Aug. 18 RALEIGH Some cf the ttgm 1 restriction on the movement of twine in North Carolina win be relaxed effective August 18, 1969, Agriculture Commissioner James A. Graham lute announced. Ja emergency proclamation is- sued JulylSundefthehogcholera lav; banned virtually all move ment of swine in the State, except swine for immediate slaughter, effective July 28. "The number of outbreaks of the disease beginning in early July necessitated this quarantine for a limited period to give the State and Federal Veterinarians time to study the situation and Recommend provisions under which we could resume swine sales without further Jeopardiz lng our swine Industry," Graham explained. f The commissioner said two im portant factors compelled the quarantine. One Is that North Carolina swine are being embar goed in some of the State's most Important out-of-state markets; the other that funds for Indemnity pay ants are not inexhaustible. . . "Since July 9, outbreaks have cost the State $54,000 in indemni ties and the Federal Government slightly store than that amount," he said. "The situation called for drastic emergency measures If we were to avoid a Federal quar antine on North Carolina swine." CThe resumption of swine movement on August 18 will be limited and under strict super vision, Graham explained. All sales or movement of swine will be only by permit Issued af ter inspection of the herd from which they originate. And, for the time bslaf, permits will be ? issued only for swine consigned to Quality Feeder Pig sales, swine moving from farm to farm with no off-loading enroute, and swine going to purebred sales. The steps which must be taken Jo obtain a permit for. moving feeder pigs to another farm or to a Quality sale are as follows: ft. The owner of the swine must send an application for a per wli to the office of his County rYxtenslon Agent 10 days in ad vance of shipment. Application , blanks can be obtained at the Ex. tension" fflce, from any vo ' cational agriculture ; teacher, from the quality feeder pig auc tion markets, or from the office of the State Veterinarian In Ra. lelgh. - 2. The permit application must state the number of pigs involv ed and to whom they will be sold. . 8. Upon receiving an applica. tlon, the County Agent will noti fy the nearest inspector, who will go to the producer's farm and in spect not only the pigs to be shipped, but the entire herd. V the herd is healthy, the permit' will be Issued. The producer may have bis private Veterinarian to Inspect the swine at his ex. pense. Each permit will be vailed for only ten days after Inspection. , 4. Each permit will be Issued Good Eating In lha(k)01d .' f'Summertuna This Is the season when our i area is a gourmet's paradise.

One copy must be sent with the swine and kept by the buyer until the animals are disposed of. One will be kept by the Inspector, and the only sent to the State Veterinarian. 5. Pigs moving between farms must be treated with anti-hog cholera serum by a licensed vet erinarlan and ear-tagged, either Immediately before shipment or within 24 hours after arrival and before being placed with other pigs in the buyer's herd. Pigs moving through the livestock auc tion markets are already re quired to be administered serum and ear-tagged before leaving the sales premises. All swine to be moved must have been kept on the premlsues of the shipper (consignor) for a minimum of 30 days with no other swine having been added or in contact during the 30 day period. Movement of swine to special sales by purebred breeders will be by special permit In each In dividual case. The commissioner warned that any person purchasing swine which have not been sold under permit will be ineligible for in demnity payments if he has out break of hog cholera in his herd. "These provisions under which swine will be permitted to move have been made possible only through the complete cooperation of the vocational agriculture teachers and the County Exten sion agents," Graham said. "The teachers and Extension personnel are providing a screening ser vice which makes possible en forcement of these measures that are essential to any relaxation of the complete quarantine which has been in effect. These people are giving their time and efforts to protect North Carolina's in creasingly Important swine in dustry, which they have worked so hard to build up.' .

It hu become most difficult, if not Impossible, to get in (he peanut field to try to control diseases, insects, and fertilisation. To make matters worse, this is a time when peanuts need fungicides and Insecticides to control the disease organ Isms", states R. M. Thompson. County Extension Chairman, It might be profitable for you to con sider aerial application of fungi cides with Insecticides mixed In. n fact. If the stand was good, It still could be very profitable to you to use a plane to apply this material as it was noticed last year that much damage was done to peanut varieties, especially on the SB and 88 Inch rows, by trac tor wheels in the dusting process. Then, too, If you have not applied your Dtaslnon, you might consid er an air plane for this applica tion. On the test that we had where Dlaxlnon was applied by airplane the pattern which was caught on sticky paper looked very good, -K you have any further ques tions concernmfthis,please con tact our office", further states Mr. Thompson, TSlTrcrc;i To Scrgcsst ES In Korea Camp.

Albemarle Area's Own Spectacular Explorations So you enjoyed the recent thrill ing spectacle of man's walk on the Moon? It was a wonderful sclent 1 flc success and one which made all Americans Justly proud. But did you remember that you live within eight-five miles of where the birth of Anglo American civilization took place? That an Englishman, Sir Walter Raleigh, held the same dream of con quering the New World that we did of conquering the moon and his efforts began in 1584 and end ed only the the disappearance of the famous "Lost Colony" in 1587? When England began a war with Spain it took Raleigh three years to organize an expedition to get supplies and in 1590 when John White was finally able to return, his daughter, Eleanor Dare White, her daugher, Little Virginia Dare, and all the other colonists had dlsappered, and perhaps no one will ever know what happened to them. But their story Is now being told for the 29th season at Fort Raleigh, on Roanokel&land, North Carolina. You do not have to go to'1 New York for a good theatrical production for you will have it in "The Lost Colony". Since 1964 the production has been charge of the dynamic young Joe Layton, winner of television's Emmy and Broadway's TONY awards. He was choreographer of the original Broadway production of "The Sound of Music", he produced three Barbara Streisand TV spectaculars, staged the musical numbers of the Hollywood movie, "Thoroughly Modern Millie" and last season directed and staged, the Broadway hit, "George M". "The Lost Colony" was authored by North Carolina's own Plltzer Price-winning Paul Green and the producer is Mrs. Fred W.

MIIIIIIIIIIHIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Greater Interest Being Shown On Housing Now that America, has reached the moon, greater Interest is being focused on solving one of the nation's leading domestic problems more and better housing it was revealed today by the American Forest Institute. The success of the country's space program has bolstered the statements of many American civic and political leaders that a start on the housing problem can be made with passage of The Na tional Forest Timber Supply Act of 1969. Mayor Walter Washington of Washington, D. C, testifying at a public hearing on the legisla tion cited the shortage of homes as "the number one domestic problem of the nation's capital." This Is the principal goal of the legislation Increase timber growth and yield on National For est lands and to make more timber available to build additional homes and living units. , Congress set a goal of 26 million new homes by 1978 an average of 2.6 million per year compared to the current record of about 1.5 million. This goal has been written into the law of the land. A survey madebythe American Forest Institute indicates that the legislation has the strong en dorsement of Govs. Dan Evans of Washington, Tom McCall of Ore gon, Frank Farrar of South Dakota, and Don Samuelson of Idaho. The legislatures of Call, f ornla and Oregon have gone on record endorsing it as a major step toward solving the crisis. The proposed Act would pro vide funds for the management of commercial areas of the National forests and establish Congres sional guidelines for the Forest Service. It is now being considered by the Forests Subcommittee of the Agriculture Committee, U. S. House of Representatives. More than 70, members of the House and 15 Senators have co sponsored the measure A record number equal to the broad est support in Congress for many types of conservation legislation. In Introducing the legislation, Chairman John McMillan (D-S. C.) of the Forests Subcom mittee and chief sponsor of the Memorial Books Added To Library Three memorial books have been added to the library's col lection recently.

"Congress is genuinely con cerned with fulfilling its obliga tions to the people it is designed to serve. Among these obliga tions is our statutory commit ment to meet the need of every American tor a decent place to live." The Sierra Club has voiced opposition to Increasing the man agement and yield In National Forests. However, a representa tive of the club told a Con g resslonal Committee that 'there could be more in tensive management on certain portions of the (National) forest land." Brock Evans, the Sierra Club's Northwest Representative, add ed: "There could be increases in the allowable cut (on National Forest lands) If they are earned by increasing the management on this sort of. land." It Is this interest in better management of the National For ests which Is at the root of the legislation to provide addi tional funds from the sale of commercial timber to permit the Forest Service to do a bet ter Job.
