More than 10,000 miles of county roads have been hardsurfaced In North Carolina with funds from the 1200,000,000 secondary road bond Issue. Official figures, released today by Highway Chairman Henry W. Jordan, showed that the State Highway Commission has com pleted almost 84 percent of the 12,000-mile secondary j ?*vlng goal set by Governor Scott when the bond Issue was approved by the voters of North Carolina in the 1949 referendum. A total of 225.1 miles of secon dary roads were paved during the first three months of 1952, bringing the total milage hard: surfaced under the bond program to 10,061.6. Chairman Jordan pointed out that Inclement weath er during January, February and March had delayed a great deal of the paving projects on rural roads'. A total of 4,025.5 miles of secondary roads were paved in 1951; another' 4,554.6 miles were paved In 1950. and 1,256.8 miles Were paved in 1949, the first year of t he $200,000,000 secondary road program. These figures do not include paving on primury highways or other projects not included in the secondary road program,, nor do they cover resurfacing or widen ing of secondary roads; The paving goal had been ex ceeded in 29 counties by March 31.

North Carolina manufactures about 13 million gallons of ice cream each year. It is a well-known fact that the early tomato blossom* or blos som clusters often fall to set fruit. This may be due to a number of factors but Is usually due to cool temperatures early In the growth season, when the first two clus ters of blossoms appear. It has been found that applica tions of certain plants hormones tp the blossoms will cause fruit to set. In many cases these fruits are seedless or almost seedless. Experiments have shown that, In the cases of tomatoes, It is on ly worth-while to spray the hor mone on the first two or three clusters. These hormones are now available at any seed store under various trade names. They should be used according to the direc tions given by the manufacturer; otherwise they may cause dam age or heavy wrinkling of the to mato fruits. The material should be sprayed on the open blossoms with an ato mizer or fine sprayer. Since all the blossoms on a cluster do not open at one time It will require at least two applications for each cluster.
