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. Cost of any repairs
made elsewhere than the of
ficial stations is not included
in this figure.
Defects among the seven
items checked occurred most
often in lighting. There were
3942 vehicles with defective
lights, more than 50 per cent
of the total tested.
Other defects proved to be:
brakes 522; windshield wipers
338; tires~326, turn signals 257,
steering 138 and horns 92.

mandatory for all vehicles reg
istered in South Carolina. Pri
vate business concerns, 1248
of them, are presently licensed
by the Highway Department to
do this work. The Highway De
partment urges motorists to
have their vehicles inspected
early to avoid possible waiting
lines when inspection becomes
mandatory.
the worker and his dependents
to claim them. 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.

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
