THE I IVS.RECORD MARSHALL, N. C, JULY 4, 19C8 EXTENSION NEWS Cheese baa a long history of use as a convenience food. Cheese was part of the regular rations of the conquering Roman armies. Soldiers relished this compact, concentrated form of food that kept well. Today cheese helps meet the body's daily requirements for cal cium, protein, and other body building nutrients found in milk, says USDA nutritionists. It is a favorite for quick snacks at home or on the move, and is appearing in vending machines.

This disease annually costs Mad ison County farmers more money than all the other burley diseases combined. Yet many farmers con tinue to grow tobacco year after year in the same field. Everyone knows about a field which has been cropped in tobacco continu ously for twenty years and never had black root rot. We should realize that these are exceptions rather than the rule. This is the time of year to be on the lookout for stunted and wilted plants which tell the farm er that black root rot has invaded his field. An examination of the root system will show that the few remaining roots are black ened, rotted and stubby. There are not enough roots for the plant to feed, so it does not grow. If black root rot is present, some extra nitrogen would be helpful. In addition, the soil should be pulled around the stalk to encourage new roots to grow. CO.

A Tribute To The Late J. N. Ramsey The death of J. N. Ramsey, June 17, 1968, marked a closing chapter in the history of a lead ing pioneer family of the Madi son County hills. He was the last remaining member of the immedi ate clan of Jacob N. and Nancy Carter Ramsey of the East Fork community. "Uncle Bub," as he was affec tionately called, lived his entire life span only a short distance from the place of his birth. Un til his retirement some years ago, he tilled the same fields as his ancestors. With the able assist ance of the surviving helpmate, Hester Willis Ramsey, he reared a family of three children: two daughters, Mrs. Lige Hutchins, of Mars Hill, and Mrs. S. B. Riddle, of Asheville; and a son, Van, of Marshall, Route 2. There are also a number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. John Ramsey, grandparent of "Uncle Bub," was the first Bet) tier on we headwaters ofiBuijl Creek. He ' obtained title to sev eral thousand acres of land through a federal land grant. A sizeable portion of this property is still owned by his descendants. He helped to organize and was the first deacon ordained by Peek's Chapel Baptist Church, of which Uncle Bub was almost a life long member. Following the original settle ment of new land areas, the fam ily of Mr. Ramsey set up the first lumbering operation in this sec tion. A grist mill for grinding corn meal and wheat flour was also among the first established. A company store for the use of employees, which preceded the old time country store, was built. Many of the hand made farm tools of the area were designed and put into use here. Like those of the clan who pre ceded him, Uncle Bub was known as a benefactor of the poor. A mong the sprawling acres which he knew so well are landmarks named in memory of beloved Ne groes who achieved a status no lower than being a part of the family. A cup of cold water in charity given was not enough ev en for the wayward stranger who Attending Institute 1 qiime i Janet Hall, a teacher at Mars Hill High School is attending the Modern Mathematics Institute at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City. Singing The regular first Sunday night singing will be held this Sunday, July 6 at 7:30 p. m., at the Dry Branch Free Will Baptist Church.

The era of history and the achievements of Uncle Bub, and" other pioneer families, represents a period of time in which the cul ture and background of present civilization was formed. It is a part of the heritage of every American. On the morning of June 17, 1968, J. N. "Uncle Bub" Ramsey con cluded the final moments of some 85 years upon this earth. As the first ray of the sun bathed the green hills he loved, his tired heart ceased to function. He was Jaid to rest in the family ceme tery overlooking the birthplace. Today, he has a new possession which he could not obtain in life; a reward prepared for those who love the Lord. Death has taken its toll, but for those who knew him, Uncle Bub left a wonderful and inspirit memory to guide our foot steps.
