None of the 5 surviving pa tients are covered by any kind of hospitalization or medical care policies. Funds from National Foundation Headquarters for pa tient aid to local chapters have been exhausted because of the wide-spread 1959 polio epidemic, therefore, the Duplin County Chapter has received only $200.00 from headquarters. $200.00 of co unty chapter funds from the 1959 March' of Dimes, was spent for salk Vaccine for ages 7-19 admin istered through our County Hea lth Department. Th County Crippled Children's Funds under the leadership of Alvin Grady, of Wallace, has con tributed $200.00 to our County Health Department for salk vac cine for the 7-19 age group. The County Crippled Child ren's Fund has also purchased braces and paid for brace repairs for patients who had polio prior to 1959 in an effort to help the sudden drain on our county cha pter treasury caused by the 1959 epidemic. In spite of this assistance from the Crippled Children's Fund bills are mounting. County Chap ter funds are being used now to pay for required special nursing Tobacco Stalks tll ropping had been removed from the tobacco stalks. - With this increase in nematode population, it means that the ef fects of the nematodes will be felt not only next growing sea son, but also years thereafter. Cost to fumigate tobacco land for nematode control before to bacco transplanting is about $15 per acre. There is a feeling that fumigation for nematodes is all that is needed, but it not only takes fumigation to control ne- madodes, but also cutting of to bacco stalks, plowing out stub bles and then planting the land in a good cover crop of fescue or oats or weeds. Nematode control is a very im portant factor In the production of quality tobacco and all met hods which can be used to con trol them should be put into ef fect every year. This Is tobacco marketing sea son and fanners say taey do not have the time necessary to cut tobacco stalks and plow out the stubble, but this is as important as marketing of the leaf because it is from the land that the crop is produced.
