COMMUNITY ROAD SIGNS 1
In the picture above you you
see three hard working civic, Town Road. Left to right, th
minded people placing 'a sign
near the edge of the Drewry
Community on the Jackson
road sign committee are: C. B.
Curtis, Jr., Ellis Fleming, chair
man, and W. B. Ellineton.
Committee members not pres
ent are: A. E. Liles and Wil
son Fleming. The signs con
structed at the vocational agri
cultural workshop. Middleburg,
were made from Marine ply
board and cedar posts. Officers
of the growing community club
are: Mrs. F. H. Ranes, chair- <
man; Ellis Fleming, vice chair t
man; and Mrs. Sandra Pcarco
secy-treas. c
On July 27. the club spon-'i
sored a community-wide fisli,1
fry which was held at Bill .*
White's swimming pond Whilo j'
C. B. Curtis, Jr., was over-1 <
heatedly frying the large vol-jt
ume of fish, assisted by num-'t
erous fish cleancrs, etc. th?|
small fry including Bill White j r
were cooling off in the pond. | d
William Ellington was assigned n
the job of fireman but Mi
Curtis had a difficult tim
keeping him on the job.
A. E. Liles gave me one o
the worst horse shoe pitchin,
defeats I have ever had, so i
you have an itching hand, dro|
by his place for a brush-off.
Several weeks prior to th<
community fish fry, the fish
ermen of the community pu
forth their best efforts ti
ce-tch and save surplus fisl
for the occasion. There were
so many fish left over one
could be reminded of the Bib
lical story concerning the fisl
and loaves AH of this is in
dication of their communitj
spirit.
RAIN NEEDED
As this is written on August
3, wo are in critical need ol
rains Producers irrigating still
have a smile on their faces
and a feeling of confidence
but most others have a sad
washed-out look. They have
justification for such.
As far as I can observe, cot
ton is having a field day and
iomg well. Boll weevils ate
having a rough time surviv
ing I he hot soils but a few do
n order to keep the seed suo
jly going.
CANTALOUPES
Too much early rain follow
>d by downy mildew and dry
veather has seriously curtail
d cantaloupe production. W. I.
vilian used hot cops on one
ield, resulting in the best and j
?arliest melons as compared I
o the normal planting.
\V. J. Hecht has treated his i
antaloupes four times for downy ]
nildew using coper dust. The
estilts have been outstanding,
'he vines and leaves have 're
named green to alow a long
r period for the cantaloupes to
evelop A taste test proves
he flavor to be like old times
It just goes to prove that ?
egular routine plan for pro
motion will not work and we
lust be flexible to the m
tent we will do the known
thing at the right time to get
desired results. Mr. Kilian and
Mr. Hecht are proving this.

Farm Costs
Expected To
Rise Again In '61
Increases in taxes, interest
and wage rates will probablj
result in somewhat highei
farm costs in 1961 than in
1960.
This is the conclusion reach
ed by Hugh L. Liner, farm
management specialist at N. C.
State College, in a mid-year
outlook at North Carolina farm
costs.
Here are his other outlook
predictions:
Feed grain prices are ex
pected to average close to
those of the past year with a
slight increase in protein and
by-product feed prices.
Prices for feed cattle should
remain steady with a declinc
in feeder pig prices.
General price increases can
be expected for farm machin
ery, building materials and
other production items that,
have high labor requirements, i
Fertilizer prices will prol) '
ably increase slightly.
