PAGE EIGHT SECTION TWO fcdS&AKOUND THE FARMS IfgJlN CHOWAN COUNTY I wiiSJjpw By C. W. OVERMAN. Chowan County Aganl Community Picnics: Commun- ity picnics in Chowan County tygan this week with Advance, Gum Pond, Oak Grove and Ryl and communities holding their’s. Qther communities will hold their’s during the month of Au gust. A community picnic offers the i people of the community an op- 1 portunity to lay aside the cares I and problems of the work day and join with friends in a pe riod of good fellowship. Those attended by Miss Calloway and I. this week appeared to be load ed with good fellowship and j everybody wearing a smile and 1 looking happy. The children oT tile various families had an ex-, cellent time playing together and ’ where picnics were held at the water, many of them went in swimming. There was an abund ance of the most delicious food) spread for all to enjoy. In spite of promises of one to not over eat and spread the middle any larger, it is certainly a tempta-' tion to overeat just a little. I| hope that when your community, has its picnic you will join in j with your neighbors and enjoy: this wonderful, summer occasion, together. Red Spiders in Cotton: In ev-! ery cotton field I have visited this week I have found the red spider infesting the field. In a few areas the spiders have done , considerable damage. Unless this pest is controlled immediately, it may do tremen dous damage to the cotton crop at this season of the year. pesticide manual recommends i% Trithion or 4% Ethion or Dgmeton applied as a dust at! the rate of 25 pounds per acre, j TSrithion and possibly another Os these may be obtained as a combined dust that will kill boll weevils and boll worms as well as spider mites at the same time. 1 The above materials may also ( obtained as a spray material for spraying if the grower had rather spray. In making the i application, >• is very important j to have the dust or the spray | reaching the underneath side of | the leaves because there is where most of the spider mites are located. Although cotton is at least two weeks or more late, it is fruit ing nicely in the top now. If j growers will only continue to dust or spray regularly, I believe a good crop of cotton will re sult this year. The Vegetable Garden: Al bert Banadyga, Extension Horti cultural Specialist, says the fol lowing about the vegetable gar den: “Just thinking about a pot full of freshly cooked turnip greens makes my mouth water. The flavor of most greens, just as with sweet corn, lettuce, and others is just a whole lot richer ■ when the greens come straight out of the garden and into the pot. To have turnip greens (as well as mustard, tendergreen, kale or collards) when the frost j is on the pumpkin means plant-' ing in August or early Septem- j ber. Best stands are usually in 1 those gardens where the soil was thoroughly prepared. Trashy or j cloddy soil usually results in poor stands and slower growth. To get that rich and succulent flavor the plants should grow rapidly and continuously. Slow j growth results in tougher or more fibrous greens and often some off-flavors (bitterness or musty). This slow growth in the fall is usually caused by either dry weather, poorly drained soils, not enough plant food, orj damage from insects, diseases or j weeds. It is a good idea to rotate the garden spot to prevent I A \ I 4;) I j % s - II ' t \ T - .•> r I build-up of pests. Planting on a slight ridge will help drain away water after heavy summer rains. Frequent light side dress ings of nitrogen—such as one pound of nitrate of soda per 100 feet of row—will insure a con tinuous supply of plant food. Frequent checks for insects will j help avoid later disappointment. Insects most likely to appear are the cabbage worm, aphids and the webworm. Use only those insecticides that are ap proved for use on that crop. Check the waiting period of the [ insecticides—don’t use one with ! a 21 day waiting period if you expect to harvest in seven days, i This is particularly important ' with fall greens since they grow I very fast. Irrigation, if available, I helps insure better stands of quality yields.” | The Strawberry Barrel: Mr. Banadyga says, “If you are limited for space in your gar- I den, but want fresh strawberries ! for the table without paying for I them, here is an idea you could , try. * j A standard size wooden barrel will allow for 40 to 50 plants, , if the plants are placed 7 to 8 I inches apart in 5 rows around ! the barrel. Drill holes about 2 inches across to accommodate the plants. Be sure to make 4 or 5 holes in the bottom to pro vide water drainage. You will need about 3 bushels of good garden soil, 1 bushel of well rotted manure, 1 section of 3-inch drain tile, and about l % bushel of coarse sand or gravel. I After you have all the holes ■ drilled, set the barrel in full sun !on three bricks. Place the drain , tile on end in the center of the barrel floor and fill the tile with coarse sand. Also fill around the bottom of the tile 1 about two inches with the sand. I Mix the soil and manure thor oughly and fill around the tile, , slightly dampening and water | ing as you fill until the soil I level reaches the top of the low ler barrel holes. Now set the | lower row of plants and continue to fill with the soil mixture and set plants until the top row is planted. Carefully lift the file % of its length as needed so the sand and soil have di | rect contact. After the plants are set water thoroughly. After the plants begin to grow, water as often as needed.” Farmers' Gasoline Tax Refund: l Based on past records, someone has estimated that Chowan 1 County farmers are losing ap proximately $59,000 a year by not filing application for refund i of state and federal tax on gaso- j line used on the farm in non- ’ ! highway use. This is an esti ! mate but probably it isn’t too | far from right. I am sure that the families of farmers who fail to apply for the gasoline tax re fund would be happy to have the money for family use. | I would like to urge every farmer in Chowan County to | make application for tax refund on his non-highway used gaso line on the farm. Reasonable | accounting must be made in ( preparing the application but it lis nothing to be afraid of if the report is made as accurately as possible. | We have both state and fed eral application forms available at our office. Farmers who do 1 not have application forms should come to our office and get them along with instruc tions. j Revival Meetings: The annual I season of revival meeting is get- I ting under way in our local churches and most of them will be held during August and Sep- We may well have the very idea for you) Want to explore the power of the right IDEA to punch-up a piece of printed matter, make it more persuasive and productive? Let our creative people work on your problem. Get their suggestions. You can get the benefit of our IDEAS without flpwlfri cost or obligation. Let's O&9CA get together and talk i about your needs. i Tim PiiAiiiAM Usavsdel ine UfOwan neraia i ' THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTOM, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY. AUGUST 15, 1963. tember. The word revival means : What it implies. We should take our families ] and worship together with our i neighbors to make these meet- : ings truly a revival for us, indi vidually and collectively, Family squabbles and divorces seldom develop in homes where the families regularly attend re ligious services together, where ; they read the Bible together and Where they pray together, for every family attending services together is bound closer together and closer to their neighbors for better living in the home and in the community. Be sure to attend your revival meeting i this summer and visit as many others as you can. Mrs. W. H.
