PAGE EIGHT ’—SECTION TWO Around The Farms In Chowan Countv V By C. W. OVERMAN. Chdwau County Agent Bf i Insect . Hazard In Soy beans: Insects not only feed on the leaves <SL soybean plants but also feed' on the bloom and pods. Chowan County and the Albemarle area has the largest acreage planted to soybeans ever. The crop has a potential of high income this year if in sects are controlled. Insect damage can reduce yields and be expensive. Insects not only feed on the plant leaves but also on the bloom and pods which is more serious. Among the insects damaging soybeans is the bean leaf beetle, corn earworm, the Mexican bean beetle and the stink bug. of Better Values E DEMON SHOP EVERY Friday Night TIL O'CLOCK SAVE ON FRIDAY NIGHT SPECIALS 5-plow power v... _ 4j FORD Commander 6000 • Powerful six-cylinder engine— Available with diesel, gas, LPG. • Four-wheel stability— Heavy-duty front axle, short wheel base and turning radius. • Power-shift Select-O-Speed transmission is standard. • Dual ratio PTO— Standard PTO speed at either of two engine speeds. • Powr-Stor hydraulics— Fast, uniform action at all operat ing engine speeds. e Comfortable and convenient— Big, adjustable, foam covered contour seat—two-position steering wheel—power steering—power disc brakes—roomy platform.

The surveyor un folds a piece of cloth be tween two rows and shakes about IVz foot of foliage from each side over the cloth. Insects can be count ed rapidly and easily. Addi tional sample sites are select ed at random throughout the field. Ten sites are sug gested which will give a to tal field sample of 30 row feet. According to Dr. W. V. Campbell, a combination of Toxaphene 14% plus DDT 7% dust at 20 pounds per acre, or spray according to directions, should control general leaf feeders, bean leaf beetle, corn earworm and stink bug. Caution: Do not apply within three weeks of harvest. Carbaryl (Sevin) somewhat less effective, should help considerably on all of -these insects Mala thion is good for Mexican bean beetle. Methyl Para thion is good for stink bug. Read and follow the insecti cide label carefully. • Your Farmers 7 Organiza tion: The Farm Bureau is the farmers’ organization in Chowan County. Your or ganization is representing you in agricultural legisla tion. in local and state agri cultural problems, and its service program. The 1966-67 membership drive is in progress. Every farm family and our busi ness people should inform themselves relative to what the organization is doing, its value and support with their membership accordingly. An organization is only as strong as its membership and leaders. Peanut Situation: Accord ing ao Specialist Astor Per ry. the peanut crop generally may be one to two weeks later than the last two years. Generally, the vines are making good growth. Peg setting or pod farming varies. Late leafspot disease and insects can damage the crop considerably. Continue the application of copper-sulfur dust or your spray program every 12 to 14 days through early September. Watch fields carefully for insect infestation Apply insecticides as needed. Cau tion: Do not use DDT be cause of the residue hazard Malathion at one pound ac tive material per acre should control aphids or plant lice. Cotton: What cotton acre age we have is looking good. Check fields carefully for insect infestation. Examine one square from each of 100 spots scattered over the field. If in the 100 squares five or more are punctured by boll weevil or damaged bbv worms, continue an in secticide application every five days for four times. Read and follow carefully label instructions. CROSSWORD 3. Rugged mountain crest 4. Biological factor 5. Cheer, j: lessly £§ 6. Melody j ip 7. Musician ) 8. Cubic j meter J-2E 9. Says 11.
