THE FARMS »faaiN CHOWAN COUNTY wfW By C. W. OVERMAN, CWwu Countv A B *nl H. C. Peanut Insect Control Program —1962; The peanut plant is attacked by a number ol insect pests, which feed on the foliage, the pegs, pods and kernels. In general, in North Carolina, thrips, leafhoppers and Southern corn rootwoims are the iriost serious of these pests. The development of resistance toy the Southern corn rootworm to aldrin in a portion of our peanut belt has necessitated changes 'in recommendations for insect control in 1962. R. L. Robertson, Extension Entomolo gits, makes the following rec ommendations for peanut insect control in 1962. Thrips and leafhoppers may . be controlled and southern corn rootworm damage reduced toy a single application of phorate (Thimet) applied at the time of planting. A row applicator should be used to apply 10% phorate granules in the seed furrow at the rate of 10 lbs per acre. Phorate is highly toxic and the caution label on the container should be followed. To control the rootworm (phor ate only reduces damage) apply diazinon just prior to pegging. Apply 10% granular diazinon at the rate of 20 lbs. per acre in a 16 to 20 inch band over the row and work it immediately in tp the top few inches of soil. Phorate (Thimet) at planting and diazinon just prior to pegging will control thrips, leafhoppers and rootworms. If phorate is not used at planting, make two applications of DDT, Sevin, or malathion for thrips control. Make the first application as soon as damage appears. Follow with a second application two weeks later. Al <frin applied at the first culti vation will also control thrips. Apply 40 lbs. of 5% granular per acre and work immediately, into soil. If phorate is not used at planting, leafhoppers may be! controlled with three applica-' tions of DDT, Sevin, or meth oxychlor. Apply at the rate of . 1 lb. active ingredient per acre W at 2 to 3 week intervals be ginning about July 10. Vines may be fed to dairy or slaughter animals if phorate, di azinon, Seven, Malathion or r methoxychlor are used accord ing to recommendations. Farm Management Reminders: Take soil samples and have test ed for next two years crops. Follow soil test report recom mendations, if there is any i question or you don’t understand 1 fwv^wwww'/wwvwwww/'^ww'.a * Delightful blend of the popular dwarf Pygmy type that blooms from early summer until frost.

KSQS3ZESS3ZZ9 ! it happened 100 YEARS ago Thfl oldest incorporated trade association in the country, the United States Brewers Association, was organized in 1362... the same year that | Bw IN NORTH CAROLINA the much-feared Union trended Monitor, limping southward after its sea-duel with the Confederate Marri mac.eank off Cape Hatteras. As news spread throughout the South, stains of foaming beer toasted the sbiking of this worthy fbe. Ftorthen, as now, beer was the tradfttonal bevsrage of moderation - light, sparkling refreshment that N- j oddk e toodt of Southern hospitality to any occa< L J elan. North Carolinians have always enjoyed the VUm good fattrtnhip that goes wßtrevoty glass. Wmm TODAY, so Hs centennial year, the United Stela* I Biewer* Association still works constantly to as- |||J sure maintenance of high standards of quality and JM propriety wherever bpK and ala are served. * ' - r 1 l V w /f the report then consult your county agent or 9Qtne other ag ricultural worker. Now is the time to plan for high yields of high quality crops. You, can’t compete with nema todes, diseases and insects. To control nematodes', pre-plant soil fumigation is most effective and least expensive. Effective soil fumigation consists of using the right fumigant, properly applied at the right time, for the crop to be grown. Ask for informa tion. Disease and insects are often coupled together in that some plant diseases are spread and enhanced by detrimental insects. The control is one of prevention rather than cure. Plan to fol low a dusting or spraying sched ule to prevent insect and di sease damage. After’ damage oc curs it is too late for best re sults. Farm Practice Sheets: Sheets listing recommended production practices on various crops and livestock are being prepared. Sheets are completed on Sweet Potatoes, Peanuts and Cotton. As you get these through the mail err from our office, read j each one carefully then file for I future reference. ! Most of the practices are needed on every farm but the j need will vary. Use the ones needed on your farm. By keep ing the practice sheets on file for reference they may be used as a check to determine any trouble which occurs and why. Remember, Farming Is A Business, Not Just A Way Os Life! If you were going on a long trip you would use a road map to plot your course, you wouldn’t depend on just going in a certain direction. Make good j production practices your road I map to successful production in j 1962. i Farmers Asked To | Release Cotton Continued from Page 1, Section 1 ! tect theii; future farm allotments: The farmer must (1) plant at least 75 per cent of the 1962 al lotment, or (2) release the acre age he does not need and plant at least 75 percent of the re mainder, and (3) actually plant some cotton in 1962 if the en tire allotment was released in both 1960 and 1961. Farmers who do not intend to plant all of their cotton allotment in 1962 are urged to get in touch with the ASCS County Office and discuss how to protect their fu ture cotton acreage history.
