Soil Conservationist Helps Farmers With Drainage Problems Two Chowan Farmers Adopt Plan Mapped Out By Jordan R. C. Jordan, Chowan County Soil Conservationist, announces that a soil conservation farm plan Ms delivered recently to T. A. Good- for his farm in the Yeopim com munity. Mr. Goodman has set up in his conservation plan a series of changes which will be made succes sively and progressively over a period of five years. These changes will be installed for the improvement of both surface and internal drainage, for soil fertility improvement and for the con servation of wildlife resources. Changes to be used for drainage im provement include a rearrangement of farm fields, addition of a new sloped lead ditch, sloping of several tap ditches into broad, flat V-type ditches which will be crossed by his crop rows and tillage implements, and land-bedding operations. Mr. Good man is especially proud of the re arrangement of his fields which re duces the number of cultivated fields from 11 to four and gives him crop rows of much greater length. In or der to incorporate this reorganization of fields Mr. Goodman will first slope all tap ditches and then change direc tion of crop rows. As a companion measure he plans to bed his land to the center of the original cuts for four or five years to increase the flow of surface water along the crop rows which cross these beds. The sloped tap ditches which are also crossed by the crop rows will in turn convey the run-off water to the lead of outlet channels.

C., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1947. silt loams, soil* types which offer very sluggish internal drainage, Mr. Good man feels that improved drainage must come principally through better and faster surface run-olf. However, he expects to work at his drainage problem ffom both ends and not just the one. To enhance internal water movement and aeration, he plans to turn under several green manure crops. This practice will in turn in crease the supply of plant-food ele ments in the soil. Speaking of soil fertility, Mr. Goodman says that he will change from a two-year rotation of crops to, a three-rotation. He plans to utilize three of his fields in a three-year ro tation of corn, corn, peanuts. He will interplant corn with soybeans and follow his peanuts with Austrian win ter peas or rye and vetch for soil im provement. The fourth field will be planted to small grain and lespedeza and corn and soybeans for hog graz ing. On a woods border, Mr. Goodwin will plant a wildlife border strip. He will use for this purpose lespedeza Bicolor and lespedeza sericea. In these two crops he will provide both food and cover for his Bob white quail. Among other farmers planning to slope ditches this year is R. H. Hollo well of the Cross Roads community. Mr. Hollowell says that he will relo cate several of hia»ditches in his Bear Swamp tracts. He has observed that some of his present ditches lie in the highest parts of the field. His plan calls for eliminating these and put ting new ditches in the middle or low est places of the original cuts. He plans to use a grader for the ditch sloping operation. The Albemarle Soil Conservation District assisted these two farmers to set up their soil conservation farm plans. Others who wish to secure ! similar assistance in getting conserva tion plans on their farms should con tact R. C. Jordan, Chowan County Soil Conservationist, whose office is in the Citizens Bank Building in Eden ton. Applications for assistance may also be made through County Agent C. W. Overman.

We were giv ing him a chance to avoid a lot of ribbing and making it unneces ’■ sary for him and the boys to make up a lot of fish yarns, or having to go and buy some fish to take home to keep face with the folks. He states that we didn’t mention how he fished all day and caught nothing. And that re minds us of what Ernest Kehayes said the other day concerning the integrity of hunters and fisher men. We were led to believe that it was necessary to give careful consideration to any statements concerning the prowess of any particular hunter or rod and reel man. And to think of how we listened to some of the incredible tales told by honest and upright citizens—and told without the blinking of an eyelash. Someone asked us if Charlie Overman found his dog yet—the one they suggested might be flushing the birds that seem so numerous on l Pea Island Refuge. o One merchant stated that custom ers are beginning to really shop now, ' declaring that it isn’t as it was be -1 fore, where you just had to dish it out. Which reminds us of a cartoon, i copies of which may be had for the 1 asking (merchants only) reading as follows: It shows the head man ‘ talking to his sales people and say ing, “We are facing somewhat chang ed conditions, and I suggest that for the time being at least, we might all i work on the assumption that the cus tomer may possibly be right.” o Ralph Parrisn may be getting in some automatic time clocks for cut ting off window lights in stores. It’s a handy gadget. Both Quinn’s Fur niture Store and the Betty Shoppe have them installed. Edenton Fur ■ niture Company is ordering one, we . hear. The Betty Shoppe tells us that . keeping on the lights in the windows really helps to sell merchandise. Most shops don’t do so because of the 1 trouble it takes to come back to cut ‘ them off. But as one smart operator said: “Either we go out after busi i ness or we just dry up.” | j Have you ever noticed how nobody ! realizes how busy you are? i «< ' ' ITI " ' ' ' ' lin ■ * - ■> -*'. ■ * - V *••'•- ' • :. • Again it’s possible for us to say | WE SERVICE YOUR CAR AS YOU WANT IT SERVICED » f / • • • to merit your , friendship and goodwill! > . .

IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our dear son and brother, Robert Edward Berry, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Berry, who departed this life one year ago, Feb ruary 8, 1946: I cannot say—and I will not say— That he is dead—he is just away— With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand He has wandered into an unknown land. And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since he lingers there, And you—O you—who the wildest yearn For the old-time step and the glad return. Think of him faring on —as dear In the love of There, as the love of Here Think of him still as the same, I say He is not dead—he is just away. —Mother, Daddy and Family.
