jAROUND THE FARMS
m CHOWAN COUNTY
By C. W. OVERMAN. Chowan County Agent
* _
Pock Spoilage: Several farm
families in Chowan County have
reported spoilage of the pork
they put up for home use. In
every case it appears that the
salt did not penetrate the meat
affecting a cure.
The information given me by
the people I have talked with
causes me to come to the fol
lowing conclusion. The hogs
were butchered during freezing
weather or freezing weather im
mediately followed the hog kill
ing. I believe that practically
every case is an instance of fro
zen meat, however, I hope to
pursue the trouble further and
try to make a definite deter
mination through the coopera
tion of our Extension Meat Spe
cialist.
Meat will freeze after being
salted if the temperature drops
low enough and remains so for
a period of time such as we had
in late January and February.
The freezing process prohibits
salt to penetrate the meet even
after it thaws out. The meat
remains fresh and does not spoil
until the temperature rises suf
ficiently to cause the bacteria
and enzymes in the meat to start
working. Then a souring and
gradual spoilage takes place.
Very little of the meat I have
looked at is actually spoiled, in
my opinion, but has reached the
souring stage to a small or large
degree.
Sled Rows In Tobacco: Re
cently information received from
the ASC Office shows that to
bacco sled rows in the tobacco
field may be deducted from the
acreage, provided the sled row
is at least one normal row in
width and there is not more
than one sled row for each four
normal rows of tobacco. Do not
plant any crop in the sled row;
if you do, it will be counted as
a row of tobacco. In other
words, the sled rows must be
left free of any crop.
Farm and Home Safely: Since
the weather has opened up we
are in a terrific hurry to catch
up with land preparation. Of
tentimes when we hurry we be
come careless. When we become
careless and negligent, accidents
happen. Why not start now
practicing rules of safety for
profit. This means profit in
time, in expense and in staying

health y.
Children, particularly boys,
like to ride on the tractor with
dad and older brothers. While
this makes the youngsters hap
py, it is also very hazardous.
You feel sure that you are
watching the youngster, maybe
holding on to him and just know
that he won’t fall off, but some
thing happens and both hands
have to ,go to machine opera
tion and an accident happens.
Let’s keep our youngsters hap
py by keeping them well and
uninjured rather than trying to
make them happy by taking
chances.
Careless placement of medi
cines and other chemicals caus
es the death of thousands of
children each year. Children
don't know the difference be
tween candy and pills, so down
go the pills. This happened in
the case of a two-year-old
youngster last fall. The ex
pense of a trip to the hospital,
a stomach pump and nearly
scared to death the parents, still
they were fortunate, the pills
were not too dangerous and per
haps the child had only eaten
one or two.
Up-turned nails in boards,
strands of bailing wire lying
around and a thousand and one
ether hazards that we might
mention, at least some of them
are lying around most farms.
They are just accidents waiting
to happen. A good clean-up pro
gram followed by a keep clean
up program is a great safety
measure for the family and is
excellent training for the young
sters if they are encouraged to
help.
Let’s start this crop year safe
ly. Let’s keep this crop year
safe by practicing safety meas
ures. Doing this, we will har
vest a crop of good health next
fall as well as a profitable crop
of our enterprises.

DON'T FORGET TO SHOW THANKS
*
' It’s one thing to ask Cod to
help you out of a tight spot.
It’s quite another to remember
to thank Him for His help.
We should never forget to
express our thanks when God
gives His assistance —whether it
be financial, spiritual, material
or physical.
Once during World War 11,
when fighting was raging in
northern France, the minister
of a small church in a coastal
village noticed that a little boy
kept coming in to pray at the
same time each day. He came
day after day for two entire
weeks. He would quietly enter
the church, kneel before the
altar and look toward heaven.
Then, after a few moments on
his knees, he would rise and
for a few seconds gaze at a
large portrait of Jesus. He
would then silently tiptoe out.
1 The minister could withhold
bis curiosity no longer. One
day he interrupted the boy’s
prayers. "Son,” he said kindly,
"do you need help? May I help
you?”
f “Sir, I’ve already been helped,
thank you,” the boy said* turn
ing his tear-stained face to the
Frankly Speaking

First of all, thanks to Post
master Chestnutt and the Amer
ican Legion for making us feel
welcome last Friday during the
Go-Getters’ get-together. A de
licious meal was served and my
thanks to Jack Evans, who did
so much in getting the show to
gether. The show was one of
the beat I’ve had the pleasure
of m. c.’ing, and the Legion
naires, who came from all over
the Tar Heel State, really en- j
joyed the talent which included
Jack, Britton Byrum and his
wonderful son Al, Sammy By
run}, Mary Alice Perry, Esther
Layton, Becky Harrell, Loretta
Bunch, Cecelia Willoughby and
Sammy Morris. Ever notice the
truck from our town, with the 1
name of Edenton spelled with;
two n’s: WCDJ’s engineer of the'
minister. "You see, I’m here to
thank the One who helped me
.. . that’s Him there ... Jesus.
I don’t want to forget to thank
Him for answering my prayer.”
"What was your prayer,
Son?” asked the preacher.
"That Jesus would bring my
daddy back to me safe and
sound. And He did!’’
The boy who took time
every day to ask God to bring
his daddy back did not forget
to thank God when his prayer
was answered.
Are we as thoughtful? Do
we forget to give God thanks
for the things He does for us?
Here is a lesson for each of
us. We must never take God for
granted. We must always thank
God for His many blessings.
If we are thankful, it will be
shown in thankfulness. The boy
showed that he appreciated the
Giver more than the gift! He
expressed his thanks.
When we express our thanks
to God for His goodness, we
give God the praise that is
rightfully His.
Don’t take God for granted.
Don’t forget to express your
thanks for God’s favors.
past four years, Tony Ostapoff,
is now with a station in Char
lotte. He’s sorely missed, not
just for his talents in engineer
ing, but for the kind of person
he was . . . thoughtful, intelli
gent, and just great company.
His many friends will miss him.
Welcome, sweet springtime. A
sure sign of spring are the kites
stuck in the phone lines around J
town. The Federal Trade Com
mission has ordered Colgate to
stop advertising their toothpaste
as a complete protection against
tooth decay. Reminded me of
the story of the fellow who asks:
“Why the toothbrush in your
lapel?” Answer: “it’s my class
pin. I go to Colgate.”
Movie Notes: Cary Grant was
at his best in the wonderful
movie, “The Grass Is Greener”;
tonight’s picture at the Taylor,
“Sons And Lovers”, is up for
7 Academy Award nominations;
Jimmy Rodgers’ movie, “Little
Shepherd of Kingdom Come,”
was originally produced in 1928
and Richard Rarthelmess starred
in that silent screen version;
Henry Mor.gan of “I’ve Got A
Secret,” played his first straight
role as a fighting DA in ‘‘Mur
der, Inc.”; Brian Donlevy spent
four years in Annapolis before
becoming a star; speaking of the
Navy, Jack Lemmon has played
a naval officer in "Mr. Roberts,”
and in “Wackiest Ship in the
Army,” He wore the same hat
in both movies. The only movie
known by its initials is
“GWTW”, and it’ll be at the
Taylor in about ten days or so;
"Can Can,” is the Taylor’s Eas
ter presentation; Gina Lollobrigi
da is a redhead for the movie,
“Go Naked in the World;” I
don’t know how interesting this
is, but Myrna Loy was born in
Helena, Montana, around the
corner from Gary Cooper, but
they never met until they both
became stars.
Next week, another biography.
We’ve had a lot of favorable
comment on them.
Closing thought: Our virtues
are most frequently but vices
disguised.
There is a transcendent power
in example. We reform others
unconsciously, when we walk
uprightly.
