This tour begins at 9:30 A. M. at the Agricultural Building in Hertford and will stop at War ner Madre's to look at fescue and Ladino clover planted in small grain and also observe a fish pond. From Mr. Madre's the next stop is Carl Harrell's on the Harvey Point road, where soil bank land was ' planted in pine tree seedlings and the next stop will be Tim Brinn's farm to i see Bahia grass which is used for stiff land and if properly fertilized will give excellent grazing. Next will be a trip around the Burnt Mill Creek watershed, project, which is quite' a large drainage project being conducted by Perquimans and Chowan farmers. Dr. Brinn's farm, at the edge of Bear Swamp, will be the .next stop on the tour where corn was pre- emerged, sprayed swith Simazine, never -, cultivated and sprayed with 2-4D. ; From Dr. Brinn s the next stop, will be preston Nixon's where a ' peanut .variety demonstration is being conduct ed Jlysn a dutch lunchyand after lunch to Ray Morsel- to se the state official corn variety dem I onstra Hon. From Ray Morse's to Floyd Matthews to see an all practice peanut demonstration and from there to Fenton Eure's to see grain bin installation and next to Mrs. Nixon's to see woods that were' thinned five years ago for pulp wood. Af ter that we go on to Savage Jolliff'S in Whiteston to see a soybean variety demonstration and then to Herbert Williams' to see the state official milo dem onstration behind oats. As you can see, this tour is well filled 'and the stops will not be too long, but should be interesting as we believe it is a well-rounded educational tour. Keep the date" of Tuesday, Aug; ust 30, in mind and we will leave from the Hertford Agri cultural Building at 9:30 A. M., States R. M.
