approval by the South

The plan may be modified

Nematode Detection Critical To Farmers
RALEIGH - For most
farmers this is a busy time
of year. In addition to
harvesting this year crops,
it is time to start planting
for next year’s and an im
portant part of the planting
process is die collection of
fall nematode samples.
Nematodes are
microscopic, parasitic
worms that live in the soil
and feed on plant roots. The
resulting damage to the root
system can seriously affect
crop performance and cause
major yield losses. All crops
grown in North Carolina
have potential nematode
problems. Some, such as
soybean cyst nematodes and
root-knot nematodes on
tobacco, can reduce yields
by more than 50 per cent in
severely affected fields. It is
only through careful
sampling of fields that the
presence of potentially
serious nematode problems
can be detected.
Chowan Schools for the next
week include:
Friday Student holiday.
Monday Chilled juice,
cinnamon bun and milk.
Frankfurter with roll,
ketchup, mustard, baked
beans, pears and milk.
Tuesday— Chilled juice,
apple muffins and milk.
Universal Lunch: Fish-n
--chips, broccoli, peaches,
cornbread and milk.
Wednesday Chilled
juice, scrambled eggs,
buttered toast and milk.
Universal Lunch : Pizza,
Italian salad, green beans,
apple crisp and milk.
Thursday Chilled juice,
bacon crisp, doughnut and
milk. Universal Lunch:
Chili with crackers, relish
cup, orange wedges, bran
mufins and milk.

Domestic swordfish
fishermen would be allowed

under the plan to prevent
disruption of this U. S.

Sampling for nematodes
in the fall is recommended
because the number present
in the soil in generally
highest then, making it
easier to detect the pests.

Assembly Dates Set
Jehovah’s Wintesses in
the Eastern North Carolina
area announce that
Williamston will again host
their semi-annual circuit
assembly. The two-day
meeting is set for October 13
and 14 at the Williamston
High School.
Paul Nonkes, local
minister and spokesman for
the group said: “More that
1,000 Wintesses in the area
will cancel their meetings
this week-end to attend the
sessions.” Commenting on
the theme: “Proving
Ourselves Fruitful
Disciples,’’ Nonkes said:
“Witnesses must prove that
they are fruitful disciples by
a productive public service
in imitation of their master
and teacher, Jesus Christ.”

Enrollment
Another new record
number of students, 19,803-
strong, are studying the
sciences, technologies,
humanities and arts this fall
at North Carolina State
University.
That total headcount is
1,327 above the fall semester
of 1978, the previous record
enrollment in the 90-year
history of the Land-Grant
University.
“North Carolina State is
overflowing,” Chancellor
Joab L. Thomas said.
He noted with a grin: “The
students are overflowing the
campus, they are over
flowing Hillsborough Square
and they’re overflowing the
Chancellor’s residence.”
The NCSU students came
to the Raleigh campus from
each of North Carolina’s 100
counties, all 49 other states,
three U.S. territories and 85
other nations. Twenty-two
are from Chowan county.
Also registering in ever
increasing numbers are
black students, who total
1,229 this sally, a 15 per cent
jump over the 1,061 a year
ago. That total does not
include students from
African nations who are
counted among 870 foreign
students this fall.
