School Chorus Sings For Senior Citizens The Turlington School Chorus, directed by Jane Davis, singing at the senior citizens ' luncheon May 4. [ Staff photo |. Hoke ASCS Testing and analysis of the 1981 flue-cured tobacco crop showed about a 20 percent decrease in maleic hydrazide (MH) residue levels from the levels found in the 1980 crop, according to Everett Rank, administrator of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agri cultural Stabilization and Con versation Service. "This is very encouraging, but we feel levels can be reduced further and testing and analysis will continue for the 1982 crop." he said. Maleic hvdrazide is a chemical used to retard the growth of tobacco "suckers" which otherwise have to be removed by hand from the plant at considerable cost of the producer. "Suckers" are shoots that grow from the stem, sapping the plant's strength and slowing its growth. The United States has no tole rance levels for MH residue but some importing countries have expressed concern about the levels detected in U.S. flue-cured to bacco. "It is imperative to bring these levels down further and maintain our U.S. tobacco export WAGON WHEEL RESTAURANT THURSDAY ft FRIDAY SHRIMP BASKET (about 20 shrimp) with FF.

Science and Education Adminis tration. and Agricultural Market ing Service will take part, along with schools of agriculture at land grant universities. "The tobacco industry, which has great interest in seeing MH levels reduced, will provide the funds necessarv to conduct the chemical testing for MH residue on the 1982 crop." Rank said. He said test results will continue to be evaluated to determine whether tobacco program eligibility requirements should be modified to take into consideration the im proper use of MH.
