The County Agents Column Leaf Gall Diseases on Azaleas And Camellias Among the rash of disease and insect problems which may plague the azalea or camellia grower this time of year are leaf gall disease. “These diseases usually hit as soon as the plant begins making new vegetative growth” says R. K. Jones, Clemson Ex tension Pathologist. “They an not particularly damaging, us ually they won’t kill the plant and control is relatively simple if the grower does not have too many plants.” On azaleas, the first symp toms are FLESHY, light green to pink galls on the new leaf growth. They become chalky white with fungal spores and later turn a dark brown and become hard. For control, the galls should be handpicked as soon as they appear in the spring. Where the disease is severe each year, fungicidal sprays are effective —but they must be applied immediately to new leaf growth and to newly-formed leaves. For camellias, the first sym ptom of the gall disease are fleshy, tongue-like develop ments on new leaves. The skir on the underside of affected leaves ruptures and peels off after about 12 days to expose whitish masses of funga 1 spores. Eventually the galleo leaves wither and die. The only control is to hand pick or prune the affected leaves before the leaf skin rup tures. Picking the leaves after the fungal spores are scattered is too late.

Inspection of autos accepted by public Public acceptance of the new motor vehicle safety in spection program has been ex cellent, according to the State Highway Department, with 7,419 vehicles undergoing in spection in the first six weeks of operation. William H. Kay, director of the program, reported the in spection total today and added, “I am really pleased with the acceptance of this program. Everything has been going ex ceptionally well. The inspection stations have been making thorough inspections and they have been submitting reports promptly. ” As of April 26, there were- 802 official inspection stations licensed and in business in the state. All are private businesses such as automobile agencies, garages, and service stations, except for a few fleet opera tors such as municipalities. Also, there are 425 more sta tions being processed which will be added to the approved list shortly. Inspection stations are locat ed in each county of the state with numerous stations in some of the more populous counties. Total cost of repairs made to vehicles found defective among the 7,419 tested from February 14 thru March 31 was $15,460,- 76. This averages $2.09 per vehicle.

It could mean no payments at all. “The risk is too great,” Mr. Bagwell says, “and the best and safest plan is for the worker to give his correct social security number to his employer the first day he goes to work on a new job.” Social Security account num ber cards, as well as duplicates of those that have been lost, may be obtained without charge at Ithe social security office. The Greenwood office is at 219 Magnolia Avenue. Your Social Security “Some workers in this area stand to lose valuable security protection for themselves and their families because they fail to give their social security numbers to their employers.” This warning comes from Car lisle Bagwell, District Social Security Manager. According to Mr. Bagwell, social security payments are based on earnings covered by the law. The employer is re quired to file an earnings re port for social security purpos es on behalf of each workel*. If the social security account number of a worker is omitted from this report, he gets no credit for his earnings. That can mean a reduction in the amount of social security pay ments when the time comes for City Building Permits Building permits issued by the city last week showed con struction value of $58,215.
