SECTION ONE—i Bank Os Edenton Is Congratulated For Its Full Cooperation Interest Shown In 4-H Club Work Is Very Encouraging Chowan County business firms andj individuals cooperated to the fullest, extent in the 9th annual Albemarle 1 Fatstock Show and Sale. Chowan County 4-H Club members had three fat steers at this sale and all of the steers were bought by Chowan County firms or individuals. The Bank of Edenton bought the steer which Cheryl Hobbs entered in the show and paid 31c per pound. Cheryl had a Hereford steer which' weighed 850 pounds and graded choice. The Bank of Edenton is to be congrat ulated for its cooperation and backing of the show and sale. Carlton Perry’s Hereford steer which weighed 820 pounds was bought jointly by Doctors Frank Wood, Rich-' ard Hardin and Colonial Frozen Foods. Ronald Perry’s steer weighed 810 pounds and was bought by the Colonial Frozen Foods also. H. Ivey Ward, Chowan Club mem ber of Ryland, whose Hereford Steer was Grand Champion in 1953, had a great misfortune prior to the sale this year. His steer got out of the lot, on the highway and was run over. The accident happened on Monday, May 10th. H. Ivey Ward had spent a great deal of time training and working with his steer and it was a great loss not to be able to enter the steer in the show and sale and also compete for showmanship honors. A group of H. Ivey’s friends from Chowan and Perquimans counties made contribu tions to H. Ivey so that he can get < started with a steer for the show and : sale next year. It is very encouraging the interest which is being shown by the officials < of The Bank of Edenton and the many [ individuals in business firms in Edenton concerning a similar show, and sale for Chowan County.

If they lack sufficient | water for just a few days they will ■ become stunted, fibrous and tough. 'During hot weather vegetables re quire about one inch of water each ! week, -whether it is supplied artificial ly or by rain. Os course they will sur vive without that much water but they will be of much lower quality because of the stunted growth. It is a lot of trouble to stake toma toes but it pays. You can control di sease better and you will have less ‘ sun scald. Prune the plants to two j main stems and tie them to the stakes with soft twine or “twistems”. A | mulch will help present blossom-end Vegetable Weevil Also Attacks Tobacco Plants Vegetable weevils have caused se vere damage to newly set tobacco in many areas of North Carolina in the past few days, according to H. Eldon Scott, entomologist for the N. C. State College Extension Service. Scott said that in some fields more than half of the plants have been dam- 1 aged. Other reports indicate heavy infestations—from eight to 12 weevils per plant. The weevils are about one-third inch long, dull grayish-brown in color, with a pale grayish V-shaped marking on the posterior one-third of the wing covers. The larvae are slug-like and greenish in color. The entomologist warned farmers to watch their tobacco closely for a few days after transplanting. Usually the ! activity of these destructive pests is ; not as great in hot weather. Infestations may be kept in check or brought under control by follow ing this program: 1. Treat plants with DDT before I , they leave the plant bed. 2. If small numbers of -weevils are present, DDT may be used on newly < set plants, \ 3. If the infestation is heavy, para- ' thion or aldrin sprays or dusts should he used. Parathion or aldrin kill the | weevils somewhat faster than DDT. | Therefore either is recommended i where severe infestations are already present. < 1 ' A really great man is known by I three signs—generosity in the design, i humanity in the execution, moderation ( in success. —Bismarck. s THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N.

There is still time to plant it and make a good summer crop. It is not related to common spinach and most people who have tried it like it. The seeds are large, hard fruits. They should be soaked in water for a day before planting. Drop two seeds per hill with hills a foot apart. The plant is large and spreading. The part har vested is the tender growing tip— about three inches of the stem with the young leaves. Don’t neglect insect and disease con trol for day. The bugs don’t go fishing even on Sundays. Nobody likes to eat wormy cabbage or greens ithat are full of aphids. Travel Business In State Is Increasing! Over a quarter million people visit ed North Carolina’s three principal park facilities in the first three months of 1954. Official counts show ed 512,121 visitors to the Blue Ridge j I Parkway, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and Wright Brother (National Memorial near the entrance to the new Cape Hatteras National Seashore. j This is an increase of 169,260 over the corresponding period of 1953. The Blue Ridge Parkway showed the lar gest increase in winter use, a gain of 187,081 over first quarter travel in 1953. The Great Smoky Mountains Park showed the only decrease —19,- 141 less than reported last year. Win- ( ter use of North Carolina’s 11 State Parks nearly doubled. First quarter j attendance for 1954 was reported at. 144,348 as compared with 74,426.
