Town Council Calls
Extension Election
Continued From Page 1, Section 1
Board of Elections is requested to
call for it. Only qualified voters
living in the area to be annexed
may vote on tile issue. However,
Town Council has the authority to
call for a city-wide election to de
cide the matter. ,
A delegation interested in the
election attended the Town Council
meeting, but only one objection was
raised and that had to do with the
transportation of school children.
At present children are picked up
and returned home by buses in the
county school unit and some con
cern has developed that if the area
is included in the city limits, no
transportation will he provided
1 over the hazardous route the chil
dren must use to go and return
from school.
Mayor Ernest Kehayes arid the
other Councilmen, however, were
strongly of the oninion that ar
rangements can be worked out for
school transportation. It was
pointed out that the children would
be obliged to walk along Route 17
and with the amount of traVel on
this highway plus the fact that
there a rip no sidewalks would make
it very dangerous for the children
to make their way to and from
school. As to distance, it was al
so pointed out that it was no fur
ther from Westover Heights to
school than it is from Albemarle
Court and other points in Edenton.
At the request of the Hoard of
Zoning Adjustment, Town Council
also ealled a public hearing to enn
. aider making a change in the zon
ing classification on West Eden
Street. This area is now classified
RA-7, strictly a residential area,
and the request is to change it to
RA-5, which will allow the erec
tion of a doctor’s office or clinic
on the property owned hy Mrs. S.
W. Taylor, reeehtly purchased hy

i County Agent Says
’56 Bountiful Year

Continued From Page 1, Section l
are we small farmers going to
make it? Is Washington and the
powers that be trying to squeeze
us little farmers out of the pic
ture? It looks rough, doesn’t it?’
“Well, this ‘young fellow’ had
some logical thinking. We don’t
think anybody is trying to push
anylxidy anywhere, hut it appears
to be the result. There is just as
much room in agriculture for the
smaller farmer today as there over
was providing he uses his head, his
labor, his land and other facilities
to the best advantage. The m::n
who doesn’t use his head to the
best advantage for planning and
carrying on his farming opera
tion is sliding off on the sideline
I am afraid. There are many
things that farmers can do light
now to help make 1957 a good year.
“Take a soil sample of every
field on the farm arid have it test
-1 cd. Containers are available at the
i county agents’ office free for the
asking. Make a man of the farm,
if you don’t have one, numbering
leach field so that vou ran identify
your reports respectively. During
the old year approximately 8 pm
cent of the farmers in Chowan
County had soil tests for one of
more fields. I realize that a
farmer who has been living on bl
own land perhaps knows more
about his soil than anyone else, yet
a soil test costs only a few cents
postage and may save several dol-
lars in fertilizer and make many
more in better yields.
“Selling corn through hogs pays
additional profits as compared with
selling the corn as grain. Pros
pects for hog prices look very good
for the next one to two years at
least. Swine is one of the best en
terprises for us in balanced farm
ing in Chowan County, and should
be a part of the farm program on
practically every farm.
“Prepare tobacco beds and treat
for weed and disease cont’rol if de
sired. Decide on what varieties of
tobacco you will use this year and
get your seed early, so that you
will have them.
“Adapted corn hybrids pay good
dividends, decide which ones you
want an yet your see early.
“Timber is one of the finest
crops in Chowan County, yet. is one
of the most neglccte. A little at
tention and work on the owners’
part ran help make the farm wood
land its maximum. It. isj
a mighty good project to bring the
youngsters in on, Contact the I
county agents’ office if you are in-1
teres ted in sonic help.
“These are just a few suggest-1
ions to help make the new year a ]
profitable one. Other timely sag-,
gestions will follow.”
