. What is a nematode T How much,
v tlo you, as a farmer, know about
f" nematodes T You may feel that youi
do not need to know anything'
about them.
The damage done by nematodes
is measured in the billions of dol
lars over the years. For this rea
son, we need to know aom thing
Bibout them. Here, in Madison, they
have 'done tremendous damage to
tomato and tolmcco crop.
We must use a magnifier or
microscope to see nematodes, be-
and nearly transparent. A nema
tode is a small eel-like animal
resembling an earthworm. Most of
them are 1, 50 to 14 inches in,
length. For example, about 8,000
lesion nematodes could1 be on your
thumbnail without overlapping.
A nematode moves by levering
its body up and down, swimming
in soil or surface water like an eel.
When they move, they closely re
semble a snake gliding across sand.
Those nematodes which feed on
plants have mouths equipped with
a small needle-like structure called
a stylet. They feed on a plant by
puncturing the skin of a plant
root and siuicking out the cell con
tents.
Most plants nematodes live in
the soil, but some live within the
root. This could be compared to
damage done by a tapeworm feed
ing inside a chic-ken or an animal.
It saps the vitality of the plant'
or animal.
Nematodes cause dead, discol
ored, and deformed areas on the
roots. Plants, under attack, losa
vigor and become unthrifty. The
size and quality of fruits and veg
etables or tobacco is reduced. They
may even cause death of the)
plant.
When they puncture the roots of a
plant, they open the door for dis
ease infections to enter. Even
resistant varieties will sometimes
come down with a disease in the
presence of nematodes.
You may ask how anything as,
small as a nematode could cause
this much damage. One gnat would
not bother you much, but a whole
swarm would. This is the case with
the nematode. In the presence of
a susceptible crop, ttey can build
up fast. One female root knot nem
atode can lay 600 eggs at one tune.
These can batch, mature, and be
laying eggs within thirty days.
You can see what happens when
each of these 55 lay 500 eggs. In
ninety days, under proper condi
tions, there could be 125 million
aldult nematodes from this one
female.
This is the reason why it is so
important to rotate crops and to
destroy the stubble of old crop.
This helps to prevent the build-up
in number. When tobacco roots are
plowed out and left on bop of the
ground, they will dry out and the
nematodes will die.
Nematodes can be broght into an
area on the roots of transplants,
if they come from areas whew
plant beds are not fumigated.
If you suspect nematodes, you
can send a soil sample to Ra
leigh for an exact count. They
will tell you how many nematodes
there are per pint of soil and what
kind they are.
I have seen reports on fields
in this county which showed as
many as 73,000 root knot nema
todes per pint of soil. This many
nematodes can just about destroy
a crop of tobacco or tomatoes.
It would be very foolish to grow
a crop in such a field without first
treating it for nematodes. Con
tact your local Agricultural Ex
tension office for information on
baking nematode soil samples and
on treating fields for nematodes.

Mar Hill - Marshall -
Mars HUI .High School rallied
with three second half touchdowns
and went on to whip Marshall, 25
12, on the Island here Friday night
in a rain before 800 Homecoming
football fans.
The loss was Marshall's eighth
of the season while the Mars Hill
Wildcats now have a 5-8 season's
record.
- Bob Holcombe capped a 74-yard
drive with a four-yard run to give
the visitors an early lead, but
with 1:30 left in the first half,
Marshall scored two quick touch
downs to take a 12-6 haiftime
lead.
Capping a 55-yard march Joey
Nix grabbed a pass from James
Haynie for the final 26 yards.
Mars Hill fumbled on the first
play from scrimmage following
the kickoff and Terry Bryan re
covered for Marshall on the nine
yard line. One play later Haynie
hit Calvin Rhinehart for a touch
down pass and the Tornadoes led.
Needless to say, Marshall fans
and players alike had a glorious
feeling as the players left the field
at haltime with a 12-6 lead.
The sudden touchdowns in the
waning minute and a half of the
first half, however, didn't ruffle
the Wildcats as they came back
in the third quarter for a touch
down and all-important extra
point and added two more touch
downs in the final periodi to ice
the game for the Wildcats.
Holcombe, scoring his second
touchdown of the game, on a one
yard run, tied the game for Mars
Hill in the second half and then;
ran the PAT to give the visitors
a permanent lead.
David Thomas, on a 25-yard run,
and Harry Dillingham, on a one-
yard scamper, tallied Mars Hill's
fourth quarter touchdowns.
