Commended students rank just
below the 15,000 Semifinalists
announced in September by
the National Merit Scholarship
Corporation. (NMSC).
Edward C. Smith," president
of NMSC, said: "Although
Commended students advance
no further in the Merit
Scholarship competition, their
standing in this nationwide
program deserves public
recognition. Their high
performance on the NMSQT
gives promise of continued
success in college.
The Commended students'
names are reported to certain
scholarship - granting agencies
and to the colleges they named
as their first and second
choices when they took the
NMSQT in February 1971.
NMSC encourages these
students to make every effort
' to continue their education.

Garden Time
Growing House Plants
Good Winter Gardening
By M. E. GARDNER
N. C. State University
This Is the first In a
series of articles on house
plants so you may wish to
s ave It. Others to follow will
be concerned with fertiliza
tion, containers, watering,
light, temperature, and
hinds of plants best suited
for different environments.
Growing potted plants Is
one of the most popular In
door pastimes. There Is
such a wide variety of
choices to add color and
beauty during the winter
months. In addition, the
growing of plants In the home
helps satisfy the gardening
urge for those who oannot
have outdoor gardens and for
those who wish to continue
their horticultural activities
during the winter. In many
homes, plants are consid
ered to be an Important part
of Interior decoration.
The artlflolal conditions
under which house plants are
grown are sure to present
some problems. However,
the selection of the' proper
types for a particular en
vironment and a thorough
understanding of their cul
tural requirements will
simplify problems and In
sure a greater degree of
success.
Since plants obtain
water, nutrients and air (for
the roots) from the soil, the
proper soil mixture Is of
utmost Importance. Most
flowering plants will thrive
In a mixture such as this one:
three parts of a good garden
loam; two parts of organic
matter (peat moss, well de
composed compost, rotted
manure, or leaf mold); and
one part of coarse sand.
All of these materials are
measured by volume.
If your garden loam Is
heavy or olay-llke, I would
suggest Increasing the pro
portion of sand. If the garden
loam Is light and sandy, the
s and may be omitted.
Add bone meal, or 20per
oent superphosphate, to the
soli mixture at the rate of
one measuring oupfull per
bushel of the mixture.
the above mixture Is
best for flowering plants as
1 suggested. For foliage
plants 1 would suggest that
you use three parts of good
garden soli and three parts
of organic matter (SO-SO).
Sand would be added depend
ing upon the oharaoter of
your garden soil ? whether
light or heavy. ' For the
foliage plants, I would
recommend peat moss as
thf souroe of organlo matter
beoause the other sources
might be too rloh In nutrients
for best performance.

from more than 5.000 schools
nationwide. Among students
requesting Achievement
Program consideration, the
Semifinalists were the lushest
scorers in their geographic
regions on the National Merit
Scholarship Qualifying Test
(NMSQT) administered last
February.
Semifinalists who advance to
Finalist standing are considered
for Achievement Scholarships.
Semifinalists become Finalists
by receiving the endorsement
of their schools, taking a
second examination, and
meeting other standard
requirements.
Every Semifinalist who
becomes a Finalist will be
considered for one of the.
National Achievement S1000
Scholarships as well as for the
four ? year Achievement
Scholarships provided by
sponsors. ?
Cows, Hogs
Help Save
Down Corn
Com blown over and
thoroughly soaked by recent
high winds and heavy rains
Isn't regarded as a complete
loss. Much of It can be
salvaged.
Getting the com out of
the field and dried as quickly
as possible Is one rec
ommendation. The other la
to use livestock to harvest
the downed grain. In both
cases, the time element Is
Important.
These are observations
by North Carolina State Uni
versity grain and llvestook
specialists.
Conventional dryers with
perforated metal floors and
supplemental heat or batch
dryers can be used to dry
harvested corn. If no drying
faollltles are available, the
grain can be spread on a dry
floor to a depth of not more
than six Inches and stirred
often enough to prevent
heating.
A. D. Stuart, extension
corn specialist, said bar
corn can be dried Just as
shelled com. Hopefully, the
ears will dry sufficiently In
the field to allow, harvesting
before mold sets In.
NCSU specialists are
suggesting to farmers that
market hogs and mature or
near-mature cattle are best
to use If the grain oan't be
gotten out of the field.
A. V. Allen, apecUllst
In charge of extension animal
husbandry, said there was
some danger that molds may
develop on the fallen corn.
"1 doubt If the threat of
toxic molds Is very great,
however," he added.
Allen said he would use
cows rather than young
animals. "The older an
imals can handle It better.
I wouldn't put lightweight
calves In these fields." He
pointed out that growers with
substantial amounts of fallen
corn, but no oow herd, might
want to consider buying 700
to 800-pound steers to go
on the fields.
Dr. J. R. Jones said he
wouldn't hesitate to run hots
Into fields where corn his
been blown over. "I think
It yvould stay down a good
while before It starts to
mold," he said.
"But 1 would use market
hogs or sows with pig litters.
I wouldn't recommend put
ting bred animals ln.thess
fields." The specialist added
that the fields should be
stocked heavily enough tc
clean them up In "a rea
sonable length of time."
Dr. Jones believes the
Ideal alts market animal to
glean the grain field would
be those of about 110pounds.
Plastic Cover Reduces
Wood Decay in Houses
The potentially coetly
problem of rotting )olet,
sills and subfloorlng can be
avoided In many of today's
low-built hqmes by covering
the ground In the orawl space,
with plastic.
The plastic can substan
tially reduce the moisture
content In the wood Joists,
slUs and subfloorlng, re
search at North Carolina
State University has shown.
By reducing the mois
ture, Jfha chances are re
duced that fungi will develop
tnd the wood will decay.
The NC8U research used
two single-story, air condi
tioned brick veneer homes to
test the ground oover Idea.
One house had a orawl space
of two tb three feet The
other had a orawl space of
three to tour feet. Vents
around the house were
partially blocked by shrub
bery. typloal of many hooMe
today.
Moisture levels ranged
from about 14 to 20 percent
when no ground oorer was
used. The level dropped to
10 percent or less after
the {round wae covered with
plutlc.
Rolled roofing or other
typee of moisture barriers
would probably work Juat
aa well aa the plaatlc. Also,
It may not be necessary to
cover the entire ground area
beneath the house. Some
?tudlea Indicate that only
about 70 peroent of the
ground must be oovered for
the barrier to be effective.
CROSSBRED8 BEST
North Carolina's big and

Industry la built on the use
of oroesbreedlng programs
to realise the benefits of
hybrid vigor In the animals
produoed. Many of the
oomgaerolal herds in the
state utilise a three-way
oroea, breeding crossbred
females to a purebred boar.
This Is
The Law
Whit is i temncy at will?
A tenancy at will ii one that
may be terminated at the will
of either party and which hat
no other designated period of
time.
A tenancy at will may arise
by express language of the
contract, but it more often
arises by implication of law.
Thus, when leased property is
sold at a sheriffs sale under a
lien that antedates the lease,
the tenant holds under the
purchaser as a tenant at will.
Also, an oral lease for more
than three years is at its
inception a tenancy at will .
under the law of North
Carolina.

Adams by will left a house
and lot to Bruton for his
lifetime. Upon Bruton's death,
the property was to go to
Collins. Bruton leased the
house and lot to Davis for five
years under the lerms of a
written lease, which was
properly registered in the court
house. Bruton died two years
after the execution of the
lease. May Collins require Davis
to immediately vacate the
premises?
Yes. Bruton could not create
a lease to continue beyond his
lifetime.
But if the property left to
Bruton for his lifetime had
been a farm, Davis could have
remained on the farm for the
balance of the current year,
paying to Collins a
proportionate part of the
year's rent becoming due after
Bruton's death. This is by
virtue of a special statute in
North Carolina.
* ? ?
Evans leased to Franklin for
ten years a very valuable
building at a low rental value.
The written lease was
immediately registered in the
office of the Register of Deeds.
Subsequently the same day.
Franklin sold and conveyed the
property to Cardner wl\o at
the time knew nothing of the
prior lease to Franklin. What is
the legal effect of the sale upon
the lease of Franklin?
Franklin pays the rent to
Gardner, the new owner of the
land, at the price he agreed to
pay Evans.

"Do I need to bring a
statement from my doctor
when I file for disability
benefits front Social Security?"
No, you don't! However, if
you have a letter from your
doctor that you want to have
included in your file, you may
present it. and we shall include
it in your records. This applies
to any evidence of your
disability that you think might
help your case As an example,
it your last employer wants lo
give you a statement about
your disability relating to the
ettect it had on your job
performance, this would be
fine.
The Social Security law
stales ihat the disability that
one has must be- a medically
determinable one. Thus, we do
need medical evidence
concerning the severity of your
condition-. Your next question
nught well be, "Since I don't
from 10 PTide- a s""ement
trom my doctor about my
disability how do you prove
I m disabled?"
When you are interviewed at
the time you file your claim
lor disability benefits, the
person who talks to you will
bst your medical sources.
These would be the doctors
who have treated you and the
hospitals you have been in
plus any records of your'
disability from non ? medical
sources such as the Department
ot Social Services. the
Vocational Rehabilitation
Agency and the lrke.
Your doctor does not say
that you qualify as disabled
under Social Security! All he
does is to give hii clinical
findings ? the results of tests he
has made required by your
condition. If it j, fei, that
additional medical evidence is
required, the Social Security
Administration will pay for an
examination by a specialist in
the field of medicine that
covers your type of disabling
condition.
