THE YANCEY JOURNAL FEBRUARY 2, 1978 PAGE 7 iiniiiiiiiiiiiiiii Extension Notes IIIIIIMMIIIItlll "Slti JfaTptoell BY JOHNNY HENSLEY Ass’t. Agri. Extension Agent We are planning increased time and emphasis on Christ mas tree production in the future. Until recently, 1 have had responsibilities in 4-H and Youth programs as well as horticulture crops and pesticide education. My re sponsibilities have changed now allowing me to spend more time on problems in Christmas trees, ornamen tals, forestry and other horticulture crops. CHRISTMAS TREE WORKSHOPS A Christmas tree work shop is scheduled for Febru ary 9 at 7:00 p.m. in the Burnsville courthouse. With increased interest, and many first-time growers, this pro gram will include topics of site selection for Fir and White Pine; site preparation for planting, soils and fertility, and an overview of the Christmas tree industry. We will also discuss the results of tl^e Fir Seedling demonstra- tipn with 3-0 and 2-0 seedlings a^ Earl McNeil’s farm. Avery County Extension Chairman, Waightstill Avery, and Exten sion Specialist (forestry) Bill Huxter, will be guest speak ers and will be available to answer questions. AREA GROWER MEETINGS Multi-county meetings are Yancey Saving Bond scheduled for Jackson County Tuesday, February 21; Avery County Wednesday, February 22; and Ashe County Friday, February 24. Program details will be sent out as soon as possible. We also encourage your participation and support in our local meeting! WEED CONTROL Now is the time to start thinking about putting on your herbicides, especially materials such as Kerb and Casaron which require cold temperatures to do an effec tive job. Kerb SOW at a rate of 4 lb. active or 8 lb. of material Sales per acre treated sil can be very effective in the control of: Bluegrass, Orchard grass, perennial Rye grass. Chick- wood, Sheep sorrel and Ouackgrass. Simazine can be used later or in combination with Kerb at a rate up to 4 lb. active per acre. INCOME TAX SAVINGS Be sure to take advantage of tax laws as they apply, especially Capital Gains for cut Christmas trees. Another tax break that many growers fail to take is Investment Credit which allows you to take a 10% credit against your tax liability for the purchase price of equipment, such as mowers, hand tools, tractors, pick-up trucks. Eligible pro perty must have a useful life of at least 3 years to qualify for investment credit. We have a limited supply of the “Farmers Tax Guide’’ IRS Publication No. 225. If you need one, please call or come by. DISEASE If you see any unusual disease or insects in your plants, let me know so we can get it checked. If I can be of help, please let me know. 4-Wers Sell Shrubbery To Finance Activities Yancey County 4-H’ers are selling shrubbery to finance club and county activities. 4-H members have decided to do this to become self-sufficient. For a number of years 4-H has been included in the United Way request. Due to growing requests fof United Way Funds, 4-H did not request • United Way funds this year. 4-H’ers hope the shrubbery sale can supply sufficient resources to finance 4-H activities. The sale will also provide the citizens of Yancey County a source of high quality landscape materials at reasonable prices. For further information, see the shrubbery order form below. W.
