2-B The Register: Danville, Friday, July 29, 196( During Next Week Five Nematode Clinics Slated In Pittsyl vania Xematode tests will be con- ducted at five locations in Pitt- sylvania County next week. Agent Wayne F. Brown reported yesterday the following nematode clinic sched- ule has been arranged for Pitt- sylvanians: Monday Easley's Store at Rondo, from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m Tuesday Motley's Store at Shockoe from 8 to 11 a.m.; and Towler's Store at Kenan from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Wednesday Dan River High School from 8 to 11:30 a.m.- and Soyar's Texaco at Bros- Ville from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. A team of Extension Service specialists will assist the Coun- ty Extension Service personnel in conducting the clinics, Brown said.

Brown listed four steps for growers to follow in collectin" samples for a thorough test: 1. Collect several plants and soil from areas in a field where nematodes are suspected. 2. Dig the plants to obtain entire root systems and at least one quart of soil. 3.

Immediately place the root and soil in a plastic bag 1 maintain soil moisture. 4. Label the bag according the field from which the sam pie was taken. The tests, Brown said, ar the grower's best protectio against spending money neec lessly to control nematode doesn't have. On the other hand he added, the grower shoul want to know if he has nem atodes lest he sacrifice qualit and yield to them.

There are four major type of nematodes that cause exten sive damage to tobacco roo knot, cyst, root-lesion and stun nematodes. These nematodes rarely ki. tobacco but will stunt plan growth greatly, Brown said Cured tobacco from disease plants is chaffy, ashy and ligh weight, he added. Brown noted that research ha shown the value of an acre tobacco can be increased $500 with adequate nematod control.

"But there's not much point in talking about diverted acres," Blair continued, "be- cause I doubt if this has much vegetation on it either." Danville Builder Industry's Tight Money Spot: (Continued from Page 1-B) nance home mortgages." Financial institutions that tra- ditionally lend the money for the purchase of homes are find- ing it harder to get more de- posits, because people with idle money can get higher returns by depositing elsewhere, or buy- ing securities. The average interest rates on conventional mortgage loans in this country rose in May to 6.02 per cent, compar- ed with 5.77 per cent a year ago. The higher interest, bigger down payments, difficulty of finding money available to fi- nance the mortgage have cut off some would-be home buy- ers here and there. Others may be finding it harder to buy a house because all their bills seem to be going higher, and their taxes, and demands on their income.

Johnson pointed out in cities such as Roanoke in which new homes are sold exclusively by real estate agents, a potential buyer has to add some 19.5 or 20 per cent to the cost of the home. The shift of money saw stocks and bonds jump from $3.6 bil- lion in 1965 to $13.2 billion in the first quarter of 1966. Certificates of deposits rose from $12.8 bil- lion in January 1965 to $18.3 billion this month. Meanwhile, the flow of sav- ings plummeted in savings in- stitutions from $20.6 billion last year to $15.7 billion in the first six months of this year. The money shift has resulted J.

Building permits have declined from 1.3 million in March to .94 million in June. The NHBA is backing several bills before Congress which, it says, would reverse the money crisis. One bill, sponsored by Rep.
