Fortunately, the worms can be controlled in valuable trees in the home landscape. The worms, or cater pillars, live in colonies protected by a web attached to the tree branches.

The toxic materials are carried down by raindrops from upper air layers. Although the condition is somewhat harmful, it is not a cause for alarm as would be the case with certain diseases.

It is hard for some of our folks to accept the fact that pollution is actually the underlying cause of this condition. There is no prevention and no treatment for Weather Fleck, Tobacco in a healthy growing condition is better able to withstand weather flecking. Any cultural prac tices such as cultivation or needed sidedressing can be helpful by keeping the crop in a good growing condition. The recent letup in rainfall will be helpful also. - ' * burning the web cover. Use a wad of kerosene soaked cloth on the end of a pole. Don’t use gaso line or other highly flam mable materials.

He was on the faculty of Appalachian State University in Boone for three years. "I believe that my experi ence as a trial lawyer would WASHINGTON —Clever politicians learned a long ting ago that it is easy to fool a majority of the American peoplf by forcing them to pay hidden taxes. The politicians wouldnj dare to impose the taxes direct, so that the taxpayers coug know what their government is costing them. •! Therefore, the tax schemes dreamed up by governmetf are a tapestry of deceit. If you'll stop to think, you hear arfc read a great deal these days about politicians who attadk "big corporations." That is regarded as smart politics, because nobody loves a "big corporation." At the same time, there ought to be some way to malff consumers—the customers who buy things from the varioCh businesses—understand that when the government impost an additional tax on the corner grocery store, be it large (ji small, that tax will really be paid by the customers of thji store. HlDDEN—That’s the way hidden taxes work. The taxei that any business pays are a part of its overhead, just like all 6' its other business expenses. The only way that business csr pay its expenses—including taxes—is by including its ejt penses in the prices it charges you and me, and its othli customers. Someone sent me a copy of a recent report made by t!)« president of Safeway Stores, Inc. W. S. Mitchell delivered HI: report in May at the annual meeting of Safeway’s stockholder* Safeway is one of the nation's larger supermarket chains Mr. Mitchell pointed out that taxes consumed of Safeway's net income last year. To be precise, Mr. Mitch#) reported that Safeway paid $264,269,000 in taxes. But tfo point is: Safeway didn't really pay those taxes; Safeway collected ’those taxes from jts customers by including tg« cost of taxes in the price of food and other goods bought th millions of Americans who were paying hidden taxes! Think of how much cheaper that food could have be#r if it had not been for those hidden taxes. „ '-"'M GUlLTY—Government is the guilty party that Hft caused the inflation that all Americans are now sufferiry Government spending is now roughly four times what it w* just ten or twelve years ago. On top of that, government regulations—which involve all kinds of red tape and paperwori —are costing the American taxpayers $l3O billion a yeir • - That's approximately what the American people are nflw spending for food each yearl So, when you hear some politician advocate that W< raise taxes on the businesses of this country, what they really saying is: Let's raise some more hidden taxes for fk average consumer to pay. > I am convinced that the only realistic "tax reform" tNa Congress could adopt would be a reduction in federal spending We need to stop wasting the taxpayers' money, and balance federal budget. I don't suppose that any of us will ever falllr love with "big corporations," but we ought at least to under stand that the government really can't collect any taxes fraf* corporations. Government can only require corporation* jtc collect more taxes from their cuatomers, and send the monel to Washington— to be wasted by bureaucrat* and Congreps When the people understand that, maybe they'll want have something to say to their clever politicians about hidegr taxes. _ ~ , , - s3s v J- ■ h *■ .m qualify me for this post and I believe that justice should be administered fairly and im partially,” he said.
