Dress Revue Sewing Is Real Project By HAROLYN LEAKE Ryland Senior 4-H Club On a starry May night in 1965, I was announced the winner of the Chowan Coun ty Dress Revue. The outfit entered, a navy blue skirt and a checked blouse, was the first outfit that I had entered in any type of com petition. Winning the Dress Revue opened new doors in my life. In the latter part of June I traveled to New Bern to compete in the dis trict division. It was com pletely different from what I had expected. Instead of modeling, our garments were just inspected, first for ap pearance and then for con struction and workmanship. That day I was not an nounced as a district win ner, but a few days later my county agent, Mrs. Fran Ward, informed me that I was a district winner. In July, the Chowan County 4-H Council paid my way to State 4-H Week in Raleigh. There I competed in the State Dress Revue. On Tuesday afternoon, in an air-conditioned lounge, 35 other district winners, the state Negro winner, and I were by a panel of three very capable seam stresses. On Wednesday morning Mrs. Eleanor Echo instruct ed us in the proper way to model for the State Dress Revue. That afternoon we practised with our escorts. ■ 11 mr ■ m JWCITjT m ■ F 4 Jfllft iSiBHK--- Sv * ■Rk • !■ HAROLYN LEAKE WORKS ON PROJECT THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY OCTOBER 6, 1965. My escort was a young man named Tom McCall. I didn’t enjoy this second day be cause of a rather severe case of tonsilitis. That night was the big night in which 37 trembling girls and seven reassuring boys burst open the cov ers of nationally known fashion magazines such as Seventeen and Glamor. Be fore the show was over, Miss Nancy Matthews of Hertford was announced state winner. She had achieved the most outstand ing honor to be given in this area of work. Although I had not receiv ed the highest honor, I had made quite a few achieve ments both for my county and for me. This was my first year in sewing and I took the county sewing hon ors, I was the first person in Chowan County to ever compete in state sewing contest. This year I again won the county dress revue, but my winning streak ended when I entered district competi tion. I must say that the extra work and effort to make a better quality garment was justified by the sense of achievement that I felt when I was announced as a win ner. A Good Lesson The reason a dog has so many friends is that his tail wags instead of his tongue. U. S. Coast Guard Magazine. Around The Farms In Chowan County By C. W. OVERMAN, Chowan County Aganl Chowan County Fair: The Chowan County Fair is next week, October 10-15. Ex hibits will be entered on Monday. It is very import ant that exhibitors bring in their entries as early as pos sible to avoid the rush which always occurs in late after noon and early evening. By coming in as early as pos sible time is saved for the exhibitor and entries can be made to a better advantage. Again this year a large number of exhibits is desired but also exhibits must be as good as possible. I am sure that a lot of you people over Chowan County have excel lent products that can be shown in the fair and that these products have an edu cational value. Let’s cooper ate and make this one of the biggest and best county fairs we have ever had. Attendance at the fair during the week is very im portant but along with at tendance goes a careful ob servation of the exhibits. Exhibits are tfor show but also have real educational value. Don’t miss the value of learning as you observe. Peanut Maturity and Har vesting: We are in some what of an unusual situation this year in regards to pea nut maturity. In most cases regardless of time of plant ing and variety there isn’t a great deal of differenc in maturity. This was brought on by the very dry weather in July followed by the rains in August. On Tues day morning of this week I iooked at some peanuts that were dug. Only 40 per cent of the pods were mature and ready for harvest. For best results and yield 65 to 70 per cent of the pods should be showing this maturity. The grower stated that he could not wait any longer to start in order to handle the crop through his curing facilities and this I had to agree with. Attention Mr. Farmer WE ARE AGAIN LEADING THE WAY FOR HARVESTING YOUR PEANUTS-CORN COTTON AND SOY BEANS AT TOP MARKET PRICES ❖ " WE WILL COMBINE AND DRY YOUR CORN, PEANUTS AND SOYBEANS We Also Have Peanut Drying Trailers Available For You.

Phone 482-342 S Edtiitoil, N. C The fact that a very large per cent of the crop was set and made after August 1 is placing the maturity of the crop together and not spread ing it out as we would nor mally expect. NC-2 variety is just about as early as Florigiant and other earlier varieties and the NC-5 is not much later than NC-2 this season. Growers will have to use the best maturity judgment possible. Peanuts on sandy soils should be ma ture ahead of those on heav ier soils. The best advice I can give is to watch the fields closely, dig as near at the right stage of maturity as possible, but don’t get caught with overloaded cur ing facilities. It is better to lose some peanuts in the field than to overload the curing facili ties, rush curing and end up with poorly cured or damag ed peanuts going to market. Improve Your Lawn: Ex tension Specialist John Har ris sez: “In most parts of the state September is the ideal time for seeding fes cue and bluegrass. It’s also a good time for patching up old lawns. Tall fescue (Kentucky 31) is your best bet in most sec tions for a fall-seeded grass. In heavy shade Kentucky bluegrass used alone or in combination with red fescue is recommended. If you have fescue or bluegrass, be sure to fertil ize between September 15 and November 1. This fall application is very impart ant. In the Coastal Plain area tall fescue may go out in a few years but it can be changed over gradually to Zoysia, Bermuda or Centi pede by planting roots of one of these grasses as the fescue gradually goes out. If you have summer grass that turns brown in the win ter, now is the time to over seed with rye grass for a winter lawn. I would not use rye grass if you have fescue or bluegrass. Rye grass will choke out your fescue and bluegrass. Rye grass will also damage your summer grass to some ex tent, but fertilizing next spring after the rye grass dies will reduce the damage. Some people recommend rye grass and Bermuda seeded in the fall. The the ory is that the rye grass will provide a winter lawn and the Bermuda will germinate in the spring and take over. This seldom works. The Bermuda either germinates in the fall and is killed by cold or it germinates in the spring and is choked out by the rye grass. Seed or plant the roots of Bermuda in the spring. Zoy sia and Centepede are also planted in the spiring. AUCTION OFFICE EQUIPMENT B. W.
