: Thirteen Home Demonstration
Oubs met in Hoke County in
February. 1©5 women attended
the /meetings, which were . on.
“Take Time to be a Good Citizen”.
The club women participated in
the discussion and contributed
their ideas on the needs of these
various communities. Our respon
sibilities as citizens to the home,
the school, the church, the com-
mimity, the county as well as na
tionally and inter-nationally were
among the things discussed. The
community needs listed were as
follows: more rural telephones,
better roads, community buildings
in some sections which do not
have community meeting places,
recreation for young praple, bet
ter sanitary facilities, lunch rooms
in all schools in the county, bet
ter school libraries and in some
communities the women' decided
that the people in their section
of the county might be more
neighborly. A questionaire on
“iHow Good a Citizen Are You”
was given to each club member
and hetse questions answered
and discussed. Such terms as to
talitarian, communism, democra
cy, absolutism, socialists, dema
gogue and others Were defined.
Plans were made at several of the
February club meetings to have
commimity meetings on citizen
ship. At these an outside speaker
would lead the discussion. In some
communities the group planned to
serve supper before the meetings.

Growers Urged To
Obtain Blue Mold
Material Now
Tobacco growers who have not
already done so should make ar
rangements at once to obtain ma
terials and equipment needed for
blue mold conrtol in the plant
bed, says Howard R. Garriss,
plant pathologist for the State
College Extension Service.
“The blue mold fungus,” says
Garriss, “is known to carry over
from one year to the next in old
plant bed sites where the disease
occurred the previous year. To
what extent the disease would
carry over during a mild winter
in North Carolina cannot be an
swered at present. However,
growers having plant beds this
year in old plant bed sites where
blue, mold occurred last year
should keep a sharp lookout for
early attacks of the disease.”
The pathologist adds that blue
mold control is an investment
and should be followed as a means
of reducing the cost of production.
He recommended that growers
obtain a full supply of dust or
spray material now and use it as
a preventative rather than as a
cure. ■■ ..
According to ,6aJTiss» there are
three trade-name materials re
commended ^for controlling the
disease int North Carolina. They
are Fermate, Harbam (Black-,
and Dithane Z-7«. Any of these
will give excellent control when
properly used. They may be used
either as a dust or a spray. For
spray treatments, use the fuU-
strength material. For dust treat
ments use 15 per cent Fermate or
Karbam (Black) dust or 10 per
cent Dithane Z-78 dust. Ready-
mixed dusts are available for dust
treatments.
For spraying,^use two pounds
of either Fermate or Karbam
(Black),.or 1 1-2 pounds of Di
thane Z-78 for, each 100 square
yards of plant bed. For dusting,
use 20 to 25 pounds of either re
commended dust per 100 -square
yards.
Detailed information on blue
mold control may be _ obtained
from the local county agent -or
the Extension, plant pathologist.
