VALUE OF HOTCAPS PROVED
BY MELON PROJECT
By ROBERT SCHMIDT

About two months ago COM
mented in this column about the
use of hotcaps for the protection
of warm season crops such as GU
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, l 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 foliage
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 81

Development of a successful me-
thod for controlling the corn ear
worm has encouraged East Caro-
lima farmers to increase their &C.
reage of sweet corn.
Hyde, Beaufort, Chowan, Pas
quotank, Sampson, Currituck,
Camden and Columbus are among
the leading counties in sweet corn
production for 1851. These coun-
ties are expected to produce more
than 1000 acres.
In tests conducted last year by
the North Carolina Experiment
Station, corn was produced which
was 90 per cent free of earworms.
The minimum standard for us.
fancy grade is 80 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
chimes in treating their crop. 9th
ers are prepared to pre-cool their
product before shipping.
Immediate preceding 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.

LIONS MEETING

Acting upon 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 Monica Daniels, Sr., and
T. S. Meekins, ST., who have
agreed to allow it's use as an
off-street parking area to relieve
congested parking in downtown
Manteo. Mr.. Green explained that
the parking situation would be i'm
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
suggestion by w. S. DeLoatche
that the club consider the posi-
bility of sponsoring a breakfast
flight" of planes from airfelds
within a 800 mile radius, to arrive
at Manteo Airport on a specified
Sunday morning, as a means of
stimulating enthusiasm for visit
ing the area. Such fights are
popular in many parts Of the coun-

trophies and awards that he has

to give away items from his still

Meddaugh bought his first gun

since fired more than $4,000
rounds of ammunition.
The 51-year-old marksman set
his record on a national match
course. The U. S. Revolver Asso-
citation during 1850 inspected and
certified targets received from
more than 1000 persons from all

to determine that Meddaugh's
score was a new world record.
AS his reward for establishing
the new record, Meddaugh, an
employee at the International

here, will receive an engraved
certificate, trophies, medals and
other awards.
Meddaugh has fired in more
than 25 matches since 1889. In
the pas II years he has won
many tro rhies, certificates and
