Vegetable Meeting To Be Conducted
'•by Murray Goodwin
Chowan and Perquimans
Extension workers will con
duct a vegetable meeting on
Monday night, February 14,
7:30, in the Oak Grove Com
munity Building. All
vegetable farmers in Per
quimans and Chowan and the
surrounding counties are in
vited to attend.
The subject that will
receive most attention is leaf
disease on cantaloupes and
watermelons. Last year we
have ten-acre fields that had
no watermelons pulled from
them. Most every cantaloupe
and watermelon field in the
area had some leaf damage
which made the melons
smaller than they would have
been otherwise. Bill Jester,
extension chairman in Per
quimans County, will lead this
discussion. Bill has a master
degree in plant pathology
from the University of
Delaware and worked in that
aretr before coming South a
few years ago. Bill was rais
ed in Maryland, about a dozen
miles from Laurel, Delaware.
Dr. Bill Lamont will bring
us up to date on his work with
growing cantaloupes and
watermelons on plastic. He
also will give us the results of
white sweet corn test con
