Gross Farm Income Progress:
In the “1.6 In ’63” Extension
Program the increase tn gross
farm income has made slightly
below scheduled progress the
first two years in the ten coun
ty Albemarle Area. In 1961
goals set for increase in income
was 16.8 million dollars by 1960.
During 1962 and 1963, the first
two years, the gross farm in
come in the area has risen 5.9
million dollars. During the two
year period nine of the ten
counties have had an increase in
annual gross farm income.
In \ Chowan County our 5-year
farm increase goal was 1 V-r mil
lion dollars. Our 1963 » gross
'■ farm income had increased $Bl2 -
590, placing Chowan County well
ahead of schedule in the 5-year
k period. We congratulate our
ft Chowan County people on this
" progress. Now, the only way we
can hold the progress we’ve
made and still improve is t;
apply more of the recommended
practices needed on our farms'
and pray for favorable weather
conditions. We still have a lot
of farms in Chowan Countv
« whose yields are below average
for t\ic county. It is on these
farms mainly the needed im
proved practices must be em
ployed to continue our progress
There can also be some adjust
ments in crops and livestock en
terprises which will aid increas
ed income. Let’s keep the ball
of progress rolling in 1954.
Corn Varieties: In 1963 we
conducted one corn variety trial
demonstration. There was con
siderable variation in the per
formance of the various varie
/ 'ties as to yield, quality of grain*
\ and strength of stalk. The av-|
erage yield per acre was 87
a, bushels.
The following varieties had
good characteristics and were
above average in yield: Earlv
maturing DeKalb 805 yielded 92
bushels per acre. In medium
season maturity Funks G-144
yielded 91 bushels, Coker 15
yielded 99 bushels, Watson 401
yielded 93 bushels, Watson 401A
yielded 95 bushels, Pioneer 3098
yielded 116 bushels, Pioneer 3037
yielded }OB bushels, VPI 648
yielded* - !)? bushels, Missouri 916
yielded 92 bushels, and Speight
D-8 yielded 89 bushels. Full sea
son maturing varieties Speight
D-14 yielded 94 bushels, McNair
304 yielded 95 bushels, Pioneer
310 yielded 117 bushels, Pioneer
3048 yielded 89 bushels, Pioneer
X-8218 yielded 111 bushels,
M&W 120 yielded 117 bushels
and M&W 130 yielded 90 bushels.
rThe varieties that were used jn j
1963 and were also used in'1962 1
performed both I
years. All of these are yellow
x. varieties and we consider them
" 1 good ones to choose from fay.,
1964 planting.
Peanuts and Cotton: Again I
want to remind peanut growers)
to use recommended nema'tocidesj
for controlling nematodes in!
their peanuts in 1964. D-D ma-j
teriafs and Telone must be up-!
plied at least two weeks - prior
to planting. Zinophos granules!
NOTICE TO
TAXPAYERS

By order of the Town Council, on •
Monday, May 11, I will advertise for

. 1963 taxes and assessments have not
been paid, the date of sale being Mon
day, June 8,1964.
Please pay your taxes before May 11,
and thus avoid having your property
advertised for sale.

i planting time in the very upper

For controlling nematodes in
i cotton we can use D-D materials
or Telone, observing the two
week waiting period. We can
‘ still use nemagon and fumazone
at planting or prior to planting
for cotton. I don v t have any
information on using Zinophos
for sting nemrtode control in
cotton but suggest that any
growers who wish to try it do
so on a limited basis; I don’t see]
any reason why it should not
work.
Junior Livestock Show and
Sale: The Chowan County Jun
ior Livestock Show and Sale is
being held on Wednesday of this
week. It will be over by the
time you receive this paper but
we will give you a story on it
1 next week.
Agricultural Extension Agent
Marry Venters and Vocational
Agricultural Teacher Everett
White inform me that their
youth have done a nice job
feeding out their steers and hogs,
1 feel sure we will have a very
commendable exhibition. We
are very regretful that the mar
ket price of steers is low at this
time and -no doubt will reflect
on the chances of profit by our
youth feeders. We can’t- afford
to be discouraged gnd quit when
the price pendulum hits the bot
tom because next year it could
, swing reasonably well up.

to get technical training to re
ceive such training. There are
I 20 such institutions in the State
1 of North Carolina. The cost to
' individuals is S2O per quarter,
i but no one is turned away be
i cause of insufficient finances,
i This problem is solved by some
i times helping the individual to
find part time work or through
. some, other method.
1 During the past nine months,
40,000' persons have taken ad
-1 vantage of .industrial education
1 and technical training. Mr. Val
; entine brought out the fact that
jobs are available for skilled
: workers, but the skilled workers
are not available. Motivation is
an important factor, and wavs
of motivating youth and adults
' to take advantage of industrial
■ education centers must be found.
Training is available five days
a week from 7 A. M., until 10:30
iP. M., thereby making it possi
j bie for one to receive training
1 day or night at the individual’s
convenience. It is hoped that
more individuals will become
