PAGE TWO —SECTTi/N I*^o— 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.

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."
