Gaston Lake is becom ing more popular each year, and more and more land is be ing used for recreation. The growth of the recrea tion enterprise around the Gaston Lake has been sur prising. When a flight of aerial photographs were taken In 1966 the Soil Conservation Service made a study of land that had been developed ad joining the lake. The urban buildup areas totaled over 1800 acres in Warren County, and this area Is growing rapid ly. The Warren Soil Con servation District is in terested In seeing all War ren County land developed in an orderly and efficient way. Landowners Interested in de veloping land for recreation can get technical assistance through the District. A soils map, an engineering survey, or land use recommendation can help the landowner In us ing his land most efficiently. An inland body of water like Gaston Lake is an asset to any community. It will provide recreation for many people and add to the economy of the surrounding area. An inland body of water like Gaston Lake offers an ex cellent place for fishing, skiing, boating, and enjoying the water. Former Warrenton Police Chief Dies Funeral services for J.

Organization Formed The M*Mt agricultural or ganization In tb? Stat* U the "North Carolina Association of Farmer Elected Com mitteemen," T. E. Watson, local ASCS office manager, announced yesterday. The or ganization has a reported cur rent membership of more than 2,500 and a potential mem bership of about 10,000. Watson said that Charles R. Reeves, a general crop and commercial pork producer of Sampson County, has been elected president of the North Carolina organization. Reeves said that "any person who is a present or past member or alternate of a farmer elected county or community AAA, CSS, or ASC committee Is eligible for membership." He said any ASCS county or state office employee who has been a member of a com mittee at sometlmelnthepast Is eligible for membership but will not be eligible to hold office In the new association. Other officers are Henry Winchester, Summer-field, vice president; William F. Tyson, Stokes, secretary; and Charles A, Suddreth, Route 5, Lenoir, treasurer. There also is an executive committee of 20 members two from each of the 10 Agri cultural Stabilization and Con servation Service districts. Associations of farmer committeemen have been or ganlzed to date to several states, chiefly In the Mid west, and a national conven tlon U to bi held In Kansas City od December 8- 9. The president of the na tional association Is Robert J. Hoffman of Alden, Iowa. A North Carolinian, John N. Lock amy of Route 1, Clinton, .has been named Southeast Area Director. The preamble to the consti tution and by-laws of both the State and national association states: "All segments of our na tional economy must be healthy and prosperous If a vigorous forward thrust In the economy Is to be maintained. If our farm economy is per mitted to lag for any extend ed period, the entire national economy will suffer. History proves that economic depres sions are farm led and farm fed." President Reeves said that the organization's objectives are set forth in its consti tution. "The purpose and ob jectives of the association," says the constitution of the North Carolina group "shall be to promote, strengthen, and improve the farmer elected committee system for local administration of farm programs. * 'It snail further be the pur - pose of the association, through the coordinated strength of Its membership, to seek, promote, and main taln effective farm programs which will (1) Increase and lm prove farm Income until it reaches parity with non-farm Income, 9) promote and pre serve the family-typ* farm, (3) eradicate rural poverty, (4) build and conserve the aoll, water, and forestry resources of the nation, (5) promote new uses of agricultural pro ducts." Watson said that mem bership in this new organiza tion is restricted fully to pre sent or former elected farmer committeemen. The new or ganization Is In no manner competitive with or Intended to be competitive with existing farm organizations in the State. A state charter has been obtained. "Dues are $5 a year, with $1 going to national, $2.50 to State, and $1.50 to county. Reeves said that a State con vention Is planned In Raleigh on November 6-7. Changes (Continued from page 5) total to 40-60 pounds per acre. Unless the soli Is very sandy, this should be the last fertilizer application until after harvest next year. Too much nitrogen In late winter or spring causes excessive leaf growth, reduces crop set, encourages fruit rot and gen erally reduces total yield. 2. Fall thinning Is Import ant. Under good growing con ditions, some varieties, especially?BarBbollo, males _ too many plants to give maxi mum yield. Research has abown that ylalda ara to crrased as much aaCM% ?Imb planU ware thlnnad to B to ? lnchra apart B plants can be thlnnad tor #6.00 par acre and this thlralnc will Increase yields from 5,000 to 7,000 quarts par acre, then aver age cost will decrease 1 to S cents per quart. This could Increase net Income by $2 5a 00 per acre. 3. Inflects and diseases must be controlled at all times. Check for red spiders close ly and treat Immediately tf they are found. Use Systox or K el thane according to man ufacturer's directions. 4. Control winter weeds, such as rye grass, chlckweed, annual blue grass, henblt, etc. . . .by applying 9 lbs. actual Dacthal per acre in early Oct ober and before these weed seeds germinate. HAIL DAMAGE Hall damaged about 500 acres of tobacco from the af ton community all along aline to the Inez community Satur day, August 5th. Based on gen eral observation, this damage ranged from 10% to almost 100% or about an average of 50%. Conservatively figuring the damage at $500.00 per acre, we had a $250,000.00 loss. As one example in the Afton community, Charles A. Hob good had some of the heav iest damage and he had about the same damage last y'!ar. R is most difficult to figure out ?a Wflalhflrman rfn a trick like this two years in a row. Boyd Bewfee T# It Held At Bi|*w, V?. A reunion of the descendants of Alexander Boyd, tor whom the town of Boydton to named, will be held Sunday, Aufust SO, with services at It o'clock, noon, In the recently reno vated, old Presbyterian Meet ing House In Boydton. The Rev. John Kearfott Boyd, of Colllnsvllle, Va., will preach. Following the church ser\ U ps a basket dinner will be held at the Roanoke River Mu seum, Prestwould House, near Clarksvllle. The reunion, held period ically for many years, has drawn large numbers In the past, as the family connec tion Is a very large one In both Virginia and North Car olina, as well as other states. Mr. Boyd, a Scottish-born merchant and planter, who died In 1801, had nine mar ried children and more than ninety grandchildren. He was a county judge and his quaint ly worded tombstone records his sudden death "while on the seat of Justice." BASIC NECESSITY After observing several new scouts at their outdoor cooking efforts, the scoutmaster asked, "How are you manag ing, boys? Have you forgot ten any essential equipment?" "Yes, 1 have," answered one of the scouts.
