George V. Denny, founder and mod

has a little ball that he likes to dis-j
play when intolerance is discussed. He

The person questioned takes a quick

J Denny shakes his head. “The part

' ball a twirl. The other half is white.

The second annual field day was

farm was held in the afternoon.
The North Carolina Peanut Grow

Nagging Backache
When kidney function slows down, many
folks complain of nagging backache, loss of
pep and energy, headaches and dizziness.
Don’t suffer longer with these discomforts
if reduced kidney function is getting you
down —due to such common causes as stress
and strain, over-exertion or exposure to
cold. Minor bladder irritations due to cold,
dampness or wrong diet may cause getting
up nights or frequent passages.
Don’t neglect your kidneys if these condi
tions bother you. Try Doan’s mild
diuretic. Used successfully by millions for
over 50 years. While often otherwise caused,
it’s amazing how many times Doan’s give
happy relief from these discomforts —help
the 15 miles of kidney tubes and filters

The point that Denny makes is that
he and the other man can never agree
on the color of the ball unless each
knows the other’s point of view. Many
of our disagreements could be settled
if folks would look at both sides of
the ball. In our haste we give a quick
glance at a problem and immediate
ly decide the “color of the ball”.
We may never be called on to settle
international or even national disputes.
However, each day we discuss some
problem or some person and pass
judgment. Before we criticize, let us
stop a moment and try to see the
problem from their point of view. We
, can make friends that way.
ing and informative. Two types of
peanut combines were demonstrated.
Other peanut harvesting equipment
was demonstrated.
Dr. W. C. Gregory, research peanut
breeder, explained briefly the peanut
breeding program. He stated that it
takes about ten years to develop a
new variety and get it into production.
The plant and row spacing work
gives us an idea of about the best
spacing for maximum fields.
The lime and fertilizer experiment
plots showed much variation. Brief
ly, we must have ample lime and pot
ash to make best yields and quality.
Crop rotation experiments are in
progress and these were observed.
Briefly, peanuts following com or
vegetables show better results than
following cotton, sweet potatoes or
soybeans.
The field day was truly educational
and beneficial. Approximately 25
Chowan growers attended.

disease is very prevalent in this field.
Disease infection was counted in an
equal area on each variety. N. C.-2
had 12 infected hills, N. C.-l had 27,
C-42 had 45 and the local runner had
43. C-42 is very susceptible to stem
rot and may be discarded. N. C. 2
is showing very good resistance and
N. C.-l shows more resistance than
the local runner. Another count will
be made before digging.
