Winter's Icy Finger Blights
Fall Truck In The Albemarle
Ko?y Hopesof Uif; I'rofili for (Jrimers in l'all I'cas and
iit-ans Turned Into Aslirs by Touch of Ural
Winter in Earlv November
Tiie first freeze of the autumn played havoc with the fall crops
of May peas and snap beans in this section, causing a loss of be
tween J$o00<>0 and $100,000 in the counties of Pasquotank, Cam
den and Currituck, according to local commission merchants,
farmers and seedsmen.
This loss, of course, is figur
ed on the basis of what the
crops would have brought
if sold at the prevailing high
prices, and not on the farmers'
actual investment of labor and
money.
The acreage this fall was unusu
ally large, the good prices of last
fall having encouraged the farmers
to plant heavily ?this season. The
yield was excellent and the first
pickings brought from six to ten
dollars a basket.
llut the first touch of winter came
just a few days too soon. This
fateful freeze that brought disas
trous results to the pea and bean
cro}?s came on Friday, November 9,
and had there been one more week
of weather without heavy killing
frost, commission men say, the bulk
of the peas and beans would have
been shipped and sold.
"The greater loss." says N. Ho
ward Smith, of the Carolina Potato
.Exchange, "came from the May pea
crop. Roughly I would estimate
that about one-twentieth of the yield
of?May?peas?JumJ been put on the,
market, while possibly twenty-five
per cent of the bean crop had been
.sold.
"However, that part of the snap
bean that was still in the field was
completely wiped out by the heavy
frost and freeze of November 0. The
May peas, on the other hand, in
some Instances, were left in good
enough shape to ship and the best of
these that had been frozen brought
around $4.00 to $6.00 a basket.
"We have planted May peas in the
fall for twenty years, I figure that
during this period we have made
about $16,000 and lost about $30,
600 "t- r
"Well do you propose to raise
May |>eas next fall?" Mr. Smith was
asked by The Advance reporter.
"Yes sir," he -answered promptly.
"We shall continue to raise them
in both spring and fall. I/helieve
the acreage next fall will be Just as
large as it is this year."
Dr. L. S. Hladcs of the Spence
Hollowell Company, however, is of
the opinion, that the fall acreage
will be cut down next year and he
believes that it should be. "Of
course." he said "a great nfany peo
ple will continue to plant because
the profit Is so great in a good year
that it offsets the losses for several
lxid years. I don't believe that
m.Qre than a third of the planters
this year made any money on their
crop. One disadvantage of the fall
May pea crop is that it is harvested
along with cotton and other fall
crops and its costs more to get them
on the market than it does in the
spring.
"Those who are fortunate enough
to have land facing a swamp on the
north or west will lind this land very
suiflible for fall peas as the swamp
will afford moisture that will keep
off frost to some degree."
A farmer who planted heavily In
Camden County this year and esti
mates his prospective loss on peas
and beans to be around ten thous
and dollars Rays that he expects to
plant p<'as next fall. "However," he
.says "farmers who go Into the rais
ing of May peas and snap beans in
the. fall should be prepared to lose.
Small farmers should limit their
plantings to such an acreage that
will not cramp them in case the crop
Is a complete loss.
"With a little more precaution
this season, -half of the May pea crop
that now lays waste could have been
sold and marketed at a fair prire.
For Instance, the average first kill
ing froHt on November 10. Five
clays earlier planting will likely
make a difference of 10 to 15 days
In maturing. Snap bean* for fall,
according to official statistics, for
1'itx section, should he planted be
tween August 20 and 25. Most of
? in were planted later than that.
Tliomas Laxon peas should be plant
