W. Reid, Area Horticulture Specialist. This tomato planting utilizes the wire and. string method which is so successfully us ed in the mountain coun ties. The quality of the to matoes from trellising is su perior to the staked toma to, for the reason that there is no abrasion of the fruit on the rough surface which would cause scarring of the exterior tomato flesh. The tomato rows are six feet wide. Plants are : set approximately twenty inch es apart and pruned to one main stalk, plus one sucker; or in effect,; two. , stalks per plant.' ' Another method would be to set plants 18 inches apart and prune to one main stem only. Some disadvantages of the trellis method are (1) an in crease in number of blossom-end rot fruit, (2) the necessity of continual spray or-dust covering for insect and disease control, (3) cul tivation between the rows. However, yields normally run very high, and a . very high quality product normal ly matures from this method of culture. This is a very intensive way . of producing high quality tomatoes and costs . are relatively high; however, the increased in come from the sale of the marketable fruit allows trel lis . tomatoes to be a very profitable operation when handled properly and mar keted as a quality product. Superintendent of Perqufc mans County Schools John T. Biggers, at the regular, meeting of the Perquimans County Board of Education last Tuesday night, present ed and explained the teach- , er allotment for 1965-66.
