Yancey Is one of the four largest btriey producing counties in WNC I with about 1800 producers. The insurance, requested by Tay lor, will be extended through the Federal Crop Insurance Corpora tion of the U. S. Department of Agriculture.

Porter, and Robert J. Alexander. Miss j Hassell, who visited in Brazil last year, has a special interest in South America and in United States foreign policy there, which is treated quite frankly by Mr. 1 Porter and Mr. Alexander in their ! book. They feel that our efforts.' in Latin America have been clum- J sy and inadequate and offer a pro-1 gram that they feel would be of mutual benefit to us and our nei ghbors.

M. 1 Raymond B. Harper, Elizabeth town, announced the award. Hare i per, Bladen Copnty agent, is state chairman of the recognition awards committee ana a member of the national association’s awards committee. These awards are made by tfet association to nominees -presented by various states. Baggett win rre present the South eastern District of county agents from North Caro lina at the convent Um. He currently is second vice presi dent of the North Carolina County Agent’s Association and is first vice president-elect of the Associa tion. The award is presented only to county agents with 10 years or more of service. Nominations are baaed on the record of work by the agent and on approval of the state director of extension. Baggett’s award was made on I basis of his emphasizing the need of understanding between urban And rural people. Toward this end, Baggett hft* emphasized a public relations pro gram aimed to bring the two groups closer together in New Hanover County. This has been done through press, radio and television and through civic and professional organizations in the county. As the nation’s urban areas have expanded in recent vwm, g demand for a new type of service has been made on the agricultural agents, and Bagett points out New j Hanover is one of the counties .where this 'has become most ooti-' I ceafile. | “So many of my calls,” he said, are from—towns-peopie ©j- surbur ban people asking for help in plan ning or maintaining their yards, gardens, trees and other plantings! We are getting many queries now on a black-appearing growth on grass what is known as slimey mold, an epiphyte fungus that dis colors areas of lawns when it ap pears. It doesn’t harm the grass, living as it does from the air, but it is unslightly and people call to find out what to do about the Pest. It can be washed off with a hose. “This sort of request for service takes up much of our time here.” The extension service, nation ally. has put more attention on i serving all people where ever they may be than it did in years past when it served farm people al most exclusively. Baggett pointed out though, that agriculture provides a much lar ger ger portion of New Hanover ■ County’s total income ~ than is generally realized. The flower and bulb and plant I nursery business of New Hanover , Pender counties. Baggett aniH 2,000 acres to this area are - /de voted to flower and bulb crops This business is increasing while one of the old standbys-vegetable 1 reduction is decreasing. v 7 Baggett, son of Mr. and Mrs. Daßie Baggett of northern Samp- son County, came to New Hanover County as assistant county agent in late 1950. In February 1951, he was pro moted to county agent following the retirement from that position R. W. Galphin. Baggett is a graduate of North Carolina State College. He entered the extension servise in 1946 as asssistant county agent in Yancey County where he served until com ing to Wilmington. Mrs. Baggett is the former poris Brown of Burnsville, They have three children, Debra, David, and Dudley. MKHIHgIK ON »tr.
