INCOME I
Careful estimates plus actual
figures discloses the 1961 total
sales of farm product in War
ren County to be $10,622,144.93.
This compares to the 1960
sales of $10,843,579.63; and
the 1959 sales oC $9,144,655.42.
In addition to the above
around $3,000,000 worth of
farm production is consumed
on the farms.
The size of the 1961 Income
surprised most everyone when
thinking in terms of July 1
prospects. As the old saying
goes, "Do not give up until the
final whistle". What we need
is more sources of income and
produce all crops and livestock
at less cost per unit The War
ren County Advisory Commit
tee feels that with several sug
gested new sources of income
and increased unit quality pro
duction will increase our farm
cash income about two million
dollars within five years. The
suggested new sources of in
come will be given publicity as
soon as the situation firms up.

NEMATODES
We keep talking about nema
todes, but why not? They are
our greatest crop enemy. Sev
eral days ago while traveling
by the farm of Mrs. L. R. Har
ris of the Macon community
the above picture was snapped
showing the proper way to
turn tobacco stubbles. This
method of turning stubbles and
following several weeks dry
ing, brush them out with a
dry smoothing harrow is the
best known cultural way to de
stroy a good percent of these
pests. Don't sharecrop with
these parasites, they will eat
your hide off and laugh at
your agony!

A delightful letter was re-(
celved this week from a lady,
reader in Ashe County. Her1,
enthusiasm for and knowledge',
of plant materials, and pro-'
cesses, is proof positive that'
when we-. ?ak of "the joy ofi
gardening", it is something i
very real to her.
Her chief interest right now
is the coleus, so here goes.
This plant Is one of the most
useful of all colored foliage
plants especially for bedding,
edging, massing, pots for patio
and terraces and indoor win
dow boxes. There are three
classes, their distinction being
based on the slxe of their
leaves.
Probably the most used is
the well-known small leaved
class of which there are num
erous named varieties which
are propagated from cuttings.
Next in foliage size would

Jones Williams. She had lived
in the Rocky Mount vicinity
for approximately 50 years and
was a member of the First
Methodist Church.

Tharrington of Battleboro; one
daughter, Mrs. W. V. Wahmann
of Montgomery, Ala.; one sis
ter, Mrs. George Wheless of
Rocky Mount; three brothers,
M. P. J. Williams of Rocky
Modnt, F. Graham Williams of
Atlanta, Ga., and Harry M.
Williams of Warrenton; two
half-sisters, Mrs. J. B. Williams
and Mrs. B. G. Tharrington of
Warrenton; four grandchildren,
and four great-grandchildren.

Mr. Stegall, 65, died at his
home in Macon on last Friday
morning. A former Vance Coun
ty resident, he had been mak
ing his home in Macon for the
past 20 years. Born September
11, 1897, in Vance County, he

In recent years, about one
hall the barley produced in
(ho Hnitpd States has gone
into livestock feeding; about
one-fOurth into exports. About
79 million bushels of douaaettc
barley, nearly one-fifth of the)
total use, is used for aait pre
come the brilliant Rainbow
class. The foliage .of this
type is medium in size and the
plants, while rather large and
vigorous, are quite free-branch
ing and bushy. It is easily
grown from seed which Is J
available not only in mixture
but In separate colors which
reproduce quite true to typej
Among these are: Red, Pink
and Scarlet Rainbow, Pastel,
Velvet and Golden Rainbow
and Candidnm.
The third class is known as
Giant Exhibition and is distin
guished by its extra large
leaves. It is taller growing and
does not branch as freely as
the Rainbow type, but when
well grown, leaves over a foot
across are not uncommon.
Of all the classes, probably
Rainbow is the more popular
because it can be used to bet
ter advantage due to the mod
erate size of foliage. You will
| also be pleased with the bril
liant colors. This type does
well in semi-shaded areas.
> Coleus may be grown as an.
annual from seed, or, as a pe- I
rennial if you are equipped to s
provide temperature require-! t
ments around 65-70 degress (2
during the winter. If used as|i
a perennial, cuttings may be;
made from stock plants and
easily rooted in clean coarse1
sand which should be kept i
moist, not too wet, at all times;.
Seed sown in early March j
should provide bedding plants!
about the middle of May. Thisj
is about the right seeding date;
for the mountains. In Eastern!
Carolina seed may be sown
about a month earlier.
Watch the plants closely for!
mealy bugs and remove them
by hand before they have a
chance to reproduce. If a heavy
