The Republic of China is one of the world's richest min eral-owning countries, accord ing to a report by the U.S. Bureau of Mines.

"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 fx-jl n-T r DOWNTOWN EDENTON ™ Qffelfc Tyler FASHION IF!

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. Thursday, March 11,1976 Idb In T«m I" ‘ Dmm To N«M - } Swfcy M SMfcy The N. C.
