The judge ruled William . S. Gi rard, the soldier, was on duty at the time the incident occurred and, therefore, may be prosecut ed by court martial proceedings. An administration-backed civil rights bill was given approval.; by the House in Washington on Tuesday and the measure now goes to the Senate. Washington reports' say the bill will have rough sledding before the up per house, and some commenta tors, predict the bill will fail of passage during this session of the Congress. A Senate' committee under Senator Byrd of Virginia is now conducting an investigation of the nation's financial condition. A Washington report stated the probe will be the most compre hensive conducted during ' the past half century. The com mittee hopes to come up with answers to questions( . on ' the tight money situation and the ever increasing costs of living. The weather bureau has start ed a new service on an experi mental basis, that of giving 30- day forecasts of general hurri cane activity.

I Rotary Club Hears JlolmesTzlkOn GcnsrdiAssembly A resume of the activity of the General Assembly was out lined to - ther Hertfotd Rotary piub Tuesday night by Repre sentative Carroll R. Holmes, who told the club members the steady growth of the state is develop ing problems which must be solved by the Legislature. Public demands for new and greater services, Mr. Holmes said, made it necessary for the (Legislature to adopt the largest budget in the history of the 'state. Practically every depart- Jment of the state will Operate Ion a bigger scale during the ' . . .L :f i i ucAt twu yedia iimn u ims a tir ing the past two. I , The Representative pointed out IfhA 10.57 nonoral AccomKli. oat a couple of records, in addition to adopting the largest budget, it also passed more laws than any previous Legislature. Most of these laws pertained to local levels such as town and coun ties. Some changes were made in the state's revenue structure which is expected to attract new industry into Norh Carolina, and a the sairjP time corrected some inequalities which had existed in the tax laws since the 1930s. One of the headaches always present during the General As sembly, Mr. Holmes stated, is the great demand for ever-increasing services but the hesit ancy on the part of those de manding increased services to increase revenue to pay for the services. The Legislature voted into ef fect vast changes in the opera- partment of Administration which is in line with the con stant growth of the state. Holmes also explained the new atflompbile i liability insurance law Which he says requires : a car owner to show proof that he has a liability insurance policy or has made financial responsi bility arrangements with the Motor Vehicle Department be fore he can buy his 1958 license tags. .

ASC Provisions On RmereMeritGf Gimps' Is PiOt Producers it To Check Crops "If you have not checked your peanuts in the past few days, it would a very good idea to do so, as leaf spot hoppers have al ready appeared in peanut fields in Perquimans County," says R. M. Thompson, County Agent. "Both of these troubles can be controlled in the same application if you will dust with sulphur and 5 DDT or copper sulphate and 5 DDT. "You should apply between 40 and 60 pounds of copper sulphate dust to the acre of peanuts, and it, would probably be better in most instances to apply this in 3 applications, and in just about ev ery case in the first dusting, use a dust containing 5 DDT. Also in the case of peanuts this year, there is a material that has been released that will control South ern Stem Rot. In years past, we have ha:! some slight and some serious trouble with Southern Stem Rot in our peanut varieties and this is truer in cases of run ner peanuts than in the case of N. C. 2 variety," stated Mr. Thompson. "We are not recommending that yOu apply terrachlor which is a fungicide that is used to control Southern Stem Rot, unless you have had history showing South ern Stem Rot to be a real prob lem or unless it shows up on your farm this year. This fungicide is mixed in- landplaster and, can,, be applied right along with the ap plication of landplaster to your peanuts but the cost prohibits a widespread recommendation for its use cn peanuts unless this di sease is present. On the heavier lands where peanuts are planted it would be wise to consider the use of Aldrin, to be applied on peanuts to control the Southern Stem Worm. This dust can be applied at the rate of 2 actual pounds of Aldrin per acre and it is a practice that when follow- ed, has put dividends in yield and tices in producing peanuts as it is necessary in most cases on the peanut lrnds in the county and most of these practices are just good . cultural practices that should be . followed year after year." , Town Board In Special Meeting Hertford's Town Board met in special session on Tuesday after noon of this week, at the Munici pal Building and appointed W. F. Tarkenton to fill a vacancy on the town's police department He will succeed M G. Owens who has re signed effective June 28. It was also announced during the special meeting that the board will consider, for adoption at its regular meeting scheduled July 8, a zoning ordinance for Hertford. The public is requested to note this proposed action re garding the zoning ordinance and to remonstrate for or against the ordinance prior to its adoption. Special Clinic Tuesday Afternoon A special polio vaccine clinic will be conducted at the Health Center in Hertford next Tuesday afternoon, from 3 to 5 o'clock for the purpose of giving anti-polio shots to persons who received their first shot at the clinic held June 6 and 7, it was announced today by D. F. Reed, Jr., chair man of the Jaycee committee sponsoring the program. Mr. Reed stated individuals who missed receiving their second shot on June 6 or 7 may also re ceive the shot at this special clin ic next week. He reported seme 760 anti-polio shots were given during the clinic. Advised By Apt 5 Cents Per Copy. h' JUVi.i:i:itlv!' meci - The provisions under which farmers may obtain a remeasure- f ment of their crop acreage was ' explained today by Helene W. Nixon, Perquimans County ASC ' Office Manager. Miss Nixon stat ed that ASC reporters employed 1 by the County ASC Office have been thoroughly trained in the methods of measurement before being sent to the field. However, in som cases, farmers may not be satisfied, with the crop acre age determined by measurements reported by them and may want to request a remeasurement.f As soon as possible after the crop acreages are determined, a notice of the measured acreage will be mailed to the farm operators. Special attention should be given to this notice because if a remeas urement is desired a request must be filed with the County ASC Of fice within the time limit speci fied in the notice. In making the request, the farm operator will be required to deposit the estimat ed cast of making the remeasure ment. Miss Nixon pointed out that the time allowed for filing the re quest for remeasurement is dif ferent for most allotment crops. In the case of cotton the time al lowed is 20 days. For peanuts and corn the request must be filed in 15 dqys. In each case the time allowed for filing the request starts from the date of the notice of measured acreage and not from the date the notice is received by the farm operator. Under present regulations, only one re measurement of the crop acreage is permitted and the acreage de termined by the remeasurement :, reporters will become the. final acreage for the farm, . . If the farm operator isseti1 r tied - with the original measure ment, no remeasurement should be requested but the farm opera tor should be sure to take prompt " action if the acreage is in excess of the farm acreage allotment for any crop. Miss Nixon also point- ; ed out that if the farm operator : . desires to dispose of excess acre age to bring the acreage within v the farm allotment he must notP""' fy the County ASC Office of his intention to do so within the tjfne specified in the notice. Disposi tion of the excess acreage must also be made within the speci fied time allowed for the partic ular crop.
