Around Chowan County Farms
' By R M. THOMPSON
County Extension Chairman
I iLcoking a t m an y 0 f the
com fields in Chowan Coun
ty, H appears from the color
that the cool weather has tied
up nitrogen to where it is not
available and the com is
showing a yellow cast. In
most cases warmer weather
will correct this where the
nitrogen has been applied
when the corn was pegging
and it becomes available to
the plant
There is also evidence in
com of minor element defici
encies. In most cases the
symptoms of the com in a
deficiency in manganese. Man
ganese deficiency can occur
in corn, soybeans and peanuts
when the soil pH is from 6.1
or higher. K usually occurs
on the high, well drained soil
first and causes a striping of
the leaves with the ribs green
and in between ribs a yellow
ing effect. The best way to
correct this is by soil samp
ling and where manganese is
kw, applying it in the fer
tilizer. But for those fields
where it comes on after the
plants arc up and there is a
manganese deficiency appear
ing, it can be corrected (for
that growing year by spray
ing manganese directly on the
foliage. Increase in yields
have been considerable in
soybeans particularly where
this deficiency has appeared
by correcting it with foliage
application.

tolerance was permissible on
each basket hoist and the
panic of the crew trying to
get in the basket all at the
same time further hampered
the rescue from the sinking
vessel.' Such extraordinary
skill, judgment, devotion to
duty and intrepid action is
expected of Coast Guard avia
tors and often routinely re
ported, but LCDR. Murphy
was awarded the Distinguish
ed Plying Cross and his
crewmen, operating all day
after a sleepless night on
duty, showed unflinching cour
age and clear judgment in
aiding the rescue effort. He
was awarded the Air Medal.’'
Following recommendations
by Capt. Fred Merritt, com
manding officer at the Eliza
beth City Coast Guard Air
Station, Murphy and Thcidc
man received citations from
the President of the United
States through Hon. John A.
Volpe, secretary of transpor
tation. Medals were present
ed August 1, 1960, by Rear.
Adm. E. C. Allen, Jr., com
mander, Fifth Coast Guard
District.
Williams said that should
Murphy win the helicopter
heroism award, he will re
ceive $1,500 from Avco Cor
poration in addition to a tro
phy and expense-paid trip for
two to the Las Vegas news
conference. In the past the
award has gone to Vietnam
Veterans who have earned the
Congressional Medal of Honor
but few non-combat situations
have matched LCDR. Mur
phy’s exploits off Hatteras.
