Two THE ZEBULON RECORD Published Tuesday and Friday of each week at Zebulon, Wake Count, North Carolina Entered as second class matter June 26, 1925, at the post office at Zebulon, North Carolina, under the act of March 3, 1879. Subscription rate: $2.00 a year Advertising rates on request. New Swine Folder Is Prepared by S.C.E.S. Sodium flouride is a simple and safe drug to use in controlling large intestinal round worms in swine, according to a new folder just published by the State Col lege Extension Service. The authors, J. Clark Osborne and Jack Kelley, point out that wormy pigs are unthrifty and un profitable. They make slow, stunt ed growth and make very poor use of the feed they are given. “Hogs of any age may be worm ed with sodium flouride,” says the authors. “It is generally agreed that the best age to worm is at about two weeks after weaning. Additional worming is not usual ly nedessary unless the hogs show definite signs of being infested. Sows in the later part of the ges tation period should not be worm ed.” Wakefield Revival Revival services will begin at Wakefield Baptist Church Sunday night, September 23, at 7:30, and run through the following week. Rev. Harold B. Tillman, pastor of the Orcutt Avenue Baptist Church, Newport News, Va., will be the revivalist. “Mr. Tillman is an outstanding evangelist,” Rev. Kermit Combs, pastor of the Wakefield Church, said yesterday, “and his messages will bring blessings to all who hear him. The public is cordially in vited to come and partake of this gospel feast.” Local Guard Notes Members of Battery A will turn in the suntan uniforms for woolen shirts and pants October 1, Supply Sergeant Bob Sawyer said last night following checking in the last equipment issued the Guards men for the active duty training at Ft. McClellan, Alabama. With the last knife, .fork, and canteen accounted for, Sfc. Sawyer began immediately to get the O. D. uni forms ready for issue. Preparations for being made for the important annual inspection to be made October 29, by Regular Army representatives. At that time the best uniformed member of Battery A will be selected to receive a cash award. Classes last night were taught by Lt. Dave Finch and Lt.. George Hinds. For the next three months the Guardsmen will be occupied with classroom and sectional exer cises. Arnold Resigns Sgt. J. P Arnold, careaker for the unit since it received Federal Recognition in July 1949, submit ted his resignation to Capt Bar rie Davis last Friday to become effective September 30. Sgt. Ar nold is accepting a position with Wakelon Trading Company. During the two years he has served as Motor Sergeant and care taker for the Zebulon battery, Sgt. Arnold has consistently received a superior rating on his work. Un der his guidance, the Battery A drivers and mechanics have devel oped into an efficient and skilled group, operating through two sum mer encampments and numerous weekend exercises with little me chanical troubles and no accidents. Capt. Davis said that a replace ment of Sgt. Arnold’s caliber will be impossible to find. He express ed his regret over the caretaker’s resignation, commending him for his exceptional work during the organizational period for the bat tery over the past two years. The man selected to fill the $244 per month job will be announced within the next two weeks, the battery commander stated. Service Graduate Scheduled to giaduate from the Naval Machinist’s Mate School, Service School Command. U. S. Naval Training Center Great Lakes, 111., on September 21, is Dan L. Perry, machinist’s mate fireman apprentice, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Perry of Route 3, Box 82 Zebulon, N. C. Perry, who entered the Naval service March 12, 1951, received his recruit training at the U. S. Naval Training Center, San Diego, Calif. Before entering the Navy, Perry was graduated from Bunn High School. Local Homecoming Friends and visitors joined with members of the Zebulon Baptist Church on Sunday in observing special homecoming services and a picnic dinner served under the trees in the rear of the church. A chill wind and threatening skies failed to dampen the spirits of the large number of people present. Following the dinner, a service of recognition was held in the sanctuary of the church in which special honor was accorded Rev. and Mrs. Theo. B. Davis, and Rev. and Mrs. R. H. Herring. C. V. Whitley made a short talk and presented the Davises with an engraved silver tray from the church. Dr. L. M. Massey made the talk and presentation of an en graved silver tray to the Herrings. Theo. B. Davis served the Zebu lon Church as pastor from 1913 to 1917 and during that time the membership increased from 186 to 430; and again from 1924 to 1927 when work on the present building was completed. In August 1927 R. H. Herring became pastor, and under his leadership the church debt incur red in completing the building was paid. The Rev. Herring served un til 1938. Special music for the afternoon service included Mrs. Nellie Kemp, soprano, singing “I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say,” and Mrs. L. M. Massey, soprano, singing “How Beautiful upon the Moun tain.” Dr. George Griffin, of the Wake Forest College Department of Re ligion, read the church history. Dr. Griffin served the Zebulon church as pastor from 1938 until 1946. During the morning services special music was provided by the Adult Choir and Mr. Elwood Perry, baritone soloist. The pastor, Carl ton Mitchell, preached on “The Thrill of a Noble Tradition.” Tobacco Troubles (Continued from Page 1) partial failure, although severe in individual eases, were small when compared to the overall perform ance of resistant varieties. Examination of fields where re sistant varieties did not survive satisfactorily has led us to a num ber of conclusions. We present them here for the consideration of all growers: 1. No varieties available today can be counted on to live 100 per cent on soils heavily infested with black shank. This has been recog nized all along. However, proper rotation will support the resistance of varieties that are available and will contribute to the successful production of resistant varieties on disease-infested soil. A two-year rotation will help in many cases, but in badly infested soil and where other conditions are unfav- The Zebulon Record orable for tobacco (nematodes, wireworm, fertilizer injury, un favorable weather), a three or four-year rotation will be required in many cases. In case after case this year, county agents and oth ers have seen that both resistant and non-resistant varieties surviv ed better in fields where rotation was practiced than in fields where tobacco followed tobacco. 2. There are spots in various fields in the State and conditions under which all varieties may die more than a grower can afford to lose. Corn, Tobacco Best 3. In all instances where resist ant varieties were found dying to any great extent and where a por tion of the field was planted to to bacco after tobacco, there was a striking difference in plant survi val as compared to the area in the field where tobacco followed corn. In some instances the same varie ty had died 50 to 90 per cent on the portions of the field where to bacco was following tobacco, while in the rest of the field, with tobac co following corn, the variety was standing up-90 to 99 per cent. 4. In almost every instance where the loss of a resistant va riety was great, there was a hea vy infestation of nematodes of one kind or another. The question arises immediately if the weakened plant with its root system damag ed by nematodes is more suscep tible and may become infested with black shank in an earlier stage than if the plant and root system are healthy. (The heavy infestation of the plant roots with nematodes was largely responsible for the rapid ripening and prema ture firing under the hot, dry weather conditions late in the past harvest season.) At any rate, growers are urged to get some ex perience with soil treatment by treating at least a part of their acreage with DD or Dowfume W -40 where root knot or meadow nematode is bad. The roots of to bacco plants should be plowed up as soon as possible after the harv est is completed. The sun will kill many of the nematodes when the tobacco roots are exposed. 5. With hot, dry weather prevail ing during and following trans planting, there was more than the usual amount of fertilizer injury to the root system. Again the ques tion arises whether a large per centage of the plants, even with resistant varieties, may have be come infected with black shank as a result of a damaged root sys tem and a weakened plant. Fertili zer should be applied in such a way as to reduce injury to the root system to a minimum. This can be done by using a band placement distributor or making a split ap plication. Many Wireworms 6. There was more than the us ual amount of wireworm injury, and again there is a question of whether a larger per cent of the plants 'will become infected with black shank where the roots and lower stalk are damaged by the wireworms or cutworm. Treatment for wireworm control will reduce diffic L ies caused by this pest. 7. V ..ere resistant varieties fail ed to live satisfactorily, many of the plants appeared to be sick with black shank and seemed to be struggling to survive. Hot, dry weather seemed to be taking the moisture out of the plant faster than the damaged root system could replace it. This perhaps re sulted in the death of many plants that otherwise might have recov ered had the rainfall been better distributed and the temperature mild. Many growers noted that plants of resistant varieties which were sick from black shank made considerable recovery, if they were not too far gone, when a shower came. It is recognized that black shank spreads faster in rainy weather, but the very hot, dry weather seemed to kill a larger percentage of the infected plants than would likely have been killed under conditions of more favorable growth. 8. Growers should avoid trans planting resistant varieties late in hot weather. Reasonably early transplanting is best. 9. Careful harvesting of uni formly ripe tobacco will do much toward eliminating undesirable characteristics of varieties criticiz ed by the buying companies. Along with these suggestions, each grower should, of course, fol low other good practices and prop er management in order to offset or overcome as many of the unfav orable conditions as possible. A word of caution is in order. When a variety is described as “re sistant,” this does not mean that it is considered immune from attacks of black shank. Os the varieties available, only moderate resist ance to black shank is offered by Dixie Bright 101, Oxford 1, Ox ford 1-181, and most of the Vestas. Dixie Bright 102, Vesta 30, and Vesta 33 are more highly resist ant. Dixie Bright Tops Among the black shank resist ant varieties, Dixie Bright 102 and 101 are producing the best cigar ette quality tobacco under North Carolina conditions. The yield of 101 generally is superior to other black shank resistant lines. The leaves of the variety are tender under conditions of rapid growth. It is susceptible to several of the leaf spots diseases and appears susceptible to nematodes. It has moderate resistance to black shank and high resistance to Granville wilt. The variety needs to become very ripe before priming al most to the extent of beginning to fire at the tip. If 101 tends to cure too bright this can usually be par tially overcome by allowing the leaf to become well ripened in the field and yellow in the barn. Dixie Bright 102 is of high qual ity, produces moderate yields (usu ally about 200 to 300 pounds less per acre than 101), is not as brit tle as 101 but apparently is just as susceptible to leaf spot diseases. The 102 strain is highly resistant to both black shank and Granville wilt. It needs to be dried faster than other varieties during the leaf-curing process. Dixie Bright 101 and 102 do not tend to button prematurely under dry weather conditions as do Ox ford 1, Mammoth Gold, Hicks, Gold Dollar, and Vesta 30. , Readers' Forum To the Editor: Hope everybody is feeling fine. lam OK. Had a hail storm the 6th. Hail and wind did about 37 percent damage to some parts of the to bacco fields here. This morning we had right much frost and ise on the leaves of tobacco. Can’t tell how much damage until the sun shines more. It is cold here to me. R. J. Hagwood. RR-1, Strathroy, Ontario, Canada. Recorder's Court (Continued from Page 1) $l4O fine and costs.
