Hawkins, extension family rela tions specialist, North Carolina State University. However, the real trouble may be basic immaturity or childish ness, he points out. " Such immaturity may cause couples to use money as a tool or a weapon of attack In one or more of the following ways: One person may spend much more than the family budget can stand, feeling inside that he is making the other do without. - An Insecure man may control bis wife with a very rigid allow ance.' '-'V A man may spend money where neighbors and friends will see him. Such spending helps him prove masculinity. A wife may cut her husand deeply by comparing his income with other men she knows, es pecially a former boyfriend. In all these situations, Hawkins says, a couple needs to take time for being honest with each other and for seeing that their excess attention on money matters is only hiding their real difficulties. It may take professional help and a lot of time for such a couple to learn how to invest themselves in the purpose of human fulfill ment through helping each other, the specialist says. But the necessary time and money will be more than worth tt in the long run, Hawkins beUeves. ; Their only other choice, he as serts, is to remain emotional children wasting their resources In fighting each other.

Thompson Explains Chemicals "With the weather becoming favorable for planting, many farmers are wondering what is new in the way of chemicals this year", states R, M, Thompson, County Extension Chairman. In the case of corn, it is the same as last year Atrazlme (either pre-emergence or post emergence) or 2,4-D. Some of the farmers in the past have had real success with Atrazlme and Nitrogen sprayed on before the corn comes up, or when it first comes up. The amounts of the chemicals to be used for corn is the same as it was Ust year. Based on last year's results in Perquimans County, for pea nuts - Balan and Vernam sprayed and incorporated before olanttn gave good results, and some of the farmers came back with, a post emergence spray of Dynap, Dy mld or Enide over the top, and they seemed to like this method, even though tt did run the cost up. We are suggesting where Balan and Vernam is used that three (3) pints of Vernam and three (3) quarts of Balan to the acre be used. If nutgrass is not a problem, one gallon of Balan to the acre may be sufficient. Then too, Enide or Dymld sprayed at cracking has given some excel lent results. The secret to Ver nam and Balan Is proper incor poration. In the case of soybeans, there is a new material on the market this year that is sold under the trade name of Lasso to go along with Amiben, Dynap, Treflan, Plana vin, Tenoran and Vernam. All of the above materials except Tenoran Is applied pre-emergence, with Treflan, Plana vin or Vernam to be incorporated. This might be . good opportunity to control barnyard grass by the use of Treflan. The only two materials that seem to be giving any control at all on cockleburs would be Dinap or Tenoran. Tenoran should be appUed before the weeds are two (2) inches talL . ; "Before applying any material to any crop, we urge you to read the label, if you have any ques tions, concerning these chemi cals that are being sold on the market this year, pleas, contact us", further statu Mr. Thompson.
