Raper Warns Against Poor Quality Seed

Cheap seed can be quite expen-
sive to Columbus County growers
and good many Columbus Coun-
ty farmers will find that some of
the Lespedeza seed that they have
recently purchased that has been
peddled out through the county
by some farmers from the Pied
mont area and those who bought
seed at an auction sale recently
will be quite disappointed in the
quality Of seed that they purchas-
ed. A number Of the State Depart
ment Of Agriculture who inspects
seed in this area reports this week
that Lespedeza seed was being
peddled to farmers and a quantity
of seed was sold at auction in the
county this week that was of poor
quality, extremely low germina-
ton plus the fact that many Of
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1954-02-17

seed always look on the tag to see
what they are buying because
johnson grass, wild radish, wild
mustard, and other noxious seeds
must be listed on the tag according
to law. Also the tag must show
the termination and the purity of
the seed being sold.
Columbus County farmers would
do well to follow the ideas and
practice that the Dutch have fol-
lowed for years because the farm
ers in Holland did not have land
to waste on poor crops. The dutch
have made it impossible for farm
erS to buy or sell poor seed. In
Holland all seed must be certified
and field inspected. The seed
growers are licensed and nothing
but the best seed can be sold thro-
ugh stores and any other form of
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1954-02-17

exchange. A farmer in Holland =
allowed to plant his own seed but
he is not allowed to sell common
seed even to another farmer.
This practice in Holland accounts
Tor the extremely high yields that
those farmers get for their crops.
Therefore we strongly suggest that
farmers who have bought poor
quality seed think twice before
putting them in the ground.

New Peach Variety
Soon to Be Available

Outstanding for its bright red
gold color and firm flesh. and
especially suited to the Pacific
Coast area is the new peach vari-
ETY. called Redglobe. It was de
yeloped by the u s. Department
Of Agriculture in cooperation with
state and Federal experiment sta
tons and has been released for
propa cation by nurserymen Lin
tied quantities of Redglobe trees
should be available for planting
by late 1855 and fruit from the
new variety should appear on the
market three or four years later
High-colored. frm-heshed peach
es are often hard to get from Wig
orous- growing trees, especially
with trees under the irrigation
systems common to western grow
ing areas. Agricultural Research
Service horticulturists report that
Redglobe was given particularly
good results when tested in Cali
tornia and Washington and also
showed promise in experiments
In Texas and Michigan.
Redglobe trees are productive
and vigorous with large, SETTER
tile blossoms. The new peach is
suitable for areas where liberia
peach is grown 1t requires about
the same winter temperatures as
liberia, but ripens about IS days
earlier.

Food for our servicemen is
the best Uncle Sam can buy. as
shown In this Navy photo. Army,
which has tougher problem than
Navy where cold storage is con-
cerned, hopes to find way to use
atomic by-products in preserv-
ing meats.
OF the meat that develops off
favors-such as protein or carbo-
hydrates--and whether a com
pound such as vitamin c might
lower these changes. Much of the
work has been done with Off
f1avors OF foods sterilized by ac-
celerators. X-ray machines and
low intensity fission sources.
Food technologists explain that
some foods used by the military
lose favor, nutritional value or
appeal when they are canned or
dehydrated. Irridation Of meat is
being considered as a way to pre-
serve it and yet keep the appear
ance, taste and food value Of raw
meat. Many different cuts Of beef
and pork are to be used in the
experiments.
H. w. Schultz, head Of the food
technology department. is coordi-
mating research. He explains that
gamma rays, which have great
penetrating power, sterilize not
only the. surface Of the meat but
60 entirely through it.

LESSON FOR TABOR CITY
Resignation of Tabor City's
police chief because of an incident
that grew out of the chiefs failure
to promptly turn over to the town
clerk a fine he had collected
should give the town board i'm
petus in placing the towns fine
collecting on a more busineSS-like
basis.
Under Tabor City's system, a
person arrested for speeding or
other minor charges may plead
guilty and pay his fine without
going to court if the defendant
appears before the chief and the
chief telephone the mayor or solic-
itor about the transaction.
In this case, the chief collected
the fine and gave the defendant
a receipt for his speeding fine
without telephoning the mayor or
other proper authorities. After a
complaint had been made, III
turned over the fine, to the town
clerk with the explanation that it
had been misplaced.
An officer having authority to
collect fines should be prompt in
placing them in the hand of the
proper town official, but town
operating under such a system
can assume part of the response
bility when subordinate fine col
lectors tail to handle such funds
in proper manner.
Tabor City should change its
system and allow fines to be COL
lected only in the court after a de-
PENDANT is tried. If person vio-
lateS the law the court is the only
place for proper disposition of his
case. The privilege of being able
to submit 10 Il police chief without
appearing in court may give the
defendant pleading guilty to the
chief the IDEA that he could re-
ceive the same consideration if he
violated a law more serious than
speeding. The practice is also con-
ducive to pleas of guilty by inno-
cent persons in order to avoid
the inconvenience of appearing in
court.
Tabor City should act now to
avoid similar incidents in the fu-
ture.
