Brilliant orange is the typical color of this handsome member of the milkweed family, but one can sometimes observe red or pale yellow forms along the highways of North Carolina and in much of the Eastern United States. While butterfly weed is a milkweed by virtue of the struc ture of its flowers-the means by which botanists group plants into families-there are noteworthy differences from other family members. The sap of butterfly weed is watery rather than milky, The first American “gold rush” began in Cabarrus County North Carolina in 1799 after the discovery of a 17-pound gold nug get.

Thomas, D . /en, has been appointed to serve as a member of the Legislative Research Commission In the North Carolina General Assembly. Senator Craig Lawing, President Pro-Tem of the N. C. Senate, made this appointment. The Legislative Research Com mission is responsible for oversee ing all special studies and reports produced by the legislative membership during the time the General Assebly is in adjourn ment. In a letter to Thomas, Law ing called the appointment a “pleasant challenge’’ with up wards of 25 study commissions ex pected in the interim between ses sions, “I’m very pleased by the ap pointment, one with year-round responsibilities, and I look for ward to getting started,” Thomas said. Thomas Appointed Ho Legislative cooling effect as 10 air-conditioners runn saday. shade tree has and the leaves, which are rough and hairy, long, narrow and pointed, are placed alternately up the stem, rather than on opposite sides, typical of most milkweeds. Butterfly weed is so named because it is a vital food resource for some butterflies. Pleurisy root is another name for this orange flowered milkweed. The dried root once was a common herbal remedy for pleurisy, pneumonia and other lung diseases. The botanical name for milkweed is Asclepias, a name that honors the ancient Greek god of health who was renowned for his miraculous curative powers. The milkweeds also are noticeable on roadsides in the fall when the seed pods break open to release dozens of feathery parachutes. Each parachute is at tached to a flat teardrop-shaped seed and is carried by wind cur rents to some other roadside, open field or wood’s edge. The long silky seed hairs have been used in war times and in other periods of scarcity as a substitute for imported kapok as the buoyant filling for mattresses, floats and life preservers. Butterfly weed has a long, thick taproot that helps it survive in the heat of dry roadsides and in open fields with poor soil. It is a good plant for a home garden or a perennial border, but it is very dif ficult to transplant from the wild. It is next to impossible to dig up the whole taproot. The plants are, however, easy to grow from seed, and a handsome, full-sized flowering specimen can be permanently established in the garden in two years. Another method for propagation is by root cuttings, best done in early spring before tap growth has started. Portions of roots are selected, cut into pieces two to three inches long and buried in moist sand into which some leaf mold and soil have been mixed. Since the resulting plants are identical to the parent, this method is especially useful to the gardener wishing to increase plants with an especially desirable flower color. Enjoy the orange butterfly weed blooming this month on the road sides and at the NC Botanical Garden in Chapel Hill. And con sider adding this beauty to your garden in any sunny spot where the soil is not wet. }%i' NOTICE TO BIDDERS PAMLICO COUNTY, CDBG PAMLICO COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA fen .... .*■ ". ■ ■" ' : Bid specifications for the rehabilitation of 18 dwelling units in the Pamlico County Com munity Development Block Grant Project area will be available in the office of the Coun ty Planner on June 4, 1983.
