Eu gene B/own today. These positions are in Avery, Dav ie, Hoke, Scotland, Stokes, Yancey, Beaufort, Carteret, Harnett, and Halifax coun ties, he added. Salaries ran ge from approximately $7,000 to $13,000. Brown explained that ap pointments can be made in two ways: a regular ap pointment or a trainee ap pointment. A regula- appointment is based on nine months gra duate training in an ~ ac credited school of social work, plus experience in a prnfe. sional capacity in a public welfare department or the social work or a re lated field. Applicants are ited in the unemployment Insurance fund as of the end of Ju’y by the State's total taxable payroll for the fis cal year ending June 30. "Therefore,” said Mr. Nichols, "all employers sho uld mall their reports and payments for the quarter ending June 30 to reach the Cnmmisrlon no later than July 30 because these must be received by deadline to be Included in the computa tions establishing the state wide tax schedule for 1988. The more money in the un employment insurance fund by the end of July, the more chance employers have of paying less unemployment Insurance tax next year.” required to pass the merit examination. A trainee appointment re quires a degree from an ac credited four year college or university plus experience in a professional capacity in a public welfare department, or administrative experien ce in government or a re lated field. A trainee ap pointment is for one year only and is made on the condition that the appointee agrees to attend a graduate school of social work to complete the requirements for a regular appointment. The ralary for a t-ainee ap pointment is 15 per cent be low that of a regu’ar ap pointment. Commissioner Brown pointed an educa tional grant and leave pro gram makes possible help in financing the period of gra duate social work training.

Both yield and quality will improve to an extent that will far more than pay for the labor cost ot top ping. In any event, eince most burley tobacco is stalk cured, it is necessary to re move the tops at some stage before harvest. Topping be fore the seed heads have developed to any great ex tent will usuaUy noticeably improve the yield and qual ity, especially in the upper one-half of the plant, and wil reduce firing of the bottom leaves. Topped to bacco suffers less damage from high winds during the latter part of the growing season. * Burley tobacco should be topped when the seed heads show 50 to 65 percent bloom. It Is best to delay topiing until at least 75 percent of the plants can be topped dtring the first trip through the field. Earlier t'-poing mav slightly Increase yields but this will usually be off set by the added cost of suckerine. S"me sacrifice in yield will generally result from later topping. The x height at which bur ley tobacco should be toooed Is dependent upon a num ber of factors, including (1) the variety concerned, (?) the level of fertilley at wh'ch it is goown, (3) wea ther conditions., particular ly rainfall, (4) time of grow ing season, and (5) market trend. In recent years It has generally been best to tep most varieties two leaves below the first ba’d sucker in the inflorescence. Lower topping is often deshab’e under the following condi tions: (I) low fertility.. (?) drought, (3) high leaf-count varle.t'e3, (4) late season, and (5) market demand for heavy bodied tobacco. Top ping at a higher level Is generally rn*. desirable. FLICKERING Under normal to high soil moisture conditions the ruckers (axillary buds) on burley tobacco beein to de velop r.addlv after tonping. Under draught and low fer tility condit’ons. sucker de velopment is greatly retard ed. Both experimental re sults and farmer experience show that frequent removal of these suckers from the plants during the inte’val between topping and harvest is profitable. These benefits result from both increased yields and improved quality. Under normal conditions it i~ usually desirable to re move the suckers at 7-10 day intervals, thus making two to three suckerings nec essary before harvest. In cases where acreages are larger and labor costs must be kept low, or where it is desirable to hold nico tine percentage to a mini mum, it is bert to: (1) Top when three-four - 'ths of the plants are in blooirt, topping all plants in the field so as to give even maturity. (2) Keep suckering to a minimum and let the two top sucke-s remain. This will help hold down the de velopment of nicotine. (3) At harvest, remove, the top suckers ;-bw=*»l©pping to i the desired “height for hous ing. (4) Remove remaining suckers and cut plants. This procedure conserves labor by distributing the work load and permit the’ production of a satisfactory yield of quality tobacco. Al though chemical means of sucke’ control on burley to bacco have been under in vestigation for several years, none, so far, has proved to be entirely satisfactory; hence, hand suckering is still recommended for this crop. \ The use of MH-30 on bur iey tobacco is not recom mended becau'e cigarette manufacturers have stated that tobacco treated with MH-30 is less desirable than untreated tobacco for mak ing cigarettes. However. ■ if I the fanner has already purchased this material and intends to use it, he should carefully follow the direc tions printed by the manu facturer. Woman’s Work ijP f \ 7
