An "Old Timer" Of Duplin, Of Civil War History, An Inventor, Goes To Rest At 94 By CALVIN PORTER (Special for The Duplin Times) One of Mount Olive's oldest and most colorful citizens died this week. Gilbert "Elmore Alphin, Sr., 94, prominent Tetired farmer, mer chant, and inventor, died at his home here Monday night after a lingering illness. Mr. Alphin was born in Duplin County on May 15, I860, and trav eled a hard road to success in the three fields mentioned above. The Civil War destroyed the Alphin be longings and so at the age of 16, Alphin set out an his own, first working as a hired hand on farms, then selling apples on the streets of Goldsboro, and (finally blossomed into success tn the business, farm ing and Invention fields. -At the time ot his death, Mr. Al. pnin naa patented six inventions. Another Alphin invention, a poultry teeaer, was never patented, but those who have aeen it work say it is another example of the inventor's ingenuity. -i. ,- v. ; v, Alphin'a six patented inventions were diverted, ranging from things mai picas? rae xarmer, to those for the housewife, and business, emeu.

Blue Mold Hits , State; Wester; 4 Conditions Meal The first reported c-'e nf Blue Mold in 1955 in North Carolina was found on Mr. Bill Hook s tarm near Whiteville, N. C. on March 18. Wea. ther conditions for the past few days have been ideal for the deve lopment and spread of Blue Mold, and Duplin County farmers may ex. pert Blue Mold to appear on their beds any time, says V. H. Rey nolds, Farm Agent. The recommended Ferbam and Z i n e b fungicides are "Preventa tives" and not a "Cure" for Blue Mold, therefore, it is important that treatments be started befbie disease appears. Tobacco should be sprayed or dusted twice a week until plants are transplanted to the field with one of the following chemicals. Dithane Z-78 or Parzate for spray, use 65 per cent Zineb at a rate of 3 pounds to 100 gallons of water, or 2 1-2 level tablespoon fulls to a gal lon of water. For r'ust tieatment, use 6 1-2 per cent Zineb dust. If you use Fer mate nuleaf or ferradow as a spray use 76 per cent Ferbam at the rate of 4 pounds to 100 gallons of wat er, or 5 loyal tablespoon fulls per gallon. For dust use a mixture con taining 11 4-10 per cent Ferbam. "Act now, it will be too late when Blue Mold hits," Reynolds advises. which, at that tlm w. '. ,Hi counter and wholfr placfr .
