Turkey Raising
Cutting Feed Ousts b
Pointed Out us Yery
f. Important
Cutting feed costs in turkey pro
duction is jußt as important as cut- J
ting- feed costs for any type of
livestock, says C. W. Overman,
Chowan County Agent. Grain sorg
hum .has been proven to be a means
toward cutting feed costs.
Cutting feed costs with grain
sorghum is nothing new to many
North Carolina. turkey growers,”
says W. C. Mills, Extension turkey
specialist. “Some growers claim
savings of up to four cents per
pound. At any rate of saving, we
f kpow that it is a good cheap feed.
ManjJ are double cropping milo
with <emall grain and getting good
resutjbs. For this area, now is the
time-to prepare land and seed milo.
Wheatland .and Martin Combine are
good varieties which are low grow
ing. Fertilize the soil as you would
' for com and side-dress with sixty
pounds of actual nitrogen when the
plants are about twelve inches
high? Plant in thirty to thirty
six inch rows, wide if your equip
ment necessitates. Cultivate shal
low and don’t hill, just give a last
cultivation.
“When milo heads are about
ripe,-begin ranging turkeys on it.
Fence off a small area which the
turkeys will eat in about four to
seven days. Move the roosting
racks, waterers and feeders to the
next'area and thus continue until
the seld is completely eaten.
Thfere are many hazards in tur
key raising. The lack of sufficient
ventilation and poor sanitation are
two ..most generally encountered
and most of these can be prevent
ed. Keep your house well ventilat
ed but not drafty. Never let the
house get stuffy and damp. Good
sanitation practices prevent disease
and unhealthy birds. If and when
disease does occur, have the trou
ble diagnosed by a competent per
son and follow recommended treat
ment,”

the meeting, preferring to think
over‘the matter until the regular
Council meeting Tuesday night of
this week.
At. Monday’s- Commissioners’
meeting it was pointed out that
mapping Edenton would be of most
benefit to the town than the coun
ty and while no definite statement
was made, the impression was left
that -the town should share in the
expense to the extent of the cost
of mapping Edenton.
The revaluation concern expects
to begin work about June 1 and it
is hoped the entire job will be com
pleted by February 1, 1957.
Thp county will pay $12,000 dur
ing 1956, payable in installments on
or about the 10th of each month. -
The amount of cash monthly pay
ment is to be based on the amount
of work completed as set forth in
the | progress report submitted
monthly by the company. The sum
of $7,100 will be paid prior to June
30, 1957 and the final amount of
$7,500 will be paid prior to De
cember 15, 1957. The company
agrees to give a performance bond

Expressways Call far
New Set of Driving Rules
By Mary Lou Chapman
The new superhighways require a different kind of driving.
These roads lie straight and smooth across much of our country
today, allowing us to breeze through a city instead of creeping
along on main streets. Expressways save time and car expense.
They’re more comfortable and they should be safer, too.
Yet the very advantages of these super drteries bring special
problems. The biggest is the danger of really serious accidents.
It’s true that accidents are fewer
op expressways than on ordinary
streets, but when an accident
does occur, it’s usually a big one.

Miss Chapman travel.
The following driving tech
niques will help you take advan
tage of fast, convenient express
ways—with safety.
Getting on F.xpressway
Before turning into an ex
pressway approach, wait for an
opening in traffic. Keep far right
until you catch up to the average
sp6ed of the rest of the traffic.
Slow Down and look. Remem
{ ber, the traffic already on the
road is moving fast. Because of
I divided traffic streams, you can
I never go north on a southbound
lane. It’s not only illegal—it’s
suicidal. If you make a mistake,
you must proceed with traffic
until the next interchange. Never
attempt to cross the center strip.
That’s asking for trouble.
Driving the “Straightway”
Pick your lane, and stay with
it. Leave plenty of room between
you and the car ahead. Follow

Ham, Egg and Corn I
Show Very Successful'
The veteran ham, egg and corn
show held at the Colored High
School last Friday afternoon prov
ed to lie a great success. An inter
esting program was given in con
nection with the show featuring
talks by Samuel Coston, William
Newby, Prof. D. F. Walker and
Prof. J. W. Warren, Jr., assistant
State Supervisor of the V.F.T. pro
gram.
In his talk Samuel Coston, & ten
yestrtvetetan, gave an account of
some of his farming experiences,
especially during the past two or
three years. Hurricane Hazel and
bad seasons almost got him down,
but he still has faith in farming
and plans to continue.
William Newby, a one-year vet
eran, told how he had tried working
ip other non-farming occupations
but found his greatest pleasure
and a greater profit from farming.
In his remarks Prof. Walker
congratulated the men who took
part in the show and urged them
to strive to make it bigger and bet
ter next year and in the years to
come.
Prof. Warren awarded the prizes
and congratulated the men for the
efforts they put forth in making
the show 7 a success. The prizes
were: Ist., $4.00; 2nd., $3.60; 3rd.,
$2.00; 4th., $1.00; and grand cham
pion in each area $5.00. The win
ners were:
William Newby, Ham, Ist and
grand champion.
Frank White, Ham, 2nd.

you stop abruptly. Signal to
alert others before you puss or
change lanes. At high speeds
everyone needs to be aware of
the other fellow's intentions. Use
turn lights or hand ’signals or
both. t
Drive smoothly at a steady
speed. Give the man befiind you .
a chance to follow smoothly or
pass safely. Don’t dawdle on an
expressway. If traffic is moving
at 40, maintain a minimum of 30
m.p.h. Keep right if you want to
go slower than average.
Keep alert. Watch for signs
noting changes in speed limits.
A 40-mile zone on a 60-mile high
way signals a danger area. Drop
your speed promptly and stay
alert for the hazard.
Getting Off Expressway
Keep watching for advance ,
signs of your turn-off street.'
Move over to the correct lane,
decrease speed and signal your
intention to turn off as soon as
you slow down. Drive slowly,
and stop if necessary, before you
enter traffic on the cross high
way. And remember you’re
now back in slow driving terri
tory, with side-streets, traffic
lights and pedestrians.
