He seeded his ditch banks and turn rows tu fescue to control erosion; (3) he installed drains at the edge of the grass to carry the water to a controlled structure made of tin to keep ditch from washing. Mr. Winsbw recently said, 'Tf it had not been for the seed ed ditch bank and field borders and structures for uater con trol, my ditches would have been completely filled with top soil". It has been observed that turn rows on fields this past week, that are not seeded to grass or have native grass growing, have very severe erosion problems. Gullies are beginning to start where water has nocontrolentertngditches or roadside ditches.

' Wet Peanuts And Nitrogen "During the past few days, many areas of the peanut belt have been lashed with heavy rains. If the pattern of the past is followed, thepeanuts in most of the poorly drained areas will turn yellow during the next two weeks. This will happen where water stands on the soil for any length of time or where the soil is fully saturated with water for severol rtavs", states R. M. Thompson, County Extension Chairman. During these periods, air is excluded from the root aone and the active nitrogen forming bac teria within the nodules will die,.' When this happens, it takes about 3 weeks even under favorable weather conditions for the bac teria in the soil to establish new nodules on the plants, A nitrogen shortage at this time of year when peanut plants are just beginning to enter their fast est period of vegetative growth . can be very critical. We are al ready late by 7-10 days and any further reduction In the normal, growth rate can be quite costly. "Where yellowing occurs or where It is expected, according -to Thompson, growera are ad vised to use 16-24 lbs. of nitro gen per acre as soon as possible.
