How NICKELS Ar* Helping
Peanuts: Peanuts are big busi
ness in North Carolina, contribut
ing over $39 million annually to
the, agricultural economy of the
state.
Research, much of it farmer
supported through the Nickels
for Know-How program, has
helped provide the peanut grow
ers with the knowledge and ma
terials he needs to produce top
yields of top quality. For ex
ample, the variety of peanuts
planted by an overwhelming ma
jority of Tar Heel growers was
developed by the Agricultural
Experiment Station at North
Carolina State.
This and many other advances
in all phases of agriculture are
accomplished through research
and through education, both of
which are uniquely farmer sup
ported in North Carolina.
Feed and fertilizer users con
tribute a nickel per ton for the
feed and fertilizer they purchase.
Most of this money goes to North
Carolina State to support such
studies as the one that resulted
in means of controlling seven
different insects that are harm
ful to peanuts.
Farmers, using the knowledge
made available to them through
the study, were able to control
the insects and subsequently in
crease peanut yields by 400 to
500 pounds per acre and boost
hay yields by 500 pounds per
acre.
Last year over 30 new mem
bers were added to the Two-
Ton (yield per acre) Peanut Club.
One grower set a national record
with a yield of over 5,000 pounds
per acre.
These peanut growers and
North Carolina agriculture in
general benefit from the work
made possible by Nickels for
Know-How. Tar Heel farmers
vote in a referendum November
19, that will determine if the
Nickels program will be con
tinued for another three years.
Nematode Control in Peanuts
Paid Off: Kelly Hare of Cross
Roads community, states his be
lief that post-treatment of soil
fumigant to control nematodes in
one of his peanut fields resulted
in a 3500 pound per acre yield.
Judging by the stunting of pea
nuts caused by nematodes in
early June, he believes his yield
would have been less than 2,000
pounds per acre if he had not
applied the fumigant.
In June Mr. Hare recognized

something wrong with a field of
his peanuts. In one area the
plants were not making normal
growth and appeared stunted.
His County Agent diagnosed the
trouble as sting nematode attack
ing the roots of the plants. A
side-placement application of
nemagon fumigant was recom
mended.
On June 25, assisted by the
agent, Mr. Hare mounted the
equipment on his tractor. The
fumigant was applied at the rate
of one gallon of actual nemagon
per acre. Application was made
to both sides of the row, ap
proximately 3 to 4 inches from
the plants and 5 to 6 inches deep.
Mr. Hare reports that in about
six weeks the field seemed to be
almost entirely recovered and
appeared to have normal growth.
He is very pleased with his ap
proximate yield of 3500 pounds
per acre and gives the credit to
the fumigant controlling the
nematodes so that normal growth
might be obtained. Mr. Hare
states that he plans to row treat
his entire crop next year just
prior to planting.
Home Ground Beautification:
From now until next spring lots
of people will set shrubs and
trees around the homestead.
Good planning to get the desired
results is very important. Here
are some bulletins available atj
your County Extension office to!
help you.
‘‘Planning Your Homestead,”
Extension Circular No. 346, gives
suggestions on locating a new
home site, location and setting
for the dwelling, and planning
for convenience and appearance.
It suggests ideas for walks and
drives and parking areas.
“Arrangement of Trees and
Shrubs,” Extension Circular No.
392, answers the question of
“Why use plants and where
should they be placed?” It cov
ers ideas for screening off unat
tractive views and for providing
enclosure, privacy and back
ground. There are suggestions
on foundation planting, kinds of
plants to use, where to locate
flowers and how to select plants.
It also contains lists of plants
and shrubs divided into groups:
Evergreen shrubs 1-3 feet, 4-6
feet and over 7 feet in height,
Deciduous shrubs of similar
height growths, Evergreen vines
and deciduous vines, Evergreen
ground covers, Evergreen and
deciduous trees, and shade trees.

Many people aren’t as careful
as they might be about eating
sufficient protein each day.
A study, made by food scien
tists at several Midwest agricul
tural experiment stations, shows
that after 40 years of age the
average woman consumes less
than the “daily needed amount”
of protein.
Women between 40 and 59
years had diets 9 percent below
par in protein; women 60 to 69,
18 percent; and those 70 to 79
years old, about 12 percent short.
Although protein needs must
be assessed along with other nu
tritional requirements, it might
be well if older women took
another look at their daily pro
tein in-take.
Foods important for protein in
clude milk, cheese, eggs, meats,
poultry and fish. Others that
can be counted on to give good
amounts are dry beans, peas,
lentils, and nuts. Although cer
eals provide smaller quantities
of protein in a usual serving,
their contributions can help out
in meeting daily protein needs.
Even though body growth is
completed, older people • still
need protein for repair and up
keep of body tissues, say nutri
tionists in the U. S. Department
of Agriculture.

Washington As Congress
moves into the tenth month of
the session, tax and civil rights
proposals command priority at
tention, but day to day legisla
tive work still consists in large
measure of activities involving a
multitude of other important
bills. These activities center on
appropriation bills and a num
ber of other House-passed meas
ures now coming up for Senate
consideration. Last week one of
these bills was the House-passed
omnibus crime bill undergoing
hearings before the Senate Dis
trict of Columbia Committee. I
testified before this Committee
to urge passage of legislation to
amend court rulings known as
the Mallory and Durham Rules.
The Mallory ruling held in
admissible the voluntary state
ment of a convicted and self
confessed rapist because of the
seven hour delay in taking him
before a committing magistrate.
In the Mallory ruling, time
alone was the deciding factor.
There was no showing that any
duress was used in extracting
the confession from the prison
er. I contend that it is unsound
to apply time alone as a meas
ure of admissibility into evi
dence of a confession.
The Durham Rule is the exist
ing test for determining respon
sibility for criminal conduct in
the District of Columbia. This
rule, I think, is inadequate, be
cause it establishes no clear
standards whereby a jury may
ascertain the defendant’s respon
sibility for crime.
The significance of the pro
posed amendments to court pro
cedures in the District of Co
lumbia is that crime has become
an almost individual concern in
the National Capital. The Met- 1
ropolitan Police force labors val
iantly to combat rising crime
rates here, but as long as the
Mallory Rule places an unrealis-

that Congress will take cogniz

Higher Education Bill—Senate
passage of the Higher Education
will authorizing $1.9 billion in
construction funds over a five
year period to public, private,
and church-operated colleges and
universities sends the measure
to a Senate-House conference
which will determine whether
the bill can be acceptable to
Congress. I voted against the
bill, because it gives religious
denominations access to the pub
lic purse in a wholesale fashion
in violation of the First Amend
ment.
On the other hand, I trust that
the conferees will keep my
amendment that makes it certain
that any taxpayer qgn find out
through a judicial determination
whether Congress is exceeding
its powers under the Constitu
tion.
More and more, Congress is
confronted by educational re
quests for Federal assistance.
There is a need for a definitive
answer to questions involving
church and state which crop up
with the consideration of almost
every educational bill. Prior to
Senate acceptance of my amend
ment there was no foreseeable
method by which the issue could
be presented to the courts. Since

Congress is apparently unwilling
to adhere to an outright ban of
aid to church schools and col
leges, the next best method is
to allow any taxpayer to have
the courts determine the validi
ty of such appropriations.
