Is Your Rural Supply As Safe As You Would Like? i .Water is one gift of nature which nfeiftinMot get.along without How ever, that same water, under cer tain conditions, can mean death and sorrow. In a bulletin released by the North Carolin State Board of Health it suggests that rural water sup plies do not come upo the stan dards of water safety that they should. '.Even though ' most urban water supplies are ample to fill the needs and receive treatment to make them meet the standards of safety, they serve a relatively small part of our population as about two-thirds of the people in North Carolina live in rural areas," the bulletin says. Since pollution of water by or ganic matter of animal or plant origin is always prevalent in ru ral areas of North Carolina, par ticular caution should be taken to see that water supplies are approv ed. The bulletin further states: "The water that goes into the formation of surface streams and lakes not only retains much of this matter but also takes up large amounts of inorganic substances in solu tion of suspension. Subsurface wa ter in seeping through the pollu tion. This Is not always the case, however, as in some instances wa ter does not penetrate to a suf ficient depth to afford the re quired filtration and in others it passes through loose, coarse gravel or fissures, rue distance disease germs will penetrate the soil ver tically depends on several factors Including the rainfall, extent of pollution and porosity of the siol.

There are several factors which make rural water supplies appro ved, but one thing is to have a concrete cap at the top of the well, whether drilled or dug. This pre vents surface drainage and direct contamination. Most springs should be considered as contaminated since their water bearing stratum or "vein comes in contact with the ground sur face. It is also important to have a concrete table immediately sur rounding the overflow. The bul leting says, "If it is known that the ground surface is polluted with human excreta at any point within the immediate WATERSHED or the flow is not continuous through out the year, the spring should not be developed as a source of domes tic water. More specifically, in regards tr home water supplies, the bulletin says, "Pollution through the top of ' the well can be prevented b: using a concrete slab and pump so designed, constructed and in stalled as to prevent leakage from the outside.

Bill Reid, farm superintendant, said toc'ay that several experi ments which have been in progress at the Station for several years will be continued along with some new experiments. Breeding line work to be continu ed are with cucumbers, Irish po tatoes, sweet potatoes, hot and sweet peppers and tomatoes. Some experiments are conducted with strawberries, blue berries and dew berries This latter work with fruits is not extensive. Variety testing programs will be conducted with sweet corn, nap beans, field peas, sweet and hot pepper and Italian type pepper. Reid points out that this work is to determine from various varieties of certain crops such important factors as yields, adaption to the area for growth, and disease control and resistance. In the field of soil fertility work, considerable emphasis is being pla ced. This js not done with parti cular brands of fertilizer but ra ther with various combinations of ingredients of elements which are used for plant food mixtures. The soil fertility work is to be conducted from the plant bed to the field. Research with plant beds is be coming increasingly more impor tant. Reid says. He points out that use of plastic covers for plar.t beds present different problems in pro duction of plants in relation to wa tering, airing and disease. In the past, glass was used for covers of plant beds. Plastic covers are air tight and as a result more problems are becoming more prevalent every year. In the Duplin-Sampson area, plant beds are very important in Corn Acreage Increase Likely Fpr Use .

(Ually discounted. All farmers are Joe Koonce, Jr , County Farm : urged to carefully consider the Agent, points out that emphasis seems to be on white corn because of the curren higher price being nairi fnr whitp pnm. One of the major factors in in- creased corn acreage is the demand for more grain for broilers, beef and swine production in Eastern North Carolina during the past two years. Several factors are important to consider, according to Koonee. in order to prevent eventual pitfalls. Farmers are urged to consider the following items carefully before planting their corn this year. (1) Since white corn prices are currently running much higher than yellow corn, many farmers are planning to plant white corn. If a large number of farmers switch to white corn, the price next fall will likely he below yellow corn. More than 90 of the total corn market prefers yellow corn. Therefore, "vhen the demand: for white corn is filled, white corn prices usually drop below yellow corn. Another consideration is that if white and Carolina Telephone Co. Files Petition For Rate Increase To Be Adjusted Again Carolina Telephone and Tele graph Company filed with the North Carolina Utilities Commis sion on March 8 requesting the Commission to authorize arid ap prove the rates as established by the Company under bond on bills dated November 25, 1957 and there after, to relelve the company of the present bond, to determine the fair rate of return on the fair value of the property, and to establish such additional rates and charges as may be applicable for the fu ture. The petition states that in ful filling its obligations to provide adequate telephone service in the area it serves, the company's to tal telephone plant Investment has increased from 37-l2 million dol lars at the end of October 1952 (investment date for last rate pro ceeding) to over 79 million dol lars at the end of December 1957 an increase of over 41 million dol lars. During the same period the number Of telephones increased from 105,463 to 153,279. The to tal telephone plant added per tele phone gained since the last rate proceeding is 1870. This - cost per telephoned gain! reflects the in creases In -costs of material and labor during the period as well as the additional Investment re tfv CENTS Plain Planting regards to vegetables, especially peppers and egg plants. Insect problems are studied every year Reid says the importance is seen through the fact that some in secticides which are placed on the market get good results so far as insect control is concerned, but it may be harmful to the human body. When such an insecticide Is found-, it is not recommended. There are many new products which are pla ced on the market annually and all which are used on vegetables are tested to prove effectiveness . P!ant disease expeiiments and studies are very important and more are planned this year at the Coastal Plain Vegetable Research Station. New and better ways to control diseases in vegeables are al ways being sought. These studies of plant diseases are being conducted from the plant bed to the field, and even in trans portation of the poruct to marke. Eeid ponits this out by the fact that last year a scientist followed i rode with a load of pickling cucumbers to Michigan to deter mine the disease, if any, that would effect the pickling cucumber from the market to the receiving point. In other words, after the cucum bers arrived in Michigan, each pack age was checked to see what the condition of the cucumber was. If it was rotten, it was checked to see which organism was responsi ble for the breakdown in transit. Over the past few years, experi ments in irrigation have proven the value of irrigation on farms where the operation is being e nough to support irrigation . The Coastal Plain Vegetable Re search Station consist of 45 acres, 38 of which are under cultivation for the purpose of testing various crops in varied conditions .white vs. yellow corn problem be fore deciding which one to plant. (2) Short season corns apparently are becoming more popular Since the quality of short season corn is not as good as the full season corns it is very important for a grower to be in a position to harvest those short season crons as they become rendy. A e'elay in harvesting gen erally means a lower quality corn. Also, according to the official var iety tests, the yield of short season corns is less than ome of the bet ter full season hybrids. Therefore, it will be necessary for a grower to market short season corn in such a way as to get enough premium to offset any loss in yield. (3) It is becoming increasingly important that if farmers are to get the maximum income from corn, hey must find ways and means of storing part or all the crop in order to avoid the selling of the crop at harvest time when prices are at the lowest level. Indications are that more interest will be shown in the storage of corn on the farm. quired in the improvement of ser vice. The high cost of construction as indicated by the additional invest ment per telephone gained during the period has had the effect of depressing the rate of return as allowed by the Commission in Jts order of July 1953, which was thej last application for a rate increase Notwithstanding the gain in sta tions, the petition states, the com pany had 7,400 unfilled applications for telephone service at the end of 1957 as well as a substantial number of requests for higher grades of service from existing customers-Total salary and wage payments for the year 1957 were $7,369,517 as compared with $4,326,918 for the year 1952. The increases In salaries and wages reflect the general In creases granted to employees sinee i 1052 as well as an Increase in , number of employees from 11 -at the end ot 1952 to 2,229 at f end of 1957.
