THE CHOWAN HERALD, EPBMTOM, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1676. Farmers Offered WtdeCropVariety By William W. BeM Farmers in the United States can now select from 603 varieties of tomatoes, 320 varieties of sweet com, 92 different varieties of canta loupes, 62 varieties of lettuce and 39 varieties of spinach. Facing such an array of va rieties, how does an individual farmer select the two or three varieties which are most apt to produce at a pro fit for him? Obviously a grower cannot take the time or expense of evaluating this many differ ent varieties. It would simp ly cost too much and take too long. This is a situation then where the Agricultural Extension Service of N. C. State University serves the agricultural economy of Cho wan County in a direct fash ion. Since 1964, investiga tions have been taking place on farmer’s farms here in the' county—looking for the best varieties of cantaloupes, sweet com, watermelon, lima bean, onion and cabbage. Because oj the actual ■test ing oi new varieties which occurs on vegetable - growing farms in the county, the Jk ft * ' - J v TEST PLOT—Onions at right'of picture were seeded in the fall (September) while those at left were selected the following February. None of the 24 varieties seeded in Feb .ruary produced seed stalks,, but size of bqlb was relatively small. Heavy percentage of the September seeded onions .produced seed stalks but, of those which did not go to seed, size of bulb was very satisfactory. Photo taken June, 1969, near Tyner. So.

We are not now .required to accept— for example—the results of agricultural research in Can ada on a specified variety, but can turn to our own rec ords for evidence of perform ance under our own condi tions. This gives growers a greater assurance of produc tion and profit when newer varieties show evidence of superior performance over those we have been produc ing. One example of plot-work testing occurred last year (1969) on Yellow Hammer Road when 24 varieties of onions were direct-seeded on two separate dates. The ob jectives here were several: (1) to determine which va riety was best; (2) to deter mine the best time to seed; (3) to determine if seeded onions would produce under Chowan County conditions, and (4) to try to find another crop that farmers could pro duce at a profit. On-farm testing is planned for 1970 with cantaloupes, sweet com and watermelons in the Rocky Hock area. The possibility of using plastic and paper mulch for meloh' production may also be ex plored. security benefits for the months I will not be active in my business. Is this true? A. Yes.

Ervin Says WASHINGTON—The public school system faces its worst crisis in history if the fed eral government persists in its course of destroying the “neighborhood” school by de manding that students, facul ties and administrators be shuffled about like unfeeling pawns in a chess game. What started out 16 years ago as a monumental Su preme Court decision against segregation in the public schools has turned into a growing nightmare of confu sion in recent years. The federal courts and HEW ad ministrators have required actions never contemplated in the original Brown decision. These have taken the form of "forced busing” to achieve “racial balance,” the estab lishment of numerical quotas and the assignment of teach ers to particular schools to meet such quotas. For example, if neighbor hood schools are not located in racially mixed districts, a decree is rendered compelling school boards to resort to geographical rezoning, to bus school children from or\e school district to another and to “pair 'Schools. The South, which has borne the full impact of these rul ings, has learned that inte gration • has been assigned a primary role by the federal courts and HEW. These branches of the federal gov ernment have created the feeling that education of ‘children is secondary import ance. Time and again in recent years, school boards and tax payers have felt the brunt of trying to meet impossible deadlines that the federal government would have diffi culty in meeting if it were carrying out such orders. As a consequence, students and parents, teachers and princi- CEMB appreciate I f H 1 pfll Business! buy coble! pals, school boards and tax payers are constantly frus trated as they await the next ruling on the fate of their local school. All of this and much more has been aired in the Senate recently as it has undertaken to write a new elementary and secondary education act. 1 have offered several amend ments to this bill which I hope that the Senate will adopt, because I think it would restore common sense principles in the functioning of our public schools. 1 have urged that we restore to local school boards the power to administer their schools with out impairing in any way their constitutional obligation under the equal protection clause of the 14th amend ment. If enacted, my amend ments would confer on par ents the right to choose the public schools their children would attend. It is ironic that Congress must again seek to resolve this dilemma. On three occa sions since 1964, it has said in unmistakable language that “desegregation” shall not mean the assignment of stu dents to the public schools in order to overcome “racial im balance”; that no department of the federal government shall “require the assignment or transportation of students or teachers in order to over come racial imbalance”; and that no federal funds “shall be used to force busing of students —or the attendance of students at a particular school in order to overcome racial imbalance.” In spite of these unequivo cal provisions, we find the federal courts today requir ing some of the very things forbidden under these sta tutes. What Congress will now do is problematical, since much !’ Cuthrell's Dept Store 4 BIG DAYS i THURSDAY - FRIDAY - SATURDAY - MONDAY SALE BEGINS THURSDAY AT 9:00 A.
