Weekly Goes Issue From To Offset vertisers, subscribers, and any one needing joo printing. This will Insure our continued sue- cess. For a good newspaper. It takes like everything else 'togetherness". . - Perquimans County needs it's own newspaper, as it now has, and to be owned by a native that has the county and it's people at heart. Should another paper come In, the paper will have only one thing In mind-not to keep the business In Perquimans County, but to pull It to the community from which the paper will come. And should a paper of this sort succeed, it would mean the loss of another Per quimans County business for the town' and county. Also, It would be striking a death blow to our established businesses we have In Perquimans. While The Perquimans Week ly is changing its printer, the hop is hereby expressed that the loyal support of the local merchants, and businesses, the enthusiasm of the county cor respondents and Interest of readers will continue. Without this support, no newspaper or business can exist. Lets keep our business here in Perquimans County. We are small, and In order for this paper to survive and also the business places established here, we must be united.

Fall Applied Nitrogen For Small Grain For many years the general recommendation has been to top dress small grain with nitrogen in February and March, This is still a good recommendation says R. M. Thompson County Extension Chairman, but re search has shown that nitrogen applied in the fall is as ef fective as spring applications on certain soils. Fall nitrogen applications are recommended on soils which have a silt loam or clay loam texture or which have a high organic matter con tent so that nitrogen can be held by the soil against leaching. March and April is the period in which small grains produce most of their growth. It Is also, the period in which plant requirements for nitrogen is the greatest, regardless of when it lsapinied. Thus, when nitr ogen is applied at seeding, less than half of lt has been absorbed by March. If the soil is subject to leaching, much of the fall ap plied nitrogen may be leached away before the plants have the opportunity to use lt. This is why It is necessary to have the "right kind of soil" If youareto realize the maximum benefits of fall applied nitrogen. There are a number of ad vantages in applying all of the nitrogen for small grains in the fall Fall application allows putting all of the fertilizer on at one time, thus extra trips across the field are eliminated. Fall application eliminates the need for spring topdressing when soils are often too wet to sup port machinery. Bad spring weather often postpones spring toparessings until lt is too late for the nitrogen to do the grain tne most good. Fall applied nit rogen Increases root and top growth and thus reduces plant losses due to "heaving" Nitrogen applications near seed ing time, or later In the fall. extend the season during which custom applications can be made. Regardless of when you apply the nitrogen it is Important to use enough nitrogen and other nutrients to produce a profit able crop reminds Mr. Thomp son, lhe best way to determine lime and nutrient needs is to have your soil tested. In most cases small grains will need additional nutrients even though they may follow a heavily fertilized crop such as tobacco. Have your soil tested now to determine lime and nutrient needs for your small grain and other crops. This is the first step toward high yields and greater profits. Soil sampling supplies are available at your county agricultural worker's of fice. Attend Reunion Mr. and Mrs. H. H.
