which tax may be
postponed you may de
duct for “fix-up” ex
penses if they _ were
accomplished within 90
days prior to the sale,
and paid for no later

well worth your while.

Corn Blight
BY WM. C. BLEDSOE
County Extension Chairman
Several fields of corn in
Yancey are infected with
“Gray Leaf Spot.” Farmers
are referring to the condition
as corn blight, however it is a
different and distinct disease
from what we had so bad a
few seasons back.
Gray leaf spot has been
identified in field samples
submitted to the plant disease
and insect clinic at N.C. State
University.
Gray leaf spot of com is
caused by the fungus Cerco
spora zeae-maydis. The fun
gus can infect leaf blades and,
to a much lesser extent, leaf
sheaths. The gray or pale
brown lesions are long and
narrow with parallel sides
delimited by leaf veins. The
ends are usually blunt, giving
the lesions a long rectangular
Lion ‘White
Cane’ Drive
The Burnsville Lions Club
announces their “White Cane
Drive”. There will be mem
bers of the Burnsville Lions
Club stationed a, the entran
ces and exits of the Banks
Family Square and the Ingles
Shopping Center this Satur
day from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30
p.m. They will be soliciting
donations for the blind of our
community. Please--do not
pass them by. All of yout
donations will be used to help
the visually handicapped of
our community.
Yearling Price
Prices for the graded
yearling steers are running
from 2‘/i to 4‘/i cents per
pound higher than a year ago.
The second sale was Septem
ber 27th and the last yearling
steer sale of the season will be
October 18th (weigh-in 17th).
The Feeder Calf sale was held
October 4 and another one is
slated for November 1.
National 4-H Week Theme
Freedom To Be
During National 4-H Week Oct. 2-8, 4-H members will be
explonng the theme, “Freedon to Be.” Over the years, 4-H
has helped millions of boys aid girls grow into self-directed,
productive apd contributing nembers of society. It has done'
this through an informal, lean-by-doing approach to educa-
f l ®,"’. 1 " v 'f hich young people cloose their own projects and set
individual goals for achievement
The strengths of 4-H cone from several sources. The
Cooperative Extension Service of the land-grant universities
state and local governments, and the U.S. Department of
Agriculture provide substantial esources and versatility for the
4-H program. Private sector dbnors-businesses, foundations
and mdividuals-contribute sigiificant financial and technical
assistance. And parents who ire involved in 4-H help to
reinforce their children’s learniig experiences in the program.
But the real key to the succiss of 4-H lies in the hundreds
of thousands of volunteers who lead organized clubs and
special interest groups or serve is advisors at the local level It
is estimated that for every hourspent on 4-H by a professional «
extension worker, a volunteer leader spends 10 hours. This
amounts to about 20 eight-hour.iays each year.
Volunteer leaders provide lealthy adult-youth relation
*i u S ’ tcach Neills, and give suiervision and encouragement
Although the number of leadfers has doubled in the past
decade, even more will be neefced if 4-H is to offer positive
educational opportunities to increasing numbers of youth. We
can t think of a better way to iwest in America’s third century
than by volunteering time and talents to help prepare young
people for the future. •
shape. Lesions commonly are
about V* inch wide by about 1
inch long. When the infection
is heavy, lesions merge into
long stripes. Eventually the
entire leaf may be killed.
Gray leaf spot was first
reported on corn in Illinois in
1925. Although it has been
said to be common in South
America, it was not reported
in the United States again
until 1943 when it was found
causing moderate to severe
damage in some fields in
eastern Tennessee and Ken
tucky. In recent years gray
leaf spot has caused minor
damage to com in the
mountain valleys of western
Virginia. In 1972 we observed
severe damage from gray leaf
spot in one field in Madison
County, North Carolina and
' very minor damage in several
nearby fields. In 1973 severe
damage occurred on com in
Blacksburg, Virginia and in
several locations- in North
Carolina. The disease was
most serious in areas of
Macon, Haywood, Transyl
vania, Madison, Yancey and
McDowell Counties in fields
where most of the leaves have
been killed by mid-August. It
was also found in Caldwell,
Surry, Davie, and Moore
Counties.
The gray leaf spot fungus
probably survives the winter
as resistant mycelium or
thick-walled spores in dead
com leaves left in the field.
Other species of Cercospora
Farm Bureau
Meeting Set
The Yancey County Farm
Bureau will hold its annual
meeting on Monday, October
10 at 7:30 p.m. in the
courtroom. The purpose of
this meeting is to discuss
loose leaf tobacco and other
commodities. All Farm Bur
eau members are urged to
attend and take a part in
forming Farm Bureau poli
cies.
are known lo survive in this
way, and it appears that gray
leaf spot is most severe in
fields of com following com
with minimum tillage. Judg
ing from what is known about
other species of Cercospora,
weeds are probably not
susceptible and would not be
likely to be important in the
disease cycle. Very little is
known about the susceptibi
lity of different com hybrids,
but some studies are under
way in Virginia.
It has been observed that
the gray leaf spot infection
has been building in certain
Yancey communities for the f
past 2-3 years. The Agricul
tural Extension Service
strongly suggests a complete
harvest and thorough clean up
of all com fields in the county
this fall to keep the disease
down next year.
Public
Lands
Forum
A “Public Lands Forum”,
a seminar to discuss Natiop.al,
Parks, National Forests and
trails, will be held Tuesday, !
October 11, sponsored by
- Lamar Gudger. .
The session is scheduled to
begin at 9:30 a.m. at Western
Carolina University, Cullo
whee, N.C. Participants will

“While a large portion of
the land in the Eleventh
District is Federally owned,”
Congressman Gudger said,
“it is public land. We all have
a stake in it, because this land
is available to each of us. The
agencies taking part in this
seminar all manage various
portions of these public lands
for us. I want to bring them
together so that each agency
official can explain to you how
they manage these lands for
your benefit.”
Participating on the pro
gram with Congressman Gud
ger will be David F. Felmet,
chairman of the N.C. Park,
Parkway and Forest Develop
ment Commission; Dr. H.F.
Robinson, Chancellor of Wes
tern Carolina University; Law
rence M. Whitfield, Regional
Forester of the U.S. Forest
Service; George Olson, Forest I
Supervisor of the National
Forests In North Carolina;
Boyd Evison, Superintendent
of the National Park Service; j
Joe Brown, Superintendent of j
the Blue Ridge Parkway; and I
Conro L. Olive, Jr., Manager
of Properties, Central District
TVA.
“This seminar is open to
'"the public,” the Congressman
said, "and everyone is wel
come. Groups and individuals
interested in the development
of parks, forests, and trails,
and persons employed in the
wood industry are particularly
encouraged to attend. There
will be ample opportunity for
questions and answers.”

Gardening
Fall is a rich gardening season and planted in mid-July,
'cool-season vegetables will bear during most of the fall, or until
frost or a freeze.
Although the fall garden generally requuc» less care than
the spring and summer garden, it still must be watered,
weeded, fertilized and kept free of insects.
July efforts have resulted in an autumn-long harvest of
tomatoes, beans, okra, squash, cabbage, carrots, pepper, corn
and greens for youth enrolled in the Expanded Food Nutrition
Extension Program, under the supervision of Nelle Johnson,
Program Aide. Their garden projects were planned to include
three plantings from April through July-so that they would
have a plentiful supply of these Vitamin rich vegetables to eat
fresh and to can, freeze or store for the winter months.
Information is supplied to the young gardeners by the
Agricultural Extension Office in addition to supervision by the
Extension Program aides.
