The “early birds” among North
Carolina tobacco growers have al
ready prepared plant bed sites
for the 1973 crop. These growers,
the experts believe, are most like
ly to have the best supply ol
plants and be able to transplant
on time.

James R. Lewis, son of Mr. and

During his six weeks at the

The airman has been assigned

"We usually have enough
plants to go around,” he said,
"but many growers often over
look the fact that a late start
and Inadequate planning many
times result in late transplant
ing.”
Fall is the best time to get
things started. The weather us,
better than it .will be later into

Dr. Collins pointed out u...£
methyl bromide is the most ef
fective plant bed treatment. The
bed site should be thoroughly pre
pared before the gas is applied
This includes removing crop resi

ing it out to remove all clods.
One benefit is creativity. The
little things you do to the house
yourself make it individual—dis
tinctly yours. Renovated, restyled
or refinished furniture gives you
the chance to see your own plans
and ideas come to life.
Another is education. You can
learn new skills while contribut
ing to the beauty and livability
of your home.
Another benefit is economic. By
refinishing and restying old or
discarded furniture, you can save
dollars that could go a long'way
toward 'buying fabrics, paint and
accessories for 'beautifying your
home.
A fourth benefit is recreation.
Reworking old furniture can be
an interesting hobby, a family
project or a way to earn extra
money..
Another benefit is the preser
vation of family tradition and
heritage. You can restore family
heirlooms that have had a great
deal of sentimental value at
tached to them.
telephone manager, announced
that scientists at Beil Labs have
been granted a patent for a sys
tem of automatic speaker veri-
lication. A voice sample of a per
son is recorded using several I'e-
petitions of the same phrase. The
characteristics, including reson
ant frekuencies, voice pitch and
intensity are comioined and then
stored in a computer’s memory
along with measurements of var-
itjility in the scve-al utterances.
Moore said that in operation,
which so far has been experimen
tal, an applicant gives his name
through a microphone or tele
phone to the computer and re
peats the recorded phrase. The
computer then compares it with
the original voice sample and de
cides whether they are sufficient
ly close to establish that thd-
speaker is the same.
It has been reported than an
1972 Ford wagon with Indiana
license plates, is operating in
North Carolina. Mr. Dameron
said that and landowner in Cleve
land County receiving a proposal
for controlling Southern Pine
'beetles should contact him or
Mr. Ivester before making any
commitments.
The only effective control pro
gram is to clean-out the infected
area. Landowners who need as
sistance in determining what
trees to cut should contact the
County Forester’s Office or the
County Extension Office.

But the first task, and one of
the most important, is selecting
the plant bed site itself. “Locat
ing the ibed site has a lot to do
with whether plants come along
when field conditions are ready
for transplanting,” Collins said.
Coarse, well drained soil is I
needed. The site should be slight
ly sloped to the south. “Even a
very slight southern exposure
will result in much earlier
plants,” the NCSU specialist said.
"This is very important.”
Windbreaks around the bed
can be important, also. Cold, dry
ing winds in March can cause
plant loss “and be a real prob
lem.”
Two other factors that should
be taken into consideration in
selecting a plant bed site are
water supply and convenience.
Collins believes growers should
provide themselves with extra
“insurance” by locating the plant
bed near a source of irrigation
water. "The need for irrigating
is often overlooked during the
winter period when it is usually-
wet, but irrigation is desirable
during most seasons,” the special
ist said.
Locating the plant bed for con
venience means putting it in a
i place where the grower can keep
an eye on it from day to day.
I He needs to see the bed frequent-
'y to ibe sure the bed cover is
intact, for example, or to be sure
no insect problem is building up.
