Chowan County's Cotton Crop Lowest In Many Years Tobacco Crop Is Also Badly Damaged By Disease Making Chowan County green with good pastures has been moving for ward at a rapid rate .this fall. While the actual acreage seeded to pas tures to date can not be determined a yet, the interest has been running very high, as judged by the number of farmers coming in for information and obtaining purchase orders for ma terial through the P. M. A. office. This work is being accomplished through the concerted efforts of the P. M. A., through which the lime, seed and fertilizer materials are obtained through purchase orders, by the work of the Soil Conservationist in making soil tests and planning with the farm ers, and the educational and informa tion program of the Extension Ser vice. The Black Shank disease Jplayed havoc in many tobacco fields in Cho wan County this year. Farmers using Black Shank resistant varieties found that they held up excellently against the disease. Oxford, Dixie Bright 101 and Dixie Bright 102 were the disease varieties used. There seems to be a difference in opinion among grow ers as to which of these varieties suits local conditions best; some favor each one of the three varieties over the other two. Cotton yields in Chowan County this year are the lowest in many CLASSIFIED ADS SEE DENTIST REGULARLY—FOR SALE —4-BEDROOM HOUSE Clean teeth reguiariy with sanitiz ing Olag Tooth Paste, made t&ith soothing, protective oils.

The heavy rains in late June and July ruined a large number of fields regardless of the boll weevil. Many fields, on fairly well-drained land, were still damaged by the waiter. The boll weevil has taken the cotton-crop to a very large extent on well drained fields where no control program was followed. Farmers who put all three to five applications of Toxaphene on at week i ly intervals in late June and July on well drained land harvested % bale per acre. Three farmers who follow ed through a complete dusting pro gram on well drained land are getting yields of from 2 /3 to a bale per acre. Actual records on these demonstra tions will be obtained when harvest ing is complete. Two ginners report having received less than 1 /10 as much cotton to date as they did last year at this time. Tobacco growers who are planning to use field areas or old beds for to bacco beds in 1951 are being urged to treat these beds during October for weed control. Treatments must be applied at least 90 days before seed are to be applied. The recom mendation is 1 pound of Cyanamid per square yard or 1 pound of Uramonj plus % pound of Cyanamid per square | yard. One half of the material should be worked into the soil to a (depth of about 4 inches and the oth ' er half spread evenly on top and rak ed lightly. Fall fertilization of tobac co beds has proven very profitable in labor saving and in better stands of plants. A new fertilizer and weed control combination, 16-6-2, is on the market and is being used. This combi nation material should be applied at the rate of 3 pounds per square yard working half into the soil and leav ing the other half on top just as treating for weed control. Beds treat ed with this material will need no further fertilizer at seeding time. Fall fertilization of tobacco beds en- in Westover Heights. Apply Maj or Amarine, USMC Air Station, Cherry Point, N.

This is, of course, a tremendous tribute to Cadillac, and to those who have designed it so well and built it so 1 soundly for so long a time. But we think it is, equally, a tribute to the American people themselves. . Only a small percentage of American motorists have ever driven a Cadillac—or even enjoyed a ride in one. But that has not hindered the public from sensing 1 the soundness of the Cadillac ideal—or from giving its wholehearted approval to the Cadillac crusade for quality.

But we believe, sincerely, that many have needlessly denied themselves the pleasure. Cadillac cars are far more practical and economical to own than most people realize. It costs less to buy the lower-priced Cadillacs than it costs to buy certain models of numerous other makes of cars. Furthermore, a single tankful of gasoline will usually suffice for a whole day’s drive. And, of course, when it comes to endurance , a Cadillac stands alone—for its life-span has never been fully measured. Yes, for a wide group of people, a Cadillac car is a sen sible, practical buy. We hope sincerely that it is for you. - Dixon be appointed (ax supervisor Tor ■ Chowan County, with a salary of SIOO ; per month, .with duties of the office , to begin October 1,1960. 11 The following reports were accepted t and ordered filed: Sheriff, J.
