Editorial Bryant Resignation Is Felt By County Richard H. Bryant for the past nine years has served in ore of the most important capacities in this county. The Agricultural Extension Agent has probably more contact with the 8,900 people of this area than anyone else. We have been highly for tunate that a man of Bryant's caliber chose to pur sue his career here. His resignation this week was accepted with great regret by the County Commis siooers. We submit, however, that the county should be more prepared for such an unfortunate event. We are just entering the growing season. Why, when everyone in this county depends on agriculture, wasn't someone being trained to assist Bryant? Should our farmers be left "holding the bag" when an important question arises concerning their crops or animals? We think not, and hope for their sakes, and ours, someone will be retained for this impor tant post as soon as possible. And perhaps a lesson in foresightedness has been learned. ASCS Announces Payments By THOMAS L.RIDDICK EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, COUNTY ASCS OFFICE CORN, SORGHUM PRODUCERS GET $12,460.92 ? Feed grain program deficiency payment checks totaling $12,460.92 have been issued to Perquimans County producers for their 1978 corn and sorghum crops. Farmers who participated in the 1978 pro gram are eligible to receive the payments. Based on a payment rate of 3 cents per bushel for corn and 33 cents per bushel for sorghum, deficien cy payments make up the difference between the target price and the higher of the loan rate for the Crop or the average price received by farmers. The 1978 target prices were $2.10 per bushel for corn and $2.28 per bushel for sorghum. The national average loan rates were $2 for corn and $1.90 for sorghum. These payments were computed by multiplying the established yield for the farm by the acreage planted for harvest times the payment rate. Farmers who participate in this year's set-aside program will be eligible for deficiency payments and other benefits on their 1979 crops. The sign-up period ends April 30. Producers who have not filed their intentions to participate are urged to do so as soon as possible. i LEASE AND TRANSFER OF PEANUT ALLOTMENTS AND QUOTAS - We are accepting applications to lease and transfer peanut allotments and quotas within the county.

Firstof all, here's what to plant this week: Cantalope, one-fourth ounce per person; try Classic,^ PMR 45, Burpee Hybrid, and Ambrosia. Some of the good pickling varieties for this area are: one-fourth packet per person of Pixie, Chipper, Galaxy. For slicing try one-fourth packet per person of Poinsett and Sweet Sice. They like to be planted near squash, corn, beans, peas, and sunflowers. Put some radishes in your cucumber hills to repel beetles. For tomatoes, try Venus, Saturn, Big Seven, Manapal, Marion, and Better Boy. The recommended amount of plants each year per person is 15, but that is - really for people who seriously can and freeze. You just don't need that many. ? * Plant some parsley and marigolds close to your tomatoes. Plant one-half ounce per person Congo, Sweet Princess, and Petite Small watermelons, if you have the room. Put in dill, but away from tomatoes; put garlic in : your rosebed, and basil close to tomatoes. Basil is in dispensable to tomato cookery, and I imagine Edna Wolverton will fill the Cook's Corner with some - valuable tomato recipes when the time comes. We are reveling in our asalea blooms. Excellent field grown varieties can be found in Perquimans County at Jack Burbage's,on 17 North. . With the heavy rains we have been experiencing^ it is essential to put down a mulch that will preven% dirt from splattering fences and house walls. While > pine needles are really excellent, try pine bark mulch for a change in texture on some permanen. beds. It will disintegrate, and when shoveled over will enrich the soil. But for one or two seasons iK will do a great job. Pine Bark Mulch may be obtain ed locally at Hertford Hardware. Beulah Williams (Mrs. Bill Williams of Belvidere) tells me of a rarity. Her philodendron has not only bloomed once but four times. She swears she doesn't do anything but water it. Come on, Beulah. Anyway, since most of us rarely if ever see one, a bloom can be most easily described as looking like a light green leaf rolled, up, possessing a large stamen.
