Good management results in healthy transplants which have more tolerance to insects, diseases, and the shock of transplanting. Good management also improve the transplants' uniformity, which is an asset in the field. A uniform crop makes topping and chemical sucker control easier and less time consuming. It should be remembered that the fungicide Ridomil gives no protection for anthracnose. lhe disease first appears as pin point spots on the underside of the leaf. Diseased spots later dry out and become papery, gray white, and surrounded bv a raised water soaked border. Three applications should be made with fungicide containing Maneb, Metiram or Zineb. The first treatment should be applied when the plants are near the size of a dime. The second 2 to 3 weeks later and third, near the time of transplanting. Kate of formulations per 50 gallons of water are as follows:. Maneb Vi lb. Metiram l-Vj lb. or Zineb l-Vj lb. Ridomil can be used for full season field control of blue mold at the rale of I to 2 quarts per acre. The chemical is applied preplan! broadcast followed by incorpora tion to a depth of 2 to 3 inches by discing and bedding.

Mrs. Pagan pointed out that it's against state school rules for teachers to ask for donations for their students, but it's all right for a class to accept donations.

Mrs. Pagan's regular assistants with the students are Mrs. Betty Freeman and Andy Suggs. Vets Ask Q--What is Veterans Admini stration domiciliary care? A--This program offers shelter and sustenance on an ambulatory, self-care basis for eligible disabled veterans who do not need hospitali zation. nor the skilled nursing services provided in nursing homes. To make application, contact your nearest VA office. Q--I see ads for veterans life insurance on TV. Can you explain this program? A--Such insurance is offered by private insurance companies and has absolutely nothing to do with the VA or the U.S. government.

A--No. Educational assistance cannot be provided by the Veterans Administration for training leading to a private pilot's license. A veteran must possess a private pilot's license before entering a commercial flying program for which VA educational assistance can be provided.

[Stall plioio. | LAW For Laypersons Dim Your Lights North Carolina.General Statues ? 20-131 provides that the headlights of your car should pro duce a light sufficient to render clearly discernable a person 200 feet ahead. If you meet another car on the highway, however, your lights must not cause a glaring or dazzling light to persons within a distance of 500 feet of your headlights. These two provisions certainly conflict with each other. Your headlights must be able to show up a person clearly at 200 feet but still not cause a glaring or dazzling light to anyone within 500 feet. Forturnately you probably comply with law because your car is equip ped with high-beam and low-beam lights. To comply with the law, your high-beam lights should produce the light sufficient to render clearly discernable a person within 200 feet. Your low-beam lights, then, should not cause a glaring or dazzl ing light to anyone person within 500 feet in front of your car. While you are driving, you should have your high-beam lights on so that you can clearly see objects at least 200 feet ahead of you. Upon meeting another vehicle, vou should naturally put on your low beam lights until it has passed and then return again to the use of your high-beam lights. Certainly, you have been driving on the highway when someone did not dim his lights for you, and you had to suffer the glaring, dazzling light while trying to maintain your course on the road. Failure to dim lights upon the approach of another car is a serious matter because it might cause an accident. General Statutes ? 20-181 pro vides for a fine of ten dollars or imprisonment for not more than ten days if a person fails to dim his headlights whenever another vehi cle is met on the highway or when following another vehicle at a distance of less than 200 feet. An exception to ? 20-181 is when you are engaged in the act of over IMMEDIATE CASH HIGHEST PRICES PAID o for ^/Vr GOLD and SILVER ?<" ^ (ln Any Condition) Monday - Tuesday ?
