M. Thompson,' County Extension Chairman. Many of these spots axe caused by manganese deficiency which in turn is brought about due to too mucnl lime In certain spots. This can 1 be corrected temporarily for this year by the application of manganese sulfate which can be sprayed or dusted. If you are spraying maganese sulfate, we recommend 5 to 7 lbs. per acre and If you are dusting we recom mend between 20 and 25 lbs. per .acre. ' : The way to tell if this Is your problem is to look at the leaf , and If the leaf is yellow and the ribs In the leaf are dark green, you can be pretty well assured that tt is lack oi manganese. If you have any question on this, please contact us",further states Thompson. 1 Ussumcs Position a R.

We are also suggesting that with one of these dustings, preferably the first, you use Boron, but we would like to caution you to follow the directions on the bag and not "over -do" it with Boron dust. There are several liquids that are available if you are interested In spraying and if you will contact us we will be glad to discuss this with you. "It Is also time that you consider the first application of land plaster as peanuts are blooming'.

The Society is an international group of orthopae dic surgeons, pathologists, and rheumatologlsts. They Invited Dr. McCollum and Dr. Matthews to discuss their recent findings concerning the relationship of gout and hyperuricemia incases of aseptic necrosis of the femoral head for which there were no discernible causes. Aseptic necrosis of the femo ral head is a hip disease. In the hip Joint, movement becomes painful and difficult as part of the bone separates and is re placed by fibrous tissue. This fibrous tissue erodes the"ba;;" that fits Into the "socket" of the hip Joint, y Dr. Ronald E. .McCollum, Dr, Matthews and Dr.. Michael T. Pvt.

BPW Club Installs New Officers Installation of new officers featured the regular monthly meeting of the Hertford BPW Club held at the RE A building on Thursday Night June 20th., with Mrs. Anna Harmon, presi dent, presiding.

The action left an authorized total of $4.01 billion for the fiscal year beginning. July 1st. and Mathews In Switzerland O'N'eil, bogan their Investiga tions at Duke University where all three began their orthopaedic residencies. They investigated gout, a disease characterized by inflammation of the joints, with deposits of urates in and around the joints; and Hyperuricemia, excessive amounts of uric acid in the blood, as possible causes of the femoral disease. They found that gout followed the necrosis pf most of the sixty five (CD) patients in the study- in some cases 10 to 15 years later. Also, they learned that alcholism was a possible under lying cause of hip-bone necrosis. as well as gout.. Twenty-six (26) of thesixty-five(65)persons in the study were found to be alcoholics. From their re search, they showed that aseptic necrosis of the femoral head often heralds the later onset of gout. The importance of these find ings lies in the development of new surigical techniques and medical treatments for patients with idiopathic aseptic necrosis of the femoral head. They are working to find ways to stem gout, as well as the gouty ef fects of alcoholism, in these patients. Dr. Matthews is in Greenville, South Carolina for a year's work in orthopaedic surgery at Green- General Hospital and Shriners Hospital for Crippled ChMdren. Dr. Matthews is the son of Mrs, Fred T. Matthews of Hertford, N. C. and is married to the former Barbara Sawyer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Muldrow Sawyer of 612 W. Colonial Avenue, Elizabeth City, N. C. Not Sister, Half Sister In publishing the death of Miss Annie L. Blanchard.it stated that Miss Blanchard was a sister of Mattie Matthews. This was in error. Miss Blanchard was a half-sister of Mrs. Matthews. Other than a brother of the late W. R. (Robbins) Blanchard, who was widely known through out the county, and who was In the Meat Department of the J.C. Blanchard & Company for a number of years, Miss Blanchard was survived by only half-sisters. Of the half-sisters. the late Mrs. Jennie Blanchard White was one, she was the mem ber of the editor of The Per quimans Weekly. Her remaining half-sister Is Mrs. Em Parker of Charleston, S. C. In the obituary she was listed as Mrs. Emma Parker, this was in error, as her name is "Em." Surviving is also a sister-in-law, Mrs. Lucious (Maude Sutton) Blanchard, who was not mentioned. The Perquimans Weekly feels that it should make the above corrections, as the Blanchard family, one of the oldest in the county, and highly respected, is now almost extinct. There are no boys in the family to carry on the name here. Miss Blanchard was an aunt of the editor of The Perqui mans Weekly, therefore the er rors in the obit were to the funeral home wrong by who ever reported the death. Being sick at the time, it got by the employes of the paper. As editor of this paper and a niece of Miss Blandard, I'd like to thank for my Aunt Mrs. J. H. (Em) parker in Charleston, S.C.. and my Aunt Mrs. Lucious Blan- hard of Hertford, and myself, everyone who was so kind as to remember her, and us, at the time of her death.
