—SECTION THREE PAGE SIX E OUR SOIL * OUR STRENGTH = Open Ditch Maintenance Each year around $50,000 is spent on drainage in Chowan County. A lot of this is for con structing new ditches and install ing tile drains but a lot of it is for cleaning out old ditches. Constructing a new ditch and not including the adequate mainten ance provisions such as seeding the side slopes and a border along the edge to some type of grass and installing surface in lets is "the same as when a pel soil buys a new car and never changes the oil or makes any repairs until the car is worn out and will not serve its func tion any longer. Then the car is traded for another new one — only in the case of the ditch, it is cleaned out again. Almost all dit'ihes have to be cleaned out sometime but most of them today are having to be cleaned out more often than they should be. David Warren recently con structed some new ditches and installed wood box type surface inlets for the surface water to run through into the ditch. This gets the surface water into the ditches without washing the side Slopes. The cost of the surface inlets and installing them is very small compared to the cost of cleaning out these ditches. Sur face inlets can be made out of several things, ranging from old tin to scrap .lumber. Various kinds of pipes can be purchased for the job also. Carroll Privott CUFF BLUE * s3^-, j.

Wallace Goodwin seeded the side slopes and a strip along the edge of a newly constructed ditch to fes cus grass to prevent it from washing. Every ditch has a need somewhere along it for a surface inlet. Open ditch main tenance is saving money instead of spending it. Stubble Mulch Planting Mulch planting is a once over planting operation without prior land preparation that makes maximum use of crop residues. One place where it is applicable in our area' is the planting of soybeans immediately behind small grain harvest in a once over planting operation without destroying the straw. Fahey and Carroll Byrum have been stubble mulch planting soy- ■ beans for a number of years and have been getting good results. A lot of valuable plant nutri ents are destroyed each spring when we burn out small grain straw after grain harvest. Why not conserve the straw and at the same time plant your soy beans much cheaper Mulch planting is cheaper when you consider it is a once over plant ing operation in comparison to the many trips needed for the conventional method of planting. It improves the soil's tilth, in creases the water intake, con serves moisture, reduces erosion and maintains the organic mat ter. Actual experience has prov en that mulch planted soybeans will yield about the same as beans planted using the conven tional method. So by mulch planting you make more money and leave your land in a much better state of condition.

OUTDOOR TIPS 1 from the Ancioni Age Sportsman's Idea Exchange RECORD BREAKER Put this 4ip away in your mind for the time you score on a big one. If you are carrying a potential prize winning fish to the weigh-in station, always I wrap it in wet bunap. A fish can lose as muen as 111 per cent of its weight drying out. STOP CARPING When dough baits fail on carp, a raw potato might do the trick. Carp are strict vege tarians. Also sweet corn or red cherries work in some localities. FOILED AGAIN Wrap sandwiches in foil foi l early spring fishing trips. Warm them over campfire or on hot automobile engine and they'll reciprocate by warming your insides. WAXED LINE Another early season tip calls for waxing your line and rod guides slightly. Then if tem peratures drop below freezing, CHUM, CHUM Want good fishing? Fill a gallon can with fish scraps, chicken entrails, old meat. Sink in deep water near a good fish ing spot. Next day watch out for the big ones. the line will still flow through guides. SAND HANDS Trotline fishermen along the Mississippi use this tip to make their job of handling fish easier. They fill a bucket with dry sand before setting out. Then as their hands get slippery, they stick in sand so fish can be held securely while unhooking. MONOFIL KNOTS Regular kots tied in mono filament will slip. To be sun your lure will never come off heat knot with a match or cig arette until the line fuses to ; gether.

Fifty-Fifty “Hello, Henry,” an Alabama Negro called out to a friend he had not seen for several months. “How’s everything?” "Ain’t you heard, Joe?” Henry replied. ‘ I’se been divorced.” “Do tell,” said Heniy. “What did you and your woman do wit dat house you-all owned?” “Oh, we dgided it up.” “Divided yo bouse?” rejoined Joe, looking slightly puzzled. “How?” “Fifty-fifty,” said Henry. “She takes •de inside anl I takes de outside.” fl STRANGE HEADPIECE— This cap may not seem too strange in many parts of the country, but for David f Tankersl ey,it is really something strange.

Phone that they’d burn his shymb with out one he doesn’t want .his fishing mechanized, or auto mated, any more than is neces sary . But drags are a boon, to less experienced anglers who, without them, might break their lines through excitement in playing fish. One of these latter almost in variably sets the drag so hard that a fish making a long run stands a good chance of break ing the line anyhow. Why? First: He’ll generally pull line directly from the reel by hand, judging when the ten sion is safely below listed break ing strain. wpfcl All wrong! He’s not allowing for the comparatively great fric tion of the line against the guides when the rod is held well up in playing a fish. This may easily add enough tension to break the line. Second: Even though he al lows for guide friction, there’s another factor he’s almost cer tain to overlook: As the di ameter of line on the reel de creases during a long run, the force necessary to pull it off in creases greatly which, of course, also may lead to a break. Third: The strongest knot possible, which is the barrel or the blood knot is, even when tied perfectly, at least a little weaker than the line without a knot.

Jason Lucas, Angling Editor of Sports Afield Magazine, sug gests the following: ‘Tie the end of your line to something and walk off until you have paid out the greatest amount of line that you expect a ffeifo to take run. Then, pulling with 'the rod bent the most' you’ll bend- it hi' playing one, set the drag to what you feel is a safe tension.’* .
