C. j Farmers $100 (Weeds may be flowers in dis guise to the poet, but to North Caro lina farmers they are costly pests. for the first time, an estimate is ivailable on just how costly. V D. Worsham, extension agrono my specialist at North Carolina itate College, has compiled figures which show that weeds are costing Tar Heel farmers at least $100 mil lion annually. This is equal to about 13 per cent of the gross Income North Carolina farmers expect from their crops in 1903. For same crops, however, such as cotton, the percentage is much higher. 'Worsham estimates that weeds cost North Carolina cotton growers over $34 million in 1962. This is nearly one-half the gross farm in come expected from cotton. Hers are some of the estimated tosses cotton farmers suffered this year: loss in yield, $10.3 million: Ultra boeings and cultivations, $.7 million; loss in quality, $1.$ million; cost of herbicides. $337,500; loss in land value, $290,000; extra cost o' Insecticide program, $204,000 and Increased cost of harvesting, $75, W0. ? la addition. Worth am estimates hat Ave per cent of the cotton Planted In North Carolina each year valued at $2.7 million, is:a bandone because of weeds. Worshajo gathered the figures with the help of many crop specia lists at the college for use in a re port to the Southern Weed Confer ence in Mobile. His figures are considered mini mum losses, because some esti mates, such as losses dpe to the reduced quality of some crops, were impossible to obtain. Also, estima tes were not obtained on some of the smaller crops grown in North Carolina. 'Here is a crop-by-crop breakdown On the losaes: com, $13.4 million cotton. 24.1 million; soybeans, $4.5 million; peanuts, $8.2 million; grain sorghum, $495,000; small grain, $1J million; pastures and hay crops, $18.4 million; tobacco, $10 million; vegetables, $21.1 million; and or namentals, $4.5 million. Worsham points out that weeds are a far greater drain on the eco nomy of North Carolina than tlie $100 million loss suffered by farm ers. The highway department, elec tric power companies, industrial plants, railroads and Individual homeowners spend an additional million fighting weeds. "And if you would add the doc tors' bills which result from poi son ivy and ragweeds, the figure would really be astronomical." Wor sham added. State Agriculture Commissioner L. Y. Ballentine has often said that an intensified effort to reduce weeds would ,>e one of the most profitable inp/rstnfcsnts North Car olina could make. Worsham Relieves that the long range outlook for reducing weeds and weed losses is good, as more and better hdjbicides become avail able The U. S. Ejapartment of Agricul ture estimate That total weed loss es in the United States amount to $3.8 billion annually. Only soil ero sion does greater farm damage USDA says. This Is The Law By Robert E. Lee (For the N. C. Bar Association) SIGNATURES OF WIVES Mary Jones married John T. Smith. How should she sign her name to contracts and other legal documents? The generally accented legal way is for her to sign by simply writting ""Mary J. Smith." If she prefers, or If the form of the contract spec ifies the full middle name, she may writfe 'Mary Jones Smith." This is the customary form ot signature used by a married wo man when she signs as maker of a promissory note or as drawer of a check. Government savings bonds, corporate shares, shares in federal savings and loan associations, sha res of building and loan associa tions. deed to land, titles to auto mobiles, and insurance policies are generally issued to married women in this manner. Indorsements or transfers of ownership of property evidenced by writing should, of course, follow the form of name used in such docu ments. For example, If Mrs. Smith receives a check payable to Mrs John T. Smith, she should indorse by writing "Mrs. John T. Smith." There is nothing illegal in Mrs. Smith signing her contracts or doc uments as "Mrs. John T. Smith." They are not void If she does. In fact, many wives sign their checks in this form. Their signature cards at the bank are in this form. If such wives want to affect a change of signature at the bank, they shou ld advise the bank. A person can use any rame or scribbling he wants as a signature. In business and legal matters, it is merely more correct for a mar ried woman to sign her name as "Mary J Smith" or "Mary Jones Smith." The prefix "Mrs.." is not used as part of the s'gr.ature. Emily Post says: "The on'y times when a lady of qua'i'y signs her name 'Mrs.' are these: in a hotel register, to business telegram, to a servant in her own employ, or to an order letter possibly to a trades man. And then it must be 'Mrs' John Smith." The proper way for a married woman to sign a busines or formal letter is to write "Mary J. Smith" or "Mary Jones Smith," and then underneath, in parenthesis "(Mrs John T. Smith)." The name under neath is for information only, and is not the signature. In writing to friends and acqucin tainces who know perfectly well to whom she is married, she may sim ply sign "Mary Smith." To acquain tances who may possibly have dif ficulty in knowing actually to whom she is married, she may add under "Mary Smith," in parenthesis, "(Mrs. John T. SmithV" %CH?ER *? *1962 May this Yule bring you fulfillment of great joy. Evans Esso Service Warsaw, N. C. - JBasI % I 6 R We- J sing his ' praise and gloiy for this day.' V 1 JONES CHEV. CO..|NC. Pink Hill, N. C i I _ r 11 Today's Christmas Carol Is Descendant Of J.ively Folk Dance Today's Christmas carol is i domesticated descendant of a li vely folk dance. The carol started out in the Mid dle Age3 as a circular country dance, called a "carole" in Fre nch, according to World Book En cyclopedia. Some of the early Christians looked askance at da ncing, however, and the carol soon lost its steps. The lyrics of the songs that had accompanied the dance began to change, too and eventually the "Macaronic" style appeared. This consisted of tacking a Latin phra se on to the popular lines, so that the people sang: Make we jo.y now in this feast In qua Christus natus est They didn't necessarily under stand the Latin, although it car ried on the sence of the song, but the stately Latin words gave them a religious image. In 1223 St. Franc's of Assisi started the custom of placing a creche, or miniature Nativity sc ene, in the church ot Christmas time. People began to act out the events of the Nativity ? one ol the steps in the development of mystery plays ? and then to com pose carols to sing with the plays. rnese Jed to tnt Ereach noels. I strictly Christmas songs, which, in turn, inspired the English ca rol. Carols both secular and religi ous. flourished in England until the Puritans substituted their more spiritual hymns. These car ried along their lass earthy mes sages for more than a century, until a demand for better Chir?t mas music brought back the carol .'1 GiHette^ I0for69<| ?IT?
