WASHINGTON REPORT
Developments during the past
.Wfiff show very clearly that emo
ttqH has overcome reason in the
dirt! rights . issue now before
ITS—. from time to
li P oh legislation of various
sorts, but in the case of civil
rifhtJ a very dangerous preced
ent was set in the Senate last
ThVjfsdav
|ly a close vote of 45 to 39, the
Sejafte decided to send the civil
riflits bill passed by the House
diffctly to the calendar. In oth
er wards, normal committee con
sideration was denied, and in the
process the many months of work
spent on the legislation by the
Senate Judiciary Committee was
thrown out the window.
In ordinary legislative proced
such a practice is unheard of and
is a very dangerous way of do
ing business concerning the mak
ing of laws of the land.
It was very obvious that Vice
President Nixon was playing the
rankest sort of politics when he
ruled to bypass committee con
sideration. And the vote backing
up the ruling was evidence
enough to show anyone that the,
Eisenhower Administration is
pulling out all stops to capture
the big-city vote in the hope of
winning control of Congress next
year.
The civil rights issue carries
enough controversy and emotion
AROUND THE FARMS IN CHOWAN
By C. W. OVERMAN, Chowan County Agent
Ten Chowan County sheep
grqwers marketed their wool
through the cooperative wool
pool held at Washington, N. C.
These ten growers marketed
1,866 pounds of wool for $1,071.58.
The average price received per
poupd was approximately 57.5
cents. In checking with growers
who sold their wool to husksters
or local markets they report the
jwerage price received was about
40 cents per pound. On this
basis, marketing cooperatively
n)esnt a difference of about 17
cents per pound or a total of
$317 .22 for these 10 growers.
In the cooperative pool the
wool was carefully graded by

itself without adding fuel to the
fire with out-and-out political ex
pediency.
With last week’s victory, thej
Administration will undoubtedly!
go to the big cities and brag
about what it has done for min
ority groups.
No doubt, the maneuver will;
get a lot of votes, but in the pro- j
cess a very serious blow has been,
dealt the traditional and proper |
system of committee functions in:
Congress. j
Senator Russell of Georgia put
it very well when he said the.
move to by-pass committee con
sideration and thereby speed up
the final vote on civil rights \
would create “legislative chaos”
in the future.
More important than this, the
bill that is now before the Senate
will bring about many problems
than it will solve. Instead of
bringing the 'races closer togeth-'
er, I am afraid it will pull them
further apart and intensify the
already strong ill feelings that ex
ist.
The big job facing us in the
South today is to find common
ground from which all races can,
work together and progress.
Every step in the other direc
tion, such as the civil rights bill,
will- only put off longer the day
we can restore the good race re
lations we once had.

sold on a graded basis. Chowan
growers had a veiy good grade
of wool this season, as 1,012
pounds of the total graded clear
and sold at 62.6 cents per pound.

no material damage resulted.
Weather Situation
On Tuesday afternoon of last
week a good rain fell in Center
Hill, Ryland and Gliden com- 1
munities and a smaller amount
around Cross Roads. We are |
thankful foe the rain which (
means so much to our farmers
in those communities. The rest
of the county is suffering from
severe drought. Much •of the
corn and many of the other
crops are suffering severely.
Cotton and peanuts are still
holding fairly well but these,
too, are feeling the effects of the
severe dry weather.
The cotton insect survey
shows that the boll weevil has
not let up for the hot dry
weather. Punctured squares
range from two to twenty-five
per cent, mostly fifteen to twen
ty-two per cent in the fields.
Many of these squares are ap
proaching the stage of dropping
off. This means that within
about 10 to 12 days young weev
ils will be emerging and will
start laying eggs for a second
crop. For all farmers, it is very
important that their dusting pro
gram be continued through July
20, in order to kill out this sec
ond crop of weevils.
Red spider was observed in
one cotton field. One per cent
parathion at the rate of 15 to
20 pounds per acre or two per
cent parathion at the rate of 10
to 12 pounds*per acre should do
a good job knocking out the red
spider when he appears. Cotton
growers should watch their
fields carefully for red spider
as well as boll weevile and oth
er insects and treat accordingly.
Peanut Disease Appears
One peanut field was found
infected with southern stem rot.
It will be appearing in other
fields, where the land is infect
ed, shortly. Terraclor is a chem
ical that can be mixed in the
land plaster and applied with
the land plaster. Demonstra
tions conducted with this ma
terial last year on infected fields
j resulted in an increase yield of
[215 pounds per acre on the av
jerage. Two demonstrations con-
I ducted in Bertie County gave
lan increase yield of around 350
j pounds per acre. In Chowan
I County one demonstration was
'conducted and we got an in-
J crease yield of 54 pounds per

The land plaster should be

plaster and applied at the rate
of 400 pounds per acre it
cost approximately sl2 per acre
more than regular land plaster.
I have recommended to several
growers to try it in their fields
which are heavily infested with
southern stem rot.

Entertains HD Club
On Tuesday night of last
week members of the Rocky
Hock Home Demonstration Club
were treated to a special pro
gram at their monthly meeting.
Two 4-H teams presented theii
demonstrations to the group in
preparation for their district
contest.
Kay Lowe and Georgia Skin
ner explained to the women con
trol measures to use in combat-
I ting clothes moths and carpet
beetles in their demonstration,
“Don’t Let Them Sneak In.”
Bonriie Lou Welch and Celia
Rae Elliott prepared three at
tractive and different milk
drinks to illustrate their demon
stration “Make Every Day a
Milk Festival.”
! Color slides and a discussion
emphasizing the usefulness and.
the advantages of a “Utility
Room” in the farm home high
lighted the demonstration con
ducted by the home agent, Miss
! Maidred Morris. It was pointed
out that the utility room should
be designed for convenience in
a well planned work area, thus
keeping household chores out of
the living area.
The women welcomed Mrs.
Drew Welch as a guest.
Stressing “June Is Dairy
Month,” the hostess, Mrs. Henry
Bunch, served a refreshing va
nilla ginger soda. To further
I emphasize dairy month, the home
| agent dressed each woman in a
' “fancy” red and white bib bear
-1 ing the slogan “June Is Dairy
1 Month.” •

TEXT: “Love one another, but
make' not a bond of love.”
—Kahlil Gibran.
The newly engaged couple were
repeating words of devotion to
each other.
“Do you love me, darling?”
asked the young lady.
“'bearly, sweetheart,” repeated
her fiance.
“Woulcf you die for me?” sh%
asked, expectantly.
“No, my pet”, said her intend
ed husband, “mine is an undying
love.”
It has been written that noth
ing is more faplish than trying
to be reasonable about love. But
ure his or her love against the
love is not unreasonable. We sim

from love and then blame love or
the lack of it ’ j
Over. 'and over again we hear
of someone marrying another to
“straighten them out.” That is
too much to expect of love. If
love is sufficient for “straighten
ing" someone, then the “straight
ening” will occur before marri
age, not after. Kahlil Gibran in
“The Prophet” terms that a fear
ful seeking of “only love’s peace
and love’s pleasure” and he warns
that it is too much to expect.
The Apostle Paul tells us what
love is and what it is not. Ev
ery lover would do well to meas

When the loves of two people
meet that standard, there need be
no fear of their futute together.

tute commented. “The 114 per
cent rise in amount paid hi the
decam is a reflection of the wid
ened and increased ownership of
life insurance, however, ahd not
an increase in mentality, as the
death rate among policyholders is
today considerably below that of
a decade ago. For the nation as
a whole, the ten-year rise in
death benefit payments has been
94 per cent, while the death rate
among policyholders is some 15%
less than 10 years ago.”
