Examine Camelias and Other
ihruU for insects. I have found
camelias at one place heavily
infested with spider mites. Gar
denias become infested with
white fly.
i! Malathion is one rtf the good
nsecticides to use and will con
trol most all insects. Follow the
directions on the container. It
is well to mix the insecticide
With soapy water, the soap
serves as a spreader and sticker.
Spray under side of leaves also.
Starr or Pearl Millit is a good,
quick-growing grazing crop for
the summer. Fertilize the soil
with 300 to 500 pounds of 8-8-8
or 10-10-10 fertilizer. The seed- (
ing rate per acre is eight pounds
jfi rows or 20 to 25 pounds
broadcast.
ma This crop may be planted any j
**me from April 15 to July 1.
Start grazing when the crop is
8 to 12 inches high . If grazing
is rotated and not grazed too
closely, it will sprout up and
continue to make grazing. Side
sdressing with nitrogen just as-
each grazing will stimulate
growth.
A Fifty Bushel Per Acre Soy
‘h«an Club has been inaugurated.
To qualify for this, a grower
must have two or more acres,
t land must be officially
measured and harvested under
the supervision of a committee, j
' your County Agent and j
he will arrange for a commit-j
tee.
The Copperskin Gold Rush
Sweet Potato is one Cl the high
est yielding of the sweet ootalo
'varieties. They grow with a
good market shape and color.
The eating quality is good.
' Several Chowan County grow
ers are trying this variety this
year. Joe Chappell of Gliden
area and Clarence Chappell of
Belvidere have certified seed for
sale.
The Chowan County 4-H De

Tobacco Growor* Should Chock
Plant Bods regularly. Anthrac
nose and damping-off diseases
have been found in some beds
in the southern part of the state.
Blue Mold has not been found
yet but is expected.
With late plant it
is important that diseases and
insects be controlled in the plant
beds. Tobacco Specialist R. R.
Bennett recommends that grow
ers start spraying beds at once.
Continue spraying beds every 3
to 4 days until plants are set
in the field.

arranged for this equipment to

blade is used to destroy undesir
able growth preparatory to re
seeding or planting. In this
