Plesser did say he works almost exclusively for Republican
clients. He said he has done work for the White House.
No prediction was possible from the poll, in the GOP
U. S. Senate primary between Raleighite Jesse Helms
and Concord resident Jimmy Johnson.
Plesser said the numbers in the undecided and don’t
know groups are too large for a prediction. Undecided
voters haven’t chosen between the two candidates, he said.
The don’t-know group includes voters who don’t know
who the candidates are, Plesser said. v !, ~ ■>.
He termed the Democratic contest between incumbent
Sen. B. Everett Jordan and U. S. Rep. Nick Galifianakif
as a contest, saying Gaiiflanakis has chance to unseat
Jordan.
Plesser wouldn’t release percentage figures on any of
these statewide races because he said the nature of the,
questions on these races don’t produce percentage com
parisons.

Chemical
For Alfalfa
The Environment Protec -
tion Agency has recently
released the Chemical Furfdan
for use on alfalfa to control
the alfalfa wevil. The chem
ical is cleared for use and doas
*tti excellent job of controlliig
the wevil. One application
sprayed on during early spring
does the job. Furidan was per
fected several years ago and
has had extensive testing on
alfalfa. Some pdots have been,
and are being tried in Bun
combe County. A group of
farmers and Extension person -
nel saw these plots last week.
The prospect of alfalfa pro
duction in Yancey County of
fers many needed advantages.
Good alfalfa hay has very hijji
feeding value. Alfalfa can be
produced on land not suitabfe
for other crops such as com
silage. of certain
soils sdbjfect! to erosion from
silage to alfalfa is badly need
ed in some cases.
Variety development work
over the p>ast several years has
produced some i improved straits
of alfalfa. Cherokee, Wevil
Check, and Team are three
prominent names at present.
Alfalfa is most easily seed
ed in early fall. It requires
proper seeded preparation and
Fertilisation. Anyone desiring

of polling in which voters aren’t asked .for whom they
will vote.
Instead pollsters ask voters questions about issue*, for
whom they voted last time, to what clubs or groups
they belong and bow they think various candidates stand
on various issues.
Answers are analyzed by computer and the results, Plesser
feels, are more accurate than results obtained by asking
voters for whom they will vote.
Plesser said his margin for error in the North Carolina
poll would be a maximum of three per cent.
“There’s no question but that Gardner will lead,” Plesser
said in a telephone interview. “There is some question
about the magnitude of the win. It may be by as much
as 15 to 20 per cent.
“There’s no question in the minds of the vast majority
of Republican voters that Gardner has a much better
’ chance of winning in November than Holshouser does.”
Plesser said Gardner also is closely identified in the
GOP voter s mind with President Nixon which will help
Gardner in November. —,

Conservation Practices Prove Valid
People interested in coiser
vation of natural resources are
aware that organized and sys
tematic conservation work,
planned and carried out by
soil and water conservation
districts and the Soil Conser -
vation Service, have been go
ing on since the mid-Thirties.
'This fact is particularly
well known in North Carolina,"
commented State Conservation
ist Jesse L. Hicks, "since the
soil conservation program got
its actual start in the Brown
Creek District in Anson Cbunty"
With this historical back
ground, the next logical ques
tion is: Do conservation pro
grams carried out through the
years have valid application
for modern times and for the
years ahead?
'The answer is "yes"—and
in many ways tried and true
programs of environmental im
provement are coming into
their own and proving th as
real value, " the state conser -
vationist said.

'Take farm p>onds, for ex

more than 65,000 px»nds of all
categories, including both dug
and dammed ponds,
created with SCS technical as

"Once Just a source for live
stock water, irrigation and
other agricultural purposes,
these ponds are now an impxjr
tant part of the countryside
and one of the best sources of
bream, bass and other fish that
you can find. The currency of
this program is shown by the
fact that interest continues hijji
even after 36 years—last year
almost 600 new ponds were
installed. "
Erosion control has bam prac

Plesser said President Nixon will carry North Carolina H
in November. He said he did do a percentage figure™
study on the presidential general election race, constructing ■
two separate ballots. mm
He said Nixon would get 42 per cent on a three-way™
ballot today between himself, Democrat Hubert Humphrey™
and Alabama Gov. George Wallace. Humphrey would get!
26 per cent and Wallace 19 per cent with 13 per cent™
undecided. ■
In a race without Wallace, Nixon would get S 3 perßS

in the undecided column, he continued. "sS
Plesser said the Wallace vote tends to lean toward Nixon™
by a two to one majority. He said persons at Hie White!
House tell him Wallace won’t run a third-party campaign™
this year if he doesn’t get the Democratic nomination. §gj
Plesser used Humphrey as the' Democratic candidate™
because the polling was done just after the Florida primary™
in which Humphrey and Wallace were the two highest™
vote getters. H

impressive statistics. But now
with sedimentation a major
urban polluter, the soil conser-
vation program takes on new
significance for all the citi
zens--and practices previously
used on farms have "gone to
town" to aid construction sites
and other urban developments.
Soil-surveys and other soife
data is another example.
Once this was primarily useful..:
to farmers—and they still en
joy its benefits, to help plan
wise land use. But now soils
data is equally important to
builders, local government,
planners, health departments
and others—so much so that 7
out of 9 soil surveys now under
way are being accelerated by
funds from county treasuries ,
and two new ones—the Cum
berland County—Hoke Comity
