M. WILLIAMS CiHOrty Agricultural AfrM Ma.jr tobacco growers are con cerned about the tobacco plant sit uation, because of the weather con ditions. The cold wind, during low tem perature periods such as we have had recently, have thinned the t<? bacco stands on some plant beds. I do not anticipate that serious damage has resulted from the re cent snow and cold weather. Actu ally, plants will fare better under snow than if exposed directly to cold winds. 1. After the snow has melted tighten the cover on all beds to keep it from sticking to the soil. 2. Improve the drainage around the bed if it is not in good shape. 3. A topdressing of 3 to 5 lbs. of granular nitrate of soda per 100 sq. yds. will help where nitrate nitro gen may be low in the soil due to cold, wet weather or soil fumiga tion. Do not "overdo" the applica tion of topdressing. Too much may bum the plants or cause them to be too tender and succulent at transplanting time. Two light ap plications about a week apart is safer than one heavy application. 4. If you are uneasy about the effect of the weather on plants that have already started to come up, you may wish to add about Vz tea spoon of seed per 100 sq. yd. The seed may be mixed with ground limestone, phosphate or wood ashes (not fertilizer) and broadcast on top of the plant bed soil as soon as the cover can be rolled back. 5. Most of the real damage from the weather may occur as the fro/en, puffed up soil begins to dry out. Frequent light watering of the bed will pay as the Mil begins to dry. This will aettle the soil and young seedlings to avoid loss due to drying. 6. Careful attention in the control of diseases and insects to protect your stand is important. The raid weather that we have had recently has cauaed cabbage grower; much concern. Most grow ers I have talked with say that it is a little early yet to know just how much damage the cold weath er has done to the cabbage crop The tender Copenhagen variety which has recently been set in the fields has suffered the greatest damage. Cabbage plants of this variety are scarce and will be hard to replace in either replanting or setting new fields. Weather conditions have prevent ed some of our irish potato growers from completing the planting of their potato crop. Deputy Investigates Robbery at Ocean Pier The refreshment stand at More head Ocean pier, west of Atlantic Reach, was entered some time over the weekend. Stolen was a bucketful of lures, cigarettes and two boxes of cigars. A rod and reel was also taken, but it was found lying on the dock Deputy sheriff C. H. Davis, who investigated, said the burglars broke a window out, got in that way and left by the door. D*. DAVID I. ROSE Firmer ? Sarfroa ? Ltflditor David J.

Without price support for basic farm commodities and with drastic cuts in allotments the smaH fanner, as such, can not survive. We need to improve the quality of our land and water pradnets and more specifically we need to improve the packaging and mar keting of our agricultural produce. I recognize that commercial seafoad and vegetables is just as important a crop in a part of our district as tobacco, poultry, cotton and corn is for the west side of the district Practical research and speedy presentation to the farmers an a State and National level would strengthen agriculture and thus improve the position of the farmers. CONSERVATION I am familiar with the geographic difference in the third Con gressional district. I see the urgent need for water empoundments ia some areaa, drainage in other areas, channels and harbors in some placet, aid restoration by vegetative growth and other measures on Ihe outer banks of our coast. We have neglected our soil streama and forests too long. I have no patience with the neglect of aay of our natural resources. I foal that constant research for sound practices o t conserva tion and development of our valuable natural resources be made a constant goal for the wide variety of problems within our Dis trict. The balance between natural resources and the people represents the key to sound economic longevity in any population. HEALTH The fact that Health ia basically responsible for the attitude and activities of a population makes it mandatory that our people receive maximum benefits from the developmenta and adminis tration of aggressive public health measures. t want it clearly understood that t am basically oppoaed to any form of socialised medicine. I have traveled and studied in eouatriea with such a system and I am convinced that it is not gsad lor oar people. EDUCATION In the field of Education we must not loae light of the basic fact that a health education muit be balanced culturally, eco nomically and scientifically. Education is now a matter of urgent national necessity and our Federal Government cannot continue to evade its clear re sponsibility to assist the States and local communities in a more effective way. At the same time, I am unalterably opposed to the intervention of Federal bureaucracy in the matter of public school policy which must always remain a matter of State and local Concern I believe that Federal Aid to education is possible without Fed eral control of public school policy. As evidence of this I would cite the forty-year history of the Federal Vocational Education program which is free of undesirable Federal intervention la the field of policy. Hie Congress can and should write unmistakable guarantees into Hie law prohibiting the assumption of power by Washington bnreaucrats over these programs. MILITARY I believe the strength of our dynamic defease lies in oar ability to instantly aad effectively counter punch sudden foreign aggres sion sufficient to destroy that source. The early warning system, sound and practical missile de velopment and effective missile delivery moat be constantly re fined toward a state of momentary preparedness. Our standard in general i in Eeeftag reserve, the National Guard Units and our armed forces i must also be maintained and technically modernised with progressive procedure. The true have for the freedom of the world lies in the very real phflooophy of being prepared to defend that which we cheriah. RECREATION Recognizing that balance is the key to any successful method of community existence, it becomes necessary for us to give thoughtM consideration to the support and expanaisn of recreational facilities far the benefits of all oar people thro our State and National parka.
