190 Bushels Pine !
Cones Collected
i
Seed Sent to Tree Nurs
eries For Seedlings In
Reforestation
fßstrict Forester 0. T. Wynne and
owan County Forest Ranger Frank
V. White of the N. C. Department of ,
Conservation and Development, Divis- ,
ion of Forestry, announce that 190
bushels of pine cones were collected .
in Chowan County this season. These
cones were collected by students of
Edenton schools under the supervision
of Mr. White.
Pine cones are collected each year
so that seed can be extracted by the
division’s forest tree nurseries and
planted to grow pine tree seedlings
for distribution and use in North Car
olina for reforestation. The seed col
lected in this area will be returned to I
the north coastal plain in the form of |
seedlings so that trees planted here
will have their origin in the same
general locality. |
The N. C. Forest Service and Coun-j
ty Ranger White wish to express their [
sincere appreciation to all who assist-]
ed in this project.
Chowan Peanut Yield i
Better Than Expected
i
Many Chowan County peanut grow
ers are wearing broad smiles this
week due to surprisingly good peanut
yields. Yields up to almost 50 bags
per acre have been reported. Four
weeks ago the stem rot disease was
very prevalent causing considerable'
damage on many farms. Growers |
were wearing rather long faces, stat
ing that the peanuts were ruined, but,
the damage turned out to be much |
less than expected.
In the Cross Roads community J. E.
Baker and Colon Forehand reported
yields of almost 35 bags per acre av
eraging around 83 to 85 pounds per
bag. The grade is good.
In the Gliden community several
farmers reported yields were running
28 to 30 bags per acre. Two farmers
reported 40 bags per acre. On Fri
day rumors were going the rounds
that one grower was making 104 bags
of peanuts on two acres.
In the Rocky Hock area and the
Advance community good yields are
being reported. On the other hand,
some growers have reported yields of
only 15 to 18 bags per acre and there
no doubt will be some smaller than
this.
jflTOe majority of the peanut growers
County are very happy
with the blessing of a good peanut
yield for such a dry year.

A cow testing campaign is in pro
gress in Chowan County to test all
cattle six months of age and up. Dr.
Bradshaw of the Federal Veterinary
! Service is in the piocess of testing
cattle in the county The main test is
for bangs disease.
A few cattle spotted over the coun
ty will be tested for tuberculosis. Dr.
Bradshaw states that no TB has been
found in cattle in this area in a very
| long time and, therefore, a spot check
■ is all that is necessary.
The County Extension office is try
ing to cooperate fully with Dr. Brad
jshaw in this campaign. Cattle own
ers have been listed in communities, a
schedule worked out and the owners
1 notified in advance of the time to ex
