' Gl'Ct Tfcr.3 'By ROBERT SCHMIDT Jackson Named Head -Chowan College Union , Colon Jackson of .Hertford was re elected president of the Chowan Col lege Baptist Student Union Executive Committee for the coming school year. The BSU Council has general over sight of the college religious life. This council brtags together the leaders of .the different phases of, reliriou life on the' 'campus hi order to plan and direct and stimulate the various activities. The aim of the SU is to interest the students on the campus in striving to five up to the ideals set by IDaring the past year in which Colon has been president of the BSU, the or ganization has made many important achievements. Among the more im portant accomplishments 'have been sponsoring .Religious Emphasis Week, establishingof community missions fund, opening of a council room, at tending BSU conventions, and holding mi a-wee services. ' .Most of our first plantings of gar den crops have been made and if you made the same mistake that 1 did you have, had to replant -your lima beans and some of your snap beans. The recent cold rainy weather rotted the seed in the ground. Don't blame the seedsmen for that From now on it will be a battle with weeds, insects, diseases, and dry weather. Everyone knows how to take care of weeds. A sharp hoe, a good garden , cultivator perhaps a garden tractor with all attachments and a will to work will keep weeds down. . Chemical .herbicides are still too uncertain to be depended upon. ' A : straw mulch put down around your tomato plants will keep weeds in check as well as conserve moisture. We recommend mulching tomatoes and also, staking them. They should be trained to stakes by tying with soft twine. . Pinch out all side shoots and allow only one or two stems to de velop. This method will give you bet ter quality tomatoes under our cli matic conditions. A lot has been said about spraying tomatoes with har-1 mones to get a better set of fruit, Spraying the first two or three clus ters of blooms with' a harmone such as fSureset" or "Fruitone" will give larger yields on those clusters. Some times the fruits are seedless. However, there has been no advantage gained by spraying more than the first two or three clusters. . Use the harmones strictly according to directions on the package. insects and disease must be con trolled in order to- have high quality vegetables, Write to the Agricultural Editor, State College Station, Raleigh for bulletins giving specific controls for insect pests, or ask your county agent for information. , . . To control pests, you must know what insect or disease you ar.e try ing to combat; you must know what materials to use as a spray to con trol that particular pest and how and where to apply it; you must apply the spray at the proper time; and you must do a thorough job of spraying.

The fact is that engine "improvements" happen every year ; but a basically new motor car engine la a very rare thing. And FirePower is : ' the most basic new development since Chrys ., ler introduced high-Compression in 19241 . To get to the heart of the matter, just go to the heart of the engine . . . the combustion chamber where the spark fires gas into power. Here Chrysler brings you something , no car has had till now . a Hemispherical combus tion chamber . . . the only perfect and ideal 1 combuUoa chamber in any passenger car. -- Her C.3 tzsne asount of gasoline delivers you far more energy than it could in any other ?nr. What this means to the man at Firepower's wheel is impossible to tell you till you take that wheel yourself. FirePowers 180 horse power can outperform any other engine on the road, even on regular grade gas. Remember, too, that Chrysler now offers the wondrous road-ease, of new Onflow shock absorbers with twice the shock-absorbing power of any others . . . and the exclusive safety and delight of Hydraguide power sreer mj which takes four-fifths of the work out of steering!
