Most farmers in Chowan
County have used herbicides
on their peanuts. This in it
self should reduce the num
ber of cultivations that are
necessary. In fact, as far as
yield is concerned, cultiva
tion in general will reduce
the pounds of peanuts re
gardless of how careful the
cultivation is done. The ab
sence of cultivation is and
should be our alternative

goal and to bring this about
takes a combination of herbi
cides as there is no one chem
ical by itself that is available
that will eliminate all culti

tivate, there are a few basic
rules to follow. This is true
•for the farmer who does not
use herbicides and also those
that use chemicals.
1. When cultivation alone
is selected as the means of
weed control, cultivate early,
often and flat.
2. Where herbicides are

soon as grass or weed seed
lings begin emerging.
3. Never throw dirt on the
peanut plant.
If these principles are fol
lowed, there is little likeli
hood that yields or quality
will be greatly reduced by
cultivation. It is difficult,
however, not to violate these
principles to a slight degree
under most farm conditions.

; job. The power driven rot
ary cultivator is often used
for early cultivation. The big
advantage of the power driv
en rotary cultivator is that its
effectiveness is not limited to
sjnall seedling grass and
weeds. Proper speed is im
portant in order to do an ef
fective job. Shields are
available and will prevent
throwing soil directly on the
plants.
Sweeps are the most popu
lar means of cultivating pea
nuts. They are low in cost
and their use is familiar to
everyone. Since flat cultiva
tion is desired for disease
control, a low crown high
speed sweep should be used
which will not throw soil on
the plants. This type sweep
is referred to as a sandy
soil sweep, a Texas sweep, a
bindweed sweep, or simply a
low cr flat crown sweep. On
this type sweep, it is the
shank that is most likely to
throw soil. For this reason,
growers should use the larg
est size sweep possible in or
der to keep the shank of the
sweep as far away from the
plants as necessary.
In many cases where her
bicides have been used and
good control has been ob
tained, some grass and weed
seedlings will start appearing
after about 50 days. A good
cultivation with high speed
sweeps or with a rotary cul
tivator if the plants are small
should be given as soon as
the grass and weeds seed
lings are found. In most
cases, it will also be neces
sary to hoe the peanuts in
order to remove the grass and
weeds from the peanut row
itself. Flat cultivation plus
non-dirting are big factors in
permitting the peanut plant
to develop and produce fruit
normally.
Unless a good row profile
has been maintained during
the season, it is a good idea
to run a email sweep down
the middle of the row prior
to the time the plants lap in
the middle. The small de
pression formed by this op
eration will make it easier to
guide the tractor between the
row during the rest of the
season and will be extremely
important at digging time.

This Is The Law
By ROBERT K. LEE
(For the N. C. Bar Association)
CRIMES OF WIVES
Is a wife liable for the
crimes she commits in the
presence of her husband?
If a crime is committed by
the wife in the presence of
her husband, there arises a
rebuttable presumption, sub
ject to certain exceptions,
that the wife was acting un
der the coercion of her hus
band and as a consequence
she is excused.
This is the rule ai common
law and is followed at the
present time in North Caro
lina and most other jurisdic
tions.
This is a relic of a by-gone
age. It arose during a period
of our law when it was the
“husband’s duty to make the
wife behave herself," and to
thrash her, if necessary, to
that end. And to exercise
this authority to keep his
■wife in good behavior, the
husband was at one time
given the right to whip his
wife with a switch no larger
than his thumb. Wife beat
ing, however, is no longer
permitted in North Carolina.
The reason for the pre
sumption has long ceased to
exist; and when the reason
for a presumption has ceased
to exist, the presumption it
self should also cease to
exist. Having sought and ob
tained new rights and priv
ileges, which have placed her
upon a plane equal with, and
at times superior to, her hus
band, the wife should accept
the corresponding obligations
and responsibilities which
those rights entail, and should
no longer take shelter under
the supposed dominion of her
husband.
There is some doubt as to
what crimes are expected
from the common-law rule
which holds that a wife is
presumed to be acting under
the coercion of her husband
when she commits a crime in
his presence. It has been
generally held throughout the
country that the rule does not
apply to murder or treason.
The wife may be punished
for any crime committed in
her husband’s presence if the
presumption is rebutted by
circumstances appearing in
the evidence which clearly
shows that the wife acted
voluntarily and under nc co
ercion from her husband.
A husband is not generally
responsible for the crimes cf
his wife in which he in no
way participates. He is, of
course, not liable for crimes
committed by his wife in his
absence and without his com
mand or concurrence. The
wife alone is responsible for
such crimes.
If a wife voluntarily joins
with her husband in the com
mission of a crime, both are
equally guilty and both may
be jointly convicted.
