Checking his melon vines
■i

Jimmy Knight, the son of Mr. and Mrs.
H. B. Knight of route 1, Naples, examines
the growth of some melons on his father's
farm. The Knights have 15 acres of melons
this year and most of this acreage is plant-
ed to the Charleston Gray variety. County
Agent R. J. Dean reminded growers that
they need to examine their melon vines now
for anthracnose, a disease that does its worst
damage during periods of high rainfall and
has been found in many melon fields this
year. Texas A and M College recommends
spraying with Zineb to control anthracnose
and adding insecticide to the spray if insects
are damaging melons. The major crop at
the Knight farm is peanuts and they, have
106 acres growing well this year.
