An application of Enide SOW in
tobacco row middles after layby
cultivation consistently increases the
degree of weed control, and often an
increase in yield is obtained. This is
currently the only herbicide with
EPA clearance for use in tobacco
production as an after layby
treatment.
There arc 13 On ? The - Farm tests
being conducted this year evaluating
another product as a layby
treatment. It will be reported in the
Tobacco Information for 1977.
During application, no harm is done
if the Enide gets on the lower leaves
of the plants. Better weed control
improves working conditions for
hand harvesters, as well as improves
mechanical harvesting.
Tobacco farmers are experiencing
trouble with Mosaic in the field
already. This early occurrence can
cause a severe yield reduction. The
disease is caused by a highly
contagious virus that spreads by mere
contact. It means that it's a simple
job to spread the disease down the
row as the crop is cultivated. If you
only have a few hills, these plants
should be removed. Growers would
be wise to cultivate when the plants
are completely dry. Early stalk and
root destruction is a vital part of the
control program. Early mosaic can
reduce the performance of a plant by
as much as twenty five percent.
With the cool weather, many
homeowners and vegetable growers
are having trouble with aphids or
plant lice. The green colored ones are
very easy to kill but the dark colored
or black ones are very hard to kill.
Some chemicals that give good
results are diazinon, sold as
Spectracide, Cygon or De Fend or
Malathion for the green type.
Most of the damage is done on the
new growth of the plant. So you
should keep an eye on this foliage.

1 used to think ? and it seems
but a few years ago ? that one of
the finest experiences this world
had to offer was learning to catch
trout on flies.
To be sure, it is a fine thing.
There are so many enjoyable things
to learn: how to cast, how to
identify insects and tie flies, how to
read water, the names of good
streams and all the rest. You know
instinctively that there is more than
enough here to last a lifetime, and
that you can never learn it all.
There is comfort in that because
you also know that being endless, it
will never be boring.
But I have found something that
is just as richly entertaining, and I
recommend it highly. Since last
fall. I have been introducing my
11-year-old son Scott and my seven
year-old daughter Susan to the
same mysteries of trout fishing I
first enjoyed years ago. Watching
them become caught up in the
excitement is perhaps the greatest
thrill of all.
, This past weekend, Scott and
Susan hiked with me into the
remote headwaters of a stream and
we took turns fishing the emerald
potholes. Scott has progressed to
,the point that he is tying his own
flies and making his own casts. He
caught seven or eight little wild
rainbows up to about nine inches.
Susan caught one five-inch rainbow
with a little help from her old man.
Her old man, by the way, caught
only three trout, but I have been
telling everyone who will listen that
this is only because I let them have
first shot at all the best water. It's
possible that someone might/
believe me.
The pleasure of watching your
own children cultivate an apprecia
tion for your own obsession is
pleasurable beyond description. I
would not trade a 20-inch wild
brown caught on 6X leader for the
experience (however, I might trade
it for a 25-inch brown. There are
limits after all).
There is another facet to teach
ing your children to appreciate
fishing, and more important, to
appreciate the wild places that are
left in this world. If our children
learn to fish for trout ? whether it
be with fly or bait ? they will also
grow up with a deep seated desire
to see trout streams preserved in as
natural a state as possible.
Those of us who enjoy trout
fishing have labored hard and long
to be able to leave a legacy of wild
fish and unsullied streams, yet it is
only through our children that we
can insure that these effort? will not
have been in vain. If we teach our
children to fish, then they ? in
turn ? will teach their children to
fish. The legacy will be intact, and
that inheritance will be far more
valuable than anything else we may
someday pass along. Most of us will
never leave our children any appre
ciable amount of money or proper
ty, but perhaps we can leave them a
joyous obsession and a place to
indulee it.

called Harrington to see what he could do because he was not 1
familiar with the officers on duty.
He testified that later that night, he saw Barrington at Franklin '
Teal's residence.
He said Teal was his brother-in-law and a close friend of
Barrington.
"I think he (Barrington) saw fit to come down and talk to us," ,
said Hodgin.
Charles Campbell was called by the petitioners and testified that 1
Miss Hodgin agreed to take the Breathalyzer and he gave the ticket
to Dial.
He said while he was administrating the test, Dial received a
phone call and was gone for about two or three minutes.
"He said Sheriff Barrington had told him not to charge her with
DUI, but to reduce it to careless and reckless," said Campbell.
"He said he was disappointed because the Sheriff had always
preached to him to be forward and honest, and then turn around
and do something like this," said Campbell.
While under cross examination, Campbell, Riley, and Hedgpeth
were asked if they felt Barrington was capable of his duties before
and after August 18, 1974, and each one replied that they thought he
was fully capable and the occurrence had no effect on his duties since
that time.
The defense moved that since the petitioners had the burden of
proving that the occurrence was serious enough to constitute an act
for removal of office, and since they had failed to do so, that the
charges of the petition be dismissed.
Bailey asked if the other petitioners would be called to testify and
if they actually had first hand knowledge of the occurrence.
Grannis said they would not be called and were contending
according to Dial's allegations.
Bailey overruled the motion and said he wanted to hear more
evidence.
"The thing that troubles me about this case is that district
attorneys across the state are reducing DUIs to careless and reckless
everyday," said Bailey.
Barrington was the first witness for the defense and testified that
he was in bed when he received a phone call from David Hodgin Jr.
about 1 A.M. August 18, 1974.
He said Hodgin asked him what he was going to do about it.
He said he asked to speak to the arresting officer and Dial came to
the phone, and told him that no charges had been made and the
Breathalyzer had not been administrated.
"I asked him if there was any way he could see clear to change the
charges, I would appreciate it and if he couldn't, there would be no
hard feelings," said Barrington.
Barrington said Dial replied, "No sweat, I'll take care of the
charges".
He said he later went to Franklin Teal's house to tell him about
the situation because he thought Miss Hodgin would need money for
the bond.
He said while he was there, Claudine and David Hodgin and the
others in the car came to Teal's house.
"Claudine Hodgin was very much under the influence. I knew
then that 1 had made a poor judgment," said Barrington.
Barrington said he received no benefits from the act.
"It was the first time the Hodgins had ever asked for assistance,"
he added.
Barrington said he talked to Dial the following Monday and
apologized about the occurrence and told him it was the first and last
time he would ever interfere with the duty of his deputies.
He said he called a staff meeting and told them all the same thing.
The defense called former solicitors Doran Berry and Jack
Thompson who both testified that they had known Barrington both
professionally and personally for many years and did not know of a
more dedicated and loyal law enforcement officer in the state.
Both testified they felt the occurrence did not effect Barrington's
duties as an officer.
Bailey pointed out that Barrington had been in law enforcement
for 18 years and in those 18 years had only a single act of poor
judgment.
"I wish I had that sort of record," he said.
He said the statute which the petition was filed under should be
handled with care.
"It is not for punishment, but for the protection of the public."
He said a misuse of the statute would be an abuse of power and
would keep officers in the courts constantly.
"That would not protect, but damage the public," he said.
He said he thought the petition stemmed from bad feelings from
Dial.
"There's not a beginning for a call for removal of office," he said
of the evidence.
He then taxed the costs of court to the petitioner.
"I'm gratified," said Barrington following the hearing.
Bailey said the costs of court would probably be about $50. He
said the attorney fees for the hearing would be approximately
51,000, which will be paid for by the county, according to the
statute.
He again said the statute should be handled with care and offered
the alternative of having a matter heard by the local board of
governors, such as the county commissioners or city council, and
have their request, along vyith the county attorney and district
attorney, to be mandatory before it reached the court.
