ASG Chairman Urges Observation Os Rule On Cotton Acreage Farmers will find it considerably to their advantage to plant within their cotton acreage allotments this year, W. A. Harrell, chairman of the Cho wan County ASC Committee, reminds growers. It is fairly well understood, Mr. lAnell explained, that under the cot- quota-acreage allotment program, each pound of excess cot ton grown by farmers who do not comply with their cotton allotments will be subject to a penalty. What’s not always understood or remembered is the fact that a grower who does not plant within his cotton allotment will lose any cost-sharing assistance which might otherwise be available to him under the Agricul tural Conservation Program, and his cotton likewise will not be eligible for a government price support loan. So it’s to the grower’s financial ad vantage to grow only his share of the national cotton marketing quota— which is the amount of cotton produc-1 ed from his acreage allotment. Os course all cotton grown within the al lotment may be marketed free. Cotton marketing quotas were ap proved by 94 per cent of the growers who voted in a national referendum on the question last December. The quotas are made operative through acreage allotments, which are estab lished for states, counties and indivi dual farms. ■■ SPECIAL PURCHASE ■ STU**^® I SIO.OO Delivers —$1.50 Per Week You can use this comfortable Sofa Bed in the nicest living room, with high fashion ac cessories and be sure it will be right... that nobody ... no NOBODY would ever dream that your good looking sofa became a comfortable bed at night...

News About Clubs lit Chowan County By HATTIE SINGLETARY I Home Demonstration Agent Next week, May 2-8, Chowan Home Demonstration Club women will join with other club women in the United , States, Territories of Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico in observing Nation ! al Home Demonstration Club Week. At this time, rural women will put their achievements on exhibit. You may hear about and perhaps see for yourself what a neighbor or friend has i accomplished through the practical, 1 down-to-earth method of getting and 1 applying knowledge to family, home ■ and community problems. American Club women will open . their homes to the foreign students , in American colleges in order to foster ■ better relationships between the na- j tions of the world. Two students of North Carolina State College have been invited to spend next week-end , in Chowan County as guests of Home ; Demonstration members. Members of the Center Hill Club : will give a special radio program on Tuesday, May 4th at 12:45 P. M., over Station WGAI in Elizabeth City. Each Home Demonstration Club in i the county will have an article in this 1 paper next week. The highlight of the week’s activi ties will be a County Community Sing Friday, May 7, at 8:00 P. M., at the Chowan High School. Each Club will sponsor two special numbers for the program. Mrs. I. E. Halsey, County Council President, thinks this will be a very enjoyable evening. Will you and your family make an effort to attend this meeting? Azalea Leaf Galls Frank Haasis, Plant Pathologist, says a disease known as leaf gall is very common on azaleas at this time of the year. It’s especially wide spread when it is cool and damp. The diseased portion of the leaf be comes thick and fleshy and has a pale or yellowish green color. At maturi ty the galls are covered with a white powdery material. The disease is per haps more alarming than it is destruc tive, although it will weaken the plant if it is severely infected. You can control the disease by pick ing off the leaves and burning them. Remove the diseased leaves before they develop spores (fine white pow der) which will infect other leaves. If picking off the leaves isn’t prac tical, spray the plants with bordeaux mixture in late March and continue at two week intervals until the middle of May. Bordeaux will discolor the bloom so time the spray to miss the blos soms as much as possible. When the weather becomes hot and dry, this disease usually disappears of its own accord, but will probably appear again next spring if weather conditions are right.

By controlling southern com rootworms, increased yields of 5 to 7 bags per acre were obtained in the counties surveyed. “Equally important, though, was the improvement in the quality of the peanuts from treated soil. 3,250 acres in Nansemond county alone showed a 25% yield increase and an increase in quality of from to per pound, or approximately $40,000 for the county.” Although these results were obtained in heavy soil, treatment of light soils promises to pay for itself many times over too. Aldrin is by far the most popular soil insecticide on peanuts.
