Annual Weed Control

A recent publication entitled Weed
Control in Small Grains should be re-
viewed briefly Most of the information
deals with chemical control, mainly the
use of 2,4-D, but the value of good clean
cultivation should not be underestimate
ed. In our dryland summerfallow
areas, cultivation is still recognized as
an efficient and economical means of
control. Basically, the control of an
nual and winter-annual and biennial
weeds is the prevention of the plants
from going to seed. Effective cultiva-
ton involves the use of the right type
of equipment for the area.
Weeds have been easiest to control
on fallow where the 0neway disc or
moldboard pillow was used for the first
operation. From the standpoint of ero-
sion control in some areas, the use of
the moldboard pillow may be questioned.
Small weeds are more difficult to con-
troll with sub-surface tillage tools, and
SO where machines with
type BLADE are uSeu. Inc
f1atsweeps fail to stir the soil enough.
A blade-type machine with definite
pitch or rise to its cutting blade will
stir the soil and result in more effec-
i've weed control. A rod weeder with
shovel attachments is good for cultivat-
ng subsurface TILED fallow. Where
straw has been worked into the soil,
he rod weeder will not work satisfac-
oriIy because of the tendency to clog
N straw.
The use of 2,4-D is advised in all
rain crops even moderately infested
With annual weeds. Keep in mind that
nnual weeds vary with respect to their
susceptibility to 2,4-D. AS an example,
lid sunflower and wild buckwheat are
onsidered to be semi-tolerant to 2,4-D
injury. Consequently, we can say that
ney; and certain other broadleaved
reeds, are on the increase. The ten
ency of farmers is to use as little 2,4-D
er acre as possible-It's only natural |

Soils and Crops
Chemicals Plus
THlage Needed
By ARTHUR F. SHAW

JUST 2.15 ACRES is the present share
each of us has of Americas crop land.
That is, each of us is dependent on the
production from that area of land for
major portion of our food and clothing
needs. BY 1875 our shares will be down
to 1.8 acres-and they will continue to
shrink. AS our population increases.
our land resources will remain subStan-
TALLY the same.
just 20 years from now, how can our
acres produce, as they must, 0ne-fifth
more when today they are producing at
record level? dare say they can and
they will It will require more con-
scientious planning for the future than
has been required in the past. Why?
Because mechanization, along with nu-
merous other advances, has increased
the cost of farm operations. In addi-
ton, farm organization and planning
has become more complicated. So we
are charged with the responsibility of
determining the logical use of the right
combination of farming practices fitted
to each piece of cropland This means
a critical analysis of past years oper-
ations-and gearing them for the future.
But there is more to planning than
just immediate farm operations. Are
the needs, desires and ambitions of the
entire family taken into consideration?
In other words, are there planned objec-
tives and is the way being paved to
get there? The family, as a board of
directors, meets in the home three times
a day. What better organization could

A TIMELY WARNING
AGAINST BEGGARS
NOT AUTHORIZED

During the month of March IL
censes were granted to ten organ
izations by the State Board of
Public Welfare to conduct fund
raising campaigns through public
solicitations for the support of
their programc it was ann )un:ed
yesterday by DR.. Ellen Winston,
Commissioner.
Nine of these organizations
were re-licensed in accordance
with provisions of the State Soil
citation Law. They were the
United Jewish Appeal with head
quarters in New York City; the
American Legion Auxiliary, De-

Kiwanis Club of Raleigh; the
North Carolina Chapter, American
War Mothers at Raleigh; the
North Carolina Division, United
Daughters of the Confederacy at
Wilmington; and Peace College at
Raleigh.
The North Carolina Congress of
Parents and Teachers with head
quarters at Gibsonville received
license to solicit for the first time.
The total amount these ten or
CARNATIONS are seeking from the
public at large is $4,000.
It was also announced that the

Last Spring, just about this
time, there was a great run of

with me one day Gandee and Bell
Robinson, a professional fishing
guide, spotted about an acre of
the large drum fish, on the Ocra-
coke side of the channel.
The two fishermen hit the
beach on the second bounce and
before the plane stopped rolling,
they each had one on their lines.

Hatteras and CanaveraI-
THESE TWO cAPES HAVE SOMETHING
IN COMMON
By AYCoCK BROWN

Although they are hundreds of
miles apart, Cape Canaveral, To-
Gated midway between Jackson
vile and Miami, and Cape Hat
teras, about halfway between
Boston and Florida, have some
thing in, common. Each are 10
nautical miles from the inner
edge of the Gulf Stream.
AS a result, Cape Hatteras, now
the center of attraction for
Americas first oceanside National
Seashore Recreational Area ex-
tending along the North Carolina
outer banks from Mays Head to
Ocracoke Inlet has a Florida-like
climate in which citrus fruit
thrives, although not commercial
ly. The natives call it a "Gulf
Stream climate" and whether
the warmish ocean river of blue
water travelling northeastward
from the Outer Diamond off this
Cape at a Az knot clip actually
tempers the climate, some say it
does not, the fact remains that
during the months of autumn and
until Christmas residents were
gathering oranges, grapefruit,
tangerines, and lemons from trees
they have planted in their yards.
The Atlantic coastal region has
just experienced an abnormally
cold winter, but here on Cape Hat
teras there was only a trace of
non-sticking snow, the first in
several years. And now, with
early Spring, the citrus trees are
budding again and by early April
will be in blossom. At the same
time the maritime woodlands of
the Cape region, the only forest
remaining on Hatteras Island will
be a colorful blaze of multi-color-
ed wild flowers with impressive
splotches of dogwood. With it's
sub-tropical vegetation, some
folks describe the Cape Hatteras
Woods as great undeveloped
garden.
Until very recent years, the
roadless Outer Banks were so
isolated that few perons from the
outside world ever visited the

DEATON SEES GREAT
DEVELOPING THIS
YEAR AT HIS DELRAY
Kill Devil Hills Property Owner.
Now in Second Year Of De-
VeIoping Property. Ex-
poets Big Season

w. R. Deaton, Kill Devil Hills
and Greensboro resident, and de-
veloper of the section in Kill Devil
Hills known as Delray Beach, re-
Gently predicted increasingly good
business for all. In his comments,
he pointed to the sale of several
lots already this year in the west
side development just north of
the Wright Memorial. "And these
sales were made with no effort"
stated Deaton.
Delray beach was divided into
large building lots, streets paved,
model beach homes were built,
and several hundred lots were
made ready for sale last year. This
year, looking toward bigger sea-
son, the owner has begun paving
more streets and building several
additional homes on the property.
Paved walks and streets to the
ocean lead from the Development.
Moonlight Enterprises of Muir
freesboro, large BODYBUILDING
firm, is associated in building
homes for the property buyers.
They are now constructing several
of the National homes, which they
will construct anywhere in this
area. Conventional-type homes
will also be built to your specifi-
cations. This organization has won
quite a reputation for home
building at moderate prices,
especially through the northeast
ern section of North Carolina.
Equipped with complete shops
plumbing, heating, construction,
etc., they are prepared to handle
any job.
Deaton, in boosting his property
sales, says: eve believe this is
the finest development on the
Atlantic coast" And he can offer
many reasons for saying this; and
invites all to inspect this new
development.

as to who had a-hold of whom,
Gandee or the fish. After l land

weighed IA pounds, 1 walked on
down the beach to meet Jim. He
was walking back with a sort of
peculiar look on his face. Think

Lose him, nothin', Gandee said,

1t tipped the scales at 48 pounds.
To get closer to his beloved

area. The region was often called
North Cardinals "lost provinces. !"
But the State finally discovered
her unusual outer coast, built a
modern all-paved highway from
Mays Head to Hatteras and es-
tablished modern toll-free ferries
at Oregon Inlet, the water-link of
the unusual route which parallels
the ocean. The highway and ferry
system has paid off in tourist
patronage. Last year from early
May when Cape Hatteras Nation
al Seashore began operations,
through December, approximately
10000 persons visited the recrea-
tional areas section south of
Oregon Inlet.
Except for the south Florida
coast, the Gulf Stream flows
closer to land at Cape Hatteras
and Cape Canaveral than any
where else along the Atlantic
coast. AS a result of the "Gulf-
Stream-tempered climate, this
section of North Cardinals Outer
Banks, with more frost-free days
than anywhere else in the State
is zoned agriculturally with the
upper-half of Florida. Both Capes
are very fortunate, Canaveral has
highly developed Florida and Hat
teras has Cape Hatteras National
Seashore Recreational Area.
