Perquimans farmers ( Continued from page 1) m our poor quality corn this year, this will be difficult to achieve. " Do not hold wet corn form more tkan six hours before drying. Xflatoxin can be produced in wet obrn in a truck just as it can be produced in the bin. I Be sure to clean out auger wells. Combine tanks, elevator boots and pita daily. Ideal condition for fungal ?owth exists in these places. "Be sure to not overload the capacity of your dryer. This is Specially true in bin drying. ?Make sure your bin has enough ventilation so that the fan will not be evoked. Make sure the vents are open bpfore starting the fan. 'Ia bin layer drying, level each layer, do not let fines form a core in tie center of the bin. When bin drying the fan and heater should be run continuously until the top layer is dried to 13 percent moisture. Before storing dry corn in a bin, be sure the bin is cleaned out com pletely. Dried corn should be treated with Malathion before being placed into storage. After the bin is filled, top off with Dipel for moth control. After corn is dried, cool the grain to the outside air temperature. Once grain is in storage, operate the fan whenever the outside air is below 65 percent relative humidity and 10 degrees cooler than the corn, until the corn reaches 50 degrees. Inspect your corn regularly during storage; if insects develop in storage, then fumigate.

Winfall meets requirements for ABC package store The town of Winfall has met all the state requirements for opening its ABC Package Store, according to Joe Towe, chairman of the Winfall ABC Board.

No decision reached in Super Dollar-Harris case By VAL SHORT Superior Court Judge Herbert Small made no decision during Pasquotank's August 22 court session on the injunction sought by Super Dollar Inc., in which they have requested the closing of Giant Discount at Harris Shopping Center. Jesse Harris, owner of Harris Shopping Center in Hertford, is named the defendant in a lawsuit in which attorneys for Super Dollar allege Harris violated their lease agreement when he rented a building to Giant discount, two doors down from Super Dollar. According to Harris, the judge announced he will make his decision in ten days, allowing more time for him to review the case. The lease agreement between Harris and Super Dollar, Inc. states that another variety store or similar business cannot be leased at the Hertford shopping center. Harris contends that he did not violate the lease agreement, because, according to Harris, "Giant Discount could never be labeled as a variety store." During a telephone interview, Harris described Giant Discount as a drugstore without a pharmacy. He said toys make up approximately one-third of Giant's stock, with the remainder including health and beauty aids.
