Wesleyan coach Laura Ferrell expects the s’B” hoopster to help the Battling Bishops at the forward spot. “We look for Denise to give us a consistent scoring punch as well as some solid rebounding from the wing position,” said Ferrell. “She is the type of player that goes on the court every night and gives you a con sistent, steady game. Her college experience will help on and off the court, too,” Ferrell added. "Discretion is seeing as much as you ought, not as much as you can." de Montaigne Effort To Help Farmers Protect Peanuts From Disease By Dr. J.W. Pou North Carolina State University agricultural scientists recently an nounced the first break in the research effort to help farmers protect peanuts from a highly destructive fungus disease called Solar Greenhouse Cherry Tomatoes “We got an old whiskey barrel from Jack Daniels and filled it with soil and planted some cherry tomatoes. Those tomatoe plants grew all the way to the ceiling and we were eating them in mid winter,” Esther Hyatt said. As director of the John C. Campbell Folk School, Hyatt had reason to brag. Not only had their new passive solar greenhouse enabled them to grow tomatoes when most folks were shoveling snow out of their driveways, but it cut their use of fuel oil over 15 per cent from the previous year. The Folk School proposed to build a two story solar greenhouse for SB,OOO in 1979. The Department of Energy Appropriate Technology-Small Grants Program funded their proposal in the Fall of that year. Bob Fink of the school, and Andy Ward of Sun- Earth Home Builders designed the greenhouse. Ward supervised the con struction which used both contract labor and staff. Brasstown where the Folk School is located lies in the mountains of Clay County, North Carolina, which has a latitude of 35 degrees. The angle of the greenhouse glazing is 60 degrees, which means that in the coldest months of January and February the sun is almost perpendicular to the Thermopane double glazing. This gives the greenhouse maximum heat and light in the winter. In fact, if the greenhouse were left shut tight on a sunny winter day. temperatures could exceed 100 degrees. On most sunny winter days you will find the door of the dining room open to the greenhouse on the ground floor. On the upper level of the greenhouse the windows of the craft shop and the bookeeper’s office allow heat to flow out of the greenhouse. To store heat the greenhouse uses a variety of thermal mass. Primary storage comes from the 16 flat black 55 gallon drums filled with water located under growing tables in the greenhouse. A secondary source of thermal mass comes from the dark green cement floor. The stone wall of Keith House forms the north wall of the greenhouse and THE CHOWAN HERAID Cylindrocladium Black Rot (CBR), according to Woody Upchurch, Agricultural Communications Specialist at N.C. State University. Dr. Durwood F. Bateman, director of the N.C. Agricultural Research Service (NCARS), said the serves as another source of thermal mass. Likewise, the soil in the planters adds to the thermal mass which in turn helps moderate tem peratures in the greenhouse. In the winter the thermal mass helps heat the greenhouse at night. In the summer the thermal mass helps absorb excess heat so that it takes longer for the greenhouse to heat. Large stately oaks provide summer shading for the greenhouse and obligingly lose their leaves about the time more sun is needed for heating pur poses. In addition to the oaks, the greenhouse uses three ventilating windows, and an exhaust fan for Guandian WOOD PENCILS UPS-LITE RnTlx COMBS T,XAS |N ,rs,s TIMEX MOUTHGUARD j*.

The announcement was made at the Peanut Belt Research Station at Lewiston. Sufficent certified NCBC seed were available to plant cooling during the summer months. Although the greenhouse is attractive and functional, it is not made of elaborate materials. Most of the lumber came from the school’s forest and was cut in the school’s saw mill. The concrete floor measures 13 x 24 feet and is surrounded by a two foot high concrete block wall. Since the Folk School teaches organic farming! practices and alternative forms of energy as part of its homesteading curriculum, the greenhouse plays a large part in the educational activities the school sponsors. 1 f Sout 300 acres this year. I Additional supplies of foundation seed will be planted for seed increase for the 1983 crop. North Carolina grows about 170,000 acres of peanuts. The variety NCBC was developed by NCARS crop scientist Johnny Wynne and plant pathologist Marvin Beute in an accelerated breeding program that began soon after CBR was identified in North Carolina and Virginia in 1970. Bateman said the development of a resistant peanut “is a major research achievement and gives growers their first effective tool in dealing with CBR,” a plant pest the NCSU agricultural administrator called “a severe disease that causes substantial yield losses.” None of the scores of chemical compounds screened for CBR control has been effective, Bateman said. CBR was originally identified in Georgia in 1965 but has become a more severe problem in the northern end of the peanut belt in Virginia and North Carolina. The disease - causing organism is known to exist in most major peanut producing counties of those two states. Losses to the disease in 1981 in North Carolina alone are estimated at sl2 million. The resistant variety NCBC will allow growers to return peanuts to fields where profitable production has been made impossible by CBR, Bateman said. “However, NCBC isn’t a cure - all,” he added. “Growers will have to continue rotation (alter nating peanuts with other crops) and follow good management, particularly in controlling nematodes.” Nematodes, tiny worm - like organisms in the soil, reduce the effectiveness of NCBC’s CBR resistance. Research by NCARS scientists is continuing in search of higher levels of CBR resistance, Bateman said. NCBC is described as a large - seeded Virginia type Thursday, August 5, 1982 peanut with a runner growth habit similar to Florigiant, the predominant Virginia type peanut variety. Pods are somewhat smaller than those of Florigiant and seeds are rounder in shaoe. Yields of NCBC have been similar to those of Florigiant in non - infested soils and much higher in CBR infested soils. Comparative tests of NCBC with Florigiant in 1978 - 1980 on clean land showed that the NCBC average yield was 3,986 pounds per acre compared to 3,498 pounds for Florigiant. The in creased value of NCBC peanuts in these tests amounted to sll4 per acre. In tests on infested soil on the Everett Byrd Farm at Clarkton, NCBC yielded 3,719 pounds per acre compared to 2,275 pounds for the more susceptible Florigiant. The value in crease was $362 per acre. In addition to its resistance to CBR, NCBC is more tolerant of the Southern Stem Rot fungus than other commercial varieties.
