Page 2-A Farm Bill Could Bolster Area Peanut Production By Murray L. Goodwin, AgrL Ext Agent Bobby Smith, assistant federal administrator for ASCS, told peanut fanners at the Peanut Field day last Thursday at Lewiston that peanut farmers can expect a sqund peanut program in 1978 if the Farm Bill currently before Congress is passed. Allotments would be continued as in this past year with about the same support price. A. farmer would be allowed to plant additional peanuts with a support price based on world market. This price would be much lower! A poundage system, similar to the tobacco program, would also be involved. Debbie Jordan, Yeopim 4- H Club member, gave her 4- H Crop Utilization demonstration before about 500 farmers, business men, and agricultural workers. The demonstration gave the history of peanuts and the story <rf what happens to peanuts after ttey leave the farm. She displayed peanut products in 15 packages! Debbie sat beside Dr. George Hyatt, director of N.C. Extension Service during the meeting. He and many others complimented Debbie on her peanut demonstration. When Mr. Smith began his address he said, “Debbie, I want to compliment you on your fine 4-H demonstration. I cer tainly learned a lot about peanuts today that I didn’t know before.” T.N. Dixon, President of N.C. Peanut Growers Association, presided and gave the President’s report. It was a generally rainy day, but no one complained. The field part of the program was presented under the shelter. Astor Perry, Peanut Specialist presided over the session. Perry predicted an average state yield of 2700 lbs. Dr. Campbell talked about the new variety N.C. 6. He said that this variety has high level resistance to corn root worm, moderate resistance to Leaf Hoppers, and some resistance to Thrip. N.C 6 has increased hair on leaves and stronger hulls than conventional varieties. N.C. 6 will produce about the same income as Florigiant per acre. In secticide recommendations for N.C. 6 will be lowered to about onehalf of this years rate for 1978. Campbell told about his field experiment on Ray Byrum’s farm in Rocky Hock. This experiment has an untreated border around a treated area. The mites generally did not penetrate this center of the area, even though high level population "mm ” '. vk'-*’/ y- f ” *\ i* A‘k*■ *■ f u'h. ■vHB This is to express my deepest appre ciation to the Edenton Baptist Church and its pastor emeritus, Rev.

Sometimes two different chemicals cause harmful effects when used together, which cause no trouble when used separately. Astor Parry said that extensive tests have shown that wet Land-plaster and regular Landplater give about same results when equal amounts of calcium sulphate are included. Early application of Landplaster has been alright in tests. Perry said this may not be true during a very wet year. John Glover talked about the importance of spreading Landplaster evenly and equipment for doing this. Agriculture Com missioner Graham welcomed the farmers to the Experiment Station and talked about Aflatoxin. Womack Lee talked about Storage Available for Peanuts. In Memoriam In loving memory of my husband Horace M. Nixon, whose death claimed, September 19, 1976: Your gentle face and patient smile With sadness we recall You had a kindly word for each And died beloved by all. The voice is mute and stilled the heart That loved us well and true, Ah, bitter was the trial to part From one so good as you, You are not forgotten loved one Nor will you ever be, As long as life and memory last We will remember thee. We miss you now, our hearts are sore, As time goes by we miss you more, Your loving smile, your gentle face, No one can fill your vacant place. Wife, Edythe B. Nixon arid, family pd.
