Specialists J. C. Wells und W. E. Cooper with County Agent C. W. Overman, checked on the peanut stem rot control demon stration being condulted on the H. ' C. Brinkley farm in the Advance community this year. Plant disease coijnts show very promising results according to Mr. Overman. Plant disease counts were made on six rows in the treated urea and six rows in the untreated area. The six treated rows had 48 di seased plants while the six untreat ed rows hud 165 diseased plants, some of which" were completely dead. The chemical, PC3 was ap plied in the land plaster about the middle of .July. The rows are ap proximately 160 yards in length.
