special election — not the
governor’'s appointment —
was required to fill the vacan
cy.
The court determined that
the state stature required a
special election to fill the
vacancy on the Supreme
Court. The decision was ap
pealed.
“Because the federal judg
ment was on appeal it was not
in effect,” sai(f’ Gregory. ‘‘The
next thing that faced me was
the general election under the
Geoprgia law in the summer of
1982. Since I had been ap
pointed to serve only until
that election, I had to run.
Georgia law required that I be
identified on the ballot as the
incumbent.”’ pt
Gregory ran against Jud%e
Keegan Federal of DeKalb
County and won the election.
Two weeks after the elec
tion, the U. S. Supreme Court
dismissed the State's appeal.
The mandate came back (fi)ewn
to the District Court and the
plaintiff came forward and
said that they were now entitl
ed to their special election.
“The State took the posi
tion that there had already
been an election,”’ said
Gregory. ‘‘However, because I
was identified as ‘incumbent’
the trial judge determined
that the elections we had did
not meet the requirements of a
special election. So it is, we
have a special election on May
3.
Gregory is a graduate of
the U. S. Naval Academy and
the Walter F. Georgia School
of Law at Mercer University.

Vegetables That
Don’t Come Up
By BURTON R. EVANS
Extension Entomologist
Something is wrong. It’s
early ?rirzf. the seed is in the
soun and little is coming up.
hat does emerge in a few
days looks like death warmed
over — thin, scraggly, and
soon to die.
It could be any one or a
combination of several %ro
blems, such as poor quality
seed, a poor variety for J'our
area, seed J)lanbed too deep,
too cold or dry for seed to ger
minate, soil too compacted,
too much or too little fer
tilizer, disease or insects.
Insects are one of the
easier tpotential problems to
identify. Get yourself a
garden trowel, and carefully
ig up some of the seed that
didn’t come up or a few of the
scraggly plants. You will need
to do this as soon as
emergence or %rowth seems to
be a problem. If it is an insect,
it may cc;nflete its develcg)-
ment or feeding and leave. Be
sure to bringl up some of the
dirt surroun 'ng the roots and
seed and spread it out in your
hand or on a newspaper. Look
for several common soil in
sects. )
Root maggots without legs
or a distinct head are about
one-third inch long and will
feed or tunnel into seed corn,
onions, cabbage, cauliflower,
radisltes. broccoli, brussels
sprouts and others.
White grubs are white or
light yellow with hard brown
heads, and typically their
bodies are curved in a “‘C’’ or
“U" shape. They are one-half
to one-and-one-half inches
long and: feed on the
underground parts of potatoes
and the roots of many other
plants.
Wireworms are shiny,
slick, reddish-brown worms
up to one-and-one-half inches
long. As their name suggests,
they look like a piece of wire
but with feet ams teeth. They
cut off small underground
stems, and bore into large
stems, roots and tubers.
If you find you have some
of these soil insects, what can
you do? If only a few plants
are affected, one choice is to
Take Stock Of Your Home
Look around your home at
your collection of furniture,
appliances, knick knacks and
memories. If a fire destroyed
[\;our home, or if you were
urglarized, could you
remember every housegold
furnishing?
Close your eyes for a mo
ment and think about it. How
close can you come to describ
ing every object in the room
you're in now? If you're like
most people, you won't be able
to name everything. If you
had to file insurance claims,
where would you begin?
Some people protect
themselves from this situa
tion with household inven
tories.
‘‘Household inventories
are a way to list all your
possessions for insurance and
Eolice.” says Mary Ellen
lackburn, Georgia Exten
sion Service home economist.
““The time you spend ;{lrepar
ing an inventory 1s small com
gared to the losses you may
ace if burglarized or burned
out.”
‘Start your inventory b{
foing room to room, listing all
urniture, equipment and per
sonal belongings.
“A goo& way to chart your
possessions is to list each
item, estimate the cost and
what it would cost to replace
it, the brand name, model
number and a general descrip
tion,” Blackburn says.
Be thorough. Open closets.
Check drawers. Don’t let
anythi&% escape your atten
tion. When you're throuih
with the living area, list the
attic, basement and garage.
‘““You may want to
photograph each room and
add the ghotos to your inven
tory,” she says. “‘ltems like
antiques and E‘ewelr{ should
be photographed close up.
Photographing the entire
house may be costly, so con:
sider doing it in phases — one
or two reoms every month.”
