Tax Forms Hot Line Working Well The new tax forms "hotline" telephone number the Internal Revenue Service installed in early January is working quite well, according to Robert A. LeBaube, IRS district director in North Carolina. "The new toll-free number has been very busy." LeBaube said. "It is proving to be a worthwhile service in terms of convenience and savings to the taxpayer needing extra forms." It works this way: if you need a form not included in the tax package received in the mail, or a particular publication, you can dial your area access code (1 or 2) plus 800-241-3860. An assistor will take ? your order and have it shipped out as soon as possible. LeBaube added that the IRS toll-free number listed in the telephone book is not a number for forms, but for taxpayers' questions regarding their returns. "You can receive forms much faster by using the forms number," he emphasiz ed. ii TEL: 8754277 NIGHT CALL 875-4419 FARM CHEMICAL, INC.

Housing Tips by Willie Featherstone, Jr. Ass't Agricultural Extension Agent WINTER PROTECTION FOR PLANTS -- During the winter months it is necessary to offer, protection to certain North Caro lina landscape plants. Winter pro tection does not mean keeping plants warm, as this is vitually impossible, but providing protec tion from damaging wind, heavy snow and ice, and alternate freez ing and thawing of the soil beneath the plants, and heat from the sun on very cold days. Protection should be offered to evergreen plants by reducing water loss. Plants transpire water through their leaves. Evergreens continue to lose water during the winter; New Voices Join Choral Group With the addition of new voices to those of singers who participated in its Christmas Concert and those of past members, the Moore County Choral Society's first re hearsal on January 23 gave promise of an 80-voice chorus for its May 13 performance of Brahms "A Ger man Requiem." Dr. Armand Kitto, musical di rector, noted that the group was not adequately balanced for this great work havrng- addeth strength especially in the alto, tenor and bass sections. The emphasis in the group is on "Choral Society", with out-of county members joining residents of Southern Pines, Whispering Pines, Pinehurst, Aberdeen, Carth age, Pinebluff, Vass and Cameron. Although there are those with formal vocal training, the group is made up primarily of those with some choral experience who sing because they enjoy working with others to present fine music to the community. Membership in the Society for the Brahms work was open until the third rehearsal. Tuesday, 7:30 p.m. at Brownson Memorial Presbyterian Church. Those interested should contact Dr. Kitto at 692-6722 or 692-6252. therefore, moisture must be taken up by the plants' roots. Homeowners are more conscious of watering shrubs during the summer months, and often this garden chore is neglected during cold weather. The roots will absorb moisture when it is available, but when the ground is frozen, or during a dry period, the moisture is not available. The plants continue to transpire water but at this time draw moisture from living cells. If too much is given off from this source the cell dies. Consequently, leaves brown out and die. High winds and a warm sun on cold days result in a higher rate of water transpiration. Protection could be offered by planting sus ceptible plants in a sheltered location and providing additional water during dry periods or prior to expected hard freezes. Foundation plantings are often injured by ice and snow falling from the roof on their frozen branches. It is sometimes necessary to construct a temporary shelter for shrubs in a precarious situation. Wide tape or cloth can simply be wrapped around an evergreen to prevent broken branches. This is quite helpful to boxwoods and arborvitaes. If branches are bent and broken by heavy ice or snow, it is advisable to wait a few days before pruning and cleaning up. Often branches will recover to a degree of satisfaction on their own so don't be hasty to prune drooping limbs. An additional layer of mulch tar usually recommended during win ter months after the first freeze. Mulches will reduce water loss from the soil as the soil freezes and thaws.
