THE FARMS’ CHOWAN COUINTY if" 4 By c w. OVERMAN. Chowan County Agent j> Peanut roots and pods can teil | you a 'lot right now. Peanut pigging is the best time to ex amine _ the roots and pods for underground problems. May I suggest that you take a littlie time out, during your busy time Os digging, and carefully ex- j amine the roots and pods on many hills in each of your fields. Tuesday, Extension Peanut Specialist Astor Perry and I ex amined several fields of peanuts. Some fields are showing a tot, of pops and other conditions in- j dicating calcium deficiency, Im- j mediately, you may think the thing to do is to apply lime, but this may not be the • answer. Land plaster was applied to peanuts before the heavy rains in late July and August set in. Land piaster is our quick source of calcium during pod forming time. Land plaster is very sol uble, so no doubt the heavy rains leached the land plaster j out of the soil and caused a) de- | ♦ficiehey. Had we have sus pected this, another application •of Aland plaster following the •heavy rains would most prob ably have paid good dividends Another problem we found was nematode injury. Both sting nematode and rootknot nematode has been found. The only solution to this problem is soil fumigation prior to grow ing peanuts on the soil again. Root worm injury was aflso very prevalent in some fields. Even though the root worm only Cut through the culls leaving a small hole, moisture entered the hoflle and caused the pod to rot An application of a good soi’ insecticide such as AJdrin or Heptaehlor applied ahead of the first cultivation would have pre vented this injury and also con- trolled thrio injury which was so prevalent in practically every untreated field this year. Examine your . crop carefully Row for these signs of injury and trouble. The annual peanut field day will be held at the Research Station at Lewiston on next Thursday, October 1, beginning at 10 in the morning. I realize that this field day comes at a V'"™ busy time but it should be worthwhile to peanut growers and others interested in peanuts to attend.

Bale and a half -to two-bale cotton is a reality in Chowan County this year in spite of' the ( heavy summer rains. Several I growers have reported their first picking yields which are running between a bale and a half and two bales per acre. I haven’t actually heard of a two bale crop yet, but from what growers have toM me, some of them will make a two-bale crop on some fields when the second picking is made. Warner Evans of B. W. Evans Gin Company was by my office Tuesday morning and showed me a gin report on 15 bales of cot ton he has gained since in stalling an adjusting some new equipment. One of -the bales was middling, and the rest were strict tow middling grade. There was no indication of any injury due to gin preparation. We want to congratulate Mr. Evans oh doing such a fine job in gin ning cotton for growers. The way the cotton is picked and handled largely determines the grade of cot-ton that can be ginned. Excellent cotton in many fields is being poorly picked and handled and the re suit is a low grade product and a low price. Regardless of whether cotton is ginned and then sold or sold in the seed, it will pay Chowan County growers to do a good job of harvesting and drying their cotton before -taking it to the gin.
