THE PERQUIMANS WTrZLY. KTT.TFCr.S. rTH CAROLINA. FRIDAY, JANUARY 23, 12:3. :UL3U .jiSC.l!3V j Of Seed V '' The announcement this week at the release of the NC-4X va riety of peanut, which resulted from the atomic radiation work t-y Pr. W.. C. Gregory at North ( Jirolina State College, has cre t ed a considerable number of questions in the minds of the readers of the article. SoW of these questions may be answer ed here. J First, the seed were eradiated 81 the Atomic Reactor in Oak fiidge ; and were planted at the l&jper . Coastal Plain Experi ment Station in ' Edgecombe County. : There ended the radi ation and all peanuts produced horn this variety are perfectly safe to eat and use. The radia tion affected only those seed and their off-spring were many different kinds giving a vast quantity of different types of peanuts ' which Dr. Gregory could use in his cross-breeding and selection ' work to develop the new' variety."" tffie "KC-iX "ia superior In ' moYt way's to old types of f armeil : ttdck J peanuts', but is not equal to or superior to the NC-2 which most farm ers are now growing. Dr. Gre gory has stated that any farmer who 1 is. successfully producing NC-2's and . not encountering major problems connected there with should continue to use the NC2's and not switch to the NC-4X peanut. However, Dr. Gregory pointed out that farm ers living in areas having soil types and -' climatic; 'conditions which : cause a high percentage of pods showing growth ' cracks and considerable damaged ker nels should consider growing the NC-4X which has the lowest percentage of cracked pods of any . variety tested Farmers might expect under normal con ditions less income per acre with the NC-4X than with the NC-2, because of the fact that the average yield of the NC-4X is slightly lower than the NC-2, the extra large percentage is lower than the NC-2, with other factors being about the same with the average damage of the NC-4X being much less than NC-2. The NC-4X is more sus ceptible to southern stem rot than is the NC-2.

It could be expected to stand up-better un 'der combining conditions. . j The fact that this peanut has .been developed through atomic I eradiation leads the way to greater, potentials in the devel opment of .future varieties and Dr. Gregory is exploiting to the maximum tie potentials offered through this medium in develop ing new peanut ; varieties which will meet the needs of the changing times of the future, i .
