Cantaloupes Varieties Developed In Rocky Hock
Bjr WilUm W. Mi
4 Eight varieties of canta

Bocky Hock area last year.
This makes a total of 30 va

NEW ANSWERS SOLVE
ENZYME CONFUSION
Suddenly the most fre
quently heard word among
homemakers is “enzyme”. First
the enzyme appeared in pre
soaks. Now the leading deter
gents contain enzymes aB well.
But while the enzyme has been
hailed by many as the greatest
washday discovery of modern
times, it is still surrounded by
i a maze of confusion for the
housewife who has to determine
which laundry products will be
most effective for her washday
needs and also give her the best
results for her money.
Did you know, for instance,
that enzymes can he used in
Jtoth hot and cold.water, that
they require 30 minutes to
reach their full effectiveness,
and that since they work on the
stain and not on the fabric they
are safe for even the most deli
cate laundry items?
These and other questions
about enzymes have now been
answered in a timely new book
let called “Enzyme Action”. It
has compiled the 25 questions
housewives most frequently ask
about enzymes. For example,
what exactly are enzymes?
How do they work on stains and
which stains do they affect
most? What's the difference be
tween enzymes and bleach? Be
tween the pre-soaks and the
, enzyme detergents? And. per-
Z~ haps most important to the
homemaker, how should en
zymes be used in the laundry
in order to get the' maximum
benefits from them.,

weight, ranging from 3.7 to
6.0 pounds. The melon is
round-oval in shape, has a
slight rib, and is covered with
medium netting. Flesh is
orange colored with a small
cavity, and the mean sugar
content is 12 per cent. It
has obvious resistance to
powdery mildew and an ap
parent tolerance to Fusarium
species. It is reported to be
resistant to downy mildew.
It should ship well. This va
riety could be grown in 1970
on a limited trial basis.

SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON
Continued from rage t
with them our numanity-
Our strengths and our weak
nesses; our doubts and our
hopes.
We may be “new people”—
but to God we are all one.
On our shoulders rests the
same constraint and the same
responsibility that Christ
charged His disciples with—
we must noise abroad the
good news of the Christian
concept; man may sin, but
man's sins may be forgiven
if he truly repents those sins.
That which has been lost is
returned to the fold—and be
comes a matter for rejoicing.

When was the last time
you admitted being wrong in
something? It should have
been the last time you were
wrong.
Freedom of speech is a
valuable possession of every
man but it is a foolish indi
vidual who speaks too freely.

THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1979.
> coarse overall netting, aver
: aging 4,5 pounds in weight.
It is heavily ribbed. Flesh
is orange, and sugar content
ranges from 10 to 12 per
cent. There is a medium
large cavity. There is no ap
parent resistance to powdery
mildew, but an apparent lim
ited tolerance to Fusarium
species.
Sweet Heart—This is a Jap
anese melon, very sweet
with sugar readings ranging
up to 17 per cent. It has no
place in our production pro
gram, since it cracks severely
prior to maturity, is smooth
and has no netting, and suc
cumbs quite readily to foliar
diseases. Flesh is pale or
ange in color.
King Henry—This melon Ls
fairly small, averaging 2.7
pounds in weight. This mel
on is rounded with very
slight rib and fair netting.
For its size, stem scar was
quite large. Sugar readings
at principal harvest were 7.0
per cent but it is felt that
weather conditions affected
this. Cavity is medium and
shape is very slightly elong
ate. There appears to be no
resistance to diseases which
affect the plant.
Gulf Stream—A fully sph
erical melon and excellently
netted, this fruit averages 2.9
pounds in weight and has
length / diameter measure
ments of 5-in. x 5-in. Has
good orange internal color
and sugar readings in the 10-
11 per cent range. Has known
resistance to powdery mil
dew, and claimed resistance
to downy mildew, and a
slightly apparent tolerance to
Fusarium species. Growers
consider this melon too small
for bulk market. It may
have a place if crating can
taloupe is ever considered.
Harper Hybrid—This melon
is grown in the Rocky Hock
area mainly because it will
produce in soils which will
not permit production of
Hales Best Jumbo; thus, re
sistance to the Fusarium ne
matode complex is assumed.
Resistance to powdery mil
dew is limited. 'The fruit is
very slightly netted, rounded
in shape—sometimes slightly
flattened, with a large stem
scar and a tendency to crack
and split at the stem end.
Mean weight per melon is
3.5 pounds. Flesh is orange
colored, usually of good
quality with sugar readings
in the 11-12 per cent range.
Growers indicate that it is
not a good shipping melon.
Hales Best Jumbo —The old
stand-by melon preferred by
growers but apparently to
tally lacking in resistance to
both leaf and soil borne dis
eases. This melon has an ex
cellent net, matures uniform
ally, is oval in shape and has
a i mean sugar content of 10-
11 per cent. Stem scar is
medium with limited split
ting and it has slight to me
dium ribbing. Average weight
is approximately 3.5 pounds.
It is a good shipping melon,
and its lack of disease resist
ance is its greatest drawback.
Two other varieties matur
ed no marketable melons,
since both plantings were de
stroyed by powdery mildew.
By studying the informa
tion above, a grower can
evaluate varietal performance
in his own county and thus
be able to exercise better
judgment in selecting the
cantaloupe variety for his
commercial crop in 1970.

DOWN ON HIS KNEES
By MARY LIZZIE LANE
Just think of John the Baptist, he came to the scene,
He preached repentance, and the life he lived was clean.
Now old Herod was so wicked and corrupt,
Herod put John in prison so that would hush him up.
King Herod had took his brother Phillip’s wife,
John preached about this kind of ungodly life.
Herod wanted John put to death,
But the multitude wanted the prophet left.
When King Herod’s birthday came, he gave a prom,
He did things he knew was very wrong.
And Herodia was sitting there
With her you.n; daughter so pretty and fair.
And when the a. nee did begin.
Herodias’ young daughter was bound to win.
She was pretty and Herod loved her next to the queen.
When she danced by Herod how her body she did swing.
Heroa reached out and took her by the arm.
She was dressed so thin, Herod she had charmed.
She had just about enough on to clothe a mockingbird,
This is the story I've always heard.
And he smiled up into her face,
Herod told her anything she requested should take place.
And there sat her mother with her evil eye.
Watching her young daughter as she went dancing by.
The dance did go on, everyone was in wonder.
She got to her mother, that’s where she made the blunder.
Old Herod never dreamed what she would demand,
She asked that John the Baptist head be delivered to har
There was John down in the cell so damp and cold,
But when Herod heard her request he didn’t feel so hold
Herod could not afford to go back on his word,
Because he was so wrapped up in this ungodly world.
John was down in the cell praying for their lost souls,
I am certain he was hungry and also very cold.
John had preached to Herod and told him it was wrong
To take his brother's wife and hold her in his arms.
There was John the Baptist in the cell on his knees.
When he heard the executioner coming, he was very lvn
at ease.
And he heard the sword when it jingled against the plat I
They took poor John’s head before he knew what was
