announced last week that he
will retire on July 1. He is a
former superintendent of

The Republic of China is
one of the world's richest min

In 1975, China was among
the top three countries in the
production of coal, anthracite,
tungsten, antimony, mercury,
pyrites and asbestos.

The report noted that China
is particularly rich in bitumi

"Nenotode Resistance” Net Adequate
RALEIGH -“Nematode
resistance” may not be
adequate crop protection
from nematode attack in
North Carolina.
According to Dr. David A.
Rickard, chief of the
nematode advisory section
of the NCDA’S Agronomic
Division, far too many
growers are depending only
on “nematode resistant’’
varieties for nematode
control. The two crops most
often in danger from such a
practice are soybeans and
tobacco.
“It is true both soybean
and tobacco varieties are
available which offer
resistance to certain plant
parasitic nematodes,” said
Dr. Rickard. “However,
many fiqjds where these
crops are planted contain

nematode species against
which there is no resistance.
“For example, Forrest
and Pickett 71 soybeans
may give good protection to
certain root-knot and cyst
nematodes, but do not give
any protection from lesion,
lance, stubby-root, sting,
spiral or stunt nematodes.
Any combination of these
nematodes - may be
frequently found in North
Carolina soybean fields. If
they occur in high numbers,
any one of these species can
do serious damage unless
controlled with nematicides
before planting,” he
explained.
There is only one way to
find out what the nematode
population is in a field
before planting - nematode
assay. This service is
provided by the North
Carolina Department of
Agriculture to all citizens of
the state. There is • fee of
one dollar for each
nematode assay sample
processed in the namatode
advisory lab.
Contact the agricultural
extension office in your
county for all necessary
information and supplies.
Properly followed
nematode control practices
can add many dollars to
farm profits, whereas
unwise practices, such as
the nematode guessing
game, can severely reduce
the prpfit margin.
If the world had no
fanatics, eccentrics and
partisans, life would be
rather dull and tiresome.
