In fertilizing cantaloupes,
’ watermelons and cucumb
ers, it is well to spread the
fertilizer over about three
to four feet of the row
area and disc or otherwise
well mix it into the soil
The purpose of this is to
avoid root injury, which
allows disease organisms
to enter and damage the
roots. A side placement of
100 pounds of fertilizer
per acre at planting time
might help to give the

plants a quicker start.
Cotton: Research has
found that a high calcium
level and a pH of 6 to 6.5
is best for good cotton per
formance. Indications are
that this will help to coun
teract some effects of the
seedling diseases. There
fore, we suggest that you
be sure that your fields to
go into cotton this year are
properly limed and have a
good calcium level.
Many cotton growers are
using Treflan as a herbi
cide for cotton. Treflan
should be incorporated in
to IV4 to 2 inches of soil
and no deeper if possible.
This chemical does have a
: damaging effect on early
root development. There
‘ fore, by cultivating it this
I shallow the young roots
are able to penetrate on
down below the herbicide
area and develop much
better.
About the same nema
todes affect cotton that af
fect corn, soybeans and
peanuts. Unless a soil as
say is made and the re
! port indicated) no need for
| soil fumigation, it is well
to row fumigate the soil
| for cotton.
1967 Annual Report Con’td.
Health and Safety: Staff
members presented a series
of radio programs during
North Carolina Farm Safe
ty Week in July on the fol
lowing topics: (1) Swim
ming and Boating Safety;
(2) Safeguard Your Farm
Against Fire; (3) Farm Ac
cidents; (4) Food and Your
Weight; (5) Safety in the
Home; (6) Safe Use of
Chemicals; and (7) Bicycle
Safety.
A number of additional
radio programs on safety
were given during the
months and special pro
grams on farm and home
safety were given during
National Farm Safety
Week.
Families listening to these
programs became interest
ed in other phases of safe
ty. One YMW Club of 27
members invited highway
patrolman, R. H. Allen of
Elizabeth City, to speak to
Council Formed
By Mail Users
A Mail Users Council
has been organized in
Elizabeth City to foster
more cooperation between
mailers and the Post Of
fice Department with bet
ter mail service the goal.
The new council is part
o{ a nationwide drive or
dered by Postmaster Gen
eral Lawrence F. O’Brien
to double the membership
in Mail Users Councils
from 20,000 to 40,000 this
year.
“These councils offer a
very practical way to im
prove mail service," At
lanta Regional Director C.
Banks Gladden said re
cently. “Virtually every
business and every other
organization depend on
mail service, and they lit
erally owe it to themselves
to look into the operation
of the postal service in
their community. They
should talk over their pos
tal problems with their
postmasters and offer their
suggestions.”
The Elizabeth City coun
cil is one of 25 being or
ganized in the Atlanta Re
gion during the current
drive that will increase the
total number in the region
to about 60. The region
consists of North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia
and Florida.
Edenton Postmaster James
Bond said this council has
an initial membership of IS
and will probably not grow
much larger. The mem
bers representing Edenton
on this council are James
Bond and Donald Tabeau
of Carter’s Ink Company.
Postmaster Bond said
his department is interest
ed in the viewpoints of
commercial mailers about
postal service because they
send about 80 per cent of
the nation's mail
volume, which la expected
to total about 82.1 billion
pieces during the 1988 fls-
etherna?

Chowan County, in co
operation with the District
Health Department, pur
chases material for rat
bait. The Health Depart
ment mixes the bait and
makes it available to the
county Extension offices for
distribution. Approximate
ly 600 one-pound packages
were distributed during
1967.
Family Relations: This
important field has been
emphasized through news
letters and leader reports.
The Chowan County Ex
tension Homemakers Clubs
were selected to prepare a
state fair booth in the field
of Family Relations.
“The Sea of Matrimony”
was chosen as the theme
and featured a couple on
board ship, tossing on the
stormy seas of matrimony,
harassed by the “rocks of
jealousy,” “the shoals of
debt,” “the winds of de
ceit", and “the billows of
temper.”
Helping guide them
around these pitfalls to
ward the island of happi
ness were buoys advising
love, understanding, com
munication, trust and self
control. This exhibit was
awarded a meritorious blue
ribbon and a S3OO pre
mium.

Home Industries: Because
of interest and skill in pre
paring conserved products
and a desire to increase in
come, five Chowan County
women are actively partici
pating in the area home in
dustries project. A stand
ards committee, set up by
the county, approves pro
ducts to be marketed. In
addition to those products
approved last year (water
melon rind pickle, fig pre
serves, pear preserves, two
relishes, and peach pre
serves), carrot relish, mix
ed picket, and pumpkin
conserve have been approv
ed. Products have been
sold at the 1967 Albemarle
Craftsman’s Fair, the North
Carolina State Fair, and at
various shops and stores.

Meetings of Jehovah’s
Witnesses in Chowan Coun
ty will be cancelled this
weekend since most of the
members will be attending
the spring seminar at
Goldsboro, March J 29-31.
M. E. Beltrami, presiding
minister of the Edenton
Congregation of Jehovah’s
Witnesses, said interested
persons of various faiths
had been invited to the
f -

conference and attendance
at the Goldsboro High
School is expected to ex
ceed 800 persons.
“‘Strengthening One An
other to Remain in the
Faith’, which is the as
sembly’s theme,” said Bel
trami, “is the concern of
all Christians as we see
Godless conimunism and '
lack of faltti spreading
among mankind today, es
pecially youth. The prob
lem lies with the parents
who - let their own faith
slip slowly away as it is
crowded out by concern for
modern-day living rather
than ‘old-fashioned’ faith.
“Providing children with
material abundance is not
enough,” continued Bel
trami. “We must give chil
dren moral substance by
teaching them the Bible,
both by word and by ex
ample. We can only do
this if we ourselves have
faith in the Bible and are
well-grounded in its prin- i
ciples.”
Assemblies such as being
held in Goldsboro, said Bel
trami, are designed to an
swer questions on the Bi- j j
ble itself as well as on the 1
best methods to study and
teach it. He invited any
one interested to attend the
convention and take ad
vantage of the free instruc- ■
tion being presented during
the three days.
The main lecture Sunday
afternoon by Joseph Saia.
