Hot And Dry Weather
increases Interest In

ers With Plans
Dry, hot weather is causing more
farmers to consider irrigation systems,
especially those whose farms are lo
cated near an adequate water supply,
such as the river or creeks. Bristoe
Perry, of the Advance community,
thinks that perhaps purchasing an ir
rigation system at such a late date as
this week might even have some ef
fect on the weather, as Mr. Perry’s
irrigation system was delivered to him
on Tuesday of last week and he got a
good rain that night. As dry as the
soil has tw“>- c. rain goes away very
fast, so Mr. Perry may find a very
good use for his irrigation system
during the remainder of this summer.
On Friday afternoon he hooked it up
and irrigated a portion of his sweet
potato field, which was again getting
' dry.
“The important thing is to learn to
use the irrigation system economical
ly,” says County Agent C. W. Over
man. “When you water, put on about
one incn of water which should be
sufficient to last about a'week if no
rain falls during that time. If rain
falls, estimate the amount of rain,
and then irrigate enough so that your
crop will get about one inch of water
per week. By watering more often
than this and using less water at the
time, it tends to bring the roots to the
top of the ground for moisture and
this may bring the feeder roots up out
of the fertilized area and up out of
the area where they will take advan
tage of the soil moisture. Therefore,
when you irrigate wet the ground
good and then wait until you need it
again.”
The Extension Service is available
to assist any farmer in planning an
irrigation system to meet his heeds.
Therefore, if help is needed, call at
the County Agent’s office.
GOOD 4-H CLUB GARDENS
Several 4-H club members who live
in Edenton were visited last week by
Assistant County Agent Robert Marsh
and their project work observed.
Frank Moore, son of Mr. and Mrs. F.
J. Moore, of Morris Circle, has an ex
cellent 4-H garden project. He has
several vegetables already bearing,
has already dug Irish potatoes and
onions, and will have many vegetables /
for sale if he gets a rain in the near
future. Frank had one of the largest
gardens of any of the 4-H club boys
visited, and he is doing an excellent
job. Billy Lane, also of Edenton, has
a good garden. Although his garden
is small, Billy is. dding a good job and
expects to realize a nice profit from
this project.

The chunky blackfish, known to
many as the tautog, is a powerhouse
in fins and provides one of the ang
ling highlights over a long season for
fishermen on the Atlantic coast be
tween South Carolina and Canada.
He is an ugly duckling among the
Labridae fishes that are celebrated
for brilliant coloration. But, like a
cauliflower-eared wrestler, he is very
H tough. What also makes him so at
" tractive to thousands of fishermen is
the fact that not only is he easily
available from both shore and boat,
but in exchange for a piece of clam,
squid, crab, shrimp, beach bug or
1 periwinkle he provides sport in whole
sale quantities. And as a table fish
the black has few peers.
Blackfishing is gaining in popular
ity with even the most sophisticated
salt-water anglers. Bait and tackle
dealers who operate in blackfish terri
tory have told George Heinold, vet
eran sportsman and author, that they
receive more inquiries about where to
catch blacks than they do regarding
any other fish except striped bass.
Despite the fact that many a fine
old surf or boat rod often spends its
last days as a blackfish instrument,
expensive tackle is .the exception
rather than the rule. The main re
quirement of any rod is that it be
nigged. Blackfish are strong; their
habit of diving among rocks and snags
after being hooked exerts, a great deal
of strain on any rod. Ordinary boat
rods and inexpensive surf sticks
equipped with reels that hold about
150 yards of line absorb punishment
and permit fairly long casts. But
many old timers insist that no rod is
better for blackfish than a plain bam
boo or Calcutta cane .ranging in
length from 12 to 20 feet; reels are
rarely used on the whippy canes.
r«K The most satisfactory lines are the
tarred cords and the 12 or 15-thread
cutty-hunk linens. But more import
ant even than the rod and line is the
choice of sinkers and hooks. Since the
lie on the bottom, the sinkers

Virginia patterns in sizes varying be

and 6s being the most popular all

light tackle for blackfish isn’t impos
sible. He has used only one ounce of
lead for a sinker and has had plenty
of fun whipping six and eight-pound
blacks on both fresh-water bait-cast
ing rods and spinning tackle.
