livestock losses are occurring
because of the prolonged dry
weather, according to James

Director.
Johnson stated that the

tary of Agriculture receives
requests from the Governor of
North Carolina. The program
will make low interest loans
available to help coter eligible
farmers’ losses and other
parts of the program will
allow loans for annual produc
tion expenses and to make
adjustments that are needed
to increase the soundness or
efficiency of the operation.
Interest rates on loans for
actual losses are five per cent.
Other parts of the Emergency
loan program carry a market
rate of interest, which is
presently set at eight percent.
Loans to cover actual losses
are scheduled for repayment
consistent with the ability of
the farmer to pay and
available security, up to seven
years. Other parts of the loan
are similarly scheduled but
can carry terms up to forty
years, if needed.
Applicants may be either
individual farmers, farming
partnerships or corporations
primarily engaged in farming.
All applicants must show that
they cannot obtain the needed
credit from private sources.
Among other requirements,
applicants must operate in a

Close Check Advised:
Worm Attacking
mi
Tobacco Crops
BY W.C. BLEDSOE
County Extension Chairman
Burley tobacco, at several
locations in the mountain
area, is being attacked by a
dirty gray or ash-colored
worm. These worms have
been tentatively identified as
climbing cutworms. The total
area of infestation has not
been determined at this time
out it is suggested that
growers keep close check on
their tobacco fields for pos
sible damage. Also these
worms attack crops other than
tobacco.
Some of the worms are
nearly two inches long while
others are less than an inch in
length. From one to seven or
more worms have been
observed per plant. They are
ravenous feeders and have
the potential to inflict serious
natural disaster and plan to
continue farming. Production
losses must be significant and
not compensated by insurance
or otherwise, and physical
losses must likewise be
uncompensated losses.
Johnson said that further
information concerning the
Emergency loan program and
other loans available can be
obtained at local Farmers
Home Administration county
offices which are listed under
U.S. Government (Agricul
ture) in local telephone
directories.
damage to the crop.
Worms are feeding pri
marily on tender leaves in the
top Vi of the plant. The type
of injury could be confused
with budworm, hornworm, or
grasshopper damage. Look
for the worms. They may be in
the feeding area or they may
be on the underside of large
leaves anywhere on the plant.
They apparently do not return
to the ground.
Entomologists at N.C.
State University have sugges
ted orthene at Vt to Vt pound
active ingredient per acre sot
control. Larger worms are
harder to kill, consequently
infestations that are dis
covered early can be cleaned
up easier before serious
damage occurs.

please call the Agricultural
Extension Service 682-6186.

Dear Editor:
I can’t help bat be amused at the hullabaloo these school
principals are creating over their positions, and being the£
unbiased publication that yon are, I know you’ll publish the!
other side of the situation.
I’m little-known in Yancey County’s educational circles, but
I have a keen memory as to when these people obtained their
positions. Frank Deyton was Bred from South Toe and Kenny
Sparks took the job without batting an eye. Mr. Griffith waq
fired from East Yancey. Again Kenny Sparks fell Into tha£
position without reservations. And now for Cara Cox. With
help, she succeeded in displacing Mr. Ronald Kates and took
his job without hesitation.
And I for one Yancey Conn dan, am disappointed that thia
Board of Education didn’t give them a taste of their own
medicine. 1
Yours truly,
D.J. Wilson :

Dear Editor: >
We just had the nicest time last week! •
Senior citizens under the direction of True Elliott and Mnl
Hazel Thomas had a picnic at the Hemlocks Campground. We
gathered in the fine pavillion provided by Older Americans
Program Project-Toe cane Ranger District, U.S. Forest Service:
We soon had a blazing fire in the huge fireplace and the good
food was served at the tables. Soon there was a jolly .crowd
cheering on the horse-shoe pitching. There were some pretty
good pitchers!
I would like also to mention the Laurel Craft Shop which id
filled with a great variety of beautiful hand work made by the
Older Americans of Yancey County. I’ve had occasion for
purchasing several gifts lately and that is where I went.
Senior Citizens are doing a lot of happy and useful things in
Yancey County and I just wanted to brag a little bit and to say
Thank you.-
