BUY MOW AND SAVE | DEWEY BROTHERS Families Have Trouble Managing Their Resources KALtion ? fit aii icveis of income, some North Caro lina families have trouble man aging their resources,observes Mrs. Justine J. Rosier, ex tension home management sp ecialist, North Carolina State University. For many families, there is the problem of stretching an inadequate income to cover the necessities of family living. Even when money income Is considered adequate, there is the problem of making the wis est choices for use of money and of fulfilling financial ob ligations on time. Pressure of advertising and desires of acquiring or keeping social status, may leadtoover spending and excessive use of credit without regard to the costs involved, Mrs. Rosier says. A lack of information on qualities of consumer goods, unwise shopping habits and fail ure of families to examine their values and motives in buying goods are basic to some family money difficulties, the specia list adds. Here in North Carolina a consumer council is being formed, the specialist notes. Its concerns include: provid ing members with effective and accurate information about con sumer products SIM service ti North Carolina; helping con sumers understand business and professional practices in North Carolina; action via the North Carolina legislative route, where needed, to im prove the position of the con sumer; building a strong voice for the consumer through a large statewide membership.

Soil Insects Damage Lawns in Duplin By: George S. Wellons, Assistant Agricultural Ex tension Agent. Several home owners In the area have reported their lawns are not doing well this spring. Much of this has been traced back to insect damtge. Grab worms have been found in large numbers in some lawns. These insects feed on grass roots, and if not controlled may ser iously weaken or kill spots in lawns. Damcse is first ob served when the grass begins to wilt and turn Drown. The soil in these areas is very loose and may feel spongy when step ped on. Grub worms and several other insects can be controlled by treating the soil with an insecticide. The insecticides which seem 10 give the best control are: Aldrin, Hep: sett lor, Dieldrin, Chlordane, and Sevln. These insecticides will also control other Insects such as ants, grasshoppers, Japan ese beetles. Granular forms of these ma terials is easy to apply and is less likely to bum young, ten der grass leaves. Moles often cause damqge to lawns. These rodents bur row under the soil and leave small tunnels. The grass just above the tunnel dries out and will die. Moles feed on grub worms and other insects. If these insects are controlled, the moles will either strave or leave.
