A
Over 8,000 Peach Trees Removed
From Abandoned Orchards Here
Ridding Section of Diseased and
Dying Trees by Relief Work
ers Progresses Rapidly
According to a report released from
the State Office of Phony Peach
Disease Control at Aberdeen, 8,415
dying and diseased trees have been
taken up in Moore county during the
month of September. Regardless of
the several days rainy weather and
the fact that the work was not be.
gun until the second week in the
month, the work is going forward
steadily.
The organization at present con.
sists of 40 relief laborers and two
foremen m Moore county and 12 re.
lief laborers and one foreman in
Hoke county under the supervision
of John G. Sloan of Aberdeen; 40 re.
lief laborers and two foremen in
Richmond county and 12 relief labor,
ers and one foreman in Scotland
county under the supervision of J.
Thomas Page of Rockingham; 30
relief laborers and ^ne foreman in
Montgomery county, under the sup.
ervision of Harrell Lemmons of Troy;
20 relief laborers and one foreman,
In Anson county, under the super,
vision of B. F. Huntley of Wades,
boro. Charles II. Hearn, agent, U.
S. D. A., is in charge of the work in
North Carolina, dnder the direction
of William F. Turner, project leader,
Phony Peach Disease Control, At.
lanta, Ga., in collaboration with Dr.
R. W. Lelby, State Entomologist,
Raleigh.
Splendid cooperation has been giv_
en the field men by the orchard own_
ers in carrying on their work. Only
two objectors have been encountered
and these orchards were being leased
out by the owners.
Besides supplying much needed
work to the great number of relief
cases in the various counties, this
work will be of momenteoiis value
to the f^rchard owners over the enflre
peach growing S'pctlon of the state.
The Phony Peach disease and Its
deadly advance In the state means the
loss of thousands of dollars to the
orchard men. Absolute cooperation Is
sought.
