It costs lore and has persisted longer flan just about any farm eadache In the book. Now Is the time to get started, wording to a North Carolina tate University weed specialist. f'Get started before spring t ofS "begTris by planning a omplete, season-long weed antrol program," urges Dr. nny Rogerson. "You won't get ie job done without thorough "annlng." Dr. Rogerson suggested a plan ; Sllzlng . both cultivation and hemlcal herbicides. With ivorable conditions, some erblcldes give season-long antral. Most problem fields still squire some cultivation. 'And don't forget the soil bank T land retirement fields," he jiiggested. "Often we work for ears to lower weed population on I field then allow it to build back p again when the field is fallow. eep land - all land - clean. This only reduces weed problems I I reduces the home for insects id diseases. "Most importantly, don't let eed seed mature." :onomics have to be con red in planning an all-out aht In thA war An uioaH togerson suggests asking these uestions: Can I control weeds by 'ultlvation alone with less ex ense than using herbicides? If p, stick with this system. I What 'will happen if weather .raven ts an early cultivation? What happends to plant roots nd soil . moisture when jultivation is needed at layby :mer 1 Labor costs would help answer lie first question. It's usually less Expensive to apply herbicides nan to pay costs of two or three ultivations. On the second question, if an ly cultivation is prevented, ass and weeds that come up lfh the crop may force epnnting of the crop. And on No. 3, cultivation often amages feeder roots at layby jnd soil moisture is lost. A layby Tblcide treatment is preferred, i When and how to cultivate are fcher factors that should be in cluded in advanced planning, farmers generally know when to ptivate but is some cases they fultivate too deep. Plow sweeps t cultivators should only be deep fnough to destroy weeds and masses. 1 Dr. Rogerson said that there Ve-emergence herbicides are jsed, they sometimes loose their Effectiveness due to adverse onditions, Cultivations or post mergence treatments are then .teeded. I Guidelines for controlling veeds in major crop3 should be stablished well in advance of f (anting. Here are some suggestion the extension Specialist outlined. I Determine how much of the Vital budget can be spent on weed jokrol and stay within this limit. I Analyze your weed situation, Identifying what are the troublesome weeds.

Try to decide which chemicals are best for a specific need. It is quite possible to go through an entire season without cultivating corn, cotton, peanuts and soybeans In some situations' where an adequate chemical control program Is followed. Dr. Rogerson pointed out that herbicides make possible an effective season-long weed control program on most North Carolina farms, "In past years, we have used herbicides to supplement cultivation," he said. "Now, with more chemicals available, we supplement her bicides by cultivation when needed." He emphasized that some of the most important aspects of use of herbicides is following label directions to the letter. MOON BEAMS AND STRIPERS Linesldes continue to work their come-hither magic On east' coast fishermen well Into the (all, and one of the last great love feasts of the year is the Deep Sea Club's Full Moon Tour nament staged out at Montauk. This year, under the fullness of October's moon, we Joined the devotees gathering at the chill eastern tip of Long Island for one more encounter with striped bass. . We got out early on tournament day, trailering the Garcia Ambassadeur, Al's 19-foot Mako, along the narrow dunes high way that skirted the- sea. We hurried along and talked of the big cow stripers which run in the great fall migrations, and the thrill it would be to pick oft a 50-pounder. Ours was one of the first boats out, and as we passed the point of land we sighted a sure sign of stripers a school of threshing menhaden. We got busy right away with power ful Mitchell 486 saltwater spinning reels and medium action 7-foot Conolon rods and began casting surface swimming plugs in among the bait fish. Six school-size stripers hit our plugs and were boated before the baitflsh scattered. It became the afternoon's tempo a sighting of bait fish, quick, furious hitting by. schoolies, then the scattering. But no stripers of tournament size. In between sightings of baitfish, we spied haul-seiners in the distance, working the Inshore waters. With nets strung be tween trucks rolling along the beach and open boats limp ing along outside the surf,, the seiners blanketed the wat ers for striped bass. . We could only wonder l.n disgust when this reckless assault on the migrator' striper schools would kill oft" the species for sport fisher men for all time. We also wondered when the state would consent to designate this great game fish as a hook and line fish, as other east coast states have, already done. Al voiced our fears when he iiaid, "For a few dollars apiece, here are a handful of guys ripping apart these great schools. If the fish don't show up next year, what do you tell the 200,000 New York striper fishermen?" We dined leisurely that evening, and then with the rising of the moon went out again in the Ambassadeur. The moon was high and flooding the waters around us with its brilliance. We were filled with the anticipation that only the full moon brings to night fishing. Conditions are near daylight, and the fish are more secure. They're not spooked by the phosphores cent glimmers moving line and lures set up in otherwise pitch black water. The moonlight penetrates the water and good monofilament, like Bonnyl, seems again to disappear while unwary fish approach to attack attractive lures. We began trolling Alu plastic eelt on long lengths of 40 pound test Bonnyl leaders attached to wire line. We were using Mitchell 624 conventional reels and the heavy duty 6 toot Conolon wire trolling reds. Almos t at once we had action and. as the silvery forms were drawn' to boat-side we could discern the gill-to-tail body lines which spell striper. ' We had steady fishing until midnight, but couldn't take any thing above the 25-pound mark. The flsliing pressure from the' many near-by boats was intense, and the possibility was good that the big cow striper which would take the tournament would be boated this night. But we were shivering now In the cold and thought only of securing our me ss of fish at dockside and tramping indoors for a warming tod dy which is what tournaments are about, too.

County Weekly, Hertford, N. C, Thursdsy, February 19, 1970 - Page 3 Most parents would be shock ed if they thought their child was anemic. However, iron de ficiency is so common in in fants from about three to six months that it was considered normal for this age by doctors for many years. This situation is different today because most babies be gin eating solid foods by the time they are three months old. Most of the changes are due to the excellent prepared baby food. In spite o.' all these advances in the availability or Iron-containing foods, many modern Infants develop a considerable degree of anemia. One of two things are usually found re sponsible. Either the child does not eat well, or some In fection is causing trouble, A sick child will not eat enough food to meet the extra body needs created by illness.

Often all that Is needed is to persuade your child that there are other foods In addi tion to milk. Keep In mind that as Important a food as milk is, it is not a source of iron. Your child needs minerals he can get from meat, eggs, vegetables and cereals if he is to be well and happy.
