Penney is pictured above receiving the gavel from the outgoing chairperson, Commissioner C.C. Turner. Adults Need Tetanus Protection Joe Costin, director of the Duplin County Health Department says that adults should show more concern about whether or not they are pro tected against tetanus disease. Many adults may be suseptible to tetanus disease simply because they have hot had a TD (Tetanus/ Diphtheria) booster in the last ten years: Older people in many instances cannot remember if they ever com pleted a primary series of three shots against tetanus. If this is the case. Costin recommends that they visit the health department or their private physician and inquire about protection. Cases of tetanus have declined from a high of 601 cases in 1948 to only 87 cases in 1983. Of the 87 cases, 84 (97%) occurred in people 20 years old or older. Sixty-seven cases (77%) occurred in people 50 years of age or older. Only one case occurred in a person known to have been completely immunized against tetanus. The other 86 cases were in individuals with no vacci nation history, an unknown history or an inadequate history of tetanus vaccination. In addition. Dr. C.L. Quinn, county medical consultant, states that if the potential tetanus exposure risk is high, you should keep tetanus immunization current ever six years. High exposure occupations include farmers, people who deal with livestock and poultry, including processing dead birds and their parts. The highest risk of contracting tetanus is from a deep puncture wound, especially if the wound is contaminated with dirt that contains manure. Tetanus is a spore that lives in dirt. It grows best in deep wounds because it doesn't like oxygen. As it grows, it produces a toxin to the central nervous system that causes muscle spasms. The first muscle to be affected is the jaw muscle. Hence the common term is "lockjaw." Costin urges all adults to seriously consider being vaccinated against tetanus. The vaccine is available, it is very effective, and in most instances, very inexpensive. ? POSTAL EXAM ? (Clerk - Comer $9.48/hr.)

Denlinger Amoc. Agricultural Extension Agent The limitation of markets for grain as well as vegetables will be upper most in the minds of farmers attending the Vegetables Growers School and Tradeshow in Kinston on Dec. 12. The low grain prices this year have many growers looking for alterna tives. "This may be a very risky strategy," said Dr. Ed Estes, ex tension economist from N.C. State. "Vegetables can net more per acre, but markets are very sensitive and an increase in supply of five percent can cause a 50 percent price reduc tion in some cases." Estes will discuss ways of avoid ing, reducing and dealing with the risks of vegetable production. Another crucial area of concern for vegetable producers is obtaining credit. "Many farmers just don't under stand what lenders need in the way of information," Says Dr. Jim Rath well of Gemson University, another speaker at the meeting. "The real problem arises when lenders don't have the time and knowledge to communicate their needs for infor mation," Rathwell continued. "Often loan agents are inexpe rienced and have difficulty asking the right questions to demonstrate a farmer's qualities as a good risk. We'll discuss more about how a farmer can help his lender to approve a loan reauest." "I think our vegetable industry can grow dramatically if we concern ourselves with marketing as well as production," said Dr. Chester Black, director of the N.C. Agricultural Extension Serivce. Black will speak on "Building a Solid Vegetable industry." There are many complex compo nents of a vegetable operation, but two very critical areas are taking more play these days. "Irrigation is an important part of a vegetable grower's farm plan. It can assure a crop in any season," says Dr. Ron Sneed, NCSU extension agricultural engineer. "Vegetable growers can be helped by irrigation at almost any stage of the crop. At planting irrigation can improve stands. It keeps the crop growing rapidly. No stress at flowering assures a good fruit set," Sneed went on to say. "Irrigation during the crop matura tion stage assures quality of pack." Quality will be another subject of discussion at the vegetable meeting when Jeff Morton of N.C. Depart ment of Agriculture discusses grading of vegetables. Jeff teams with Dr. George Wilson, NCSU extension horticulturist, who will discuss post-harvest handling. Wilson's subject, "There is Life after Death - Heaven? or Hell?" should prove interesting. The group will also be treated to an update of production practices, new varieties, new pesticides and the latest in plastic culture. "The program this year is out standing," said Daniel Barefoot of Newton Grove. Barefoot is president of the N.C. Fresh Vegetable Growers Association. "We will have many exhibitors of vegetable specific supplies at our tradeshow." "Luai ?i had growers from as far away as Winston-Salem, Charlotte and even South Carolina," said Vice-President Eddie Byrd of Warsaw. '.'We are looking forward to an even bigger meeting this year." - The N.C. Fresh Vegetable Growers School and Tradeshow will be at the Lenoir County Extension Complex, three miles south of Kinston on Dec. 12.
