lowing the use of oil emulsions.
With both the white mineral oil
and white mineral oil emulsion)
there is usually some burning of
leaf and stalk tissue at the base
of the leaf, particularly under
certain conditions. When this bur
ning is severe enough, especially
on the more brittle varieties and
if the weather is hot, it may cause
leaves to drop off. Stalk rot may
occur when oil or Oil emulsion
moistens the stalk at the soil line
and gets into the scars left where
the ground suckers are removed
or where the plant bed leaves have
fallen off. Indications are that the
burn and leaf drop may cause
more damage if the plants are
treated in very hot weather. Leaf
drop may be more severe if ra

ment. Stalk rot may be Increased

though not as good as with MH-30.
Some growers have, used this trea
tment for a number of year( with
out appreciable loss, while others
have experienced more loss from
stalk rot or leaf drop, than they
feel they can afford.
There have been a number of
physical and chemical evaluations
of f-" " .jtreated with oil and

Station and some of the tobacco
companies have cooperated In con

Loan Beneficial
when prices are higher to sell his
grain rather than sell it at har
vest rtime when nrices are low.
Mx i&kley stated that In J958

ne securea a loan xur uui iu
store 'his grain. At the time of
harvest, corn was selling at the
rate of $1.20 per bushel. He did
not wish to let his corn go for
this low price so he stored it in
his bin and kept his corn until
prices were raised to $1.54 per
bushel. This was a gain of 34c
per bushel and when selling 1000
bushels of corn this would value
$340,000 which is enough profit
to justify a farmer to purchase
storage facilities to hold his grain
until prices are higher. This far
mer can tell quite a difference
in rats, mice, and other insects
around his farm since he did
not store his corn loosely in a
crib where rats and other insects
were free to run and multiply.
Mr. Rackley also says it is "good
business" for a farmer to build
his farm storage facilities with
the profit he will gain by hold
ing his grain when prices are
low and selling the grain when
prices are higher.
There are quite a few farmers
in this county who are not fin
ancially able to build storage fa
cilities for their grain. The U. S.
Government has lightened this
burden on these farmers by en
abling the Agricultural Stabili
zation Conservation program to
make a loan to them of up to
B0 of the unerected cost of the
bin with four years to pay this
loan back at the rate of 4 in
terest. You can also receive ass
istance for a Mobile Drying Unit
for your grain. Loans are avai
lable fpr 75 of the cost of the
unit with 3 years to repay the
loan at the rate of 4 interest.
If you feel that you might need
additional grain storage this
year, visit your Abt; office m
Kenansville and receive full de
tails on assistance that can be
made available for the purchase
of this equipment.

gree of these changes has been
consider by some to be small, tho
ugh they affect important consti
tuents. In recent years, there has not
been as much interest shown by
companies in evaluating oil or oil
emulsion treated tobacco as has
been shown in MH-30 treated to
bacco. One company reported that dif
ferences in aroma and flavor in
t: carted tobadco as compared to
non-treated tobacco, detected in
smoke tests, probably was similar
to the strength and harshness as
sociated with tobacco topped too
low and suckered too close. To
date, there is little on no known
organized effort to condemn the
use of white minenal oil or white
mineral oil emulsion as a sucker
control treatment by the manu
faiturers. Oils or oil emulsions are not
recommended for use on tobacco
because of the possible effect on SCIENCE INSTITUTE

Ms. N. B. Boney and the Kenansville Girl Scout Troop with
the television which she was presented by the Girl Suts, thein
parents, friends and former girl scouts, on last Wednesday after
noon. The Girl Scouts and their mothers gave a reception honoring
Mrs. Boney who is retiring from active girl scout work after
twenty years of service as leader. Photo by Ruth P. Grady.)
Mrs. Boney Honored By Scouts 1
by: Mrs. C. B. Guthrie
In May of 1939 the mothers
of Kenansville became interest
ed in girl scout work. Mrs. N. B
Boney, who bad been leading a
group of Camp Fire girls, was
asked to act as leader of the
troop to be organized.
In order to organize, a troop
must have a sponsor. The late
Mrs. R. V. Wells, who was pre
sident of the Woman's Club, put
the matter before the club and as
a result they accepted the spon
sorship gladly and remained its
sponsor until they disbanded a
few years ago.
Under Mrs. Boney's leadership,
with the help of committee mem
bers, some of whom have been
Mrs. Perry Dobson, Mrs. A. T.
Outlaw, Mrs. Amos Brinson, Mrs.
K. A. Newton and many more, a
number of girls have been tau
ght the principles of sharing,
good sportsmanship, honesty,
"handi-work" and urged to sea
rch for the good and wholesome
things in life and to use them.
For the past twenty years, Mrs.
Boney has never shirked her res
ponsibility, always - putting her
scout work next to her church;
giving her time each week, fifty
-two weeks in the year. When
she was asked how long was
twenty years? Her answer was
very readily, "Not long enough,
as there was so much to do and
to be done," she also said it was
She who was most benefitted by
her work, because in working
with youth, she had been able to
have a younger person's view
point on living.
Because of all these things,
Mrs. Boney hates very much to
give us this work as an active
leader, but as time moves on
she feels she must.
Because of her decision, the
present troop wished to recog
nize her for her work in a spe
cial kind of way. So, with the
help of the members of the troop
in past years and friends of the

at their regular meeting time on
last Wednesday afternoon in the
Educational Building of the Bap

Mrs. Boney presided at the
meeting with the usual scout ri
tuals, then Frances Stroud read
an original poem (written for
the occasion by Mrs. F. W. Mc
Gowen) after which the girls,
led by Mrs. Amos Brinson, sang
the beautiful hymn "Others".
Following this, Polly Brinson ex
pressed the scouts regrets for
her leaving end also their thanks
by presenting the gift.
After thanking the girls, Mrs.
Boney gave a short report on the
activities of the troop in the past
twenty years, after which she
introduced her mother, Mrs.
Kornegay, her sisters, Miss Mar

of Goldsboro, who were invited
for the occasion. A delightful tea

scouts & their mother following
the tea.
Colorful arrangements of glads,
calendulas and marigolds were
used on the auxiliary tables and
the guest register table. The
scout colors of yellow and green
