Agriculturally Speaking By RUSSELL C.KING County t*tension Cha. Many homeowners in Warren County have become interested in rose production. If you are one of those, remember a great deal of work is involved in rose production. Any well-drained, fertile soil should grow roses. You need to plant them in full sunlight, also. In Warren County, fall is the best time of the year to plant. You can also plant in the early spring. Dig the hole large enough so the roots can be .spread out as they would naturally grow. Remove any broken roots and cut the plant back to 5 or 6 inches at the time of planting. Cow manure is an excellent fertilizer. Other manures such as chicken can be used but in very small quantities. The nitrogen in chicken manure is extremely strong. This rotted cow manure should be spread around the roses 2 to 3 inches thick in early spring. Supple ment this with a complete fertilizer such as 84-8 at the rate of 3 pounds per 100 square feet. Work both the manure and fertilizer lightly into the soil. When the first flower buds show, apply more 8-8-8 at a rate of 2 pounds per 100 square feet. Repeat this fertilizer application about once a month until August 1. A large number of insects attack roses, includ ing Japanese beetles, aphids, mites, thrips, scale, and beetles. Diseases such as black spot, gall, and mildew also cause problems. In order to keep these insects and diseases under control, you must spray on a regular basis. For more information on types of sprays and spraying schedules, contact me at the Warren County Extension Service.

Transportation Meeting Slated A public meeting that will help the state Board of Transportation re assess and re-order highway construction priorities as a result of severely limited financial resources will be held in Louisburg on Wednesday, August 11. The meeting is one in a series scheduled in each of the state's highway divisions to begin the process of updating the 1982-1991 Transportation Im provement Program (TIP). The TIP is the depart ment's basic highway construction planning document. It was last updated in December, 1981 following a similar series of public meet ings. This year's meeting for counties in Highway Division 5 will be held at 2 p. m. Wednesday in the Franklin County Court house, 102 South Main Street in Louisburg. Transportation Board members Iley L. "Buck" Dean, Joseph C. Hamme, and Jeanette W. Carl will preside. Speakers will be regis tered between 1 and 2 p. m. at the courthouse. Counties in the division are Durham, Franklin, Granville, Person, Vance, Wake and Warren. The meetings this year will be held with emphasis being placed on the highway funding crisis which state Trans portation Secretary Wil liam R. Roberson, Jr. said will have an impact on the TIP. Sharp increases in the costs of highway work due to inflation and declining state highway revenues resulting mostly from more fuel efficient vehicles are the main causes of the funding crisis. "With this severe problem facing us, we strongly urge the public to help us make a very careful review of the projects already in the 19S2-1991 TIP," Roberson said. "We want the people of the state to share with us their opinions on what our priorities ought to be in view of our funding crisis. "When our board up dated our current program last year, $1.2 billion in highway projects had to be mads inactive due to antici pated lower funding levels for construction," Roberson said. He added that the $120 million of additional revenue generated by the Governor's "Good Roads" program has been used chiefly for maintenance to protect the highway system as originally proposed. This past fiscal year, the board awarded contracts to resurface 3,300 miles of highways as compared to approxi mately 350 miles the previous fiscal year. Roberson cautioned that unless new sources of funds are found by July of 1063, the state will not have matching funds for federal highway aid used in the highway improvement program. Currently 1977 bond funds for highway construction are being used to match federal aid. These funds will be exhausted by July of next year. That will mean, in effect, said Roberson, "that we won't have a highway construction program after that date." The secretary added, "We believe the TIP is a positive approach to scheduling highway projects and other types of transportation improvements involving aviation, public trans portation, rail and bicycles. We need the public's help to keep our program viable and responsive to the transportation needs of North Carolina. "We will also bring people up to date on the status of projects in their particular area and provide them a summary of our projected revenues and the costs of construc tion," he said. Local officials have been invited by Gov. Jim Hunt, Roberson and members of the Transportation Board to make recommendations on highway and other transportation priorities at the sessions. Roberson also issued a "special plea" for citizens from all walks of life to participate in the meetings. Musical Entertainment Planned At Festival Musical entertain ment featuring bagpipe, Blue Grass and other groups will enliven the scene August 7 and 8 during the sixth annual Kerr Lake Folk Arts and Crafts Festival at Satterwhite Point on Kerr Lake.

This group is composed of residents of the local area. For the kiddies - and others young at heart - Martha Evans will present her Puppet Theatre both Saturday and Sunday, August 7 and 8, in performances at 11 ajn. and 1 p.m. This 15-minute taped show will feature Mrs. Rvans's rrmt nopular puppets: Crazy Legs, Dawg, Disco Duck and Willie.

Other attractions also are planned to entertain festival visitors during the weekend. There will be no admission charged, and the public is invited. Reports Marine Sgt. Joseph L. Terry, son of Hilda M. and Carlton J. Terry, Sr. of Rt. 2, Macon, has reported for duty with Headquarters and Service Battalion, Marine Corps Base Camp Butler on Okinawa. y, ii| ■ Clean-Up Is Listed RALEIGH - In a continuing effort to help cut the costs of I maintaining the state's highways and to focus the public's attention on the highway litter problem, the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NC DOT) is inviting city and county officials and other interested organi zations to Join with the department in a concentrated campaign to clean-up litter along the highways of the state. State Secretary of Transportation William R. Roberson, Jr. has designated Sept. 11-17 as "Clean Up Utter Week in North Carolina" to bring to the public's attention the need to keep the state's highways litter free. To accommodate youth groups that want to participate in the litter pick-up campaign, Saturday, Sept. U, has been set aside as "Youth Involvement Day." Secretary Roberson commented, "This is a good opportunity to educate our young people and focus their attention on littering which costs our state approximately $2.2 million each year." The September clean up litter campaign is the second phase of a two part program conducted by the transporation department in 1982. The first phase of the program was held in April. The report by M. C. Adams, head of maintenance and equipment, revealed that during the April clean-up litter campaign, more than 300 NCDOT maintenance crews, with the help of 167 outside organizations and an estimated 2,000 individuals, including Governor Jim Hunt, picked up litter along highways across the state. As a result of the effort some 3,625 truckloads or 14,500 cubic yards of litter were picked up over 6,300 miles of state highways. "We are very pleased with the overwhelmingly suc cessful results of our cletn-up litter campaigns. We are most appreciative of the organizations which helped us, especially the youth groups, and are convinced their cooperation greatly contributes to the success of the campaign," said Adams. Since the inception in 1979 of the clean-up litter weeks, the NCDOT, with the help of citizens across North Carolina, has been responsible for removing litter from 30,000 miles of the state's highways.
