Young and David Bodenheimer The Norman Pigeon pea is a summer annual legume adapted to the poorer soils of North Carolina. It is suggested as a replacement green manure crop for the banned crotalaria. The plants emerge quickly, grow fast, are more resistant to nematodes and the seeds are non ? toxic. It reaches a height of from four to seven feet and on a dry matter basis producers three to five tons of top growth per acre. It has produced 25% more dry matter than crotalaria and 42% more than hairy indigo. It flowers in late August and seed production it low in North Carolina due to lateness of flowerihg. Seedlings respond to 100 - 200 pounds per acre of an 0 - 20 ? 20 fertilizer. Seeding should be done in April but can be seeded until June. Forty or fifty lbs. of seed should be broadcast or 25 lbs. in the grain drill. Seed will be available for farmer use in 1972. Two new tomato varieties have been released by the N.C. Agricultural Experiment Station. The introduction of Venua and Saturn represents a break through in tomato breeding in that they are the first tomato varieties available that combines desirable horticultural characteristics with resistance to southern bacterial wilt. They also exhibit a usable level of field resistance to bacterial canker. Seed of these varieties will be available to growers in early 1973. During 1970 studies were conducted at three locations to evaluate the effects of reducing the number of harvests in flue cured tobacco production. They showed that reducing the number of harvests from five to three did not result in a significant decrease in yield per acre. Prices received were about the same. These studies showed that you can reduce the harvesting labor requirements about IS ? 18 hours per acre. With a wage rate of SI .50 per hour, this will give a net savings of from S22 to $27 per acre or approximately Si.00 to S1.2S per 100 lbs. of tobacco. This is another managment practice that will probably be introduced in tobacco production. news note* from QUEWHIFFLE By MRS.
