At John Grohom
Rocky Mount Visited
By EMMY LOL COLEMAN
And ANGELA D. BALLANCE
Last Wednesday, the Gold community at John
Graham went on a trip to Rocky Mount. The trip
was designed to enhance the Gold community's
study of China. For lunch the group ate at a Chinese
restaurant, Canton Station. They also visited a
nature park and went on a shopping spree at
Tarrytown Mall.
Monday, the last school day for students at John
Graham, was Awards Day. Students received
various awards for their achievements during the
school year. Ben Howard, our principal, also
designated Monday as a "dress-up day." Pupils
were to dress as neatly as possible.
We would like to remind everyone who is eligible
for the computer workshop that it will be held at
John Graham this summer. Also, a day camp will
be held at Norlina Middle and Hawkins Elementary
Schools during the summer.
Garey Ballance, the former writer for the John
Graham newspaper article, did a fine job, and we
commend him for his writings in the paper. We wish
him good luck at the high school.

Nathaniel Hawkins,
son of Mr. and Mrs.
Walter H. Hawkins of
Warrenton, received a

from Norfolk State
University during its

during the 60-day period
after transplanting, the
amount of nitrogen and
water available to the
tobacco is critical.
Without adequate water
and the proper amount
of nitrogen the leaf will
not mature on time. This
often leads to the leaf
being picked before it is
-ripe resulting in poor
quality tobacco.
Another big benefit of
a crop rotation is pest
control. John VanDuyn,
North Carolina Exten
sion entomologist, says
that "rotation is the
fanner's most powerful
pest management tool."
Atwell Day, a tobacco
farmer from Roxboro,
once treated for
nematodes yearly. Since
going with a rotation, he
has seldom needed to
use a nematicide. Jim
Roney of Mebane has
eliminated his average
annual nematicide costs
of $55 per acre since
switching to a grass
based rotation.
There are many other
benefits of using a
rotation including better
fertilizer use, and that
often means less fer
tilizer needed. Higher
production as well as
higher quality is a
typical response from
tobacco crops grown in
rotation.

Paris's Bois de Boulogne. It
was a 25-minute trip in a
hot-air balloon by two young
Frenchmen. The Montgolfier
brothers, designers of the
balloon, believed that smoke,
not hot air, provided lift, so
they chose such smoke-pro
ducing fuels as rotten meat,
old shoes, and wet straw for
their early flights.
