'each Producers I The below-freezing temperatures during the week of April 5-10 caused severe damage to our fruit trees in the are-. Most people feel ve. as a state, still have 25% of a teach crop. Some suggestions on J what to do with what's left: ..Continue spraying if you feel you have even a slight crop. The petal fall spray is most important to J keep fruit worms under control. Fa ...Remove unwanted root suck Ws and water sprouts as they appear. ...Don't prune unless you are sure the crop is lost. Some growers are using this opportunity to lower trees. Other estimates for N.C. fruit industry: 50-60% damage for apples 75-90% damage for peaches '30-70% damage for strawberries 20-40% damage for blueberries Little-no damage for grapes ?Smali Grain Information j Have you noticed any problems [in your grain fields? I have run jacross a few and would like to bring |them to your attention. First, some [growers are having nutritional pro ^L'ms, specifically deficiencies of |manganese and cooper. Next, powdery mildew has popped up in a few fields as expected with the amount of rain fall we've had thus far this year. Powdery mildew will appear first on <he lower leaves of the plant causing them to turn yellow and Kie. If the disease stays on the lower alf of the plant, damage will be Animal (10-15% yield loss). How ?ver, if the powdery mildew infects ?the flag leaves or gets on the heads ?of the wheat, you can expect a ?40-50% yield loss. At the present ?time "resistant varieties" are the Ibest way to control this disease. Roy, McNair 1003, and Coker 747 ire susceptible to powdery mildew, lowever, they have better re istance to the cold weather we've >een having. Coker 762 and Coker ^7 are more resistant to powdery nildew. but have problems coping vith these late cold weather snaps, ?l Here is no such thing as a perfect wariety, but you can select one that Kuits some of your conditions best. WMnally, high planting rates (3 lushels or more per acre), instead f the 1.5-2.0 bu/acre recom fmended rate, will increase chances f powdery mildew. Generally, the ~:jldew will subside as the weather Irms up and conditions become ?dryer. I The third problem, which you Biave if you grow any grain in Hoke ?County, is the cold weather and ?wind damage. The later or further nlong in maturity, the worse the ?damage will be. Some symptoms of ?he cold weather include: The nlants will begin to show color Krhanges, dark brown to black on ?he lower stems. The leaves will How a burning effect similar to Farm Focus by Richard Melton Extension Livestock Agent Banks Wannamaker Extension Field Crops Agent nitrogen burn. And lastly, the plants will begin to lodge or fall down and begin to die. Basically what has happened is ice crystals have formed inside the plant and damaged it. Small grains have an incredible bounce - back capability so don't give up hope. The wheat get temperatures below 40?F., which would affect pollination and seed formation. If this occurs, oats and barley will be hurt more than wheat or rye. * * ? DATE TO REMEMBER: ...

Hoke Agricultural Extension News by Willie Featherstone. Jr.. Agricultural Extension Agent Spring Can Bring Wildlife Pro blems Along with spring's re awakening of nature there often occur some problems created by wildlife species. These are pro blems which should be expected with normal wildlife populations, and which can usually be minimiz ed or prevented with proper action by those citizens affected. The most common problems at this time of year are damage to gardens by rabbits, damage to tree seedlings and crops such as soy beans by deer, damage to sprouting corn by crows and blackbirds, and woodpecker damage to buildings. The damage to trees, gardens, and crops occurs primarily because young plants provide choice green forage for wildlife species. Woodpecker problems appear to be related to mating activities, next building, or territorial displays. Rabbit damage to gardens can best be prevented by fencing to keep the animals out of the garden. There are also several chemical repellents on the market which are approved for use on vegetables. If any of these products are used, be sure to follow the label recommen dations. Deer damage, in the long run, can best be prevented by proper harvest of deer through legal hun ting each year. Seasons are set by the N.C. Wildlife resources Com mission and are designed to allow sufficient hunting to keep the deer population at a healthy level where serious problems will not occur. For this to work well, however, it is important that landowners per mit hunting on their property. Deer populations usually build rapidly to problem levels if a suffi cient number are not harvested each year and severe damage pro blems can result. Even with normal deer populations, some feeding on young tender growth is to be ex pected, and most crops can recover from light damage. Preventive measures for deer damage include electric fencing, scare devices which make loud noises, and chemical repellants. The success of these measures depends usually on the diligence of their application and how hungry the deer are. In some cases the only remedy is shooting, which can be done legally wi^h proper germis Mission Slated Raeford Evangelical Methodist Church will hold an Abundant Life Mission Friday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. A covered-dish supper will be held Friday, starting at 6:30 p.m.. in the Fellowship Hall, and services will be held at 7:30 p.m. At each service an out - of - town guest will share the guest's witness of what Jesus Christ has done and is doing in the guest's life. The Mission in a 48 - hour weekend of fellowship, sharing, worship, and drawing closer to gether in Christ. sion from the Wildlife Resources Commission. For problems involving birds, scare devices are usually the most effective, although in some situa tions chemicals can be used. Per sistent woodpecker problems may require specific advice from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. If you have wildlife damage pro blems, there are several places you can go for information and advice. The Agricultural Extension Service has Teletips on certain animal damage problems and you can dial these on a toll-free line. Call your local County Extension office for information on Teletip. You can also contact representatives of the Wildlife Commission or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Early attention to jvildlife damage problems can often prevent more serious problems and some times needless destruction of wild life. Special Children's Forms Deadline Forms referring exceptional children to the service they need should be completed and returned to the principals of the children's schools by Friday, May 7, Mrs. Rhenda Cameron, coordiantor of special children's programs in the Hoke County school system, said this week. The services are for mentally handicapped, learning-disabled, gifted and talented, hearing impaired, speech-and language impaired, and emotionally han dicapped. Mrs. Cameron said, "Each spr ing, the exceptional-children's pro grams within the Hoke County schools makes an assertive effort to identify children in need of special services. "An initial referral for these ser vices is necessary prior to beginn ing an appropriate evaluation. "Parents, teachers, other pro fessional education people, and support people from various com munity agencies may refer children to any of the (six) special services." Mrs. Cameron said the ap propriate referral form may be ob tained from the principal of the school in which the child is enroll ed. The May 7 deadline for return ing referrals to the principals was set because extensive testing must be done. More information may be ob tained from the principal of the child's school or from Mrs. Cameron at the County Board of Education office, telephone 375-4106.
