{ Lime Field! To Be Fall Seeded:
■Establishing a desirable lime
flevel or pH range in the soil
anay mean the difference be
tween a good and poor crop.
(The lime level is especially im
jportant where legumes are to
jbe planted. These crops grow
ibest on well limed soils because
■iof their high calcium and mag
nesium requirement and the ef
fects lime has on nitrogen fixa
tion. Lime also improves the
Efficiency with which many of
the plant foods in fertilizer is
utilized. Experiments conducted
in North Carolina over a four
year period in which Ladino
clover only produced 2,607
pounds per acre on a very acid
soil. When the soil was limed
the yield was 6,103 pounds. The
yield on this soil was more than
doubled but an increase this
large could not be expected on
all soils. The expected yield in
crease would be reduced as the
degree of acidity is lowered.
Since many forage and hay
crops remain in the same field
for several years it is important
that enough lime be applied be
fore seeding, to bring the pH
into the desired range as well as
maintain it for from two to four
years. During land preparation
prior to seeding is the only op
portunity to mix lime into the
soil. Results of research studies
show that a given lime level
can be maintained by topdress
ing provided sufficient quantities
are mixed into the soil to es
tablish the desired level.
Soils do not need to be limed
every year, but it is important
to have fields which are to be
put in perennial crops tested
before seeding. Samples are
tested free by the North Caro
lina Department of Agriculture.
Results can be obtained within a
week or ten days after samples
are sent to the laboratory.
Be sure to use lime where it
is needed and we invite those
who want their soils tested to
visit this office, obtain sampling
boxes, and discuss the procedure
for collecting samples.
Fruits: This is grape month
for many Tar Heel folks. The

followed by the Muscadines—va
rieties such as Scuppernong,
James, Topsail, Thomas, Hunt
that lead the list.
At harvest time most grow
ers are most conscious of prob
lems. The most common prob
lem with the bunch grape is
black , rot, identified by rotten
fruit and fruit dried up like rais
ins. This is a sure sign that
your pruning and spraying pro
gram is not thorough enough—
better check these with your
county agricultural agent.
A chief problem with the Mus
cadines is not fruit. Some vines
that at one time had fruit no
longer produce. The problem is
no pollination. They need a
•‘papa”. You can remedy this
by planting a variety such as
Wallace (white), Burgaw (black)*
or Hearing (white). These va
rieties will produce some fruit
and will also produce pollen at
bloom time to pollinate the oth
er varieties. Refer to Exten
sion Folder 156 and Extension
Folder 157 for further informa
tion.
'Beautiful Peaches Grown in
Chowan: Last week I visited
Henderson M. Nixon out in the
Rookv Hock Community observ
ing his young peach orchard.
Mr. Nixon had some of the pret
tiest and largest Elbertas and
Hales I have ever seen. They
were just as good as they look
ed. The earlier varieties had
ripened and gone but Mr. Nixon
told me they were very nice
also.
Mr. Nixon set most of his trees
about four years ago. He cut
his young trees back as was rec
ommended and has pruned the
trees each year according to rec
ommendations. The recommend
ed fertilization program has been
followed. A good spray schedule
to control insects and disease is
followed eaqh year and the trees
and fruit really show the results
of good management.
. I want to congratulate Mr.
Nixon on the good job he is
doing with his orchard. He tells
me that he has been able to sell
all or practically all of his peach
es right at the farm and could
have sold several times as many.
His crop this year was as heavy
as the young trees could stand.
This could be an additional cash
enterprise on some other farms
in Chowan County, hut to be

successful a good job of manage
ment must be done, leaving out
nothing that is needed.
Vegetables: August is "Over
haul the Garden Month.’’ 'Most
gardeners tend to let up on their
gardening about now and regret
it later. This should be ‘‘clean
up and start anew’’ month. Clean
up and sidedress those crops still
bearing and with a potential
(like okra, tomatoes, peppers,
etc.). Plow under those crops
that will not bear any more (such
as early beans, corn, lettuce, etc.)
as well as grass and weeds.
It’s time to start your fall gar
den. Plant seeds and plant good
stand. Make succession plantings
of greens, radish and beans. Fall
snap beans are usually destroy
ed by the Mexican bean beetle.
The entomologists say that the
new insecticide called Sevin does
an excellent job of controlling
this beetle. If you can’t find
Sevin, then use Malathion —it
does a good job, too.

sage of deliverance from aH these
forms of bondage would surely
be good tidings.
Secondly, the prophet’s mes
sage was "a promise of peace.
How much people everywhere
desire peace! The enthusiastic
reception given anything that
promises peace of mind is evi
dence of a deep sense of need
for peace on the level of indi
vidual experience. How wel
come, then, would be the pro
phet's promise of peace!
Thirdly, the prophet’s message
included the declaration to Je
rusalem that ‘‘her iniquity is
pardoned.” This indeed was
basic to the other points in the
message. Only a pardoned peo
ple could be delivered and re
stored to* their own land and
live in peace. This in turn im
plied repentance.
One may well ask if there do
not exist today some prerequi
sites for receiving good tidings

In preceding lessons we have
discussed sin,. individual and na
tional, as the cause of the down
fall of a people. Is it not true
that our personal and national
disobediences of God is the
cause of the various "captivities”
in which we find ourselves? If
so, then good tidings for us, too,
must be the declaration that our
iniquity is pardoned,
i For. us,-also, pardon can only
cofne through repentance,
through turning away from our
disobedience, whether individual,
social, or national. It would
seem that we have a great need

Our Christian faith is a mes
sage of good news, the good news
for which the world waits. The
