Nematodes Now
Causing Problem
Damage Spreading to
Almost All Farm
Oops
Nematodes are becoming an in
creasing- problem to the Chowan
County farmers, according to Coun
ty Agent- C. W. Overman. Small
areas of a field of young tomatoes
were found to be infested with
nematodes last week. The plants
in these areas were very stunted
and some of them were dying.
During the past two years, nema
tode infestation and damage has
been fopnd in tobacco, peanuts,
cantaloupe's, tomatoes, and some
other crpps. In these> fields the
damage was sufficient-! to cause a
considerable loss,of plants. Just
how widely spread small infesta
tions are is not know but they are
more extensive than at first rea
lized. Nematodes are microscopic
animals attacking the fine feeder
roots' of plants. Different types of
nematodes attack different types of
plants and very few nematodes at
tack a large number of different
crops. According to information,
proper crop rotation can do much
toward holding nematode infesta
tion in check.
Farmers should learn what crop
rotation to follow in keeping the
nematodes in check. When areas
of plants are dying, plants are ob
served and the trouble cannot be
readily identified, the County
Agents’ office should be notified so
that plant and soil samples can be
sent into the 'laboratory to deter
mine if the problem is due to nem
atodes and, if so, which ones.
Proper soil fumigation is doing a
good job controlling nematode in
festation in the soil but this is ex
pensive. is not justi
fied unlegfi there areVnematodes to
be ] controlled. County agents are
ready app; willing r.to work with

In the field of economic affairs,'
what people expect to happen has
an influence on what actually doesj
happen. If enough people become j
pessimistic as to the business out- 1
look, they can bring about the very
decline they fear. If they are op
timistic they will be encouraged, to
buy and produce and invest, and in |
general do the things which create!
good business. J
The consumers of the country
(and that means everybody) have
become much more optimistic than
they were a year ago. This is re
vealed in a survey of the nation’s
consumers •conducted by th, Fed
eral Reserve Board in ea'ly 1955.
A clear majority—s 9 per cent —-de-
clared : that they expect “good
times” during the current year.
This compares with only 43 per
cent who had indicated the same
degree of optimism in early 1954. j
A certain number of people are i
bound to he pessimistic, hut in
1955 only 12 per cent of all c.o.n-|
sumers stated that they expect this'
year to .be one of “bad times."
June Will Be Observed
National Dairy Month
June is the traditional “Dairy
Month” and in keeping with this !
national observance, there will he a
wealth of milk and ’other dairy
products on the market at prices
considerably lower than last year.
June, is also a hot month in
North Carolina arid there's not
much you can find that’s more re
freshing than a tall, cod glass of
millc or an icy, fresh fruit sher
bet.
According to Jo Karp. State Col-
“I’VE GOT ALL THE
INSURANCE I NEED”
H “Os course, if someone was injured in my
car and won a law suit, it might ruin me
financially.
“The way prices have gone up, guess I'd
he in a fix if a fire destroyed our home. We r
couldn’t rebuild, With the insurance I cany. j
It's been 10 years since w, increased our |
fir» insurance coverage.
“Come to think of it, maybe I haven’t got j
all the. insurance 1 need. . Say. what’s the i
telephone number of the Twiddy Insurance j
V Real Estate Company'.’ Phone 413?
Thanks.”
1
More than twice as many. 25 per
cent, had been definitely pessimis
tic a year earlier.
i In both surveys, a substantia!
number of consumers gave answers j
which could not be classified asj
either definitely optimistic or defi-!
initely pessimistic. Some of them
[stated that they expected only
(“fair times", some Were uncertain,
and the expectations of others
i could not: be clearly ascertained, i
This group of neutral, or uncer
. tain, or unresponsive consumers j
remained about tile same—32 per:
cent in early 1954 and 29 per cent
in early 1955, If this, non-commit
tal group is eliminated from the
1955 survey, more than SO per cent
of the remaining consumers see
■ good times ahead.
This increasing prevalence of op
timism fs in 'itself a good sign.'
-JConsumers, are not preparing to]
i retrench or retreat. They have j
j evidently not been seriously tnflu
; fenced by propagandistic predictions
' l-of disaster.
lege extension nutritionist, if you
want to he at your very best all
the time, drink milk—and cook anil ,
serve with milk. It's a good habit !
for good living. It puts pep into
your step.
Milk ?•■ drink, milk on your cer
eal. cream in your coffee, milk
gravies, cream sauces, puddings
' and ice creams—there are hundreds
of ways in Which to use nature’s
most perfect food.
June Dairy Month is also berrv
; time so why .riot: serve some fresh
berries topped with cream, Big 1
I red strawberries smothered in rich,
smooth cream—or dewberries and :

cream.’ Just top a fruit shortcake |
with whipped cream ..and you’ve
added the touch that makes people
ask for more. For double deli
ciousness in good eating, just pour
on the cream.
And here are some figures about
milk that are worth remembering:
one quart of milk gives the phy-1
j sieally active adult 49 per cent of |
his daily protein need; 22 per cent
of his daily calories; 48 per cent |
iof the phosphorous; more than 100
j per cent of the calcium; 30 per cent
of the vitamin A; 22 per cent of the
thiamine; 92 per cent of the ribo
flavin; 17 per cent of the vitamin
jC; and 0 per cent of his daily nia
! e-in need.

I America by 1975 will probably be
i a; land which small atomic installa
tions in the home will provid,. nil
| of our required power, according to
a report by the National Associa
tion of Manufacturers.
The NAM cites part of an article
by David Santoff. chairman of the
Radio Corporation of America, in
( Fortune Magazine early this year
to show us our atomic future.
“I do not hesitate to forecast
j that atomic batteries will he com
monplace long before 1980. The
waste products front the fast-mul
tiplying commercial reactors will
make available abundant captive
radiation for direct conversion in
to electricity. Small atomic gen
erators, installed in the home and
J industrial plants, will provide pow
jer for years and ultimately for a
lifetime without recharging. Coal,
oil and gas will be increasingly dis
placed as fuel by nuclear energy,
but will in turn be devoted to other
' uses by new developments of chem

[Airplane Answer Need
For Control Os Insects
Airplane spraying with new in

provided the first practical means
for controlling epidemic outbreaks

Research in the specialized field
of aerial spraying is being conduct
ed cooperatively by the U. S. For
est Service and the Agricultural
Research Service at the Depart
ment’s Agricultural Research Cen

directed toward developing equip
ment and sprays that will increase
the effvtivenhss and reduce the
cost of this method of bisect con

During the past eight years, over
five ‘.million acres of forest land
have been successfully treated by
aerial spraying, and control costs
have been reduced from S 3 to ap
