Interesting Bits Of Agricultural News Occupations Robin Williams, of the State Col lege Experiment Station, found in a study that farm boys preferred the followrhg occupations in the order named farming, mechanics, engin eering, aviation and the professions. Ahead The Farm Security administration has reported tlwt tenants and share croppers who borrowed government money to buy farms of their own are repaying their loans in advance of tin' date due Popular - Attendance records at lhts~ year's Farm and- Home Week, to be held at State College July 31-August 4, are expected to be broken as officials look for the largest crowd, in tha event's history Travel Difficult In These Parts In Days Of Long Ago J u s t ice Iredell Describes Trip From Williamston To Tarborough Imagine Supreme Court Justice McReynolds riding over bad coun try roads and through flooded streams in a horse and buggy to get to his assignments, and you'll have a plenty good idea of what the Unit ed States Supreme Court Justices had to do in years gone by. Visiting Ins brother-in-law, former Governor Sam Johnston, in Williamston, Asso ciate Justice James Iredell penned a letter to Mrs. Iredell in Edenton, telling of an attempted trip from here to Tarboro in April, 1798. The letter, dated April 10, 1798, is printed below through the court esy of Mr W. H. Biggs who has much of the Iredell-Johnston cor respondence. "You will doubtless be surprised to receive a letter from me of this date from this place. 1 found it im possible to cross Tar River at Tar borough, or to proceed in any other direction. X left Mr. Joimslon's with very little hope on Saturday, but resolved to make every effort m| my power to get on 1 proceeded ac cordingly, with a letter to Col Ma yo to assist me on the road if nec essary. 1 was soon informed that all bridges had been broken up, but that he had been repairing two that morning, and I reached his house (18 miles hence) without any diffi culty. He told me he suspected the bridges in a great swamp called Coneta had been carried away, but recommended me to call on Mr. Pip pin, on this side of it, and request his advice and assistance. 1 had pro ceeded several miles, when Col i Mayo overtook me, in order that he might speak to Mr Pippin him-J ^-lf We found the bridges were gone, but he thought, with the aid of two Negroes, whom he lent me, 1 might get safely through; and! they both assured me. after passing that swamp, there was no obstacle to my passing safely to the banks of the river; for, though I should have to go through a great deal ofj water, none of it was very deep. We got through the swamp with some difficulty, having in some places to plunge through very deep holes where the bridges had been. 1 then thought all my difficulties over, and proceeded on in high spirits I found the water in one or two swamps much deeper than 1 expected, and began to be a little alarmed over my situation Still, however, I went on, having full con fidence in the information I had re ceived At length, when I suppose we had got within about a mile of the river, we entered a very long swamp, that had a most formidable appearance. 1 directed Hannibal, who was before, to proceed with great precaution, and if the water grew very deep, to stop. He did, and 1 directed him to return immediate ly, and I afterwards discovered that in two minutes he would have been swimming water. In that swamp it was swimming water for 40 yards, and in another, little beyond, for 100. I then found myself in a very jvagre-gbie situation. It was un r-flritrtr t" return without the two Negroes I had parted with, I knew of no house near where I could go, jend the nigh' ""?? -idvinring fas) After going back some distance, I saw a house not very far off on my left, to which I went, and there, luckily, I found a most obliging man and his wife, a Mr. and Mrs. Ford, who had lately removed from the neighborhood of Halifax, people ap parently poor, but singularly kind and hoopituble The river was high er than it had been known for 20 years, and was then rising. If it fell, Mr. Ford told me, it would be two or three days before the swamps would be passable without swim ming, and I saw no possibility of crossing with my chair and horses without risk and delay, and had ev ery reason to believe that every road belong Tarborough would be impracticable for some time. I then inquired if I could take any other road, even that to Halifax, but f".|?t?insurmountable obotaoles, Calculating the time I had to spare, I was convinced there was not the slightest probability of my getting to Savannah in time, and being in a private house, where I could not prevail upon the family to receive any remuneration, not a single tav ern between that and this place, on the only passable road. I at length, with inexpressible reluctance, gave up the attempt to reach Savannah. I informed the district judge of my situation by a letter sent by Tar borough, and I returned here. Mr. Ford lending ma two negroes to assist me through the dangerous swamp of Coneta I am here shut up on every side, but hope soon to be able to travel. 1 think I shall ar rive some days at Charleston be fore the court will meet." At Bayvlew During Holidays Misses Lucille Cowan, Ruby Cher ry and Eleanor Gray Cherry and Messrs. William N. Cherry, Ban Dan iel and Ben Hardiaon spent the fourth at Bayvlew. Proper Equipment Is Very Important Mrs. Cornelia C. Morris, econom ist in food conservation and market ing of the State College Extension Service, says proper equipment is highly important for canning, which is a summertime practice in most North Carolina rural homes, "and should be in every home," she add ed. First on her list of equipment is an authoritative manual giving de tailed instructions for preparing and processing the different fruits and vegetables. Such a publication is! Extension Circular No. 223, "Canning Fruits and Vegetables," which is free; to citizens of North Carolina upon request to the Agricultural Editor, | State College, Raleigh. There is also available what is popularly known as the "canning bulletin" of the Bureau of Home Economics, which may be obtained free by writing the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture. Washington, for Farmers' Bulletin No. 1762-F, "Home Canning of Fruits, Vege tables and Meats." A check-over of the canning equipment needed indicates two kinds of canners if one is handling vegetables as well as acid fruits and tomatoes, says Mrs. Morris. Acid fruits and tomatoes may be canned in a hot water-bath canner, which may be a wash boiler, a bucket, or any vessel that has a tight cover and is large enough to hold a convenient number of cans or Jars, and to permit covering them with 1 to 2 inches of water. It should be fitted with a rack to hold the containers. A steam pressume canner is neces sary for all non-acid foods, including meats, and practically all vegetables except tomatoes, the extension spec ialist advised Such foods should not be canned at home if a steam pres sure canner is not available. New rubber rings should be bought ev ery year for glass jars, commonly used as containers of canned foods. Rubber rings should be of good qual ity to withstand the temperature of processing. ? I) e mount rati on Of Chippewa Spuds Causes Increase In "39 Because of one outstanding dem onstration wtih Chippewa Irish po tatoes in 1938, twenty-five Mitchell County farmers have planted small patches of the variety this year. Much of the wheat crop in Stan ly County this year is being harvest ed with combines, the addition of these machines making them a com mon sight at this season Soybeans Suitable As Feed For Lambs Although soybeans will produce "?oft pork" if fed to fattening hogs, they are a desirable feed for lambs and will not affect the quality of the carcass, reports Dr. John E. Foster, associate professor of the State Col lege Animal Husbandry department. "In fact," he said, "we have found in our experimestal work on the State College farm that ewes and lambs gain faster on soybean pas ture than on any other kind." With soybean production up near ly 10 times what it was 10 years ago both farmers and scientists are look ing for new and profitable uses for this soil-improving crop. "We have fed up to three-fourths of a pound of soybeans per day to sheep with good results," Dr. Foster stated. "Soybean oil meal is an ex cellent protein supplement for sheep, cattle, and even swine. It is the whole beans fed to hogs after they reach 75 io 100 pounds in weight that pro duces 'soft and oily pork' which is undesirable." Dr. Foster cited results of experi ments conducted by the U. S. De partment of Agriculure at the Agri cultural Research Center, Beltsville, Md., to support the investigations of the State College Experiment Sta tion. Three lots of lambs were fed at Beltsville. One group received the usual ration of cracked corn, cot tonseed meal and alfalfa hay. The second lot received only cracked! soybeans and alfalfa hay The third | lot received a ration of equal parts of cracked soybeans and cracked corn, with alfalfa hay. Lambs in each lot averaged more than a third of a pound a day in gain while on feed. Most lamb feeders are satisfied with this daily gain. An increasing number of Yancey County farm families are installing running water in their homes this year, says R. H. Crouse, assistant farm agent.
