.
(4) The crop can be started
earlier in the spring since the
job has been done?this may
be critical in a cold and wet
spring.
There are, however, certain
disadvantages and precautions
to be taken in fall soil fumi
gation:
(1) Plant trash and root-knot
galls may not be sufficiently
well decomposed for good re
sults ? fumigants penetrate

judging contests, camps, 4-H
club meetings, both local and
county-wide, by conferences,
trips, tours, fairs and achieve
ment shows, teen talk-overs,
records and educational dem
onstrations.
The 4-H'ers get together,
work and play together, and
develop those characteristics
that are desirable for living In
our society. It is such a Joy
to me to see the look of anti
cipation on the faces of the 4-H
club members engaged in
worthwhile activity and to ex
perience with them the joy of
wining honors, prizes and
awards for a job well done.
Young people with heart and
mind In a commendable acti
vity is a cherished endeavor.
We frequently have local, dis
trict and even state winners
in all areas of 4-H work, who
have been diligent and efficient
in their 4-H work and who end
up as creative productive citi
zens. As I look back over the
years of 4-H club work In this
area, I can visualize the growth
of any given individual from a
timld,.flrst year member who
is taking his first project and
entering group activity for the
living and undecomposed plant
tissue very poorly, and It is In
these tissues where so many of
the plant disease germs are
found.
(2) Soils may be too dry
probably not a problem this fall.
(3) Danger of recontamlna
tlon from soil not fumigated
may be aproblem in some cases
such as in row-fumigation. This
problem is generally not
serious and is reduced when
large areas are broadcast
fumigated. It can also be re
duced by punching holes in the
plastic after the fumigation
period and not removing the
plastic until the land is pre
pared for planting or seeding.
(4) In the case of row-fumi
gat ion, the soil may become
compacted and rows may de
teriorate during the winter?
reworking this land in the spring
enhances the risk of recontami
nation.

Rep. Fountain Joins Fight
On Pornography By Mail
WASHINGTON, D. C. - "I
have joined with others in co
sponsoring an anti-pornography
bill which, if finally enacted
into law, would attack one part
of the vicious problem of por
nography-by-mail," announced
Congressman L. H. Fountain
here.
The Second District Repre
sentative noted, "This bill is in
addition to the one I introduced
earlier which attacks another
facet of the pornography prob
lem." The previous bill is
still pending before the Judi
ciary Committee.
The new bill would prohibit
the mailing of sexually provo
cative materials to any home
whose householder has not ask
ed for them, and to a minor
in the Extension service, exam
ine ourselves as to our
quality of help and assistance
to the leaders and then look
ourselves to the county govern
ment, N. C. State University
and the U. S. Dept. of Agricul
ture for educational, financial,
organizational and technical as
sistance.
The teamwork in support of
4-H is proclaimed In the thou
sands of capable, public spirit
ed man, women, organizations,
committees and businesses who
contribute valuable time, effort
and resources to help further
the prestige and influence of
the 4-H program across the
nation. This teamwork extends
from the national level to the
county and community level.
In closing, let me thank each
of you sincerely for any part you
may have had in implementing
4-H club work in your com
munity and trying with us in 4-H
club work "To Make the Best
Better."
in any state having laws against
dissemination of obscene ma
terials to minors. Thirty-six
states and the District of Co
lumbia have such laws.
"This law would place the
burden on the purveyor of filth,
rather than on the Post Office
or the Department of Justice,"
said Congressman Fountain.
Furthermore, Congressional
leaders say, this bill is believ
ed to be Constitutional despite
the erratic and overly per
missive decisions of the Su
preme Court on obscenity In
recent years.

Carter said. In the 1968-69
