PAGE SIX —SECTION ONE AROUND THE FARMS igjSlN CHOWAN COUNTY By C. W. OVERMAN. Chowan County Agent N. C. Certified Litters: Per foi.aance tested certified litters is the place to purchase top grade boars and gilts to improve swine .herds. I have just re ceived Report No. 1, dated March 15, from the N. C. Swine Evalu ation Station of State College. What does this mean? A swine producer makes ap plication to the Station and en ters two pigs from the litter to be tested. The pigs are fed out at the Station then they are butchered and evaluated. In order to qualify for certifi cation, both pigs must be 29 inches or more in carcass length, have not more than 1.6 inehe; backfat, and have loin eyes c.f 4 inches or more. Both pigs must weigh 200 pounds at 100 days or less of age. Any swine growers who are interested in purchasing breed ing stock from performance cer tified litters may contact their County Extension Office. You miy look over the list, select the breed and the breeder to con tact. Certified Seed Sweet Potatoes: I have one or more calls about every day relative to certified seed sweet potatoes. Interest in improved sweet potato seed up-; pears to have mounted. I am glad, because good seed, proper- j ly used, is a major step tow "1 improved sweet potato produc tion. Your County Agricultural Agent has a list of the certif e l seed producers who have seed for sale. The list shows the producer’s name, address, tele phone number, the varieties and the number of bushels. Wilbert Hare of Cross Roads Communi ty in Chowan County, address Tyner, N. C„ telephone ni n b<T Edenton 4078, has for sale cer tified seed of Goldrush and Nug %et varieties. For success with sweet pota toes use good seed and follow the improved recommended pro duction practices. If you need a practice sheet, let me know. ■ Vegetable Market Plans: There should be a ready market for fresh vegetables in Chowan County this season. The Cho wan Cooperative Produce Ex change is planning its operation for the season. There are aNo several independent- produce dealers who do a good job of marketing. A good volume of quality pro- 1 ducc, properly packed attracts buyers. The outlook for ve,; ■- table prices this year looks a little better. The planting sea- j son is on us. Consider vege tables as one source of increased income for 19(12. | Application for N. C. Gas Tax Refund: April 15 is the final i date for filing application fori refund of gasoline tax on farm used gasoline for the period Jan uary 1, 1961 through December i 31, 1961, to the State of North j Carolina.

The : tax money belongs to the farm ers who paid it but the only ; way he can get it is to apply for it. I am toid that there are a ; lot of farmers in North Carolina who are not applying for the i tax refund. I am sure that their families need the money even if ■ the farmer himself does not. Tne law provides that farmers can get the gasoline tax refund if they will make proper appli cation for it. It may not amount to a gteat deal of money in many cases, but whatever it is. it is worth the time and trou ble to fill out the application and the postage for mailing it. Just remember, April 15 is the final date for last year. | Robert H. Hollowell Dies at Cross Roads Robert H.
