The Reynolds Scholarships to UNC-G were established in No vember 1962 by the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation in memory cf Mrs. Katharine Smith Reyn- c 1 Is, a WC alumna, wife of the i :jnder of the Reynolds Tobacco Company, and mother of R. J. Reynolds. Each Reynolds scholarship h lder is provided with complete f: ancial support. Among the finalists is Miss Jean Goodwin of Edenton daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. P Goodwin. Employee Class Now Filled Up i West Byrum, president of the 1 Edenton Chamber of Commerce, reports that the Chamber-spon sored employee improvement program now has 60 persons registered for the course and that no more will he able to en roll. The latest to enroll for course were Robert Turner a->d Gus Francis from the George Chevrolet Company. The course now represents employees frrrrrt 16 local business firms, with classes held in the Hotel Joseph Hewes ballroom. The initial class in the pro gram consists of 10 hours in struction in customer relations, which is taught by Protestor Claude Davis of the College of the Albemarle. Other subjects to be taught under the program include 20 hours in oral com munication, 10 hours in person ality development and 20 ho rs in professional selling and creat ive salesmanship.

Continued from Page 1, Section 1 pasture land and to install ade i quate drainage outlets sufficient j ly close to individual farms, j Soil Conservation Service per | sonnel assisted the sponsors in 1 1 developing a watershed plan to solve the problems. A contract i was let last August to make the | needed improvements. Tht j works of improvement in the | contract include 191 acres of clearing, 21.5 miles of main and 1 j lateral ditch construction, 21 ■! culverts for farm road crossings hand 133 surface inlets. This 1 | work is scheduled to be com -1! pleted by July of this year. SCS personnel are assisting in supervising the installation of work. The total cost of the project is estimated at $403,000. Around $157,000 is being paid by Public Law 566 funds and $246,000 from other funds. The benefits of the project are ex pected to return annually $3.10 for each dollar spent on con structing and maintaining the works of improvement. When the system of new channels covering the watershed are completed, then the land owners of the 105 farms in the watershed can turn their at entio.n to improving the drain ge systems on their individual "arms and developing the po ; ential of their soil. This in j urn will give them and their i ommunity a better way of life, j naking Chowan a better place j in whi, h to live. | The defect of equality is that | I we only desire it with our su t periois. —Henry Becque. THE FARMS ggllN CHOWAN COUNTY p* C W. OVERMAN. Chowan Cavxuv Agent Am I Making Progress? Every farmer needs to ask himself this question. Each of us is not standing still; we are either fall ing behind or we are moving ahead .by using improved prac tices- in our crops and livestock. Based on my observance I am satisfied most farmers in Cho wan County are making pro gress in the application of bet ter production practices. Let’s make 1964 the greatest year of progress yet by all farmers em ploying needed improved prac tices on all crops and livestock on their farms. Soil Testing: Since January 1 there has been a considerable increase in soil testing over pre vious years in Chowan County. This statement is based on the number of copies of soil test re ports that have been receiyed in our office. During 1963 some 820 soil samples were taken on 150 farms in Chowan County. Seventy-seven percent or 630 of these fields needed lime. Sixty percent or 480 of these fields were low or very low in potash and needed additional potash for i hrener plant production. As suming that maybe another 50 o 100 farms had soil tested ip 1962 or 1961 so that soil tests ii'prt- not needed in 1963 this would only amount to a total of 20J to 250 rarms testing soil in Chowan County during the last three years. Chowan County has approxi mately 660 farms. If 200 to 250 had soil tested during the last two or three years what about the other 410 to 460 farms that made no use of the soil testing facilities for determining lime nd fertilizer needs on then fields. The chances are that the yields on these farms not test ing soil are those making lower yields and holding down our iverage yields for the county as well as failing to make the in come that is possible. We still need to make considerable pro gress in the number of farms testing soil and a great increase in the number of farms having soil tested on every field, at least once every three years. Soil samples sent in now will give reports in time to be of ;ome help this year, certainly if ime is needed. Combination Nitrogen - Herbi cide On Corn: Several farmers used a combination of liquid htrogen and a herbicide on : n 1903 and were very success ful. Generally the herbicide litrogen combination consisted of i hundred pounds of actual ni- Irogen with which was mixed two pounds of Atrazin. This was applied broadcast just as the corn was pegging and showing WEEK-END SPECIALS Grade “A” whole only FRYERS lb. 24c Swift’s Sweet Rasher BACON ib. 39c FRESH GROUND Hamburger 3 I SI.OO NO. 303 RED & WHITE Apple Same.... 2 fans 29c | BERTIE I Herring Roe, 8-oz. can 15c | 4S-CZ.

Troy Toppin of Cross Roads Community, Frank V. White of Cross Roads Community, Thomas E. Ward on his Yeopim farm I and perhaps others, as well as' some other growers were very pleased with the results. The corn was not cultivated and Troy Toppin tells me that his corn yield was up close to 100 bush els per acre and so the others. This practice wilt worx nice ly on medium to heavier soils. On sandy soils the nitrogen ap plication should be split with the second application being made when the corn is about 24 inches high using drop noz zles so -that the nitrogen is sprayed on the ground and not on the corn. The herbicide should be put out with the first application. This is another practice that is going to grow in use in Chowan County mak ing for more economical pro duction. Cotton Weed Control: Last year we sprayed Treflan on the land running a rolling cultiva tor immediately behind the sprayer to incorporate the herbi cide in the upper two to three inches of soil for cotton weed control in an acre on the Turkey Neck Farm with B. W. Evans and Edward Goodwin. The cot ton was planted the same da;, and although we did not get < good stand of cotton the stand was just as good as in the area where the herbicide was no' used. The herbicide treated area was not cultivated for four weeks while the untreated field was cultivated three or four times. Hill to hill chopping was necessary in the untreated arer while on the treated area it was only necessary to walk over the field cutting out an occasional weed. People who observed this demonstration area seemed to be very much impressed with the effectiveness of the chemical It is a chemical that will work in dry soil as well as moist soil and cultivating shallow does not bother it. Treflan should be applied at | the rate of 1 to l'j pints per ! acre on light soils, 1 to 2 pints per acre on medium soils J and 2 to 3 pints per acre on very heavy soils. Normally we thin!: of aoplying 1 quart per acre on all except real light sandy soils. The material should be sprayed on using about 10 i to 15 gallons of water per acre j and cultivate in shallow iromedi -1 ately behind it. Sun tends to 1 deteriorate the chemical very quickly. Therefore, immediate soil incorporation is necessary tc be effective. It can be put out as much as two to three weeks prior to planting so long as the surface of the soil is not dis turbed more than about two inches. j Diuron (Karmex DL) may be ' used at the rate of IMi to 3 pints ,per acre broadcast immediately' I after cotton planting and gives: good weed control. It should be mixed with water at the .same rate. Cholora IPC applied! I at the rate of 6 to 9 quarts perj acre is another good herbicide for cotton. This also must be applied after planting and be fore cotton emerges. These chemicals may also be applied as band treatments. In the case of a 14 inch band use about one-third the amount of, the above broadcast rate. A 20! inch band should be used at, about one-half the broadcast rate., The cost of the chemical per acre for broadcast application j using Treflan will run about $9.00, Diuron about $5.50, and Choloro IPC about $15.00. The cost of band Ireatments will be in proportion to the amount of material used. Using herbicides for weed con trol in cotton can be a profit able practice and an efficient one to use in 1964. When Tref lan is used cotton can be plant ed over if a poor stand necessi tates without injury to the seed and if the surface of the soil is ■ net disturbed more than two to 1 three inches the chemical will still be effective for weed and grass control.
