Southern Stem Rot Cuts Peanut Yield One of the things peanut farm ers worry about most is south ern stem rot, a serious disease that causes trouble every year. A State College plant pathologist says losses due to this fungus di sease can often be reduced by fol lowing a few simple practices and treatments. J. C. Wells of the N. C. Agri cultural Extension Service at I State College, says southern stem ] rot is favored by warm weather, j thus it causes the greatest injury! during the summer, ifis caused by a fungus that lives in the soil on roots, stems and leaves of the previous year’s crop. This fungus attacks the plants through the root system or the stems just above or below the soil level. Symptoms of the disease are root decay, a light brown rot at the base of the stem frequently kill ing the stem and foliage, and the decay of pods. During wet pe riods a cottony fungous growth forms on the dead areas around ,the base of the plant. Later small, hard yellow or light brown colored bodies resembling must ard seed form on the infected stems and on the soil surrounding them. These bodies function as “seed” in carrving the fungus from year to year. Factors influencing outbreaks of this disease are not understood. Both the cropping history of the field and cultivation practices - during the late summer, as well as climatic factors, aDDear to in fluence the severity of the disease. Outbreaks are usually worse fol lowing excessive hilling or bed n ding of the plants by cultivation and where there is a naccumula tion of shattered leaves around the base of the plant. Losses can often be minimized by crop rotations (using such crops as small grain, corn and cotton); dusting to control leaf spot disease to prevent the ac cumulation of shattered leaves around the base of the plant; aqd flat cultivation to prevent soil from being piled up on the plants. Chemical control with terraclor plus landplaster has proven satis factory. The terraclor-landplas ter mixture, applied at the rate of 400 pounds per acre the first week in July, resulted in increased yield in nine out of eleven tests.

That’s an honored oplhion among gourmet - gardeners and it also is a tip-off on how a small growing area can be put to its widest possible use. The largest yield for the space occupied is given by the vege tables whose leaves are eaten. The variety of salad leaves which you grow can seldom be matched in the market when you serve them garden fresh, your guests and family will give you top hon ors as a salad specialist. Lettuces of course head the list. Salad chefs prefer varieties which make tender green leaves, rather than the tight bleached heads. The green also is a sign of high vitamin content. There are many excellent varieties of leaf and loose-heading lettuce, including the cos or romaine tjpe which has top rating for salad use. .There are few parts of the coun try where tight-heading lettuce can be matured. Several short rows sown at in tervals of two weeks or more are better than long rows which may lose quality before they are used. Figure on one foot of row to serve four people and make each sow ing long enough to last two weeks. All lettuce varieties go to seed in hot weather. The best salad leaves to take their place are endives of two types, one broad leaved and one curly. Broad leaved endive makes large, tight heads, bleached at the base. Cur ly leaves are narrow in loose heads. A crop from cither will retain good qualify for six weeks. Endive improves in flavor when touched by and can oe har vested until frozen hard. Lettuce can be sown about Aug. 1 for Fail crop?.

NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY, JULY 11, 1957. can be grown in the Fall. Excellent salad leayes for FaH are those of Chinese cabbage, which matures in 70 days from seeding in late July. The leaves are tender and crisp, with a deli cate cabbage flavor, and are deli cious raw or cooked. Os many garden herbs used in salads, sweet basil is most pop ular. Plants can be started from seed sown now and the leaves can be used all season in salads or to flavor soups, stews and fish. To combine with green leaves, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions and chives are popular. Chives are easily grown by dividing a typi cal bunch sold in markets and planting each stem with its roots intact. Set them about six inches apart and you can soon cut the tubular leaves to add a delicate onion flavor to the salad. Such a planting will last for years. Cucumbers an.', tomatoes can be grown on a ugHi.'i or picket fence, taking no more ground space than a low of leilucc. Green onions grown in, n acta and smrjl globe radishes from seed will give you the first he;vest of the season if you plant them now. In three weeks' of favorable weather you car serve this ap petizing combination. Your own vine 'ripened toma toes have a flavor which is never equaled by Ihjse picked before they ripen. No vegetable excels them in vitamin content and nu tritive qualities. One of the tenderest vegetables, tomato plants can r.ewthelese be grown with good results f’-om seed sown directly in the garden.

CHARLTON, Negro Home Demonstration Agent Hints For Keeping An Orderly HomeiDuring Rush Periods We are in the midst of the farming season, and there are so many things to do. Do you think this old adage is true? “Man works from sun to sun; woman’s work is never done.” We are really up against it, be cause we do so many things. We help with the farm work. We wash, iron, prepare and serve food. We attend to the baby. We try to do a little sewing, some try to attend club meetings while others fall by the wayside and say “I just don’t have time.” It all adds up that we work approxi mately twelve to fifteen hours a day. We never finish. We just stop and go to bed. Try not to let your house work get away from you, because it keeps you nervous, upset, and takes something away from your personality. It will make you feel mighty good to leave the house, go out to help on the farm, and | return at the end of the day and find yous house clean and order i" 'pi — _ 4 WASH Z SPUDS! 4 SPIN I • • SPEEDS! > 1 I TOM CMOKI of Normal or Slow j wash speeds, Normal or Slaw ,> ;:?!

For that (reason, call the fam ily together tonight and discuss your problems with them and ask what can eaoh member of the family do to make the work eas ier. Work out a simple plan with them. Let each person contribute his share in helping to make housekeeping duties easier and at the same time help to keep the house clean and orderly, especial ly during the busy farming sea son. Plan something for everyone to do and have confidence that they will do their share of the work. Ask each member of the family to hang his own clothes and put away shoes, hats, books, papers, magazines, and any other ar ticles that have been used before the room gets a scattered appear ance. (Ask an older person to take care of the smaller ones). Ask each person to make his own bed before he goes to work. A.sk : each one to keep the floor clean and dust once a week. Plan nutritious meals for the: family, and save time by cookinga two meals at the same time. Plan to do your laundry work once a 1 week instead of once a month, it! will be easier on you and your : washing machine. Scrajte, stack, j wash dishes, scald and allow them to drain dry. Sewing and mend- ‘ ind may be done by the 4-H Club girl or during the slack season. As a rule it is not necessary for every member of the family to be out on the farm at the same time. Generally one per son is in charge of doing all household tasks while the farm jobs are being done by others. A family exchange system may be worked out where the house ; keeper would exchange places with the person doing farm jobs foi, perhaps, a week or two. When different jobs are chang ed about, no job will become too. tiresome. • . You may know of other sim ple short cuts which you can put into ' practice, but above all, try to keep your house clean and orderly during the fanning sea son. All 4-H Club girls who are | carrying the Enriched Corn | Meal Breadmaking Project are asked to meet at the home agent’s office Saturday, July 13 at 2:00 P. M.
