E-j*cnoj» two PAGE SIX I -v AROUND THE FARMS NKIKf IN CHOWAN COUNTY By C. W. OVERMAN. Chowan County Aganl White Extension Workers will be out of the county next week, j May 18-23. We will be attending the State Conference of Exten sion Workers at Asheville. A state-wide conference of workers is held every five years. This is the fifth year and time for the conference again. Don’t get the idea that we will be on a vacation. The confer ence schedule is a full one. Some meetings will be held at night in order to get all of it in. The pur pose of the conference is to in form your Extension Workers so they can better help you. The Commissioners' Luncheon staged by the County Home Dem onstration Club Council was a most enjoyable occasion on Mon day of last week. An excellent meal and wonderful fellowship. The Chowan County Commission ers were all present. The 4-H Livestock Judging Team participated at the Albe-1 marie Fat Stock Show on Tues-! day. The team consisted of Joe Hollowell, Richard White, and Bryant White, with Johnny Win borne as alternate. It was my privilege to accompany them, as Mr. Marsh was called away for a special meeting. The team did a good job judg ing hogs and beef cattle, in spite of the fact they placed fifth in six teams. School woi k and ac tivities had hindered practice. We hope they can get plenty of practice for next year and be come a “Crack Judging Team”. The Albemarle Soil Conserva tion District Supervisors held their nuarterly dinner meeting at the Edenton Restaurant on Wed nesdav night. A large percent ace of the supervisors and many guests were present. Plaques. for the fine supervisors’ work j were presented.

Last week, I was called to a farm to look at the Serecia. When I arrived, the farmer told me that his Serecia bad failed except in one field. Upon close investiga tion we found that he didn’t rec ognize Serecia. It was u-p in all of the fields, some better than others, but enough for an event ual good stand. Weeds were plentiful in some areas. I suggested that he mow the weeds When they reach a height of eight to ten inches so the Serecia can come on through. | A second mowing in late July or[ August may be necessary. The Serecia should reseed this fall and give a good stand to sup press the weeds next year. SUNDAY SCHOOL 1 LESSON v s government work. He traded with other countries the things which his section could supply, that they wanted. Archaeological discoveries also show us that King Solomon was active in min ing and smelting copper. He al so expanded trade routes. His ships were manned by Phoeni cian sailors and made three-year voyaees regularly (I Kings 9:26- 28, 10:22). But despite all these sources of income, Solomon’s fi nancial needs were increasing faster than his supply. If Solo mon was the wise ruler he is credited to have been, and if he hid a real sense of responsibility with his power, then he would j either have cut expenses in gov ' ernment, or sought new sources of income. We have seen that he did the latter, at least in part, j There is no indication that Sol omon used any of his great ex-! penditures to help the people of ; .iis country, except for the rela tively small percentage of peo ple w.ho were employed by the government. In this Solomon was no different from rulers of surrounding countries. In the traditional role of keeping the symbol of office important, Solo mon did one of the most out standing jobs in Hebrew history. But apart from his skill as a judge he seems to have had less interest in the people than either Saul or David. And Solomon’s success presented him with a pe culiar temptation. In his pros perity he was tempted to forget the Lord who had been with him and had given him good fortune. Solomon had become very pow erful, and was tempted to use hisj power for his own selfish desires i rather than for the welfare of his ' | people. His great strength I threatened to undermine his cov enant with God. In our own day many leaders are entrusted with great power, and have continually to fight the temptation to let this power cor rupt the possessors. It is a great responsibility to use strength with a sense of responsibility. We may not all be in a posi tion of great power, but it is ai unusual person who has no pow er at all —either in our homes, in B 19 YEARS NINETEEN SUCCESSFUL YEARS in the Cemetery Memorial business ...

Collar Rot Reported In Peanut Counties Observations and preliminary surveys indicate that collar rot, a soil-borne fungus disease of pea nuts, is becoming more impo.tant on Virginia bunch peanuts in North Carolina. / It has been found affecting peanuts in several es the major peanut-producing counties, re ports J. C. Welts, plant patholo gist for the N. C. Agricultural Ex tension Service. In many instances this disease is being confused with the South ern stem rot disease, Wells said. Collar rot is characterized by the death of the plant during the late summer. The lower portion of the stem and tap roots decay, be coming gray to slate colored. Stems of affected plants become' blackened and rough due to the formation of fruiting bodies of the fungus. In contrast, Wells added, symp- j toms of the Southern stem rot di sease are root decay and a l'ght brown rot at the base of the stem , that frequently kill the stem and foliage. During wet periods a cottony fungus growth forms on the dead areas around the base of the plant. Later small, hard, yellow or light brown colored bodies resembling mustard seed form on the infected stems. Collar rot has been found to oc cur almost exclusively in fields where peanuts are following cot ton, thus indicating the need for a change in the rotations now be ing used for peanut production. At the present the only prac tical means of reducing losses is to follow at least a three-year ro tation, planting peanuts behind corn in the rotation instead of behind cotton. Studies have been initiated to determine economical and practical control measures for this disease. TRY A HERALD CLASSIFIED SELL YOUR HOGS TO M. D. BAKER HOG BUYING STATION * ..
