Don't Be A Sucker Over Sucker Control

by PAUL BARWICK
By the time - this, article ap
pears, the NorthN Carolina. Gene
ral Assembly will have (if , the
calendar is followed) discussed
at length on the floor of the Ge
neral Assembly the proposed le
gislation ' outlawing . the use of
MH-30 for use In tobacco sucker
control in North Carolina.
This is a big problem lor North
Carolina tobacco farmers and
should be considered seriously
not Just off the top of the head.
Because of the importance of
the issue involved, I contacted a
friend dose to' the situation and
asked for some very frank an
swers about MH-30.
Bob Parker, public relations di
rector of Farm Bureau of North
Carolina, was very frank. I would
like to pass onto you what he
had to say, after' long and care
ful study, and let "you be the one
to say ?yes" or 'No". There is
a possibility, and a strong one
from what information I can ob
tain, that the bill will not pass
on the floor of the General As
sembly. That wilt then mean that
it will be up to the farmers them
selves to say what will be done.
MH-30 was first used about
10 years ago as a sucker control
on tobacco in the Connecticut
Valley. When -fanners learned
that it wouid control sucker gro
wth, and cut labor, more and
more farmers used MH-30 and
its use spread into the Flue Cure
Tobacco Belt.
As more and more farmers us
ed MH-30, it became more and
more apparent that it did effect
tobacco in various ways, Discus
sion overseas picked .up - as. to
whether the tobacco had lost
"some of its taste quality.
I asked Bob point blank, DeB
' MH-30 effect thes quality of .ct
- red tobacco and ."From the far
mers point of view, are the, long
range disadvantages greater than
the abort term advantages.'
Bob said, "It is generally ag
reed that if r used improperly,
: MH-30 does cause undeslreable
effects on tobacco, a point of
fact admitted by tobacco compa

nies." Then he added, ,"Yes,
there is conclusive evidence that
if improperly used, MH-30 will
lower the quality of tobacco.
In an instruction ; pamphlet,
which we have in our hands, the
manufactuers of MH-30 (maleic
hydrazide, 30 per cent active)
there are four specific "proper
procedure" clauses for using
MH-30. They are: (1) time ap
plication correctly (2) use pro
per equipment (3) use recom
mended amounts of MH-30 and
(4) harvest only mature or ripe
leaves.
I'd like to quote from the pam
phlet a few phases. "Correct
Time to Apply MH-30. When 90
percent of your plants have be
gun to shed their first flowers
(middle to full flower see
picture) and the tip leaves to be
harvested are at least six inches
long, either: (a) top and sucker
all plants and then spray MH-30
within 24 hours or (b) spray
MH-30 and then top and sucker
all plants within 3 days."
"High humidity and good soil
moisture. Best absorption of MH
30 into he leaf occurs under high
humidity and good soil moisture
conditions."
The following question is put
here to the farmers, are just
these two "musts" followed?
I also asked Bob, "If material
is applied under ideal conditions,
does it effect the leaf?"
He answered it by saying that
the "question is debatable." Then
he added that, "Tobacco compa
nies and overseas buyers and to
bacco export companies in this
country are generally agreed that
MH-30 efforts cured leaf in ways
not shown to the naked eye
or feel. Among these art - (1) it
affects the CJljng ..auali of to-
toMco (2). H effects the burning
characteristics (3) it has undesi-j
re able effect on smoking flavor.
This is the most serious charge
against it to date."
Dr. Kjtfnneth Kelly, director
of Tobacco Research, North Ca
rolina State College says, he is
now advising farmers, Not to

Too often young men join the
Jaycees think only of what they
can get out of it for themselves. It
is a real surprise when they learn
that they dont get much out un
lest they put a lot in. Many who
have the equality of personality to
put study and quiet time into its
necessary yet proper place still
find the time for participation in
the many worthy projects. They
become better lathers, husbands,
employees, citiaens and better
men.
Personally, I think the greatest
value of the Jaycee movement is
that it provides a testing ground
for young men to discover their
own weaknesses. And then too it
is better to find out some -of these
things while working among Jay
cee friends than in the fierce com'
petition of business, politics, or
piofessions.
Successful Jaycees have gone to
greater things In other fields of
service", partly because of lessons
learned in the "Jaycees.

Tobacco Associates has been in
contact with the majority of to
bacco companies that purchase
tobacco from the warehouse flo
or. Tobacco Associates and Farm.
Bureau leaders have in their fi
les written statements support
ing these three charges, Accord
ing to Bob Parker.
It was learned that under con
sideration now is the possibility
of establishing new grades for
tobacco. This would lower the
support price on tobacco on
which MH-30 had been used.
I asked Bob what would hap
pen if farmers used MH-30 any
how. He said that some tobacco
companies have gone so far as
to suggest that they would pur
chase, the tobacco on condition
and then have it analyzed chemi
cally or not purchase until it
had been anaylzed chemically.
This would delay all sales by
two or three days after it was
placed on the floor. Then, if the
tobacco companies refused to buy
the tobacco, it would go into
Stabilization and then, with a
large surplus, the entire tobacco
program would be in serious po

drop between 20 and 30 per cent
if the majority of tobacco far
mers use MH-30.
The reason for not taking this
to the Federal Government is
very pointed. Secretary of Agri
culture Ezra Benson has been
after the tobacco programs, ac
cording to tobacco leaders, and if
he' got a shot at this, he might
destroy the very tobacco pro
gram which is the backbone of
the economy in North Carolina,
It is now left up to the farmer
entirely as to what to do. It is
obvious that tobacco companies
do not want tobacco which has
been exposed to MH-30. One
thing is sure, the farmer can
not smoke and chew all the to
bacco he produces.
I am not taking sides, but will
pass on an opinion. Until some
thing more specific is determin
ed and with the tobacco program
in bad enough condition as it
stands now, it seems to me it
would be better for the farmer
to leave off MH-30. This is se
rious business. It doesn't make
good sense to say, "We'll use
MH-30 regardless of what the
(tobacco companies say." After
all, it's. these tobacco companies
which really make our local eco
nomy tick.
In the three years at North Dup
lin, he stands 67-5, and previous to
that his record at. Brogdea High is
113-7 . . that's" good enough for
anybody's .books.
PLAY BALL LITTLE LEAGUERS
The second season of the Warsaw
Little League Baseball will get un
der way Wednesday afternoon of
this week. The league consists of
4 teams, Jaycees, Lions Legion and
Rotary. The Lion's under their very
capable Manager Paul Britt will be
out to win their second stralnght
championship. The Lions lost only
one game last season. The other
teams will be under the following
manage: s; Ted Wilson of the Ro
tary, WUbeot Boney of the Legion,
and Allen Draughan of the Jaycees.
As you know these business men
of our town are giving their time
and efforts to help our youth and I
feel sure they will apprecia'e your
support and in case you find, a few
hours your help, I understand
Walker McNeil has been planning
to help with the Legion team and If
you can come out or contact these
manage. s they will welcome you...
As you can see from the schedule
games will be played on Wednesday
and Saturday and sometime it will
be impossible for the manager to
ihe there. So if you can pinch hit
for one of these managers once-in-a-
while . . please contact them.
Little League is a proud, vigorous
.community of people bonded by a
common denominator of boys and
baseball. No program, of the scope

This has been another cold
winter and later lots of rain, how
ever I believe the Bookmobile
made more trips than it did a year
ago and we were better prepared
for loss of trips. We were able to
leave more volumes of good books
on each visit, enough to keep our
readers busy daring bad weather.
Many had to come to Kenansville
On business nnrt come tn th lihr-
I arv for extra books.
Since the first of July the Book
mobile has left around the county
3918 volumes in the 10 monts. In
addition we have delivered to the
four branches 3175 new titles which
Raleigh will not accept as "circul
ation" since they were practically
delivery. That has been the Book
mobile work these months. In the
office here in Kenansville, we have
been swamped. Readers from all
over the county have borrowed
8162 books - individuals needing
books both for reference and re
ceational reading. That's is a total
of 15,253 books Issued and two
months to go.
In addition 2704 books have been
selected and made ready for the
Colored Library Service. Through
February the Colored Library had
circulated 6534 volumes county
wide. The Library has purchased 1830
volumes, of which 1302 Were new
titles. All these have been catalo
gued and added to the collection
With no interruptions it takes
about 15 minutes after checking
the invoices to Put a new book on
