The Water and Air Quality Control
Committee will hold a public hearing
for the purpose of considering
up-grading of classifications of certain
waters in the Lower Cape Fear River
Basin. It includes the Lumber, Neuse
and White Oak River Basins. The
hearing will be held in the city hall
auditorium, Clinton City Hall, 300
Block, Lisbon Street, Clinton, at 10
ajn. April 10.
All persons interested in this matter
are invited to attend. Persons desiring to
be heard should give notice in writing to
the board on or before the date of the

Lumber River and streams that flow

Although we have made considerable
progress in the last few years in reducing
pesticides residues on tobacco, there are
still some areas for concern. The major
residue concerns at the present are those
of toxaphene and endrin. Neither are
registered for use on tobacco by the N.
C. Department of Agriculture. The sale
or use of either of these materials on
tobacco is illegal and violators are
subject to severe penalties and fines. In
1973 toxaphene residues of 1 ppm or
more were found in samples on 56
percent of the farms in the Border Belt.
Twenty-seven percent of the samples
from all flue-cured belts in North
Carolina contained toxaphene residues
of I ppm or more. Tobacco growers
should be careful with the use of
pesticides. Fields should also be located
away from cotton fields, if possible.
Tobacco plant beds should be
checked closely for insect damage. The
cool nights have been ideal for cut
worms on the beds. Reports from some

growers have been thai a build-up has
occurred. Control of worms can be had
by use of a bait made from 5 percent
Dylox. Bait should be scattered evenly
around margins of beds, in walkways
and open spaces. The bait should be
kept off plants to avoid injury.
Boar Sale: On April 3 there will be 63
Performance Tested Boars offered for
sale at Smithfleld at the N. C. Tested
Boar Sale. The offering includes 25
Durocs, 21 Hamps, 15 Yorks; 2 Chesters
and 1 Spot. Of this group 45 boars
gained 2 lbs. or more per day, 35 boars
had feed efficiencies of 2.7 or less and
adjusted backfats of .9 inch or less.
These pigs represented the pick of the
crop at home, more than met the
station performance criteria and passed
the soundness committee.
At the last performance tested sale,
34 of the 55 board offering sold for
S300 or less and the average of the sale
was only S353. So study your
performance data and check these boars
for the type and quality you demand in
your breeding herd. There just might be
a place in your herd for a performance
tested boar of this calibre. You might
decide that you cannot afford to miss
this Performance Tested Boar Sale on
April 3.
Swine Records: Without good records
it is next to impossible to project
income, expenses workload or needs for
management changes with any degree of
accuracy. Accurate records can play a
major role in improving your overall
swine production and profits. They are
useful in compaiing your results with
accepted standards. They also help pin
point performance of individual
breeding animals. Some useful easy to
keep records for swine producers are:
breeding records - that show date sow
bred and boar used - help check
reproductive efficiency and alert hog
producers when to start preparing sow
for farrowing; litter records - that show
number of pigs farrowed and weaned,
birth weights and weaning weights are
helpful in selecting replacement gilts;
rate of gain records - that show pig
growth rate from birth to be
summarized when the pig is marketed -
they are also useful in selection of
breeding stock; feed records - that help
in evaluating animals' feed - converting
ability, in pin pointing feed cost per 100
pound gain and in figuring profit over
feed cost.

Reducing food bills is just one good
reason for having a home garden,
according to your local soil and water
conservationist.
Many young people, and adults too,
have never had the satisfying
educational experience of cultivating
the soil.
Children are pretty sick these days of
being told that they are living in a pre -
packaged, quick frozen world -- even if
it is true. A small garden can teach a lot
about soil - plant relationships, soil and
water conservation, and an appreciation
for the productiveness of the earth. This
is good enough reason for having a
home garden.
When you put in your garden, don't
forget the need for soil and water
conservation. Contact my office, and 1
will provide you with two little leaflets
that will give you some good suggestions
on home - garden conservation. If you
have questions on garden pests,
varieties, or diseases, you should contact
your University Extension Service
office.
