Around Chowan County Farms Peanut Reminders: Due to cotton failure last spring, many peanut growers re planted cotton land to soy beans that will be follow ed by peanuts this year. Disease wise this is an un fortunate situation which we have to try to make the most of. The soybean plant resi due should be disked light ly and then turned under deep with a bottom plow and left there. Do not come back with middle busters and turn this lit ter back up to the surface unless you want to face the hazard of possible Southern Stem Rot and other diseases damaging your peanut crop. If the soil test shows that there is a need for additional potash for growing pea nuts, apply the potash broadcast before breaking the land so that it will be well down in the root zone area to be used by the plants when the roots reach it. A soil test is a most im portant guide in determin ing lime and fertilizer needs for peanuts as well as any other crop. It is getting late, but there is still time to take samples of soil. Send them in and get the report back in time for fertilization this season. When a soil test report shows a need for lime or extra potash, now is the time to get these materials broadcast on the land so that soil preparation will turn them in and mix them well with the soil. Pruning Shrubs: Is it possible that you have some evergreen shrubs in your home planting that have outgrown your desires like I have? If so, March is a good time to cut these shrubs back. You have enjoyed the green beauty of your shrubs all winter and by cutting them back now the new growth will soon start and fill in the vacant spaces. Do not shear off ever green shrubs like boxes but try to let them grow with their normal beauty. Shrubs like Ligrustrum, Chinese Holly, Osmanthus and others may be cut back, severely, even to two feet above the ground if deem ed necessary. They will put out new growth and soon you will have a nice green shrub growing again. In order to give shrubs a moderate cut back, go in and cut out large branches sufficiently to bring the plant back to the bounds desired. As shrubs are pruned, keep a close watch out for scale infestation. If you find scale on the plants, spray them thoroughly with Volk or Mylathion accord ing to directions on the container. Read the direc tions and follow the label. The Home Garden: If the home garden has not been started, there is ample time to get it under way. This is a most valuable area to a family and if properly managed, largely enables us to live at home and board at the same place. Cool weather crops should be planted or plants set now. ’lf nematode in jury has been observed in the garden, by all means fumigate the soil as recom mended. Nemagon and Fu mizon soil fumigates may be applied and the crop be seeded within two or three days. When DD, Telone or other such soil fumigates are used, crop should not be planted within two weeks,, :{T ,-application,, otherwise damage to the crop is likely to appear. Extension circular 122 BREATHE EASIER Portable air-filtering hel mets, worn over the heads , of men who .must work in highly contaminated areas, have been developed to re move dust, smoke, pollen 1 and vapors from the air and also cool it.

Moms Want Mudroom A mudroom is one of the most-wanted home addi tions, especially among homemakers with small chil dren, according to a survey reported by the Plumbing- Heating-Cooling Informa tion Bureau. Chief purpose of the mud room is to trap mud, snow and other dirt before it gets into the living area. It does so by changing the traffic pattern into the house. The well-equipped mud room should have a water closet, a sink with hot and cold water, a drinking foun tain, a place to hang clothes and a work counter where flowers can be arranged and vegetables fresh from the garden can be washed. This means that the mud room is not only a place to shed damp boots and clothes before entering another part of the house, it’s also ideal for children to use while playing or gardeners while working in the yard. Ideal place for a mudroom is just off the kitchen. Other good spots are the garage or the laundry room, if it has an outside entrance. In any of these locations, a mudroom adds up to convenience for the family. Countertops Are Do-It-Yourself Now on the market is a new do-it-yourself kitchen counter-topping which the homeowner can handle. It is pliable vinyl, which the manufacturer says is easy to cut, bend and adhere to old surfaces. The vinyl is much like vinyl tiles that handymen have been putting on floors for years, only it isn’t quite as thick, for ease of handling. Wearing surface is just as tough as the floor surface. The counter . toppings have sculptured, textured and smooth surfaces, color coordinated with vinyl floor patterns. !l| :j "'H.nM, <OO **.Ks§feL' ~, BEEFEATER GIN 5?! 2?° W m Ml tenth MOM ENGLAND BY KOBRAND.
