' oidt or us ,x\ ti* <\ H n... t<jtL {%£ faL-Ln^..^ Group Os Farmers Consider Research At £ City Meeting Referendum November 3 to Vote For or Against Plan A small group of leading farmers, and some Extension Agents and some agricultural workers met at Eliza beth City on Friday afternoon to learn more about the proposed means for supporting greater agricultural research. It is through reseach that better varieties, disease resistant va rieties, and all the new things‘in ag riculture are developed. Good re search workers are in very high de mand. North Carolina wants the best but it costs money in addition to reg ular appropriations. One serious problem facing peanut growers at the present time is the damage and loss caused .by Southern Stem or Root Rot. Granville Wilt and Black Shank in tobacco became ( alarming problems bat through re search resistant varieties were de veloped. It is realized that these resistant varieties are not near per fect but are far better than fields dy ing from these diseases causing grow ers to go out of business. It will be through research that a Southern Stem Rot resistant variety of peanuts will be found although it may take many years. The last General Assembly made it possible for the farm people of North Carolina to cooperate in. supporting agricultural research financially if they want to. By adding five cents to the price of each ton of seed and fertilizer used farm people can contri bute SIOO,OOO to $150,000 annually to the research program. This will amount to an avR-age of about forty cents per farm, each farm contribut ing in proportion to the tons of feed and fertilizer used.. Every farmer will participate and have some pan. On November 3, a referendum will be held giving farm people in North Carolina an opportunity to vote for or against this plan. | Hospital Patients] Patients in Chowan Hospital as of Monday of this week were: White Vernon L.
