Nation ally, increases were recorded in all offenses, led by the property crim es with auto theft up 22 percent, larceny $50 and over 21 percent, and both burglaiy and robbery up 18 percent. The crimes against the person also showed sharp increases with fqrcible rape up 22 percent, mur der 17, and aggravated assault 14. All cities when grouped by pop ulation size reported consistent to tal crime increases. The wide spread nature of the upward trend was evidenced by the fact tbat 636 or 86. percent of the 743 cities ovir 25,000 population registered over all crime increases; These cities reported an average trend of 18 percent, the area 27 percent, and the 16 percent. decreases in any of the i by city group and aggra Index offenses during the firsl quarter of 1964 or 84,726 more of fenses than the same period ir 1963. A preliminary review of new in formation reported for the first three months of 1964 reveals that nationally 59 percent of the rob bery was armed and 41 percent strong-arm robbery. Concerhirig burglary, 77 percent was reported as forcible entry, It percent unlawful entry with nc force and 7 per cent attempted burglary. A firearm was used in 15 percent of the aggravated assault, a knife or other cutting instrument 41 per cent and the remainder personal or other dangerous weapons. These breakdowns for robbery, burglary and assault vary widely by size of city and geographic regipn. Specifically, person under 18 were apprehended in 5 percent of the murder offenses resulting in solu tion, 12 percent of the forcible rape, 8 percent of the aggravated assault, 14 percent of the robbery, 35 percent of the burglary, 38 per* total larceny and 46 auto theft. Leslie Brown Named State 4-H President A Jones County farm youth Wed nesday was elected prseident of the North Carolina 4-H Club Council at the annual 4-H Club Week observance at A & T Col lege. Leslie Brown, 18, a recent honor graduate of the Jones High School in Trenton, is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Tommie Jones. Brown this year was president of the student body and is one of three members of his race to be admitted on stholarship to David son College. He will begin his stud ies there this fall. Brown defeated Dannie Hoover of Charlotte, and Joseph Whitakei of Halifax, for the presidency. Other officers elected included Nona Sherrod, Fremont, vice pres ident; James Pridgen, Snow Hill secretary-treasurer; and Shelth Burnett, Mebane, Historian. Saturday will be payday for half the candidates involved in the sec ond primary,, and a bleak day for the losing half. The big show is the knock-down and-drag-out contest between Dan Moore and Richardson Preyer for the state's No. 1 political job. A much lesser contest is that be tween Cliff Blue and Bob Scott for the lieutenant governor post. But in Jones County there is a great deal of interest in the six way race for three of the five seats on the county board of commis sioners. Governor Race In Jones County in the first pri mary Preyer led the ticket in the governor race by a slight margin with j021 votes, with Moore in sec ond place while Beverly Lake ran third with 302 votes. The best guess being made by those concerned with such things is that the combined vote of Moore and Lake will reverse the picture Saturday, since it is believed in Jones County as well as in the rest of the State that the majority of Lake voters will turn to Moore on Saturday. Lieutenant Race Bob Scott led by a very wide margin in the three-way lieutenant governor race in Jones County and it is expected that he will keep Jones County very strongly in his column as he campaigns against Cliff Blue. In the first primary •Scott got 1351, Blue 640 and John | Jordan ran second with 655 votes Don’t Hurry Poisoning Aaent Franck Advices To learn and to show,” is the purpose of .our tobacco it says Farm Agent J. R. Franck. Franck lists the demonstrations as follows:: Fertilizer Rate — Ben Killings worth (Jarman Fork) Spacing and Height of Topping— J. C B. Koonce (Jarman Fork) Deep Plowing — Edmund Huff man (Comfort) Sucker Control — W. J. Jones (D. A. Jones Store) Tobacco Variety Demonstrations — J. £. iParker (Davis Field), Clif ton Hood (Wiyse Fork), Victor Small (Highway 258), Ellis King (Small town), Wesley Murphy (Small town), Ed Greer (Pleasant Hill). Franck discussed the purposes of each demonstration as follows: Fertilizer Rate — To find the best methods for determining the amount of nitrogen and potash lost through leaching from excessive rain and how best to replace these lost nutrients. Deep Plowing — To see if deep plowing and/or application of fer tilizer and lime to the subsoil will pay off. Spacing and Height of Topping — To follow up experimental evi dence that the number of leaves per acre largely determines the yield, but that by varying the num ber of plants per acre and the height of topping, the nicotine con tent and other quality factors are changed. In this tests, spacing in the row varies from 16.3 inches to 23.8 inches and height of topping varies from 16 to 20 leaves. Sucker Control — To try prom ising new chemicals in controlling suckers. Brown Spot Control — To try and to compare chemicals and fun gicides in control of Brown Spot Disease. Tobacco Variety Demonstration* Here we have 16, varieties of to bacco planted, eight of which are being considered for release for the 1965 crop. “We invite' the farmers at their ence to visit these demon 'and study them. AH var ieties and plots are marked clear ly,” says Franck. He also added •tyre_ plan to hold mietingjr'jllJ, these nlfSfeltfftfiiildhi later when differ ences become more apparent." Land Transfers Jones County Register of Deeds Bill Parker reports recording onlj one land transfer in his office dur ing the past week, that of 295 acres in White Oak Township fron James and Marie Brownell to th< Riegel Paper Company. Two Jones Arrests Jones. County Sheriff Browt Yates reports two arrests during the past week, those of Ed Jones Jr. of Maysville who is charged wit! drunken driving and Godfrey Wil der of Trenton who is charget with public drunkenness. CommUsioMr Race In the first primary only two* candidates for tlje board of Coun ty commissioners secured the nu merical majority needed for nomi nation, they were James Barbee and Harold Mallard. This made possible a six-way runoff in the second primary for the other three: nominations. This race has developed into a geographical tug of war between ti e eastern and western ends of. ■ the county. The nominees were fairly well' split with Barbee from the eastern end in White Oak Township and | Mallard in the central part of the | county in Trenton Township, i The runoff has two strong con j tenders from Tuckahoe Township* in the extreme western part of | the county — Charlie Battle and i Alva Howarl, one candidate from White Oak in the east — Albert Bracev, two from the biggest town ship in the county, Pollocksville,. Nelson Banks and Denford Eu bank, and the sixth, Clifton Hood, is from Beaver Creek, which is the northernmost township in the .county. There is talk of asking County Representative Mrs. John Hargett to introduce legislation in the 1965 session of the General Assembly to allocate county commissioners on a geographical basis because there is the theoretrical possibility in Sat urday’s second primary of coming up with a board of county com missioners who all live east of Trenton. This likelihood, however, may not materialize since both Battle and Howard, from the western part of the county, did get good votes in the eastern precincts in the first, primary. Hood is a resident of that sec tion of the county that has not hadf representation on the board in a good many years. In the first primary among the six in the second primary Banks ran high with 1287 votes, Battle next with 1162, Howard next with 1153, Hood next with 1072 votes, Eubanks next with 1061 and Bracey next with 1054 votes. It’s easy to see that with such a tight race the first time around that nobody is likely to know which way this race is going to go until after all precinct returns are-. ; in Saturday night. With only a 233-vote spread be tween Banks and Bracey any three of this six-man group could wind up with one of those empty seats on the county board. Many Tobacco Demonstrations This Year in Jones County rut it ott as long as you can. This may seem like poor advice but it is good advice when it comes to poisoning tobacco for horn worms," says Farm Agent J. R Franck. “Too many of our farmers waste money and put unnecessary poison on tobacco in trying to control Record Rainfall Kinston was hit by a 6.6-inch cloudburst Monday which snarled traffic, damaged many homes and businesses, tore up countless storm sewer drainlines and washed out a six-foot section of East Highland Avenue where it crossed the Adkin| canal. Soil Conservationist Joej Williams says records indicate that the Kinston area is rated as likely, to get such, a deluge about once' in each 100 years.' I I Family Reunion The annual reunion of descend ants of Gregory Ervin will be held Sunday at the'Pleasant Hill Com munity Building, which is near Pleasant Hill Christian Church. The program begins at 11 a,m. and will be climaxed with a picnic. ■M v a- ' ' : ’ worms, the agent stated. “These people poison to keep the worms from ever getting started, but the most sensible approach in this case is to poison to kill worms if they are present. In this way many farmers will find that in some years they won’t have to poison at all for hornworms,” he brought out. Franck said, “To follow this ad vice the farmer will need to keep a close check on his tobacco and will need a good system for this check. A good way to check the field is to eaxmine thoroughly 50 widely scattered hills in each field for hornworms. If as many as 5 worms that are over 1 inch in length are found, then poisoning is justified. Smaller worms and eggs are not counted since they eat relatively little of the tobacco and' natural enemies, such as diseases and wasps, very often destroy them. However, if many eggs and smaller worms are observed, then this is an indication to the grower to keep a close check on the level of infestation.” “Give nature a chance to dispose of the homworm before you resort to. poison,” concluded Franck.
