FROST DID NO GREAT DAMAGE IN PASQUOTANK PEAS DELAYED BUT SLIGHTLY And Potatoes Sprouting Out of the Ground as Green as Though ('.old Had hut Add* ed to Their Vigor. There Is nothing to the talk about! ruined truck crops in and around' Pasquotank County according toj those who have, made trips into the' N country during the past week aud| Y?-?*n the green things emerging from I the soil. The proof of the crop is in 1 the seeing. / Shelton Scott for one believes that, / the peas if injured at all by the re cent frost will be delayed only a> few days in maturity. It is unlike ly. however, in his opinion that any difference at all will be apparent. As for the potatoes. Mr. Scott believes] that Oil per cent of the planted seed i are still alive and thriving. N. T. Aydlett who returned from a trip into Currituck County this! week says he was surprised to see sweet potato shoots in the hot beds up to considerable height and grow ing fast. The Irish potatoes are al so in a thriving condition in Curri tuck. he says. W. C. Glover reports that a good acreage of potatoes in this County isj sprouted above the ground. He be lieves that the peas are not damaged ' more than perhaps two days delay. The main source of trouble from peas. according concensus of opiniou.? Is failure to get a fcood stand. Some growers lost two bags out of nln?* while others lost one out of two on account of unfavorable conditions, such as stiff soil, which prevented? the peas from sprouting. There may. be some loss from not sprouting but: there is little or no damage from cold or frost, according to Buxtou! White. Not only are the peas all right and growing well but the opinion of the majority Is that they will demaml a good price this year. Perhaps the! loss In stand will boost the value of* the crop enough to compensate for It. I KUDZU IS GREAT FEED FOR CATTLE So Says Superintendent Pritchard of Foreman Stock Farms Who Knows What He's Talking Ahout. Kudzu may not Hound like much of anything other than a term, used in playing mah-jongg but It Is great stuff for the cattle according to 8u peiintendant Prltchard of the Fore man Stock Farm, where an acre oT tho oddly named feed will be planted this year by way of experiment. Mr.- Prltchard nays the Kudzu takes root alon? its Joints like a po tato vine and keeps going like the well known brook. The Foreman farm will have a large acreage in alfalfa this year, according to Mr. Prltchard. Alfalfa has not been grown so ex tensively in this section as tho results would warrant. Perhaps If more farmers could compare the val-; ue of the alfalfa crop per acre with that of other crops there would be more of it planted in this vicinity. County Agent Falls says alfalfa "will yield 4 tons to the acre equal In food value to 4 times that amount of grass hay. In order to get the same value In stock fet-d It would be necessary to raise at least 15 tons p??r acre of grass hay. Both Mr. Falls and Mr. Prltchard agree that alfalfa pays, even though it has to be planted over every year. C'AMDKX IIHIKPS Camden, April 4. Mr. and Mrs. H. W.

FARMERS HUSTLE IN LATE SPRING And Now's Time Il's Mighty Easy In Bile OfT in S|>rinjr time More Than They ('.an Chew in Summer Says Falls Spring Is late this year. The weather (luring March lint* been decidedly unfavorable t" the preparation of lands in the Albe marle for cotton and other crops. It follows that April will he a rushing month with the farming gentry and that if lie- ty acreage of cotton Ik planted there will be a congestion of work during the summer that will throw many behind schedule. Reduce the acreage. Hays Dr. R. Y Winters state plant breeding agrono mist, and there are many who agree with hi in. "Unless the farmers have rn area under cultivation small enough to al low of careful cultivation they will probably find, with labor scarce, that they have bitten off more than they can properly masticate," says Grovcr Fall, County farm agent. It Is equally important that im proved seed for both cotton and corn be planted. In the opinion of Mr. Falls who quotea flgur< s compiled by G. Etherldge Monday.
