Chowan Planning I Seeding Program I 60,000 Pounds Winter Legume Seed Ordered From AAA Office , According to County Agent C. W. Overman, Chowan County is planning a good winter legume seeding pro l Hfgram for next fall. Orders have al ready been placed with the State AAA office for the following seeds to be distributed as grants for next fall: 16,000 pounds of crimson clover, 20,000 pounds of Austrian winter peas, 14,000 pounds of hairy vetch, and 10,000 pounds of annual rye grass. Two local seed dealers have agreed to handle these government seed by the service fee plan, and it is ex pected that the winter legume pro gram will do much toward adding * nitrogen to the soil for growing 1943 crops in the face of a shortage ot nitrogenous fertilizers. Mr. Overman also reports the “Price Regulations and Controlling the Cost of Living” program as being * taken to the rural people successfully •by the neighborhood, leaders. Re ports have been received from ap proximately 75 per cent of the lead ers, who say they have had good re sponse from the people contacted and feel certain that the program will do njuch toward educating the people in planning for the future under the war program. Butter bean growers in general in Chowan have not practiced control methods on the Mexican bean beetle, according to the County Agent.

Fourth Os July hi State Celebrated As “Victory Day” Governor Issues Procla mation For Suitable Programs Victory Day celebration in each of the 100 counties of North Carolina is the goal of the State Office of Civilian Defense. Ben Douglas, State OCD Director, said that in accordance with Gover nor Broughton’s proclamation of the Fourth of July as Victory Day, he was urging chairmen of Civilian De fense in all 100 counties to proceed immediately with the organization of suitable Victory Day programs which would bring about a demonstration of the scope of the volunteers organized for home front defense. “I regard as most fortunate this opportunity to combine patriotic celebration of the birthdate of our independence with recognition of the, vast army enlisted in home front pro tection and of parents of men and women now on duty with our armed service,” said Douglas in announcing that in a number of places the Civil ian Defense organization was plan ning a parade on the morning of the Fourth immediately preceeding Town meetings and the meetings would be followed by picnics or barbecues. Douglas said the idea was rapidity because of limitations on travel that would prevent many people from making customary Fourth of July excursions and would give them something to do at home. The American Legion and other patriotic and civic organizations will join the Civilian Defense organiza tion in participation.
