VALUE OF HOTCAPS PROVED
BY MELON PROJECT
By ROBERT SCHMIDT
About two months ago I com
mented in this column about the
use of hotcaps for the protection
of warm season crops such as cu
cumbers and melons planted before
the safe planting date for those
crops. Early in April one of my
State College classes in vegetable
crops planted watermelons at the
Horticultural Farm. Every other
hill was covered with a plastic
hotcap as soon as planted. At that
time it did not appear as though
we would have much contrast be
tween the protected And the unpro
tected .hills. The weather was warm
and the unprotected hills came up
almost as soon as those under
caps. However, during the past
two weeks the weather has been
cool—especially at night. We have
left the caps on for that reason.
As of today, the unprotected
plants have made little growth be
cause of the cool weather, while
the plants under the caps have
made nice growth and are much
larger. Also, the cucumber beet
les are beginning to attack the
unprotected plants. Whether or not
the early advantage of the pro
tected plants will continue
throughout the season will have to
be answered later.
For the benefit of the housewife
who likes to grow iris, I would
like to pass on the information
that bearded iris may be divided
and transplanted as soon as they
are through blooming. New, heal
thy rhizomes should be selected
and transplanted so that the top
of the rhizome is about level with
the surface of the soil. The foilage
may be clipped back about one
third to one-half. Iris should be
divided at least every three years.
A location with full sun is best.
HYDE. BEAUFORT LEAD
IN SWEET CORN FOR ’sl
Development of a successful me
thod for controlling the corn ear
worm has encouraged East Caro
lina farmers to increase their ac
reage of sweet corn.
Hyde, Beaufort, Chowan, Pas
quotank, Sampson, Currituck,
Camden and Columbus are among
the leading counties in sweet corn
production for 1951. These coun
ties are expected to produce more
than 2,000 acres.
In tests conducted last year by
the North Carolina Experiment
Station, corn was produced which
was 96 per ceht free of earworms.
The minimum standard for U.S.
fancy grade is 90 per cent.
Farmers who are successful in
earworm control, pick their corn
at the right stage of maturity, and
pre-cool it properly should expect
to find sweet corn a profitable crop
this year.
Several producers have installed
new equipment to help them put
top-quality corn on the market.
Some will use large spray ma
chines in treating their crop. Oth
ers are prepared to pre-cool their
product before shipping.
Immediate pre-cooling or icing is
necessary at harvesting to prevent
the sugar in the corn from turning
back to starch and making the
product unacceptable to consum
ers.
Since corn heats very quickly af
ter it is harvested, picking should
be done in early morning or at
night. The grower should get it to
the buyer or shipper as soon as
possible. The corn should be under
ice not more than four hours af
ter it is picked.
GRAIN STORAGE STRESSED
Farmers with enough storage
for their grain on their own places
will be relatively independent of
increasing transportation and com
mercial storage difficulties, says
T. A. Jennette, Chairman of the
Hyde County PMA Committee.
The chairman points out that
each year more and more of the
small grains of the country are
being harvested with combines. As
a result more and more grain must
be stored on the farm since trans
portation and commercial storage
cannot keep pace.
In the chairman’s words, “If a
farmer has storage on his own
farm there will be no question
about his having a place to put
his grain. If his grain is dry, he
will be able to get a price support
loan. In that way he will be able
to get money to pay current ex
penses and still be in a position
to hold his crop for future sate."
Farmers interested in construct
ing additional grain storage on'
their farms still can borrow up to
85 percent of the money needed
for that purpose through the'
County PMA Committee, the chair-

LIONS MEETING
Acting upon a proposal offered
by Earl Green, the Manteo Lions
Club Monday night agreed to turn
out on Wednesday evening to clean
up the vacant lot on County Street
between the Federated Stores and
Westcott’s Pool Room. The lot is
owned by Moncia Daniels, Sr., and
T. S. Meekins, Sr., who have
agreed to allow its use as an
off-street parking area to relieve
congested parking in downtown
Manteo. Mr. Green explained that
the parking situation would be im
mensely improved for shoppers if
those who work in downtown
stores would use the lot for park
ing their own autos.
There was lengthy discussion of
a suggestion by W. S. DeLoatche
that the club consider the possi
bility of sponsoring a “breakfast
flight” of planes from airfields
within a 300 mile radius, to arrive
at Manteo Airport on a specified
Sunday morning, as a means of
stimulating enthusiasm for visit
ing the area. Such flights are
popular in many parts of the coun
man explains. Information on such
loans can be obtained from county
PMA offices.
