It is estimated that there will be 1,400,000 acres harvested-for grain in the state this year. This is the smallest acreage on the books since the series was begun in 1866.

The craft car ried six and one-half tons of TV equipment, including a 24-foot retractable antenna, for showing its taped programs. It circles Montpelier, Ind., during the telecast Peenut Situation I The peanut producing areas of 'North Carolina have experienced i extremely heavy rains in the last two weeks. The total yol- ume of water is probably no i greater than experienced in past 'years, but in many areas up to four or five inches of rain have j been experienced within a mat I ter of a few hours. These typos of rains have a tendency to wash out the land plaster which has been applied to the peanut crop. Since land plaster is a high, sol uble material, excessive rains which we have experienced will cause the. land plaster to dis solve and run off or either leach out at least, leach away from the fruiting zone of the peanut plant. Consequently, when the pids begin forming, the calcium applied with land plaster is not present. The method of two ap plications of . land plaster has been generally recommended as an insurance against just such conditions which we have ex perienced with the heavy rains recently. If. one -application ' of land plaster was made prior to the rains, -it is a pretty safe bet that . tne plaster is gone and a second application should be ap plied in order that' adequate cal cium is present to make the crop. At least 400 pounds of plaster should be applied dur ing the last half of July, de pending on the age of the pea nuts. This is one of the best insurance features that can be done at the present time. It has been reported that Southern Stem Rot is showing up in some fields, too, which is earlier than normal. If Stem Rot has been observed in. past years on the farm, it would be highly advis able to check the peanut fields very carefully and if Stem Rot is showing up, it might be well to use terraclor in the second application of the land plaster to help control the Stem Rot organism. Terraclor has proven to. be ,quite effective in the con trol of Stem Rot, but due to its high cost one should be sure that the Stem Rot problem is present in his- field before de ciding to use terraclor. Farm ers not- sure that they have a Stem . Rot problem should con sult their County Agent" for technical advice. Any wilting plants observed in the field should be carefully in vestigated i as they could be suf fering . from , Stem Rot or Collar Rot. Terraclor; though effective on Stem-Rot, is not effective on Collar Rot. . f y' ' " " ' June Police Report Shows 12 Arrests Police Captain B. L.
