THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXXV, Number 3. Zebulon, N. C., Thursday, March 31, 1960 Theo. Davis Sons, Publishers Ag Instructor Says: Plant Beds Need Great Care extensive damage has been done to tobacco plant beds in the Wake Ion School district, C. V. Tart, Wakelon agriculture instructor, said. Tart added that immediate ac tion should be taken to make up for the situation in order to get plants as early as possible. Beds that were seeded early and have not come up should be all right, he said. However, it might be wise to seed about one-half tea sponful of seed per 100 square yards as soon as possible and to add three to five pounds of nitrate of soda to this same amount of space. These beds should be kept wa tered to prevent drying out. If the surface of the bed is loose due to freezing and spewing, it should be firmed by rolling or patting with a shovel or by watering to prevent drying out, he said. Beds that hav not been seeded, Tart said, should be seeded as soon as possible. About eight to 10 pounds of granular nitrate of soda should be used on beds treat ed with methyl bromide. Plastic covers, he continued, may be used if the weather is cool enough to need them. Clear plastic should be used on the bed and supported by bags of straw to prevent the cover from touching the plants. When the tempera ture reaches 65 to 70 degrees the covers should be rolled back and removed. The main thing now is to rush the plants along, Tart said. This should be done by proper watering instead of too much soda. As soon as the plants are the size of a dime some method of blue mold control should be start ed. Plants are late now and a delay because of blue mold should be avoided. Application of treat ment should be made twice weekly with additional applications when material is washed off by rain or irrigation. Beds should be dusted with DDT (Continued on Page 7) Scouting Active In Community Says Rotarian “There are 139 boys active in Scouting in the Zebulon commu nity,” Eldred Rountree told mem bers of the Zebulon Rotary Club | last Wednesday night. “In addi- ! tion,” he continued, “nearly 50 adult leaders are active in the program.” The former Cubmaster related these facts in a talk about Rotar- , isns in Scouting. During his talk, | he related experiences of promi nent members of Rotary Interna tional who have worked in Scout ing. Interesting information present ed by Mr. Rountree included facts about Camp Durant, the Scout camp located north of Raleigh, which contains 500 acres of rolling land and is “the finest in the United States.” The budget of the Occoneechee Council is $205,000 per year, and for the Saponi District, $10,000 per year.
