Thursday. March 10,1983, Edenton, North Carolina
in the course of an experi
ment. This dog had been sur
rendered to the Chowan Coun
ty dog pound by its owner who
did not know that the dog
would subsequently be sold,
resold and then turned over to
researchers in Bethesda.
Confronted with such
adverse publicity, I was very
surprised to learn that
Representative Vernon
James has so quickly in
troduced a bill to the State
Legislature providing
Chowan and Pasquotank
counties with explicit authori
ty to sell surplus dogs and
cats from the county pounds
to independent animal
dealers for resale as ex
perimental subjects.
I wonder if the citizens of
Chowan and Pasquotank
counties are aware that their
pet animals are not only
becoming victims of research
experiments, but are also the
suBJeCTof special legislation
to further encourage sales to
animal dealers.
Since most pound animals
are former pets, it is abhor
rent to think of these animals
having to undergo the terror
of painful experiments. Dogs
and cats are loving, trusting
companions of man; imagine
their trauma at being aban
doned suddenly to such a
frightening environment.
Furthermore, should you lose
your pet, the grief should not
be compounded by the fear
that it remained alive,
unreachable and suffering
somewhere in a research
laboratory.
Lost, stray and abandoned
animals who wind up in coun
ty dog pounds are a sad com
mentary on human irrespon
sibility and do not deserve
such a fate. A more practical,
ethical and compassionate
method of disposing of
homeless animals is in order.
Very truly yours,
(Mrs.) Mary E. White

INSPECTING DRAINAGE PROJECTS-Contractor and
local drainage commissioner inspect work on the Bear
Swamp main channel during the early construction stages
of the project. First planning, and then installing the pro
jects, now the maintaining of the projects.
Drainage Projects In Area
In Perquimans and Chowan
Counties there are three
watershed drainage projects.
These projects are sponsored
by the Soil Conservation Ser
vice, under public law 566,
and local drainage districts.
The first of these local pro
jects constructed in 1961 was
Burnt Mill Creek Watershed
on the county line on US-17. It
drains about 10,500 acres of
land in Chowan and Per
quimans counties with 9 miles
of open channels. Pollock
Swamp Watershed project,
west of Edenton, was install
ed in 1966; it drains about
15,000 acres with 28 miles of
open channels. The Bear
Swamp Watershed project
was completed in 1981. It is
east of Center Hill and drains
about 13,00 acres and has 17
miles of open channels. Bear
Swamp is the older of the
three projects. Landowners
organized in the early nine
teen hundreds to perform
drainage work and again in
the late fourties.
Each watershed district has
a board of commissioners
that oversees the project.
These commissioners are
local contacts for landowners
that are within the watershed.
Landowners in the water
sheds are assessed foe.,
drainage. This is determined
basically by the benefits the
individual’s parcel of land
receives by drainage. There
is an original cost of the pro
ject for which each landowner
is assessed. Also there is an
annual maintenance assess
ment, this is used to perform
priority maintenance work.
This maintenance involves
mowing ditch banks to
remove vegetation, repairing
bridges and culverts, and dip
ping out sediment from the
canals.
An annual inspection by the
Soil Conservation Service and
the Drainage Commissioners
is made on each project to
check for any malfunctions.
The Commissioners task of
trying to determine where
work is needed the most is not
always and easy job since
funds are usually limited.
Landowners are urged to let
their Commissioners or the
Soil Conservation represen
tative know when a problem
arises in the watershed
system.

Agriculture Meeting
RALEIGH—The North
Carolina Board of Agriculture
met recently in Room 359 of
the Agriculture Building, I
West Edenton Street j
Action taken during the
Board of Agriculture meeting
included; ‘
1) Adoption of temporary
plant regulations concerning,
importation of green pepper
plants. Growers importing
these plants from outside the
state would have to notify
NCDA; NCDA would, in turn,
check the out-of-state plant
source to determine if disease
and insect free plants are be
ing offered for sale. In 1982,
importation of pepper plants
from outside the state which
were infested with bacterial
leaf spot disease caused ma
jor losses in the pepper in
dustry. This regulation will
try to prevent this “introduc
ed problem” from occurring
again.
2) Approval of a loan pro
posal from Northwestern
Bank to fund stall construc
tion for the Raleigh horse
facility. It is proposed that
funds in the amount of
$750,000 be borrowed to con
struct 5 stall buildings to
house up to 500 horses.
3) Approved an amendment
of the Ringling Brothers con
tract which would allow the
company to have the ex
clusive right to sell snowcones
and cotton candy during the
circus.
4) Approved a motion which
would grant James E. Strates
Shows, carnival/rides con
tractor for the State Fair, a
three-year contract. This con
tract would be reviewed
annually.
