Farm Items
By
Hoke County
Agricultural Extension Agents
State law specifies that no sales
tax be levied on fertilizer, seed, or
commercial feeding stuff, with the
exception of pet food. These pro
ducts are exempted because a tax
of 25 cents a ton is charged to
manufacturers to cover the ex
penses of state inspections. In
stores most computer cash registers
automatically add in tax, but it is
the responsiblity of the manage
ment to see that the tax charges are
refunded to the purchaser at the
time of purchase. Any problems
should be reported to the North
Carolina Department of Agricul
ture in Raleigh.
Here are a few things you should
be thinking about around your
home: Anthracnose on blooms of
dogwoods will be showing up and
now is the time to spray with a
fungicide; camellia flower and
petal blight will occur now es
pecially during rainy, cool con
ditions. The disease control pro
gram for black spot and powdery
mildew in roses must be started,
apple trees, peach trees, plum and
cherry trees should be sprayed at
the bloom stage. Most of these
diseases show up on the fruit to be
harvested in the fall, but about all
of the infection occurs at bloom of
the plant.
Three Hoke County 4-H mem
bers will be showing three steers in
early April at the Area Fat Stock
Show and Sale in Fayetteville, N.C.
These youngsters placed the ani
mals on feed last October and have
been training them since that time.
They learn to keep records on
growth of the animals, feed con
version and many other points.
Then the animals are shown and
then marketed.
Businesses in the Fayetteville
area usually help with some of the
prize money by purchasing some of
the calves during the sale. Anyone
in Hoke County that would like to
support these young people by the
purchases of an animal should
contact the county extension
service.

VOLUNTEERING? Ft. Bragg medical personnel volunteered their time
Wednesday to give physical examinations to the children participating in
the Special Olympics. Pictured is Pfc. Lynn Swinderman putting at ease
Donna Rogowski about the blood pressure check.
GETTING CHECKED?James McPhaul is just a little apprehensive about
the strange looking wrap being attached to his arm by Pfc. Danny Bishop
until he finds out "it doesn't hurt". About 200 children were checked by
volunteers from the 28th Combat Support Hospital, the 5th Combat
Support Hospital, and Womack Army Hospital Wednesday in preparation
for the Special Olympics.
