■ Die campaign against subscription or so-called pay television has flooded my of fice with communications from North Carolinians in opposition to ttfi proposal. AGAINST PAY TV On the baste of present know ledge I oppose subscription televi sion. 1 have stated that Congress Oflgfat not to permit the imposition of/any toll, fee, subscription, or other charge, directly- or indirect ly, on the general public for the •privilege of viewing television pro grams received over television sets owned by indhridual American Idtizens. Believing this as I do, I expect to volte for one of the pend ing measures which will make it plain that the Federal Communi cations Commission is without le gal power to authorize the im position of any such .tojl, fee, sub scription or other charge. TRIAL BASIS Last Octotoer. The 'FOC issued a pubic notice which said in sub stance that the Oommaniications Ant of 1934 gives it authority to grant tests, on a trial basis, of subscription television. There is great interest in this as the finan cial stakes are obviously very high. •With proper controls and respon sible management and program ming, I feel that the present com mercial television can perform in the public interest, Broadcasting has to be regulated in the public interest.! doubt that two systems, programming. , AIR SERVICE The other day I appeared before the Civil Aeronautics Board here In Washington to plead for addi tional air service for North Caro lina. The importance of this service cannot be overlooked. While I have a strict policy of not interfering as (between competing sections of the State, the hearings last week greatly affected all of North Carolina. UNANIMOUS AGREEMENT I shall not review the recom mendations of the Senate Pre paredness Subcommittee which (were unanimously concurred in by (both Democrats and Republicans. Many of these recommendations are contained in substance in the Symington Subcommittee report of January, 1966, which was dis missed by the Administration as a political report. I was a member of the Symington Subcommittee and an exofficdo member of the (Preparedness Subcommittee. We now have unanimous agreement on these vital proposals. 1 regret that they were generally ignored two years ago. . RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION Hie question is “What do we mean of soil pH?” Simply fere to the r^Uttve < ness, or alkalinity, sweetness, of the soil. Hie pH Of the soil af feots the growth of an plants, and this is the reason lime is needed tor some and not tor. others. If we apply a set of values to the pH range, from 4 to 10, we can state the ranges as follows: 4 to 5.5, strongly acid; 5.5 Ip 6.5, slightly acid; 6.5 to 7.5 neutral; and above 7.5 aloaline. lit is common knowledge that the azalea and the camellia require acid soils with ithe azalea being more tolerant of acid conditions area. On the other side of the uic ture we find that legumes, such as alfalfa and sweet clover, require a pH range of from 6.5 to 7.5. Spinach, often used as a test plant, 8.3 to 7.3; gardenia, the aametaa camellia; cabbage, 6 to 7; tomato, 5.3 to 6.3; Irish potato, 5 to 5.7; sweet com, 55 to 6.7; and so on down the fine of plants. Lime is used to sweeten soils and sulphur and aluminum sulfate to make them more acid. How ever, you should never attempt to amend your soils until you first have ..them tested; The test will not only determine the pH but also organic matter and the essential available nutrient elements such as nitrogen, phosphorous, and pot ash.
