SECTION TWO V •• ~ “y V, 1 QSK ne Roundup ' ! By Wilborne Harrell J Today—ls Easter,: like Christmas, in danger of becoming over-com mercialized? Or becoming just another secular holiday? Easter Sunday, the day that should be observed in rev erence, is fast becoming just the setting for a vast fashion pa rade —for men and women to show off new clothes and hats. The sale of Eas ter finery is one of the largest as- ...LIL pects of a commercialized Easter. Each year the fashion parade on New York’s Fiftii Avenue alone attracts over a million people, not to mention the lesser “Avenues” throughout the nation. And then there' are the salqj of bunny rab bits, Easter eggs, Easter cards, candies, flowers, baskets, and a long list of similar items that have no real Easter significance. Easter is celebrated in commem oration of the resurrection of Je sus Christ. On that day we should attend church with that in mind, but far too many of us go AROUND THE FARMS IN CHOWAN By C. W. OVERMAN, Chowan County Agent 1 New Farrowing House Completed I visited the W. W. Byrum farm in Enterprise community in which a new central farrowing house is already completed.

Robert Oppenheimer, and j deplore his removal from the ac tive scientific scene—where his : genius would serve tne United States best—it strikes me that there is something wrong some where. Dr. Oppenheimer’s se curity clearance, you may re call, was withdrawn four yearr ago. He was dismissed as a gov ernment consultant but cleared o’ being a communist, and confirm ed in his loyalty to the United States. Now, Dr. Wernher vor Braun, the man behind the Ex plorer Satellite, in a recent speech ' took a stand in behalf of Oppen heimer . . . The United States ha: lost much valuable ground in the deadly race with communism by such maudlin tactics as were cm ployed in the Oppenheimer case Frankly. I don’t qiyte understand the setup—how a man can b< considered a security risk, filed from his job, and at the same time be termed a loyal subject of the United States.

Greenhouse Problems Investigated T. S. Leary and Sons of Rocky Hock community planned early I flower plant production. Green | house soil was fumigated with | Methyl Bromide. Seed was plant led in flats. Fairly good germina -1 tion of seed resulted but soon af ter the plants began to die. The Leary’s had followed good disease control measures in the greenhouse. The problem appear ed to be one of disease. The j county agent called in H. R.

Bridges, w ho serves as pastor for several churches wear the town of Swastika in the sparsely settled Hough Lake region of Ontario. Canada. The 34-year-old woman, ordained in 1950, is a minister of the United Church of Canada. that there was something in the toil which was toxic to the young rlants. I Mr. Leary informed us that the greenhouse soil was fumigated in i pile under'rather adverse wea-j ther conditions. The treating cov-j ?r was left on the soil for ap proximately a week rather than ’ a maximum of 72 hours. This caused bromine to begin incor- j porating in the soil particles mak-] .ng it more difficult for these to] rscape when the cover w-as re- i moved. The soil was used for planting about two Weeks after, t was treated. Mr. Garris was pretty confi dent that the plant trouble was | caused by bromine which was not i cleared. To avoid this trouble in the future, the following recom mendation was made. Treat the j soil at least 30 to 40 days before | it is to be used. Apply soil treat- ! ing chemical when the soil tern- ] I perature is not below 45 degrees, 1 preferably higher. If weather is fairly warm, remove the cover after 36 hours. Regardless of weather conditions do not leave treating cover on -more than 72 hours. When the cover is remov ed permit the soil to air out for; tw-o or three days, then turn the soil completely. After another week of airing turn or complete ly screen the soil again. If the soil is not used within 30 days af ter treating and the above recom mendations are followed, there should not be any ill effects from , the treatment. This is a good practice to follow ; in vegetable plant beds, tobacco ] beds, and other beds which are to] be used for plant growing. Bee Colonies Appear To Be In Good Shape Extension Specialist W. A. Ste- j I phen and I visited many of the j beekeepers in the county on j Tuesday. In each case the col-I onies were examined and bee -1 keepers advised on management i practices. Very few colonies were found I to be in need of additional food, jin general, the colonies were ini : good shape and ready for a good ! honey flow this spring. Beekeep -1 ers should check their colonies i immediately if they haven’t re- I cently done so. See if the queen j appears to be strong and is laying | well for this time of year. If the [queen is working in the upper ] chamber, place jt on the bottom ]so that she can work up when that is filled with brood. Check carefully to see that there is a good supply of food in the hive, j A good .strong colony, of bees should have at least the equiva lent of a shallow super of honey for food until the honey flow starts. If food is needed, make I a sugar syrup of one half water and one half sugar by dissolving the* sugar well. Punch a lot of I small, holes in the lid of a fruit j jar or can to use to hold the sy rup. Turn this bottom up in the, hive so that the bees can draw] from it. Now is a good time to clean the hives up in good shape for the honey flow. With a ihve tool scrape off all of the excess wax and gum which the bees place around the ends of the frames. Clean hives are so much easier to work with and managed so much better. When the honey flow starts give each hive one empty super for the surplus. As soon as one super is about one half to two thirds filled, add an other. Never let your bees get without sufficient room to put the honey. Call on your county agent if you need assistance. GUM POND CLUB MEETS The Gum Pond Home Demon stration Club met in March with Mrs. Carey Evans. With the com ing of spring and summer, the topic for the demonstration at this meeting, “Fabrics—Synthet ics and Blends”, was a most in formative one. This demonstra tion was given by Miss Maidred Morris, home agent. Everyone was eager to hear Miss Morris explain the different types of new materials on the market for ready-made clothes and also for home sewing. She told the club how these new materials should be used and taken care of for the best advantage. Mrs. Ellie Bunch gave a report on plant life. The Club joined the Hospital Auxiliary and Mrs. Florine Nixon and Miss Beulah Evans were ap pointed to put flowers in the hos pital.
