Competition from other areas is very tceen and many states allow tax concessions" and use tax es to build plants.

Trial & Error ' fl A' We have been fortunate enough to receive another loVely poem from Bess Hines Harkins entitled "Find Rain" The poem, to me, is a beauti ful one for the Easter season.

Johnson Refuses ARC Request To: The Board of County Commis sioners of Duplin County Gentlemen: I acknowledge receipt of your er solution of March 4. 1963, and your subsequent resolution of March 19, 1963, confirming your multiple re quests as set forth in the original of March 4th. Let no person fail to understand that a resolution (re quest), from a duly elected Board of County Commissioners, is a valid petition. Your initial request, part (1), for your members of the General As sembly to introduce legislation to provide for, "ALLOWING THE PEOPLE OE DUPLIN COUNTY TO VOTE ON MAY 25th TO, ESTAB LISH ALCHOUC BEVERAGE CONTROL STORES WITHIN DUP LIN COUNTY". The North Carolina Law, General Statutes, Chapter 18 - Section 61, captioned is follows, "COUNTY ELECTIONS AS TO LIQUOR CON TROL STORES; APPLICATION OF TURLINGTON ACT; TIME OF ELECTIONS." Provides in the first sentence of the second, paragraph thereof, the following; "SUCH ELECTION SHALL BE CALLED IN SUCH COUNTY BY THE BOARD OF ELECTIONS OF SUCH COUNTY ONLY UPON THE WRITTEN REQUEST OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISS IONERS THEREIN, OR UPON A PETITION TO SAID BOARD OF ELECTIONS SIGNED BY AT LEAST FIFTEEN PER CENTUM OF THE REGISTERED VOTERS IN SAID COUNTY THAT VOTED IN THE LAST ELECTION FOR GOVERNOR". Since our present Statewide Law enacted in 1937 provides adequate remedy for your first request, I feel that further legislation for this pur pose is not necessary. Part (2) of your first request for a specific div ision of net profits, should the coun ty vote favorable in such election, is a matter that can be legislated in a subsequent General Assembly after the voters have rendered their judgement at the polls. Such net profits could not now be anticipated to accumulate until after one or more years of operation of Central Stores. Your second request, based upon a petition from "Members of the town Government of the towns of Wallace, Warsaw, and BeulaviDe", to the County Governing Board, would provide for municipal elec tions and reads as follows: "SHOU LD A REFERENDUM FAIL TO CARRY ON A COUNTY-WIDE BA SIS THAT AFTER 60 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF THE COUNTY REFERENDUM, ANY INCOR PORATED TOWN LOCATED IN THE COUNTY WITH A POPULA TION OF MORE THXN 500 PEO PLE AND WITH POLICE PRO TECTION SHALL BE AUTHORIZ ED TO CALL FOR AN ELECTION TO ESTABLISH AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL STORE WITHIN THE TOWN". Introduc tion of this request would, not be in keeping with my platform pledge, (item 2>, to the voters of Duplin County in the 1962 May Democra tic Nominative Premary and in the 1962 November General Election. (Continued On Back) How To Control Wireworms In Tobacco By Vernon H. Reynolds Duplin County Extension Chairman These insects overwinter in the soil in the larval stage. It is very difficult to forecast probable dam age since little is known about why they may. infest only certain areas. They can cause severe damage to newly set plants by tunnelling in the stems at the ground level. When full grown, the larvae are brownish in color and are about Vi to 2-3 inch long. They complete their devolp ment in the soil usually by late May and early June. There are sev eral species in the state, but the tobacco wireworm seems to be the main one in most counties. Wire worms in some areas, apparently have built up a tollerance or resis tance to aldrin and other chlorina ted hydracarbons. There is only I one full brood of the tobacco wire worm per year, but certain other - species present may have more than one brood. CONTROL Resistance to chlorinated hydro carbon insecticides such as aldrin, dieldrin, and chlordane, appears to have become widespread in some areas of the state. For broadcast treatment and as a substitute for (Continued On Back) April Term Of Superior Court Held Lost Week-Stevens Presided April term of Superior Criminal a Court was held last week.
