Water Weed Control
aromatic SOIvents Clear Out
Canals Quickly and CheopIy
By JERRY LESTER, Roofing Reporter

fective. The spray guns are held in
the water for from Is minutes to a
half-hour depending on the degree
of infestation in the vicinity.
Weeds Disintegrate
The black liquid chemical turns the
water a milky white. The water
weeds were mostly duck grass, with
long stringers floating on the water
surface. Effect of the chemical is to
turn the grass brown and the stems
white, after which it begins to dis
integrate and float down the canals
with the water.
And does it really work? George
says that the first year the chemical
was used on their ditch, 90 percent
kill of the duck grass was obtained.
This application was made just after
July 4 when the weeds were still
young and comparatively small. Last
year, however, the application wasn't
made until after Aug. l. The weeds
were tougher and had stringers or
6 feet long floating down the ditch.
This difference in timing George
thinks was responsible for a less eff
fective job Of killing.
Cost 500 for IL Miles
The cost for treating the 12-mile
long canal was 500 for the aromatic
solvents in liquid form. The price
was so cents per gallon, and 100 gall
Ions were used to do the job. Effects
Of the treatment were seen about 10
days after treatment the first year
and not until at least two weeks after
treatment the second year.
The job has to be done each year,
as the chemical just kills the new
plant growth each time and not the
roots. But there is no question about
worth of the chemical when con
trasted with the $3.50 to 5000 spent
in time Of the ditch owners wading
in water up to their necks to cut out
these weeds. Many methods were
tried, including such things as drag
ging harrow through the ditch bot
tom but nothing would get rid of the
weeds.
With the new one-day job, the
weeds are eliminated, leaving thu
canal capable of carrying full LOAF
of water. And the irrigation waite
is reduced for only short time dur
ing this usually critical dry period.

WHO is RESPONSIBLE
(Laurinburg Exchange)

Who is responsible for the low
state of public morality in the
country? Some will say it is Mr..
Truman and his Democratic ad-
ministration, long entrenched in
power at Washington. Others will
say it is the people who get about
what they demand in their public
servants. Both views are correct,
and taken together maybe account
for the low state of public and
private morality in the United
States today.
But putting it on Mr.. Truman,
or putting it on the people, is like
Cain who asked the question, Am
my brothers keeper? Mr.. Truman
as the titled leader of his party
and the people of the United
States is no less responsible for
the standards of conduct he de-
mands in his associates than if the
people did not exist; and likewise
the people are in no way to be abb
solved from blame for the low
state of public morality.
The powers that be could clean
house if they wanted to, but they
will be slow to move as long as
the people are Indifferent. And the
sad facts are that too many of us
are Indifferent. Saturated with
prosperity and obessed with the
idea that the sole aim and end of
life is to get all we can, by fair
means or otherwise, and to eat,
drink and be merry, we pay little
more than lip service to truth and
the principles of Christian moral
ity upon which our country was
founded.
Our standards are flexible and
adaptable to our own prejudices
but the laws of God are immuta-
bic and memorable. 1t is dangerous
to triffle with them.

PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY.

There are no doubt many Sunday School classes in
this vicinity doing lot of good work, and glad to
hear of them wish them WE'LL and wish to give them credit
Such class exists the Mems Bible Glass of the Wanchese
Methodist Church. which last week celebrated with its
nua turkey dinner gave the preacher generous old fash
toned pounding" and with group singing, and many
speeches went long to keep the class members popped
up with a liberal dose of good fellowship
We are glad to mento nthis class because have
heard of many things has done For instance, has
given literally many of sudden need that has con-
fronted people least able to pay for disqualification main
what is called jug fund.- supported from separate
collection each Sunday and this fund used only for
poses of special need.
The class raised funds paint the church, has
bought church carpet paid for cleaning the grounds and
has done many other things that often undone at
churches for lack and sufficient interest Aogeth-
err deserve especial mention for the good
pie it sets of practical Christianity"

If census takers could count
every duck in North America, il
J is likely that they would find more
Mallards than any other kind
There are tame ones on farms and
wild ones living in most parts OF
the continent.
Wild Mallayds spend their sum-
mers from Alaska to Greenland
and south as far as California and
Virginia. In the winter, they live
in the southern half of the United
States, and down into Mexico and
Central America.
With the change of seasons,
great fiocks of them take to the
air. They make good time on their
journeys, says the National Wild
life Federation, because they can
fly up to sixty miles an hour.
While beating their strong
wings, they watch for pools or
lakes of fresh water where they
, can live and find food. In the wa
ter they get mosquito larvae, in
sects, snails, and shellfish. Around
the edges they feed on the seeds
and stems of plants.
Among the weeds and bushes
near the water, the Mallards build
nests of leaves and grass, with
Innings of dark gray down. When
her nesting place is ready, the fe-
male lays from six to thirteen
large eggs The eggs may be light
greenish or gray-brown.
After she sits on them for 26 to
% days, the eggs hatch. The baby
ducklings, covered with soft yell
low down, quickly learn to walk
and swim.
AS they grow, the young birds
begin to look more and more like
their parents. The females are
mostly brown, with marks of
black. They have dull yellow bills
ana teet.
The males have green heads and
necks, white collars, and purple
brown breasts. They are light
gray underneath and darker on
their backs, with a touch of blue
in their wings. Their bills, are
yellow and their legs and feet are
orange.
Mallards grow to be about 2e
inches long. They weigh between
31a and a pounds. The females are
slightly smaller than the males.
According to the National Wild
life Federation, they are among
our most valuable wild ducks.

wildlife species can be obtained by

WASHINGTON PAPER GIVES
SUPPORT FOR BRIDGES
Washington Daily News)

In the coastal counties to the
East of Beaufort strong senti-
ment" continues for the bridging
of Alligator River and Croatan
Sound, according to reports from
the annual meeting of the ALI
gator Croatan Bridge Association
in Columbia.
The association is relatively
new group carrying on an old
battle which the Southern Abe
marie Association, embracing
Hyde, Washington, Tyrrell and
Dare Counties, has been carrying
on for more than Is years, we are
told. But, though it is young, it is
said to be joining other groups in
exerting strong influence for these
projects.
Bridges across these two bodies
of water are wanted badly by the
people of the coastland area,
especially in Tyrrell, Dare and
Hyde Counties where development
Of larger tourist business, the
building of the numbering bust
ress, the marketing of farm crops
and seafood is so vitality affected,
we are told.
1t is easy to see why these
bridges mean so much to these
neighbors. Their economy and
their community ties are affected.
In their call for assistance, The
Daily News thinks that Beaufort
and neighboring counties to the
west would do well to consider
doing everything possible to help
these neighbors. Certainly it would
build good will with the 80 or 40
thousand people in that nearby
area.
The bridging of these two
bodies of water would be a major
undertaking and would cost sew
eraI millions of dollars. And Gov
ernor Kerr Scott is in all likelihood
right in saying that it will be a
good while before the work will
be done.
Because of the large expenditure
required the projects take on the
nature of statewide importance.
And perhaps other Tar Heel pro-
jects are more important on this
basis, as some who view the issue
on a statewide basis are reported
to contend.
But if that is the case do not
the affected counties have the right
to ask if delay which stymies prog
ress in their section does not re-
tard the state as a whole? And
on that basis should not the job
be done now?
Certainly there are many good
arguments for early bridging of
the Alligator and Croatan. And
the Daily News will be glad to see
these neighbors see their dreams
come true

HUNTER DIES
AFTER PLUNGE
ATLEECHVILLE
Retired Rocky Mount Bust
ness Man Drives Off Into
River Near Bridge

Thirty hours after his car
plunged into the river at the
Leechville bridge, Robert C. Hen
ry, SO, of, Rocky Mount died Thurs
day night of last week of internal
injuries.
The body was taken to Rocky
Mount for funeral services.
Mr.. Henry, retired manager of
the Swift plant in Rocky Mount,
was on his way to Hyde County
late Wednesday afternoon to hunt.
Instead of making the turn on to
the Leechville bridge, his car
went straight ahead, plunging in
to more than six feet of water. 1t
turned around in the air, so that
when it landed some 10 feet from
the shore it was headed back to-
ward Belhaven.
The car was completely covered
by water until the tide went out,
but people in the neighborhood got
Mr.. Henry out before he lost con-
seriousness. He was taken by am
bulance to Pungo District Hospital
in Belhaven, where he died the
following night His wife and
daughter brought a special nurse
with them from Rocky Mount.
Mr.. Henry said that as he was
approaching the curve at the west
side of the bridge he met string
of three automobiles with lights
which blinded him. The tragedy
occurred about $50 in the after
noon of dark, damp day and driv-
ers were using lights at that time.
Another theory advanced is that
Mr.. Henry recognized the symp-
toms of heart attack coming on
and attempted to pull off the road.
His wife told officers that he was
subject to sudden heart attacks,
but in the past had been able to
park before such a seizure.
Because he was in ill health,
Mrs, Henry had tried to persuade.
her husband not to make the trip
by himself. He not only had
heart ailment but was also a dia-
bette, who could have had insulin
shock, an investigating officer
said.
Mr.. Henry, who had a cottage
at Bayview, frequently came to
this section. A year or more ago he
was hunting in the woods near
Bayview, became lost and a posse,
searching for him, did not find him
for a number of hours.
Gov. Kerr Scott, who had been
hunting in Hyde County, came
through Leechville shortly after
the accident. Passing through Bel
haven, his car stopped while his
chauffeur notified John G. Thomas
of the Highway Patrol of the ira
gedy. Although Leechville is not
in his territory, Mr.. Thomas went
there at once to cooperate with
D. A. Rouse of Swan Quarter,
patrolman in whose territory
Leechville is.
