Around The Chowan County Farms
By Mike Williams
County Extention Chairman
This harvest season has
been one of the warmest and
wettest in recent memory and
as a result there is still an
unusual amount of soybeans
still in the field. Having soy
beans in the field this late in
the year always brings up
decisions many growers
aren’t very comfortable with.
Obviously, we’d rather not
have them still standing in the
field, but how big a problem
it actually becomes remains
to be seen. Right now, they
could be thought of as being
stored in the field under
adverse environmental condi
tions. We’re concerned that
shatter losses may soon

Saving The Roots
When dentures are
needed, any supporting
bones in the gums can
help make them fit more
comfortably. This in
cludes whatever tooth
roots can be saved. They
act just like pilings do in
supporting a building.
Sometimes metal at
tachments are made for
dentures and roots, so
they connect together. Or
a thimble-shaped metal
cover is attached to the
root, designed so that it
fits into the denture for
additional support. Sav
ing the roots helps in
other ways. Some people
lose their “sense of feel”
when their teeth are
closed because they’ve
lost all of their roots and
surrounding nerve fibers.
When some roots are re
tained, they keep this
sense of touch when their

become significant, especial
ly if we get many good drying,
days before the ground gets
dry enough to hold a combine.
We're also worried about
diseases, which are usually
present in the field to some
extent, developing enough to
get into the pod and on (or
even in) the seed, with a
resulting deterioration of
quality. This is obviously a
real concern for the
seedsmen, but it could also
become a problem for com
mercial fields as well if it gets
bad enough that the elevator
starts docking them. Two ad
ditional sources of losses
which are real, but which
haven’t been considered ma
jor sources of yield loss in
teeth are in contact.
There is another advan
tage: it helps prevent fur
ther loss of bone by reduc
ing wear on the jawbone
itself. Because of the
stronger support, the den
tures not only fit better,
they tend to last longer
before they have to be fit
ted or replaced.
Just like whole teeth,
, hgaltfi Qf the „
roots must be maintained
as long a? possible. This

even more important for
denture wearers whose
roots have been saved.

reality, are the increase in
lodging from delayed
harvesting and the continued
high rates of respiration of the
seed, which causes loss of dry
weight in the seed, disease
problems, and reduce seed
quality.
While we recognize that
split and bruised seed are
more likely when combined
above 13% moisture, this still
all boils down to get them out
of the field at the first good
chance. However, it may in
fact be better to leave them
there than putting them in a
truck if you don’t have a good
place to unload the truck. The
elevators and processors can
only handle so many wet
(over 13% moisture) beans,
and most have been at capaci
ty more than once already
this fall. Certainly the beans
can go in a bin, if you have an
empty bin available. But you
can’t hold them long in a bin
without being able to move air
through them, and you can
probably get them through a
combine at a moisture level
high enough that safe storage
time is measured in hours, not
days.
The higher the moisture
content, and the temperature,
the more rapidly seed respire.
This is especially noticeable
above 15% moisture and
above 50 degrees fahrenheit.
The end products of respira
tion are heat and water,
which both further increase
respiration rates of the seed
and help create a more
favorable environment for
microbial growth. These
microbes can respire many
times more rapidly than
seeds, which further ag
gravates the problem.
Reversing these principles,
the drier and cooler soybean
seeds are, the longer they can
be kept in storage without loss
of dry weight and quality. The
sooner they’re dried and
cooled, the better. We’d
prefer to dry them first, then
cool them, but would rather
do it in the reverse order than
wait for dry weather to do it
in the preferred order. Even
with dry, cool beans, we need
to move air through the beans'
about 2 hours per week to pre*:
«vent moisture migration and;
temperature buildups in spots
in the pile of beans. This is
doubly critical with wet
and/or warm soybeans, so
wet beans on a truck, or in a
bin without aeration capabili
ty, are a potential disaster.
We seldom use heat to dry
soybeans except in a con
tinuous flow drier, to avoid
overdrying and overheating
the seeds. Raising the
temperature of the air 20
degrees fahrenheit will cut
the relative humidity in half.
Air at 75% relative humidity
THE CHOWAN HERALD
will dry soybeans down to
13.2% moisture; air at 60%
relative humidity will dry
them clear down to 9.7%.
Thus we seldom need
or even want heat, because
we can usually get the job
done with a little care when
during the day and night we
run the fan.
To safely store soybeans for
more than a week or two in
our winter months, they pro
bably need to be at 11-12%
moisture and cooled to out
side temperatures. To include
storage through a week of
unusually warm winter
weather, or very far into the
spring, you’ll probably need
the soybeans at 10-11%. No,
the elevator won’t pay any
premium for having them
drier than 13%, but neither
will they dock the price for
poor quality beans, and your
losses in dry weight while in
storage will be minimal.
One final reminder. The
cost of combining and hauling
are the only costs that have to
be recovered in deciding
whether a field is worth com
bining. Selling $40.00 worth of
soybeans that you paid $25.00
to get harvested will lose a
grower less money than hav
ing the $40.00 worth of soy
beans in the field.
Midwest Pattern
Clinic To Be Held
On January 14, Midwest
Pattern Clinic, Inc., will be at
Boswell Restaurant, 406 W.
Queen Street, Edenton, the
classes start at 10 A.M. and at
7 P.M. The clinic will be held
in three parts: 1) Show you
how to make patterns that fit
using the “Golden Rule on
Lutterloh System”, 2) Pattern
fitting, adjusting, and design
ing, 3) How to make slacks
that fit, and adjustments to
store-bought or commercial
patterns.
Midwest patterns has been
conducting clinics in the
United States for 14 years and
in Canada for the last three
years. Our instructors teach
people how to make patterns,
, Jiow to fit and adjust them,
and create unlimited designs
’'by only taking-two body
. measurements. Thisxsystem
of pattern making has been
used all over the world. It was
developed in Germany by
Maria Lutterloh in 1932. In
Europe this method is taught
in the junior high and high
school classrooms.
In the clinic, we will make
a pattern for a lady from the
class by taking her
measurements, in com
parison to store-bought pat
terns that are made to sizes.
When you leave the three
hour clinic, you will be more
knowledgeable about your
present commercial or store
bought patterns, know how to
adjust them, and also have
alternative methods of pat
tern making. You will receive
a basic dress, slack, and suit
dress pattern fitting book.
Vegetable School
& Scheduled
By W.R. Jester
Perquimans Ext. Chinn.
Fifty growers are ex
pected to attend an Area
Vegetable School sponsored
by the North Carolina
Agricultural Extension
Service at the Albemarle
Regional Planning and
Development Commission
(ARPDC) Building in
Hertford on Thursday,
January 13, 1983. The
educational program is free,
with specific information
meant to assist vegetable
producers in extending their
marketing season, main
taining quality after har
vest, and developing
wholesale marketing
contacts and strategies.
The program will begin at
10 A.M. and last until 4 P.M.
including a free sponsored
lunch. New labor saving
technologies, chemicals for
crop protection, and new
vegetable crops with high
market potential will also be
presented.

county office or the

Service.
