?Land-judging hy TONYSHOIT _ Jhe mhuI Future Farmers of America landjudging contest tu held last Thur sday at Boanokc High School in Rohersooville. Campoilnt were tea teams is two separate federations, ^iKtudlnt the Coastal and "Albemarle. The contest is sponsored in part by the North Carolina ? Association of Conservation "Districts -??> . iv winner of the Albemarle Federation was the Camden -"?Chapter, Northeastern was ?t- second and Gates was third. These teams were presented pHiecks from the Albemarle ?* Conservation District, which -Includes Camden, Currituck, ?'Pasquotank, Pefquimani, and "j Chowan Counties The iadhridual hi gk Mora for the competition was Georgia Johnaoa, also of Camden. She was alae awarded a check from the district Soil judging is aa educational tooL It helps the F.F.A. student learn more about the capabilities and the problems at different types of soil. Such things as soil texture, slope, structure, and drainage are considered. Knowing these properties, a deter mination can be made for soil suitability for various uses. For example, a soil with certain clays in the subsoil may cause problems for house foundations. \ Perquimans Gardening By Jean Winslow 1 Now that trees are dormant, a good choice for landscaping in our area is the waxmyrtle, " which may be moved now. '" Native to North Carolina, it jgrows in sandy swamplands. ?You see it everywhere. We have one which has been "trained into a small tree, with fenultiple branches. I especially like it in the winter, as it is evergreen, with broad "leaves that have a pleasing 'aroma when crushed. N.C. Agriculturists caution that while the waxmyrtle is hard to transplant, it will survive with adequate water, good soil, and most important of all, adequate drainage. I've seen ait on sale at large nurseries, ^Dut not around here. Here's something for the birds: ; ; In my time-consuming and exhaustive research' (i.e., I ask the Bird Lady) I have compiled a list of plants which itre popular with birds of this area. The following is for wme of the birds on our scene Might now. ? Purple finches like seeds, cherries, crab apples, dogwoods, millets, fiyracantha, sumac, and xunflowers. . Baltimore orioles like ar tificial feeds, which I'll get to ta a minute. You can count on }hem basically for the same as {inches, except they love plum Btfeestoo. Z Catbirds, thrashers, car dinals and robins like all of the above, including hollies. Chickadees, titmice, and nuthatches are more selec tive: oaks, sumacs, sun flowers, and suet. Sumac is by fyr the most popular plant ifith bird species. y .This brings us to our annual publication of the recipe for Chickadee Pie, which of course is popular also with finches, orioles, and others at this season. In case you don't remem ber, mix up ground or finely chopped suet with cornmeal, peanut butter, corn, or table syrup, and place in a citrus rind. Raisons, old bread and cake are also suggested for dessert. Don't forget to build a feeding tray close to a window where you can observe all the comings and goings of hungry guests. By the way, we had otters in the river back of our house recently. They swam under the pier, and those lucky enough to observe them (guess who wasn't home?) said they came in so close you could see their whiskers. Otters are first-rate swimmers with webbed feet and a powerful flattened lateral-shaped tail. In this area, otters are attracted by fish for which they dive and catch under water. Usually, during the day, an otter will stay inside its burrow, which he prefers to be under the trunk of a fallen tree. He hides the upper ventilating entrances under roots and branches, and when alarmed will silently slide out the lower entrance which is under water. An otter is said to be a very rewarding pet, who will follow his trainer anywhere. They are taught to catch fish in some of th eastern countries. Wish I had one. All those sixty-eleven kids who swim here in the summer would have a ball rafting with my playful friend. r armers newsline Hear the latest crop, livestock, and farm economic information from Washington.
