Chowan County Agent i Peanut Field Day: The an nual Peanut Field Day will be held at the Lewiston Research fetation on Thursday of' this I week, September 27. The pro gram will begin at ten o’clock with the annual meeting of the I North Carolina Peanut Growers’ ' p Association. Harvesting and cur ing machinery and facilities will t likely fye displayed and explain ed. Important points relative to , mechanical harvesting and cur j ing will be discussed by the spe j cialists. Although I do not have a pro gram of the events, I presume that we will visit research plots of interest with the group. Con trol of the rootworm anc} other insects will be a feature |of the discussion. The program should be of interest to and well worth while for all peanut growers who can possibly take times to at tend. Peanut Harvesting: This pea nut growing season, temperature wise, has been one of the best. I secured a record of fdr. Joe | Conger’s official temperature | record last week after, mailing '■•out our circular letter to grow , ers. From May 1 to date, we have had 1600 heat units in 147 days. This mease that peanuts planted May 1 or beforie should I fc ready or about ready for dig ’ . ging. ! A few simple points should be adhered to very carefully in the mechanical curing of peanuts. Peanuts with 25 percent or less moisture should not be more than 4% feet deep in The bin for most uniform curing. The depth should be less with high er moisture. The temperature of the air under the curing bins should not be more than 15 de grees higher than the outside temperature and preferably not more than 12 degree* difference. The temperature of the curing air should never gb above 90 degrees and preferably not over 85 degrees. Curing should stop and the peanuts moved out as quickly as possible when the moisture level reaches 10 per cent or the level acceptable by the buyers. i When the curing season starts we will try to visit every fa cility promptly, checking with 1 PROTECT the family you CARE for with BLUE CROSS and BLUE SHIELD - * 1 9 HOSPITAL CARE If" ASSOCIATION DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA Hfe; LOCAL RFPKESENTATIVE St Donald Burden .Hi.

In-Row Cotton Fungicide Dem onstration Results: In-row cot ton fungicide demonstrations were conducted on four farms in an effort to determine the value of such applied fungicide in controlling diseases which damage and kill young cotton after it comes up. Due to the , growers thinning and other fac tors varying the plots, we were only able to get comparable re sults on one which was with Mr. Clyde Lane at Cross Roads. On May 25 systematic plant counts were made on the treat- ! ed plot and on the untreated plot. On the treated plot there was an average of 6.2 live plants per foot of row, and on the un treated plot there was an aver age of 5.6 plants per foot of row. There was more than twice as many dead plants in the untreated plot as in the .treated plot. We advised Mr. Lane to not chop his cotton as it was thin enough but he and Mr. Hollowell felt that they should thin most of it. As a MR.

Jllf Old ligpoM Straight $Q,25 BOURBON SOM , Pi " T Whiskey $3 4/5 SUART UtUPftCJr TYRONE OISmttNO COMPANY lAKKENCttUKi, KfiNIUCKV On September 14 we estimated the yield using a systematic boll count method. The average rtumber of plants per foot of row at harvest time was 4.4 in the crated plot, 4.0 in the un treated and unthinned plot, and 1.9 in the untreated, thinned plot. The calculated yield per acre in the treated plot was 7,- 728 pounds of seed cotton and in the untreated plot 1,645 pounds of seed cotton and in the un treated and thinned plot, 1,242 pounds of seed cotton per acre. Valued at 11 Vic per pound for the seed cotton the value per acre of the treated plot was $198.72, on the untreated and unthinned plot $189.17, and on the untreated, thinned plot $142 83. Based on these figures the in-row fungicide was worth a little over $9.00 per acre and cost only $1.50 per acre. The difference between the thinned and unthinned, untreated plots was $46.34 per acre in favor of not thinning. The in-row fungicide was thoroughly mixed with the seed at the rate of three pounds per : bushel of seed at planting time. ( While the idea intended would i be to dust or spray the fungicide , into the planter boot area just ahead of the seed coverers to make it most effective. We mix ed it with the seed since we did not have equipment for proper application. Let’s keep in mind that 1962 was quite an ideal season for young cotton to come up and grow. 1961 was a very adverse season for young cotton to grow and wc would anticipate far greater results if the fungi cide was used- during a more ad verse season.
