Overman Explains
National uerense
On Cotton Farms
Cotton Stamp and Food
and Feed Program
linked Together
"Daring these days of troublous
times in Europe we are hearing mucii
about National Defense at home, ’
says County Agent C. W. Overman.
“I have been thinking that soon the
Defense program will enter into U.
S. Ayricnlture. It has come in th*.
form of the Supplementary Cotton
Stamp, Food and Feed program on
cotton farms, and a more adequate
Food and Feed prdgram on every
farm.
The Cotton Stamp program ana
the Food and Feed program are link
ed together on cotton farms that
produced cotton in 1940. The Fooo
and Feed program payment is not
applicable except on farms partici
pating in the Cotton Stamp Program.
All tenants on participating* farms
may participate in the Food and
Feed program while only cotton pro
ducing tenants may participate in
the Cotton Stamp Program.
“The Cotton Stamp Program pro
vides that on cotton farms, on whicu
cotton was produced in 1940, by re
ducing from the 1941 cotton allot
ment or the 1940 planted acreage ol
cotton on the farm, which ever is
smaller, cotton producers may ob
tain cotton stamps to be used in
purchasing cotton goods. A single
operator or a landlord and one tenant
may receive up to $25.00 each in
stamps. Landlords with two or
more cotton farms, or two or more
eotton tenants, may receive up to
$50.00 in stamps and each cotton
tenant up to $25.00 worth of stamps.
“The Food and Feed program pro
vides that for the production of
specified food and feed crops to be
■sed on the farm an additional $3.00
may be earned by the landlord and
each tenant. This is applicable only
to farms participating in the Cotton
Stamp Program.
“Our Agricultural leaders feel that
the first step toward National De
fense in Agriculture is the produc
tion and proper conservation of ade
quate food and feed products on the
farm for use on the farm. This is a
step toward building healthier peo
ple on the farms. The farm is a
place where the people there can
really LIVE-AT-HOME, so far as
adaptable food crops are concerned.
“Let every farmer in Chowan
County take this step during 1941.
Plan and produce an adequate Home
Garden to furnish sufficient vege
tables and fruits for use during off
seasons. Produce an adequate sup
ply of dairy products, meat products
and poultry products for use on the
farm, all tenants and laborers in
eluded, for all seasons of the year.
Properly care for the present home
orchard or plant one to produce suf
ficient fruit for home use. Set and
properly care for small fruits, such
as berries of various kinds.”
In order to inform every farme,
in Chowan County regarding the a
bove programs and also certain fea
tures of the 1941 Agricultural Con
servation Program meetings were
held at Briggs’ Store at Gliden, on
Monday night; at Hollowell’s Store,
Tuesday night, and at L. W. Belch s
Store, Center Hill, Wednesday night.
Similar meetings will be held tonight
(Thursday) at Hollowell & Evans
Store, at Cross Roads, and on Fn
dav nieht at Peele’s Store, Rocky

I A DUDE WORD 1

From the Montgomery Advertiser,
j “Governor Dixon recently designateu
a week for the people of Alabama
’ do homage to the peanut.”
1 This was usurpation by Governor
i Dixon, infringement on the constitu-
I tional separation of the brandies ol
. government, homage to the peanu*
, being a legislative function.
9 The production of a bumper cro r
j, of these nuts in Alabama is proper
7 cause for rejoicing by Govern o.
i Dixon, and he does well to encour
s age the swelling of its proportion.
in 1941. The News and Courier
i wishes that the idle (“conserved’ )
lands of South Carolina were plantea
- to peanuts and that taxes were pay
able in them. South Carolina is pei
- haps the most forgotten of all peanut,
> commonwealths.
r W’hy has the name “peanut” sup
planted the good word “gooDerV“
i We did not hear of “peanuts” untn
. we went off to school where we soui.
ceased to be a one-gallus boy ana
learned a number of words of detei
ioration from the originals.
Also, “pinda” was a parlor wore
j for goobers—both words are ot
; Kongo birth—which has been ,
utterly from democratic vocabularies.
The use of “peanuts” is now univei
i sal, however the British speak ol
them as “monkey nuts.” Some quee.
people say “ground nuts,” pronounces
’ “grunnuts.”
A substantial increase in the pea
nut csop might help to solve the
problem of biennial sessions.
A diet of peanuts and popcorn ie
recommended for the nourishment oi
statesmanship. They should be eata<»
in moderation.
Were the State House Yard pldnv
ed to peanuts it might reduce the
deficit.
Nevertheless, “peanut” is a feeble,

with goober, which is deserving oi
homage. Charleston News ana

For Sowing Lespedeza
A good slogan for North Carolina
growers to adopt this year is “Save

Afe’d like you to see and drive
the finest Ford we’ve ever built
You’ll find its big bodies longer
inside, greater in total seating
width, and larger in windshield,
than anything else in the Ford

You’ll find a great new Ford

Thirty-five Men of Com
munity Scheduled to >
Take Part
The Gum Pond Home Demonstra
tion Club will sponsor an entertain
ment at Gum Pond School on Thun>-
day evening March 27, beginning ac
8 o’clock. The main feature of the
evening will be a Womanless Wed
ding, in which about 35 men of the
community will take part. This av
t traction is expected to draw a largo
j crowd and will prove most laughable
; from start to finish.
The cast has not been completed,
t but the following have been selectea.
s Bride, Bennie Winslow; groom,
Marcus Bass;" minister, W. L. Smith,
• TnaM of honor, Marvin Evans; matron
> of honor, Marvin Smith; father of
bride, G. T. Peele; ring-bearer, Percy
Smith; bridesmaids, Lloyd Peele,
- Kermit Nixon, Lloyd Bass, Rodney
p ? aa Clyde Bunch and Preston
Parks; flower girls, Clarence Bast,
and Elton Bunch; train bearers, Eari
Smith and George Nixon; jilteo
sweetheart, Irvin Bunch; colored
nurse, Tom Ging.
There will be a number of rela
• tives of the bridal party as well as a
1 few others in the actual wedding.
3 Additional names will appear in next
week’s issue of The Herald.
r Besides the wedding, string music
- will be furnished by Chowan Wood
-1 choppers and a drawing will be held
» to determine the winner of a lovely
quilt being given away by the club.
,- A door prize will also be given away,
[ Lee, extension soil conservationist ot
N. C. State College.
. Lespedeza, he pointed out, is moxe
r nearly adapted to this purpose than
) any other Southern crop. In addi
i tion, there are other reasons why
- this excellent legume could very well
- be grown or. every farm:
i l. Lespedeza enriches the land as
it prevents erosion. (A good crop of
annual lespedeza plowed under helps
■> increase the yields of cotton ana
, com.)
. 2. Lespedeza makes a good hay.
i (A good stand, 10 inches high, will
yield as much as average peavineb.
Kobe, Korean, and Tennessee 76, are
1 good hay varieties.)
i 3. Lespedeza yields heavy a
l mounts of seed and the seed aic
. easily saved. Korean and sericea are
- cut and the seed threshed. Seed oi
t most other lespedezas are caught in
pans attached to mowing machines,
i iSeed that shatter from hay can b«
gathered in the bam.
North Carolina farmers began seea
i ing legume around the middle of Feb
ruary and will continue until the
i first of April, Lee said, in warning
: farmers that it will soon be too late
« to sow lespedeza. Seedings after the
first of April may be destroyed b j
dry weather.
• The State College man explainea
that lespedeza affords an abundance
, of highest quality grazing from July
i to November, during which time
t many other pasture plants are d,or
i mant. A good stand will carry one
animal per acre during the perioa,
and often more if seasons are favor
able. It is used alone and also in
permanent pasture mixtures.

And with its room and ride and
view, you get Ford extra power
with extra thrift, the biggest hy
draulic brakes near its price, and
a lot of fine-car mechanical “fea
tures” found only in a Ford at
low price.
If you are choosing a new car
this year, you’ll do well not to miss
this Ford. And not just because
we say so, but because the facts do!
