Good Herbicide
bicitkior controlling grasses
and some weeds,” Dr.
Richard Bonanno, week con
trol specialist, said at the an
nual Perquimans-Chowan
County Begetable meeting.
“And, he said, “it is cheaper
than the chemicals we have
bad before.” Rich said, “We
have not had trouble with
Sonalan, but in New Jersey
during a cold rainy spell,
there were some problems,
especially when plastic was
used.”
Dr. Bill Lord told the
farmers from Chowan, Per
quimans, Pasquotank, Cur
rituck, and Washington Coun
ties that bees are essential for
good pollination of can
taloupes and watermelons.
Bees increase yields and
quality of melons. You need
one thriving hive per acre.
Bees do most of their work
in the morning and are more
active in warm weather. Lord
said bees can be rented and
there are some available
locally.
Murry Goodwin, local agent
said,“We had six new
varieties in waterlmelon
variety tests that hve poten
tial for commercial produc
tion in Chowan-Perquimans
area. They are Imperial,
Prince Charles, lopride,
Charleston Gray No.5, FLA
78SW4, and Cal Sweet.”
Imperial looks like Crimson
Sweet with good yield poten
tial. Prince Charles is an ex
cellent early gray melon,
lopride is a dark round melon
with highest yield in test.
Charleston Gray NO.5 is a
good yeilding gray melon
FLA 78SW4 was earliest in
test with big melons. Cal
Sweet is a beautiful long
streaked melon and dark red
meat like Dixie Lee.
Asgrow EPH 5024 has the
real pretty dark red color but
yield was not too good.
“In our canteloupe variety
test Super Star had perfor
mance that shows it is a large
early melon and does well on
higher groung,” Goodwin
said.
In the test about growing
canteloupe on plastic, indica
tions were that melons are
earlier and yield is higher
when grown on plastic. In the
variety part of test. Star Trek
looked good, probably best in
test. Some yields hit 14,000
melons per acre and 70,000
pounds per acre.
In Sweet Corn Variety Test,
Asgrow XPH 2562 showed ex
cellent potential for quality
and pretty good yields as well.
Toim* Campbell,
agricultural extension agent
for Pasquotank County,

test. He also outlined steps

black rot. “Some new
varieties have giore
resistance to black rot than

Home Sewing Creative. And Saves You Money
Home sewing is a good way
to express creativity. But can
you save money at the same
time? Well, that depends. To
figure out the answer, you’ll
have to compare the cost of a
ready-to-wear garment with
the cost of similar fabric, pat
tern and notions.
And you’ll have to take your
time and skills into considera
tion, too.
To put time spent on sewing
into perspective, figure out
how long it will take you to
make a garment and multip
ly that figure by the minimum
wage. Then add the cost of
your time to the cost of
materials and see if sewing
still makes sense.
Think about your personal
skills too. Be sure you have
the know-how to make a gar
ment that can equal the tailor
ing done on a similar ready

The Freeway Space
A few years back there was
an advertising campaign
featuring the slogan, “I’d
rather fight than switch.” It
showed a man or a woman
with rather prominent black
eye and the message was ob
vious that he or she would
rather take a fist in the eye
than switch brands.
In a number of ways, these
advertisements bear on the
dilemma which faces
countless eyeglass wearers.
They are loyal to their spec
tacles in spite of any inconve
nience or vision disruption
they represent. Rather than
switch to contact lenses, they
put up with impaired
peripheral vision, movement
during physical activity, and
altered appearance.
Of course not everyone can
wear contact lenses.
However, for the thousands
who could make the switch
and benefit from it, now is the
time to give up your stubborn
loyalty. Contact lenses are
more comfortable and conve
nient to use than ever before.
So the next time you visit your
optometrist for your regular
examination, why not ask for
an easy demonstration.

To Fight Or Switch?
When you think of
“freeway”, you probably
think of the high speed
motorways leading in and
out of big cities. But you
also have a freeway
space - in your mouth.
When your jaws are in a
normal and relaxed posi
tion, there’s a space bet
ween your upper and
lower jaws that dentisis
call “the freeway space.”
It has nothing to do with
traffic, but it has a lot to
do with mouth comfort.
Whenever full or par
tial dentures are placed
in a patient’s mouth, the
dentist makes sure the
freeway space is not
eliminated. This may
cause temperoman
dibular joint (TMJ) pro
blems. Your
temporomandibular
joints are located on each
side of your head, just in
ternal and in front of your
ear openings, and are
connected to the lower
jawbone.
If your chewing
muscles or the ligments
that control them are
over-stretched, too slack,
inflamed, or in spasm,
this can cause the severe
pain in the jaw joint area.
If you are feeling any
discomfort or pain in your
jaw area when you open
or dose your mouth, have
this condition treated by
your dentist,'

Don’t ignore the costs of
supplies and equipment
either. Keep in mind, the
more you use your sewing
machine, the more you get for
your investment.
