Page 8-B Around The Farms: Lack Os Rain Proves Damaging To Many Crops By Murray L. Goodwin Agri. Ext. Agent This past weekend Anna and I went to High Point for the funeral and burial of Sonny Smithson. It was a beautiful place in the shade Jaw Growth PINE MOUNTAIN, Ga. - Protruding front teeth - the familiar “Bucky Beaver” look - are a common sight in orthodontists’ offices. Most parents assume their children’s teeth just came in crooked. They care more about how long (and how much) it will take to straighten them than how they got that way. A California dental specialist told members of the Georgia Society of Orthodontists here that insufficient lower jaw growth - not crooked teeth - causes most “Bucky Beaver” cases. Dr. Robert P. Scholz, Landowner ship Forum Is Set On Saturday, August 8, 1981, the Agricultural Ex tension Program at N. C. A&T State University in cooperation with legal Services of the Coastal Plains, Assemblies of Hertford, Bertie, Halifax, Gates and Northampton Counties; National Association of Landowners; NAACP und Mount Olive Baptist Church will sponsor a Landownership Forum from IP.

From there we went to Hickory and Anna’s family reunion. As we traveled the 700 miles I had my eyes on Blamed For Children’s Crooked Teeth Alameda, CA, told the Georgia orthodontists at their annual scientific meeting that, typically, the upper jaw grows normally while the lower is retarded. This thrusts the upper arch forward, producing the familiar protrusive look. Dr. Scholz said that treatment of most protrusion problems should involve stimulating lower jaw growth instead of retarding the upper jaw. He said that a removable oral appliance may reduce the time a child has to wear braces to correct a “Bucky Beaver” problem. The appliance make the child’s jaw muscles work minority groups and on strategies for retention of landownership. For more information, please contact: Rev. James Felton, Training Center, P. 0.

C. ’ Department of Agriculture estimates that the North* Carolina crop will average 75 bushels to the acre. I suspect that the average yield will be lowered when visit a general dentist first at age 3 and be seen by an orthodontic specialist at age 7. “There’s a lot more to a perfect bite than straight teeth,” Dr. Scholz noted. He urged parents to be aware of jaw growth deficiency and consult with an orthodontist early. the next estimate comes out about August 12. Cantaloupe Patch In Rowan County We came across a pretty Burpee cantaloupe patch in Rowan County. We stopped for about a half hour. Mr. Coyer had his crop on black plastic and was irrigating the field. He was getting 60 cents a piece at the super market. Sampson County We had heard much about watermelons in Sampson County - 550 acres. It would appear that they had not had any rain in a month in some places. As we stopped for information Glenn Perry stopped. He is going to parole officer’s school at Salmeburg. Most of the watermelon fields we saw were severely damaged from dry weather. Cantaloupe Field Test Our cantaloupe field test with Carroll Bass on the Lester Harrell Farm is in the process of being har vested. Again we have been lucky with the weather. This test is on dark sandy soil and a rainy seas mi might have ruined the test completely. Our data is incomplete but some things are evident. The melons are probably the largest we have ever had. Eight to 12 pound melons are commonplace. We haven’t had any rotten bottoms at all. There has been some severe splitting around the scar. In the final analysis we predict Saticoy, Harper and Super Market will show up with the characteristics we need. New Cantaloupes Magnum may hold some promise for us if our buyers become serious about wanting a small cantaloupe. This meton had an average weight of 4.9 pounds; has an excellent net; and has a good taste. It would appear to be a good melon. Carnival looks like Super Market but is late, about like Saticoy. Super Star is a pretty cantaloupe, is large, eats fairly well and has a large scar. Most varieties with large scar will have trouble in hauling. Super Star was lata: this year than last year for us. Alaska appears to have no promise for us! Classic has small scar, eats good, is early, and has good size. We don’t know if it will haul. Cantaloupe Disease We have had an unusual thing insofar as diesase is concerned in watermelons and cantaloupes. In the past we have observed that cantaloupes have been more susceptible than water melons to leaf diseases. Not so in Carroll Bass field this year. This field had Verona (black round melon), Crimson Sweet, and can taloupe variety test joining. The Verona melons became heavily infected with leaf diseases about a month ago. Crimson Sweet has the Thursday, July 30, 1981 trouble but to a lesser degree. But not a single cantaloupe variety has the trouble to any degree to speak of. We have no ex planation for this. Watermelon Variety Test Both of our watermelon variety tests are looking good at this time. We will make the first harvest in Mike and John Pippin’s test Friday. This test was ex posed to severe wind damage in May. The other test is being conducted by Bobby and Emmett Winborne. The field is right along the road on the same side of the road as Bobby’s house. We invite you watermelon farmers to stop and look at the test. After a rough start this test has come on strong and looks very good at this time. We are anxious to see how the new hybrid Madera yields. It looks like Crimson Sweet. Sugar Lee and Dixie Lee both look good in both tests.
