Burley tobacco grown in Western North
Carolina is usually topped in the full flower stage
and usually harvested about 25 days after topping.
One application ot either a contact or systemic
chemical will usually give excellent control.
However, if harvest is delayed or if the season is
favorable for sucker growth, one application of
chemical may not be enough to get the job done.
More and more Madison County farmers are
using two applications of chemicals for near
perfect control. The method involves application
of a contact (such as off-shoot-T) when tobacco is
in the button stage, followed four to 10 days later
by topping and an application of a systemic (such
as MH-30). By using this method there are few
suckers to remove at topping, and control will last
a full 30 days or more after topping. The extra
time used in the second spraying is partically
offset by the lack of suckers to be broken at top
ping time.
The contact chemical needs to be sprayed on
with a different method than that needed for M. H.
Contact your agricultural agent for information
on using the contact chemicals.
? This method can save the farmer money and
make the farmer money. Blooms and suckers are
costly When both are removed early, the benefits
wili show up in extra weight of tobacco.

The county's RC&D Council

for North Carolina Region B
"It was a chance to meet
with others to examine op
portunities to manage national
forest land which will satisfy a
local need," Olson said.
According to a forest service
representative, there is a tract
of about 50 acres in a gap
between Hickey Fork and Big
Creek that is suitable for such
a development. It is accessible
now only by logging road; a
new road would have to be
constructed if the campground
were to be built
Members of the delegation
gathered at the Madison
County Public Safety Com
mission office in Marshall and
used four-wheel drive vehicles
to reach the site. Open fields in
the area inspected are
presently being maintained by
the North Carolina Game
Commission for Wildlife
There are numerous small
streams in the area which
could be utilized as a water
source for pond or lake
development.

have rearranged to ac
commodate the new equip
ment bought thia year
Whenever space allowed, new
kitchen equipment was added
Special emphasis was given
health services during the
year Funds from a health
grant were used to provide
routine dental work for S3
children and some follow-up
work Services were provided
in cooperation with three
county dentists and the dental
clinic at Asheville Buncombe
Technical Institute. In ad
dition, speech therapy was
provided several youngsters
A spokesman praised the
cooperation of community
agencies Public health nurses
continued to visit each center
monthly to screen vision and
hearing and to confer with
teachers about health
problems Personnel from the
health department and North
Carolina Agricultural
Extension Service volunteered
to give programs on nutrition
and health for day care staff
and parents of children The
recreational department is
providing swimming sessions
for each center during the
summer
Each child was screened by
a speech pathologist Children
with speech problems were
given therapy by a speech
pathologist through the
training program or
Rehabilitation Associates
While the children were
learning so were their
teachers. Under the Region B
Training Grant for day care
personnel, all but two staff
members have taken college
credit courses Observing and
recording child behavior and
speech corrections were the
two most popular courses.
Starting off the new fiscal
year is a workshop on first aid,
choking and CRP (car
diopulmonary resuscitation).
Later this summer an institute
on early childhood education is
expected to draw several staff
members to sessions at
Warren Wilson College
Sponsor is the North Carolina
Department of Public
Instruction
January presented un
deniable problems, but as
often as possible the snowy
weather was turned to ad
vantage Despite frozen pipes
and heating problems, day
care centers remained open to
accommodate children who
could travel to the center
To make efficient use of the
time when attendance was low
a puppet workshop was
arranged with the Third
Century Artist Deborah
Compton in charge and a
learning lab was set up in the
Marshall Center. Especially
popular was materials
showing ways to use winter as
a source for learning.
Although summer is usually
the time for field trips, the ski
slopes at Wolf Laurel provided
an excursion for the children
last winter. During the sum
mer children enjoyed trips
almost weekly with the duck
pond at Biltmore Forest,
Asheville Recreation Park and
Zoo, and the Health Museum
being favorite spots.
Still further expansion of day
care services is anticipated. A
study completed this spring by
Mars Hill College intern, under
the direction of Dr. Jack
Gross, chairman of the
business department, shows
that managers of the Madison
County industries expect to
increase the number of em
ployees This will mean more
women will be in the work
force, and some of them will
need day care services. To find
the services most wanted,
quest ionnaries were given to
current plant employees and
parents of children currently
in the day care program. Moot
frequently requested waa care
for infants and toddlers up to X
months of age. After school
care and summer camps for
children 6-10 years of age were
also frequently requested
Completion of new buildings
will allow these new services to
be added. Additional copies of
the study are at the Madison
County Child Development
Office on Skyway Drive.
The study showed that in
dustry representatives and
parents of children currently
enrolled are pleased with the
day care services which are
now available.

I hofie to cut my
heating costs by
one-third next winter.
And I got the money
to do it at Wachovia.
Did you have heating bills
like mine last winter? Well,
I'm doing something about it,
now. Adding extra insulation
in the attic, storm windows
and a few other things. This
way, the experts say I can
save as much as one-third
on my home heating costs,
from now on.
The whole project didn't
cost as much as I thought.
And I really got a good deal
on my loan at Wachovia. My
Personal Banker calls it an
Energy Saver Loan. At bank
rates and simple interest.
When you add it up, this
loan may not be the largest
I ever got, but it's sure one
of the smartest.
