PLANT ROSE
BUSHES NOW

Plant bare-rooted rose bushes in
January or early February, sug-
gests Harvey F. Tate, extension
horticulturiSt at the University of
Arizona.
Later planting is apt to stimu-
late top growth rather than root
growth, Sudden death to the roses
is often caused in summer by the
late planting even though the
roses apparently made good start
in the spring.
Most Arizona soils are too aka
line and too deficient in humas
for best results with roses. It's
best to spade in well-rotted ma
nure or other organic nratter-to.
which has been added agricultural
sulphur at the rate of one pound
per cube foot of manure. Sulphur
should be evenly mixed into the
manure.
Individual holes should be two
feet in diameter and IL to 2 feet
deep. In beds, the soil should be
worked for a depth of Is to Is
inches.
Heavy--clay or adobe-soils may
have poor drainage and poor aera-
ton. Lighter soils are often under
laid with caliche or hardpan, which
may also cause poor drainage.
Rose roots will die in soil that is
constantly too wet. Good roses can
be raised in two feet of soil, pro-
viding that they have good drain
age.

This shocked me, as he and Joyce

bring up the subject as an issue,
but only limited. But it set me to
wondering.

DISEASE CONTROL WORK

of Animal Industry. The 1865
State Farm Census is now in
progress.
in order to successfully plan
any line of disease control work
it is essential that we have the
necessary information enabling us
to formulate our procedures that
it might be done properly, success
fully, and economically, Husman
says.
AS one example he points out
that should an epidemic appear

is necessary to determine just
how many animals are involved,

have given it further thought. To
the contrary, through the years, |
liked Belhaven. 1t was an attrac-
tive town to me, and so were near
ly all it's people. Like many Bel
haven people too, l like to cling
to the dream that there is a new
day dawning for the town when
renewed economic energy will en-
liven it's many activities.
1t was therefore with much
pleasure that l read last week IN
The State of Raleigh, a tribute to
Fred Latham from the pen of DR..
Sylvester Green, long an executive
of the Medical Care Commission
and now with Wake Forest Col
lege. Here is his tribute:
"A false balance is abominatiOn
to the Lord: but just weight is
his delight. - Proverbs ii
GLOW can the life of man be
appraised Surely there are a few
basic characteristics that make
one individual tower above others
around him.
"There must be an honesty of
conviction, willingness to stand
up for what is right, an intelll-
gence to make logical the APP
proach to progress and the final
winsomeness that makes man q
friend of all good causes. These
things count, and they count
nightly.
"a few miles east of the fine
little town of Belhaven there lives
such a man, known and respected
for more than three-score years
as a studious, energetic advocate
of good farming, good health for
his community, good schools for
the community's children-and the
list could be much longer.
"That man is Mr.. Fred P.
Latham. Numerous assignments
by his states leaders have used
his talents through the years, and
to each task he has given that
same distinguished leadership ana
friendship that goes with conse-
Grafton and wisdom.
"Mr. Latham is ranked as Beau
fort County's most prominent cit
izen, and the old proverb tells why
ia false balance is an abomina-
tion-but a just weight is his de-
light" North Carolina could al
ways use men whose weight as
Mr.. Latham's is pledged to the ad-
vance of noble causes"
I have been happy and fortunate
in the friendship and encourage
ment of Fred Latham, who is now
"a years old. And so have many
others.

WORK EXPERIENCE is
SPECIAL CENSUS TOPIC

Special questions, designed to
provide information on the annual
work experience of the Nations
population, will be asked in the
January Current Population Sur
vey, according to Supervisor
Clinton C. Oldham of the u. S.
Census Bureaus district office at
Charlotte, N. C.
The work experience question
will provide information on how
many people were regular full
time workers throughout 1854,
how many were seasonal workers,
and how many worked the greater
part of the year but only at part
time jobs. Additional questions
covering migration and major
source of income will be asked of
farm wage workers.
The special questions in the
January Current Population Sur
vey are in addition to the regular
questions on employment and I'm
employment. The Current Popuia-
ton Survey will be conducted in
Hyde County and 229 other Sec
tions of the country during the
week of January 10. Current Pop
ulation Survey interviews are
made locally by Mrs. Alva G. Wise
of Stumpy Point, N. C.

LITTLE THINGS MEAN A LOT

Going on So years ago, | first
visited Belhaven to write up an
agricultural fair for the Elizabeth
City Independent. This fair was
under the leadership of Fred
Latham of Belhaven. 1t was
about my second meeting with
Mr.. Latham who had previously
been to Elizabeth City to invite
some of us down to the fair,
which had its headquarters in the
city hall.
l came in on a train from
Mackeys, and stopped in the
Carolina Hotel which was then
operated by Dan Miles, and his
father. l strolled about the town
and visited it's lovely waterfront,
and the lonely Wilkinson mansion
sitting off to itself at one end of
town. heard the hum of saw-rills
and the blast of the noon whistles.
I viewed many astounding agricul-
tural and livestock products. l was
provided with goo' food, which
included choice fish and oysters.
Naturally l was most favorably
impressed by Belhaven.
But above all / was impressed
by Fred P. Latham, dynamic,
wizened man, sharp on business
but a man of the soil and devoted
to pipe and cud. There never was
one like him and we may never
see another when he has gone on.
At any rate, my contact with Fred
Latham, left me with pleasant
memories of Belhaven through
the years.
After we got into the publish
ing business in the Hyde County
area, we found Belhaven mer-
chants among our best supporters.
AS the result of many visits to
the community, where we found
the same friendly spirit prevail
ing, we decided to launch the Bel
haven Pilot in this town. Again we
fornd fine encouragement from
Fred Latham's son Harry, and his
grandsons, Vann and Charles,
among the many other people of
the community who were anxious
for a paper to advocate Belhaven's
advantages.
Little things count a lot, and
had it not been for that first
favorable impression of Belhaven
through its champion exponent of
the day, Fred Latham, | mightn't

Sunlight and shadows bring out
the texture of the snow and add
appeal to your pictures. Don't just
snap a picture and let it 60 at that.
Look over your snowy landscape
in the viewfinder of your camera
a.. . look at it from various angles,
to see what forms the best picture.
Concentrating on what is framed
in the viewfinder is important
just as in any type of scenic shot.
If you shoot too fast, you may be
disappointed. You may expect the
camera to see everything that you
saw with your eyes-and it can't,
not all in one picture. Your eyes
move, sweep the scene. The cam
era's eye doesn't. 1t sees just ex-
actly what you can see in the
viewfnder. Keep that in mind and
make beautiful snow pictures this
year.

SEVERAL STATES
ROSE AND FELL
IN EARLY DAYS
Six Started Out in United
States That Fell BY
Wayside

Washington. - States named
Franklin, jefferson, Deseret, New
Connecticut, Kanawha, and Sus-
quehannah might exist today, had
history taken different turns.
These were all once would-be
States or territories, the National
Geographic Society says. Today
they lie buried on forgotten maps
of Americas early years.
The State of Franklin, for one,
had governor, constitution,
courts, and capital in the noun
tains of what is now northeast
Tennessee. Set up at JoneSboro in
1884 when North Carolina gave
over her western land to Federal
protection, Franklin Tor five years
knocked vainly at the Nations
door for admission.
COOnskin Republic
Even earlier, settlers along the
Watauga, Nolichucky, Holston,
and French Broad Rivers had
formed a homespun government
called the Watauga Association.
Neither Watauga nor Franklin
was destined to survive. Franklin,
the coonskin republic, was official
ly superseded by the Territory
South of the River Ohio"
John Sevier-"Nolichucky Jack"
Franklin's first and only govern
or, a decade later became the first
governor of the State of Tennessee.
In 1859, miners around Pixies
Peak formed a Territory of JEFF
ferson" and sent a delegate to
Congress-. During the next two
years jefferson incorporated the
City of Denver and set many land
titles. Then Congress gave it a
new name: Colorado,
Deseret lasted longest of all.
Organized in 1849 by the Mormons
at Salt Lake City, the proposed
territory embraced vast area ex-
tending from the Rockies to the
Sierra Nevada-plus even strip
of Pacific coast near San Diego.
Congress rejected the name
chosen by the Latter-day Saints
and established much smaller
Territory of Utah in 1859. Again
in 1851 however. the MOrmOnS
founded Estate of Deseret." Its
ghost government met and passed
laws for nine years while waiting
in vain for recognition. A stone
'ablet bearing Deseret's name in
the Washington Monument is one
Of its few physical reminders to-
day.
Lost Names
New Connecticut was the first
name proposed for their State by

the settlers of Vermont. A delegate
representing New Connecticut ira
veled to the Continental Congress
in Philadelphia in 1875.
During the Civil War Congress
was petitioned to recognize a new
State of Kanawha. 1t was formed
by Virginia's western Counties
that refused to secede. Popular
vote a few months later changed
the name to West Virginia.
Susquehannah was State en-
visioned by the fiery John Frank
lin, to be carved from northeast
Pennsylvania by settlers from
Connecticut. Three Yankee-Penna-
mite Wars were fought between
1869 and 1856 over disputed land
claims before they We're settled.
There were other names. Tran
sylvania was an abortive govern
ment set up by the land company
that bought present-day Kentucky
and middle Tennessee from the
Cherokee. The present State of
Louisiana was formed from the
Territory of Orleans, whose name
survives only in that of a city.
By a Franch charter, New Eng
land would have been namd Aca-
dia New York and New Jersey

lower Delaware River established
New Sweden long before William
