W. OVERMAN Lima Promotion Pro gram: A statewide lime promotion program was kicked off to a good start on September 12. The pur pose of this program is to influence farmers to have their soil tested and apply lime on all fields showing m CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY, OCTOBER U, IMS. a need for lime. It is es timated that if all fields in North Carolina needing lime were limed crop yields and quality would increase the agricultural income by at least $50,000,000 in the state. Since .Chowan County is one of the 100 counties, on the above basis if fields needing lime were limed, the gross agricultural in come in Chowas County would be increased be tween $50,000 and SIOO,OOO. This is a rough estimate but may not be too far up. Generally, our peanut, tobacco and cotton growers are having their soil tested in the fields where these crops are being grown. Likewise, they are apply ing the needed lime in most cases. But particu larly fields going into soy beans, corn and some vege table crops are not being soil sampled and needed lime applied. Harry Venters, agricul tural Extension agent, is acting as the Chowan County Extension coordin ator on the lime program. Let’s get on the soil test ing and liming band wagon with Harry and make this program a success in Cho wan County. The exten sion office has an ample supply of soil sampling ma terials and so do the fer tilizer dealers throughout the county. We don’t want to apply lime promiscuous ly but we do need to have the soil of each field sampled, tested and then follow the soil test report as for lime needed. The Peanut Crop: Pea nut harvesting is under way in full swing in Cho wan County. Thus far peanut yields are varying considerably. I have heard of some fields yielding between 3,000 and 4,000 pounds per acre and some fields yielding as low as 1,000 pounds per acre. The important thing is to dig peanuts as soon as they are ready. Next, com bine within two to three days after digging because some of the stems are -j anti* gasoline PURE FIREBIRD.

When peanuts tend to shat ter at combining, it is best to stop and combine that field at night or early of a morning when the stems have enough moisture to hold better. This will likely necessitate slower combining but it will save more peanuts. Proper curing is a must to obtain quality. The cur ing temperature should never go above 15 degrees above the outside tempera ture and preferably 10 to 12 degrees. There is no need to heat the curing air until the humidity is about 65 to 70 per cent, generally 68 to 70 per cent. Running heat when the air is al ready below 65 per cent in humidity is a waste of fuel because you can’t dry dry air. Curing of peanuts should stop and the pea nuts removed as soon as the moisture content drops to below 10 per cent. Nine to 9.5 per cent humidity is a good level to stop the curing and move the pea nuts on to the warehouse. This should result in the best grade and highest re turns. When peanuts are cured below 8 per cent moisture the grower loses. The County Fair: The County Fair is over but it was a real fair week, weatherwise, as well as quality wise.
