•• . '
With an adequate: amount of j
annual precipitation here in'
eastern North Carolina, the 1
question- often arises for thej
production of fieid crops—is all;
of: the. water used to its fullest I
in crop production? To get!
more of the., rainfall into crop
production instead of losing it
by runoff or penetration to the
water-table, consideration should 1
be given- to the storage capacity
of a soil. Sandy soils will h:-Jd
about one inch, of water which
-is available for plants per foot
depth. Very fine sandy loams
and silt loam may held two
inches and the clay soils up .o
three inches per foot of depth.
Unfortunately, on many of the
soils in. eafstern North Carolina,
crop roots do not penetrate
more than eight to twelve inch
es. Experiments have shown
that the ihherent rooting char
acteristics of most of our im
portant crops, such as tobacco,
cotton and corn, are such that'
roots will extend at least three j
to five feet if soil conditions
permit.
Soil infertility is also recog
nized as a major deterrent to
the penetration and spread of
plant roots into horizons (lay
ers) below the plow layer on
many of our Coastal Plain Soils

-j in eastern North Carolina. Sur-
I veys show that Iqw phosphorus
j and calcium levels are deficien
- 1: cies most often encountered,
j This is because these elements
, : do not move downward in the
, I soil, but tend to remain (fixed)
,1 in the surface layers where
they have been applied by the
farmer. Potassium and nitrogen
move 1 with water in the soil and
i consequently, some leaching in
to the subsoil layers occurs.
Recent experiments conduct- !
ed by Dr. J. W. Fritts, Soil Sci
entist at State College and his ■
associates, using a large disc
plow plowing 26 inches in
depth has been successful at the
Clayton Research Station to in
corporate the necessary lime and
phosphate on a Norfolk sandy
loam soil. Because the plow
layer, which exists in many of
. our local soils at approximately
8-10 inches was broken in this
experiment, greater root pene
, tration increased the moisture ,
: j available to tobacco, cotton and
1 j com in the test. Also, better
; drainage of the soil was obtain- j
ed during prolonged rainy pe-1
riods.
i Ed Karnokski, soil scientist,
: reports that he encounters many
■ of these plow layers during his
i examinations of the soil pro

j Chowan County is host to Ram [
Swaroop Bishnoi -of India. Mr. !
Bishnoi is an IFYE delegate to!
the United States and has been i
here since May. He came to j
Chc-wa* County September 20 '
and has been living with Harry i

county today (Thursday).
The International Farm Youth
Exchange is a two-way road to
understanding:. Through IFYE
rural young people work toward 1
two objectives which guns and i
1 bombs have failed to achieve—a j
better understanding among peo- j
pie of the world and a whole
some, lasting peace. ■;
IFYE is a project through i
which selected farm youth are |
exchanged between the United |
States and cooperating countries I
for a period of four to six j
months to observe and experi
ence family and community life. I
Ram Bishnoi, by profession, is !
a lawyer and has practiced law |
for four years in India. He is a I
adult ’leader working'
as a district organizer for the I
Young Rarmers’ Association in
j India. The Young Farmers and
! Homemakers Associations were
j organized in 1956 in India and.
are comparable to our 4-H clubs.,
When askad how he found time
to work with these youth groups
on a district basis with his law
practice, Mr. Bishnoi replied, 1
“When a person is particularly
interested ar-d smart he finds*
time to do the work, but if a
man is lazy he does not do
work.”
j Ram is interested primarily
jin learning about cur youth
I groups and how they are or- ;
! ganized, and in the mechanized I
j methods of harvesting crops. j
i Mr. Bishnoi has spoken to ,
1 several groups in Chowan, in
cluding the Rotary Club, Com
munity Development group and ■
several 4-H Clubs.
