Before some of these things can be known, the fanner must know what effect irrigation has on quality, how to measure the amount a water being applied, how much water the soil will hold and what constitutes good water for Irrigation. This and more Information on Irrigating tobacco, both hur ley and flue-cured, Is contain ed In a new publication, "Field Irrigation of Tobacco" now a v all able at county extension of fices. The specialists who pre pared the publication include In it some of the advantages and disadvantages of Irrigation. On the plus sloe are thelollowlng: The extra water can In crease yield and value. In research studies conducted from 1950 and 1957, Irrigated tobacco produced about 15 per cent more yield and sold for 10 per cent more per pound than non-Irrigated tobacco. These were average figures. There were variations among the Individual crops, reflecting variations In locations and sea sons. Adequate Irrigation can change the physical and chem ical properties of the cured leaf. Irrigated tobacco can be ex pected to be lighter In color; thinner; lower In oil, nicotine, total alkaloids and total nitro gen; and higher In sugar than non-irrigated tobacco. Irriga ted tobacco is likely to have larger leaves spaced further apart on the stalk. And under some conditions. Irrigated to bacco will bloom earlier than non-lrrlgsted. A light Irrigation at trans planting will often Improve li ability and early growth. Irrigation will usually re duce tne amount of scalding of upper leaves and "firing" of lower leaves which often occur during dry, hot weather, i Adequate moisture will pro mote faster growth and earlier , maturity which may have sev eral advantages. Among them ; are: 1. reduces risk of hail damage and buildup of certain ( favorable weather; and 1 in creases chance of completing harvest before school starts and labor supply is affected. Other advantages of irri gation include Improving the curability erf the crop IT it is being harvested during ex tremely hot. dry weather; and Insuring reasonably fast growth which reduces loss from cer tain root diseases, especially nematodes and black shank. On the other hand, irriga tion can have these disadvant ages: The largest risk is the pos sibility of getting an extended rainy period immediately after an irrigation. This would in crease the damage from excess water such as drowning, leach ing of fertilizer and lowering of yield and quality. There is no way to eliminate this risk since much of the summer rain comes In the form of unpredictable hunder storms. Another hazard is a chance of contaminating fields with di sease organisms that may be in :he irrigation water. Specific recommendations or all phases of irrigation are if & L Seeks SmfNfi To Offset Tax Increase I Carolina Power A Light Com pany today began filling with re gulatory agencies for an across-the-board surcharge on customer bills at an annual rate of 3.7 percent to be effective July 1. The surcharge is linked dir ectly to the 10 percent Income surtax passed last week by Con gress. As proposed, it would allow the power company only to recover the effect of the tax Increase. Collections for the remainder of 1968 would be at a higher rate than 3.7 percent because of the retroactive ef fect of the income surtax. In filing the request, Sam included in the new extension publication, Circular 491. In addition to being available at county extension offices, it may be obtained upon request from the Department of Agricultural Information, N. C. State Uni versity, Raleigh, N. C. 37607. Behrends, director of rates and regulation for CP&L, said, "We believe we are acting in the best Interest of our customers. In vestors and the areaweserve." The economl c growth of the CP&L area Is much greater than the national average, he stated, and CP&L must raise huge amounts of capital to meet the electrical needs of this expansion. By 1975 CP&L must build another system equal In Size to the one presently op erated. Behrends set the cost of this construction at one billion dol lars. . "With a billion dollar const ruction program ahead of us," Behrends observed, "It Is ne cessary that our company be able to maintain an earnings level that attracts new capital at favorable rates. Otherwise, the greater expense for capital may become a long-term cost that will have to be passed to customers in the form of per the surcharge, die federal sur tax will erase two years earn ings' growth." As proposed, the CP&L sur charge would run concurrently with the federal surtax aid would be removed whe n the tax expires. Other utility com panies across the country have announced plans to seek similar tax clauses. Behrends also noted that when corporate taxes were reduced In 1964 md 1965, CPAL passed these tax reductions on to Its customers. CP&L'a proposed surcharge would amount to approximately $3.50 a year for the average residential customer. Tne same 2.7 percent Increase would apply to all customers upon approval by the N. C. Utilities Commission, the S. C. Public Service Commission and the Federal Power Com mission. "Since CP&L's beginning 60 yeara ago. the company Tias mode every effort to keep the price of electricity down and has been reducing the coet re gularly. While the cost of living index has risen 30 percent in the past decade, CPAL'aprices have dropped 16 percent," Be* hrends noted. > "CFfcL has been battling inflationary pressures for years, and through efficient ma nagement and technological advances, the company has been able to offset rising costs," Behrends pointed out. "However, the federal tax Increase Is an added expense which CP&L cannot absorb without hurting the company's earnings and us ability to at trace essential capital for expansion. It Is for this reason that we seek relief In the form of the temporary surcharge," Behrends concluded. The regulatory agencies are expected to make a ruling on the request In the near future. Savings Bonds & Freedom Shares Now Earn Higher Interest The rate of Interest paid U. S. Savings Bonds and Free dom Shares lias been Increased, according to Mr. E. Craven Brewer, Duplin County Volun teer Chairman. Effective June 1, the rate of Interest paid on Series E and H Bonds moved up from 4.15 percent to4.25 percent?the full" legal limit permitted under pre sent law. This new rate will apply to newly purchased E & H Bonds and to all outstanding Bonds which will earn a com parable Increase In rate to next maturity. Mr. Brewer stated, "Present Bond owners will not have to cash their pre sent Bonds to take advantage of the higher rates." The new rate of Interest now paid on newly purchased Freedom Shares was Increased from 4.74 percent to a full 5 percent when held to mat urlty of 4-1/2 Mr. Brewer stated the Freedom Shares, which were formerly sold only through Bond- a-Month ana Payroll Savings Plans can now be pur chased for cash along with at E Bond of the same or larger denomination at local banks. "While the sale of U. S. Savings Bonds In North Caro lina continues to set records, these new Improvements In the terms of Savings Bonds and Freedom Shares should furnish a major stimulus to achieving the 1968 dollar quotas for North Carolina and Duplin county," said Mr. Brewer.

Motorbike Riders Must Wear Helmets RALEIGH?The balmy wea ther of spring not only brings out the flowers and the sun bathers--it also means an up swing in the number of motor cycles and motorbikes using the streets and highways. The two-wheelers have been gaining in popularity in recent years, especially among the young people, and the resulthas been an increase in the accidents, injuries and deaths resulting from highway collis ions ana wrecks Involving these machines. During 1967, 44 per sons died as a result of injuries sustained in motorcycle and motorbike accidents. The accident total for last year was 1,252 with 1,073 personal, non-fatal in juries. . ' The 1967 General Assembly, acting to make the two-wneelers safer to operate, made it man datory for operators and riders to wear an approved safety hel met. The law became effective January 1, 1968. < For the first th&e months January through March ? 116 traffic accidents Involving motorcycles and motorbikes have resulted la five fatalities and 95 injuries. A list of approved helmets will be furnished on request by contacting the Driver Education Division, Department of Motor Vehicles. Raleigh. N. C. r "The requirement of safety helmets .for all motorcycle and motorbike riders will re sult in/ fewer deaths and in juries.'' said Motor Vehicles Commissioner Ralph L. How land.
