THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVI. Number 32 'lff rTi oo #*«> * u * /& tJ/ IW 1 M C "WE Kpi r ~ \>X V VOH6 W* 6 /pj 4% % 4 REPORTER The biennial show is underway and despite some wishful think ing to the contrary it looks as though it’ll be a humdinger. On the surface the big fight of the 1951 session of the General As sembly will be on increasing taxes and appropriations. But behind the scenes the real fight will be the brawl between liberal and conservative forces for the 1952 governorship and control of the Democratic party for the coming four years. You can expect the conserva tives to use every trick in the book to try to discredit the Scott administration. And you can ex pect the liberal forces to try to consolidate their position and push through what they consider neces sary legislation to provide adequate services for Tar Heels. Conservatives already have sounded their battle cry “no new taxes and no expanded appro priations.” They point to the cer tainty of increased federal taxes, and solemnly vow that now is the time to stand pat and attempt noth ing new. The simple fact remains, how ever, that even to “stand pat” on services and not extend them will cost the state several millions of dollars more during the coming bi ennium than it has during this one. Personnel will be needed to man all those new buildings that were constructed under the $150,- 000,000 permanent improvements program. More money will be asked to complete some of the buildings that were not started in time to be built on the money pro vided for them. Swinging around Capitol Hill, Explanation of Income Tax Proves Helpful, Local Wage-Earners Find “YOUR Federal Income Tax,” prepared by the United States Treasury Department and printed by the Government Printing Of fice, explained the important changes in the Income Tax law so that the average tax payer can understand them.

Davis Sons, Publishers Mechanical Device Is * Invented to Assist In Control of Suckers A simple mechanical device that may save an untold amount of hand labor for flue-cured tobacco growers has been developed by ag ricultural engineers at N. C. State College. The device consists of a pair of pruning clippers connected by plastic hose to a hand-operated spray tank. It is used to clip the tops from tobacco plants and ap ply a sucker-controlling compound in one simple operation. Robert Wilson, a young engineer who joined the State College staff a little over two years ago, did most of the work on the new tool, which he calls the “Clip-Oil!” The clippers are altered so they will center and clip the tobacco stalk. Slight additional pressure on the handles releases a small a mount of oil or other liquied from the tank, which is kept under pres sure. State College is inviting farm equipment manufacturers to sub mit proposals for making several of the “Clip-Oil” in time for experi mental use on the 1951 crop. The device will not be available to farmers during the coming year since it still is in the experimental stage. The equipment developed by Wilson is designed, to apply suck er control material in a process 'worked out by Dr. A. B. Anderson, another State College scientist. In experimenting with growth-regu lating compounds on tobacco, Dr. Anderson discovered by accident that ordinary mineral oil- controls suckers. When applied to the top f the plant, the oil runs down the stalk and kills the buds before uckers begin to develop. However, use of mineral oil for sucker control is as yet recom mended only on an experimental basis. It has been found that in some cases the oil encourages the development of rot at the bottom of the tobacco stalks. For this rea son growers are advised to use the method on only a small portion of their crop.
