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.

Hot dry summer weather will soon
be with us again and I wish to em
phasize the fact that plenty of water
is essential to good quality in vege
tables, especially the fast-growing
leafy crops. 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. <

rot and will usually increase yields of
early fruit.
If you like summer greens you
should try New Zealand spinach.
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.

Over a quarter million people visit
