Chowan Peanut Yields Are
Looking Good: Based on infor
mation I have gathered about
the county, peanut yields are
generally looking good. I have
heard of many crops averaging
over 3,000 pounds of cured pea
nuts per acre. I have heard of
one crop averaging over 4,100
pounds per acre.
Harvesting of our all-practice
work has been completed on
three demonstrations. The aver
age yield per acre on these
three has been 1,940 pounds, 1,-
851 pounds and 3,055 pounds.
Yields of the respective check
plots (farmer’s practices) has
been 1,640 pounds, 1,331 pounds
and 2,500 pounds respectively.
The three all-practice plots aver
aged 2,282 pounds per acre while
the check plots averaged 1,824
pounds per acre. This results

lin an average of 458 pounds per
acre in favor of the all-practice
method.
Yes, there was some addition
al expense involved in the all
practice way but not as much as
one may think. The additional
expense per acre on these three
demonstrations averaged roughly
$15.00. With 458 pounds of pea
nuts at twelve cents per pound
the additional return was about
$55.00. Subtract the additional
$15.00 expense and the net is
$40.00 per acre. To me “That
Ain’t Losing Money”.
You ask why demonstration
yields are not. above 3,000
pounds? We purposely selected
farms with lower yields for sev
eral years to see if all-practice
application would boost the
yields. We still have three more
to check on. We will publish a
complete report when the work
is finished.

SCHOOL AND YOUR CHILD
By John Corey. Appalachian State Teacher* College
The Tattle-Tale
Sister (age 7): Mommy, he'
called me a bad name because j
I didn’t give him my ball.
Brother (9): Shut up! Why I
don't you tell on yourself? Does
Mama know you play with her
lipstick?
Father (thundering): Can’t you
make these children behave!
What makes ’em tattle-tale so
much?
Practically every parent has
engaged in this classic family
scene. And what mother and
father haven’t asked the same
question?
In dealing with this common
but repugnant behavior among
youngsters, parents should try to
understand the causes for tatt
ling, says Nollie W. Shelton,
Appalachian State Teachers Col
lege associate professor of edu
cation.
There’re some good reasons,
explains the former superintend
ent and father of two.
The first thing to do is define
the difference between “tattling”
and responsible reporting. If
his is not understood, rigid rules
on the matter will backfire.
One mother was aghast to look
out the kitchen window one .day
and see her 7-year-old son, in
war paint and feathers, about to
scalp his little pig-tailed sister
with a sharp butcher knite.
“Why didn’t you call me?”
the mother asked her daughter.
“You told me never to be a
squealer, Mom,” she replied.
The incident reveals the neces
sity of teaching children to tell
on others if the reason is sig
nificant.
Author Pearl Buck adds:
“Tattling ought to be encour
aged. Rules and laws are made
to be obeyed ... If parents do
not know that a child has brok
en a rule in the home or a law,
his sisters or brothers should be
expected to tell on him as they
do in China.”
Most Americans, however,
don’t consider tattling the same
as trustworthy reporting. Tatt-

non-essential information for
personal motives.
Such practice isn’t good, either
for personality development of
the tattler or the disposition of
those who hear him.

vent tattling altogether. By
teachers, it’s considered second
only to whispering as a behavior
problem. A Cleveland, Ohio,
elementary school study reveal
ed that 42 per cent of pupils
tattle. Researchers find little
difference between the “squeal
ing quotient” of boys and girls.
Even the best adjusted and
least vindictive person occasion
ally succumbs to the human fal
lacy of inconsequential “stool
pigeoning”. Realizing this, of
course, is one way of dealing
with the annoying problem. Wise
parents and teachers who cut
down their expectations to meet
reality worry less about such
bickering.
Even the kiddies often drop
attention-getting tricks of run
ning to parents with constant
tales and complains against oth
ers when they realize that they
are to solve their own problems
to an extent.
Understanding behavior habits
of particular ages also helps.
Small children are most in
clined to tattle. They value
adult approval more than older
children. Half-pints pull few
punches in telling on playmates
if it brings grown-up approval.
Increased age, though, usually
tempers the practice.
Group approval becomes more
and more important as boys and
girls grow up. The gang can be
depended on to curb the tattler
by outcasting him if he “stools”
too much. This partially ac
counts for adolescents often be-

ing tight-lipped about wrongs
which should be reported.
But the child who continues
excessive tattling to gain adult
approval as he grows up shows
by this action that he isn i de
veloping a normal relationship
with his own age crowd. The
social maladjustment, among oth
er things, may cause lack of
independence needed for self-di
rection in later life.
Probably the best way to dis
courage tattling as an attentiori
getter is to ignore it. Certainly

refrain from becoming involved.
And if you have to listen, treat
as lightly as possible whatever
is being told.
But don’t ignore without help
ing the tattler. Try to ascertain
what causes him to inform.
Then correct the difficulty.
If tattling stems from jealousy
or desire for revenge (common
causes), discontinue the constant
praise of another child which
may account for it And don’t
persistently point out shortcom
ings and defects in the jealousy
inclined child.
