Educational buildings or parsonages have been built this year at Newland, Mo yock, and at -:: Pasquotank. Over $65,000 has been spent on property and improve ments to existing property during the past year. Ministers of all the church es have emphasized an ex panded mission study pro gram, paying particular at tention to the' Biblical Book of Ephesians and Methodist Bishop Roy Short's book "One Witness in One World." These studies have been: un dertaken as a part of ' the current; four- year program of the Methodist Church. One feature of the annual report which is NOT popular with district Methodists is the ; observation that Robert L. Jerome, currently district superintendent of the Eliza beth . City District, will be leaving that post. Methodist policy limits) the service of a man as district . superin tendent to six years, at the end of which time he returns to the active service of a congregation. . Dr. : Jerome's service has been greatlyr ap preciated - by ministers i and laymen alike. In his report to the annual conference, Dr. Jerome says, ' "I am indebted have been privileged "to work and for 1 their fellowship, Kindness and' cooperation.4' I am indebted to numeroas laymen -.and Jay women ' who have shared pur 'dreams' and labors' arid have shared their hospitality with my wife and myself, as we have visited churches in : 12 counties.

EeporteA , i - Present general recom mendations for, sidedressing cotton with nitrogen are: "sidedress when cotton" is 4-6 weeks old to bring the total N to 100-120 lbs., per acre. Use the lower amount on the fine textured soils and when following leg umes." The recommenda tions based on soil testa call for; varying rates depending on the texture and organic matter content. The general recommenda tions and those based on soil tests include sufficient quan tities of plant nutrients for 114 to 2 bales of cotton per acre. . . : With increased interest in cotton production, with Dr. McCant's research on nitri gen leaching under tobacco, questions of nitrogen leach ing under cotton are asked frequently. Two pertinent points to consider in this re gard are: 1. Period of growth when cotton takes up most of the nitrogen. 2. Time of application of nitrogen. ..' The time of most rapid nitrogen uptake is during maximum boll development. In the case cf cotton planted about April 15 this period of greatest nitrogen uptake and boll development would be July 15 - August 15. This is about two weeks later than the period of maximum rate of nitrogen uptake by corn. Assuming that nitrogen sidedressing is applied May 15-30, there would be a "waiting" period that leach ing of nitrogen below the depth of root development would most markedly affect the subsequent development of the bolls. In view of information on nitrogen losses under tobacco on sandy soils, 'it is reason able to assume that similar conditions exist with cotton. In seasons of - rain-fall .re sulting in leaching of Initrq? gen xbsei;vaJtions,l lvei44 cated, that this has been a problem of considerable sig nificance - wUh cotton'.; 'y , We ' have ' ho specific , re sults of research on this con dition.
