PAGE TWO >—BECTTON TWO AROUND THE FARMS W CHOWAN, By C. W. OVERMAN, Chowan County Agent } Southern Stem and Pod Rot in Peanuts: More than normal pod rot is appearing in peanuts this season. This is bad, but you growers can make it worse by digging too soon. Premature diggings will cut your yield and your quality. Dig ging too early will not stop the pod rot because it is stopped now. Every peanut that is infect ed will either rot in the ground or in the stack. By letting your corp mature before digging, the good peanuts will grade better, weigh more and sell for more. What About The Fall and Win ter Garden: Are you doing what you can to "Live At Home and Board There”? A good home garden builds health and saves. money. Last week I was by the Home 1 Feed and Fertilizer Company and they had a bag each of white and yellow onion sets. I bought three quarts and set them for winter use. Onion sets set now and fer tilized on top with plenty of nit rogen after they sprout up will; make large green onions for use this winter. Sow lettuce, spinach, kale, tur nip and other greens for winter and early spring use. In Octo ber, sow cabbage, cauliflower, | SOIL CONSERVATION NEWS By JAMES H. GRIFFIN, Soil Conservationist Don’t turn your crotalaria under until frost kills it. Several farm-! ers are asking when it should be | plowed under. If you wait until frost kills it, you will receive full benefit from growing it. Cro talaria does most of its growing and making of nitrogen this time of the year (just before frost). To turn it early, you would lose this benefit. Mr. L. E. Emminizer pointed | out another use of crotalaria. Hej says it is a good wildlife plant. Meaning that quail use it for nest ing during the summer and for field cover in the winter. Don’t destroy these many bene fits by plowing it under before) frost. Conservation Reserve is being discussed quite a bit these days* It’s a good program if it fits your type of farming. The ten year contract should work very good for pine tree production. Here in Chowan we have soils that will grow a loblolly pine as fast as any place in the United States. In ten years a pine tree will be almost pulpwood size. In another ten years (20) years plenty of good pulpwood will be ayailable and by thirty years saw logs will bej available. As in growing any other crop, trees need good man agement. These managerial prac tices can be carried out with little or no cost to the landowner.

Harvesting and Storing Sweet Potatoes: This done properly means the difference between pro fit and loss. Since we grow sweet potatoes for profit, let’s ob serve some important practices. First, fumigate the storage house and containers. Larvacide is one of the most effective, sim ple and convenient fumigants to use. See your County Agent or Vocational Agricultural teacher for instructions. Next, dig your potatoes when the most of them will make num ber one size. Be sure to dig be fore killing frost. Grade into number ones, jumbos, and seed or | canning stock as they are picked | off. Handle sweet potatoes as if I they are eggs. Bruises won’t al ways ruin a potato but they im pair the looks and sale value. I Start storage heat going when you start digging. Place first containers fartherest from heat so that last ones will be nearest the j heat for even cure. Cure at eighty ‘ to eighty-five degrees until pota- I toes feel velvety and few eyes be- I gin to swell on stem end. Then ; turn off heat and try to keep j house temperature between fifty ,! and sixty degrees. trol of “weeds” (undesirable spe cies of trees), control of fire, di sease and insects. Go by your lo cal ASC office today if you are interested in the conservation re serve. Other practices are available; under the Conservation Reserve besides trees. Grasses such as Fescue, Bahia, Coastal Bermuda can be used. Sericea Lespedeza is a very good soil-builder. It can be used for any length of contract. Annual legumes, such as cro talaria, can be used. After you have decided to use the Conservation Reserve, contact myself or any other Agricultural worker for recommendation on the crop to grow. Now is the time to plan those fall drainage jobs. Raleigh Peele of Rocky Hock is planning open ditch drainage and tile drainage for his farms this winter. E. D. Byrum of Ryland community has his tile installed. He reports that plenty of water is flowing from the outlet. J. B. Hollowell and F. V. White have their tile in now. B. P. Monds of Center Hill is planning open ditch drainage on the farm he recently purchased on Crossroads-Center Hill road. Vernon Lane nad L. C. Bunch are having ponds dug on their farms. Wallace Goodwin is plan ning to install more tile this win ter. Wallace says he wouldn’t THE CHOWAN HERALP. EPENTON, WORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY OCTOBER 1 1IS», IN G fOOTB»y Coach Billings’ Edenton Aces caught fire last Friday night and as a result walloped Scotland Neck by a one-sided score of 31-0 to add another conference victory to their credit. The Aces played heads-up ball throughout the en tire game. Robert White led the attack, scoring two TD’s. Bubba Hopkins, Fred Britton and Leroy Spivey also contributed to the cause by scoring one TD each. The Aces’ line played a pressing game all the way and are to be commended. Friday night of this week the Aces will travel to Elizabeth City to tangle with the Yellow Jackets. I predict the score of this game to be something like this: E. City 12, Edenton 6. The Edenton Hornets lost their first game of the season to Winfall last Friday afternoon by a score of 28-24. The Hornets were behind at several stages of the game but came to life in the last quarter. Sherman Horton scored 2 TD’s, Pete Holley made one and John ny Bond made one. Coach Hunt er stated that the Hornets should have won this game but made quite a few errors which he point ed out to them in practice sessions this week. The Hornets made 14 first downs while Winfall made I 11. The Hornets have a new player, Lonell Overton, a Kne-| man. He played his first game Friday against Winfall and the coach is pleased with his playing. Be on hand when the Hornets play Williams High Friday night. My prediction is that the score will be: Edenton 18, William ston, 6. Be with you again next week J take anything for the tile he in stalled two springs ago. Claude Small says his tile cost him two hundred dollars, but he wouldn’t take eight hundred dol lars for it, and he says he needs money badly. Landowners in Burnt Mill Drainage District met last Tues day night (September 24) at Beth el Community Building and voted to apply for assistance under the Small Watershed Act (P.L.566). The drainage commissioner will ! meet this week and file applica tion for the group. This will be the first request from the five county Albemarle Soil Conserva tion District. More groups are ex pected to file applications later as soon as the groups can get or j ganized. If your group has a project, start work now. I am available to help you. All that we know is, nothing can be known. —Byron. when I will bring you tips about the games of the week.
