Schools, al ready dismissed due to snow and icy roads, were further postpon ed. Dates on reopening are in the "wait and see" status. Many businesses which opened here Wednesday morning decided to call it "quits" as roads became practically impassible even with chains. Some few stayed open throughout the day but trading was at an all-tiane law. Huge drifts of snow on top of ice made driving hazardous throughout the county. Hot springs and Mars Hill both re ported about the same story as was found in Marshall. Children took advantage of the fluffy snow and postponement of schools tO thoroughly enjoy snowballing and sliding. The highway at the liorth end of Marshall was the worse it has been this winter. Secondary roads were void of traffic with very few even chancing to walk in the 11 -inch snow. .Ua-ny cars were abandoned oa roads and streets near the busi ness area. Although tons of snow were on roof tops, no serious damage has been reported. Mail deliveries have been made when--ever the mails "ran" and local consumers have been fortunate in having constant electricity. No serious automobile accir dents have been reported. .v Snow. Prevents Showinir Of Pictures Frick WIREWORMS CONTROL IN CORN & TOBACCO LAND Some farmers in Madison Coun ty received extensive damage in their tobacco and corn land as a result of wireworm damage to these crops, stated James M. iStewart, assistant aounty agent. This insect can be controlled with several products presently avail able on the market. Some of the products that are available are DUsldrin, Heptachlor, AUlrin, and GKlordane. These materials can h applied as a broadcast treat ment in a granular form, or they could be sprayed on as a liquid, and -must be applied and disked in, preferably one month prior to planting. 'Aldrin applied at the rate of two pounds of actual material per acre has been one of the most suc cessful chemicals used in the coun ty to control wireworms and can be obtained through local dealers. Most of the Aldrin presently a yailable in granular form is a ar.'c material. This strength in the granular form would- be 40 pounds per acre. Most fanners using this material apply it. with a cyclone seed sower. Farmers who use one of the chemicals mentioned can expect good control of wireworms for at least four years without retreat ment. The average cost of gran ular material will run $f.00 per acre. This cost divided over a 4 year period costs $1.25 per year, or about two pounds of tobacco, or 1 bushel of corn. Additional information con cerning the use of chemicals to control wireworms can be obtain ed by contacting the county aggri eultural agents office, Marshall.
