'.The Senior 4-H Club tour
ed the farm of Clarence
Chappell on Wednesday, af
ternoon. Two hours ; were
spent on the tour guided by
Clarence Chappell, Jr., and
Jiis wife, Annie Lou. .'.
The first stop was at the
modern ; dairy,. ' Here ' the
group: saw the milking pro
cess, cooling, and storage for
approximately. 600. gallons of.
Functions of various equip
ment and facilities- were ex
plained and f ma1 ny--questions
answered.- ' ,
, Mrs. JPaige Underwood, As
sociate Home Economics Ex
tension v Agent, " states .that
probably the facility which
amazed the group the most
was the cattle "sick room" or
hospital. Here the sick cat
tle are isolated from the oth
er cattle while they are be
ing treated. : An insulated
medicine room makes it con
venient for a veterinarian or
Chappell employee to care
for the cattle with proper
supplies and medicine. ; ; '
Pig parlors and farrowing
houses also impressed the
group. Realizing the excel
lent treatment these animals
receive, the Senior , 4-H'ers
decided that pigs and cows
don't live such . a bad life
after . all.
Mrs. Clarence - Chappell,
Jr., invited the club mem
bers to tour their remodeled
home. This part of the tour
combined homemaking ideas

Things Looking
Good To Agent
"Looking at the crops in
Perquimans County, things
really look good for this time
of year, but there are many
practices that should be con
tinued to be carried out, if
we are to get a real good
yield this fall," states R. M.
Thompson, County Extension
Chairman.
Cotton should be continued
to be ducted, as the boll
weevil is causing quite a bit
of damage and there are
signs of the boll worm and
lice. There are several in
secticides to use, such as
Methyl-Trithion plus DDT.
Sevin, Toxophene and DDT
or Methyl-Parathion. Vou
should continue this dusting
program until the boll wee
vil infestation is below '&!
and the lice and Red Spider
are brought under control. ,
There are some yellow
peanuts in the county, due
to wet weather, or for somo
other reason. Copper Sul
ohur and Sevin will help to
turn some of these peanuts
green and also control in
sects. Many people have
found out that plenty of dust
on peanuts, put on at regular
intervals up through Septem
ber has paid off, especially
where the peanuts are being
combined and cured in a bin.
In some cases, a little nitro
gen is necessary- (not over
30 lbs. to the acre) to get
the peanuts back green. This
is especially true where pea
nuts have bee. planted qi
the 'land for'severai years.
"Proper dusting at this
time of year pays off real
well at harvest time, and: if
you have not been following
a dusting program, I would
certainly suggest that, you
begin on a regular sched
ule," further states Mr,
Thompson.
