Various Diseases
Attacking Crops
. In Chowan County
Vegetable Growers Are
Especially Concerned
Due to Damage v
L The Black Shank disease is doirfg
some damage in three of six tobacco
fields, says County Agent C. W.
Overman. “While there is nothing we
know of to check the disease in fields
>at present,” says Overman, “we are
recommending to the growers that
they visit the Oxford Experiment
Station when the Field Day is held
and observe the disease resistant
varieties in view of possibly using
Oxford No. 1, or some other Black
Shank resistant variety for . their
planting next year.”
} Vegetable diseases are giving
r growers considerable concern, parti
cularly in the Rocky Hock area. Dr.
Ellis, plant pathologist, from N. C.
. State College, spent one day last
week in the county visiting fields
with the county agent and diagnosing
the diseases. Bacterial blight was the
principal disease found in snap beans
and has caused partial loss in some
fields and complete loss in one field.
Bacterial spot and phoma spot were
found to be attacking pepers. Late
blight had practically ruined one
field of tomatoes. Proper fungicides
were recommended for these diseases.
Several fields of cantaloupes are
some form of leaf spot di
sease and specimens have been sent
to State College for identification and
control recommendations. The patho
logists said that the Downey Mildew
diesease is moving toward this section
at a very rapid rate and cantaloupe
growers are advised to begin dusting
their fields immediately with 5% tri
basic copper dust to keep the disease
checked. Thus far, Downey Mildew has
jnot been detected in Chowan County
'cantaloupes but this disease is
blown up from the South by the wind,
attacks cucumbers and then spreads
to cantaloupes very readily. Growers
who wish to control this disease
should dust their cucumbers in the
garden as well as cantaloupes in the
field, says County Agent Overman..
Tri-basic copper should be applied
at the rate of 15 pounds per acre and
applications made at 5 day intervals
'until the harvest season is well on the
way.
Several watermelon growers are
taking a chance this year with non
wilt watermelon varieties because
they favor the size and quality of
these varieties. Wilt is beginning to ■
show up in some of these fields.

president of the Southeastern League.
“ ‘They gave me the devil while I .
was a sports writer for not giving
their favorite teams or players more (
play,’ he said, but added hastily,
still consider them the greatest years j
of my life.’ ,
“His column ‘X-Ray-ing Sports,’ <
which he wrote daily while he was ,
with The Advertiser, was one of the j
most popular sports columns in Ala- (
bama. (
“Through editorializing in his
column, he helped promote sandlot
baseball here, got a lot of badminton
courts built, promoted golf tourna- 1
ments, helped install baseball at Sid
ney Lanier, and dozens of other
things.
“Stephenson is one of the most
popular speakers at sports banquets
: the state. He helps all the semi
pro clubs to draft and interpret
league rules and cooperates with any
team in the state, no matter what kind
of sport, in any way that he can.
He still does some sports writing,
usually on special occasions. He also
does some sports announcing over the
radio. Last week during the Mont
gomery Country Club Invitation Golf
Tournament he broadcasted a portion
of the tournament over WSFA.
“He served as first president of the
Dixie Amateur League after its or
ganization in 1933. The league was
composed of former college stars.
‘And we sent a lot of the boys to the
majors,’ he said.
He started off his sports writing
in Montgomery with a bang as the
first story he covered was a football
game between Alabama and Ken
tucky. ‘lt was the beginning of 'fnore
.ravel than I had ever dreamed of,’ he
said.
“As long as he remained sports
editor of The Advertiser, he traveled
with the Alabama and Auburn foot
ball teams. ‘I tried to be careful and
write as much about one team as the
other,’ he stated. ‘But sometimes
some of the fans didn’t think I played
fair with their team. They gave me
the devil.’ He accompanied Alabama
on three Rose Bowl trips.
“While he was in high school, his
family moved to Edenton, N. C. He

INDEPENDENCE
DAY
❖
July 4 is the most glorious date in the
history of our country. Our rights as a free
people were established on that day in 1776
with the Declaration of Independance.
The signers of the Declaration pledged
themselves to support it with “our Lives, our
Fortunes and our sacred Honour.” Let us re
new this pledge, remembering that our free
dom is a" heritage which must be safeguard
ed by each generation.

1 enrolled at North Carolina State the
next year. He had ideas of playing
football there, but suffered a head in
; jury at the beginning of the season
and was forced to give up active par
ticipation in sports in college. ‘I was
too small to play anyway,’ he asserted.
“Football was rough in those days,
he remembers. ‘The coach didn’t
stand on the sideline and tell you
what to do. ‘He yanked out his false
teeth, laid them aside, and showed you
how to do it.’
“During his sports writing days,
Stephenson saw many history-making
events. Some which he considers out
standing were:
“Jimmy Hitchcock’s point after
touchdown in the rain in a game be
tween Auburn and Wisconsin. Hitch
cock was an Auburn back. ‘That was
the greatest clutch play I have ever
seen,’ he said.
“Dixie Howell’s 67-yard touch
down run against Stanford in the 1935
Rose Bowl game.
“Bobby Long’s 47-yard drop kick
from the side line in a game between
North Carolina State and North Caro
lina University. Long was a North
Carolina State star.
“Dixie Walker’s home run with the
bases- loaded to enable the Columbus
Redbirds to defeat Montreal 8-7 and
win the Little World Series.
“Lefty Grove’s first major league
game which he lost to the great Wal
ter Johnson by a 2-0 scote.
