Soil Stewardship Wtek
May 19-26, 1968
Soil Stewardship Week, a na
tionwide observance which
places emphasis : on man's
obligation to Cod as' stewards W
the soil, water and other related
resources, will be celebrated
locally May 19-26, according
to L. C. Bunch, Chairman, Albe
marle Soil and Water Con
servation District. Floyd Mat
thews is serving as chairman of
the Perquimans County Steward
ship Committee, with George G.
Winslow and Willard M. Cope
land assisting.
This year's observance, with
the theme, "A Time For Initia
tive", underscores the respon
sibility which each citizen has in
meeting the responsibilities of
soil stewardship. The Albemarle
Soil and Water Conservation
District and some 3,000 com
panion Districts throughout the
nation, Puerto Rico, and the Vir
gin islands, through their State
and National Associations, are
sponsoring this event for the 14th
consecutive year. ,.
Mr. Matthews and his com
mittee have distributed to
churches of all faiths, bulletin
inserts, posters, and booklets
created particularly; for this
year's observance. J
The materials were prepared
by the National Association of
Soil and Water Conservation
Districts, in cooperation with a
Soil Stewardship Advisory Com
mittee , composed of leading
churchmen in the nation. The
committee consists of the Rev.
E. W. Meuller, Lutheran Coun
cil In the U. S. A.; the Rt.
Rev. John George Weber, Na
tional Catholic Rural Life Con
ference; the Rev. Harold Huff,
Board of Missions, Methodist
Church; the Rev. Henry A. Mc
Canna, National Council of the
Churches of Christ In the U. S.A.
and the Rev, Lewis Newman,
Southern Baptist Convention.
Though the 1968 theme and
in the attractively illustrated
booklet, emphasis is placed upon
the provocative v challenges
of proper use as God-given
natural resources, ik ; v ; 1
For example, the booklet
points out;
"It is in the way we live our
lives, rather than in what we
say, that, we demonstrate our
allegiance to God. How well we
fulfill our responsibility to God
will be measured, in the final
analysis, by the dimensions, the
adequacy, and the Initiative of
our service to God, his people,
and His earth.

Thompson Gives Advice On Spraying
"There has been much dis
cussion on spraying both pea
nuts ; and soybeans for grass
and weeds", states R. M.
Thompson, County Extension
Chairman. .
Before you begin to spray, in
most cases you should decide
what weeds or grass you are
trying to kill. Then, after ac
quiring the materials, you
should read the label very care
fully so that you can expect
the i most benefit from proper
application.
. First, If you sprayed with
atrazine on corn, and there is
still grass, a shallow cultiva
tion will help. This helps to
make the chemical work.
For peanuts, if you. are In
terested in over-spraying Ver
nam and Balan, there are two
different chemicals that you can
use. One is Enlde plus Dinltro
and on this material, be sure
and not use over. 30 gallons of
water to the acre on abroadcast
and Over 30 lbs, of pressure.
The rate Is a gallon of the mis
ture to the acre on a broadcast
basis. The other material Is
Dinap which is sprayed at the
rate of 1-12 gallons to the acre
on a broadcast treatment used In
20 to 30 gallons of water. Some

Firearms
Remains
Federal Firearms Statutes
remain in full force. The recent
decision by the U. S. Supreme
Court has been misinterpreted
.by some firearms dealers and
others, as relieving them of
the requirements of the National
Firearms Act.
In the Haynes Case, the court
held that the constitutional privi
lege against self-incrimination
could be invoked against
criminal charges for failing to
register a firearm or posses
sing in unregistered firearm.
The Supreme Court, in its
decision, did not hold the Na

Its provisions to be unconstitu

the National Firearms Actwhich
is not properly registered is
contraband and subject to
seizure. Apersonwhopossesses
a gangster-type weapon, such
as a machine gun, sawed-off

criminal penalties ifthe firearm

Safety Helmets',
For Motorbikes v
Are Mandatory
The balmy weather of spring
not only brings, out the flowers
and the sun bathers it also
means an upswing in the number
of motorcycles and motorbikes
using the streets and highways.
The two-wheelers have been
gaining in popularity in recent
years especially among the
young people, and the result has
been an increase in the
accidents, injuries and deaths
resulting from highway col
lisions and wrecks involving
these machines.
' During 1967, 44 persons diesv
as a result of injuries sustained
in motorcycle and motorbike
accidents. The accident total for
last year was 1,252 with 1,073
personal, non-fatal Injuries.
The 1967 General Assembly
acting to make the two wheelers
safer to operate, made it manda
tory for operators and riders to
wear an approved safety helmet.
For the first three months,
January through March 116
traffic accidents involving
motorcycles and motorDuces
have resulted in five fatali
ties and 95 injuries.
A list of approved helmets
will be furnished on request by
contacting the Driver Education
Division, Department of Motor
Vehicles, Raleigh, N. C.
"The requirement of safety
helmets for all motorcycle
and motorbike riders will result
in fewer deaths and injuries,"
said Motor Vehicles Com
miss loner Ralph L. Howland.
A recent ' survey by the
department indicated that head

of 1 qt. to the acre in a band when
the peanuts are cracking. In fact,
all of the above material would
be applied at the cracking stage
of peanuts. Many peanut farmers
are well pleased with bothEnide
plus Dinltro for their grass con
trol, and in many cases this is
applied before the peanut is
larger than a quarter In size.
For K soybeans, there are
several ; pre - emergence ma
terials and you should decide
here, what kind of grass and
weeds you are trying to con
trol. We are suggesting that
you only spray a 14" band if
you are using Di-Nap, or Ami-
ben. A gallon of Amiben would
spray three (3) acres and you
would used on black land and
in a 14" band you would use
roughly two lbs. j -
After the soybeans emerge and
when they get their first true
leaves, there is a material called
Tenaran which in a band spray
would be applied at the rate
of 1 lb. to the acre plus a suf
factant. This Is a contact spray
and if the temperature is between;
79 ana so degrees, many farmers
have had good success with
this material, 1 !
