Thursday, April 27, 1950 Qualla PTA Holds Last Meeting Of Year, Scout Troop Honored The Qualla Parent-Teacher Association held its last meeting of the year on Wednesday night, April 19, at the school. Mrs. Helen Cathey, president, was in charge. The meeting was opened with a prayer by Rev. J. L. Hyatt. The room count showed a tie between Miss Cathey's and Mrs. Martin's room in parents present. Following the brief business session Mrs. Cathey introduced Mr. Bill Ensor of Cherokee who was in charge of the program. Mr. "ir.nc^r oa vp some vppv interesting lacts concerning the origin of Boy Scouts of America, the aims and purposes of the organization, the different* ranks, etc. He then presented the charter for the newly organized troup, which is being sponsored by the Qualia PTA, to the president of the Association, Mrs. Cathey. The troop will hereafter be known as Qualia Troup, No. 18, Daniel Boone Council, Boy * Scouts of America. The following officers of the Scout Troop were introduced: Scout-master, John S. Hyatt; assistant scout-master, James Ridgeway; and troup committee, Emerson Cathey, chairman, Buford Cabe, and Howard Reagan. Eleven boys are eligible foi membership and were presentee membership cards. These boys TOBACCO PLANT SITUATION IN , NORTH CAROLINA The tobacco plant situation ii s e r i oju s in many areas ol the state. The plant scarcity U most evident in the Eastern sections because it is now clear that the present stand on the beds if all there will be this year in time to do any good . While in the middle and old belt and in the burle) area the growers are still hopeful that more plants will appear or the beds where the stands arc light. This is not likely unless seed has been added to the bed recently and unless water is suppliec to keep the upper surface of the soil moist. + m * Every effort should be made b> the growers to nurse and proteel the plants they have left againsl dry weather, blue mold and insects. WHAT CAN BE DONE NOW Water beds where the plants arc small or just coming up at least every other day. The equivalent of 1-4 to 1-2 inch of water at each application is fine on beds at this stage. Plants that are well set should be watered 2 or 3 times per week with 1-2 to 1 inch oi water to keep the plants growing (It will take a little over 5 barrels, 280 gallons of water, to supply 1-2 inch to 100 square yards) Apply water just ahead of the blue mold treatment insofar as possible Many growers have underestimated the dry conditions of the soil with strong winds taking the moisture up immediately after each shower. In many cases light fchowefrs fell immediately after the seed were sown and some oi the plants came up, others that were sprouted dried out and died Water at seed germination time is important. Larger plants are being lost now where beds are located on dry thirsty soil as a result of the drought. Blue mold has been unusually active in view of the dry weather, As water is applied or when rain comes, efforts to control blue mold will need to be intensified, Many growers have confused cold injury with blue mold and have consequently been discouraged in continuing the treatment. Good results with Fermate are in evidence everywhere that the growers are applying the treatment liberally, carefully, - frequently enough and with the right equipment. Growers are strongly urged to continue their blue mold control program, strive to get the best coverage possible and use liberal applications of material, especially when conditions are favorable for blue mold development. The midge and crane larvae, flea beetle and white grub have contributed to poor stands in many cases. They are still active in certain areas. The midge larvae, flea beetle, and crane fly larvae can be controlled with DDT. The white grub can be controlled with the use of Parathion (observe precautions in applying this). Keep a close look for the vegetable weevil worm that feeds on the leaves arid apply DDT for control. Keep on the look out for plant aphis in the bed (see your county \ agent for details). U. S.
