THE CHOWAN HERALI>, EDENTON, N. C„ THURSDAY. DECEMBER 17, 1942
Overman Urging
Growing Os Better
Cotton Next Year
Seed Recom
mended to Produce
Longer Staple
1
“Although the government has a
large surplus of cotton on hand at!
1 present, fanners are urged to grow)
: cotton of longer staple in 1943,” says'
i C. W. Overman, Chowan County farm
j I agent.
“A large portion of the surplus
I cotton that the government now has
' in storage is of one inch or less in
' staple, he do not have a very large
surplus of cotton tnat is over one
inch in staple length. Therefore, all
• cotton growers are urged to grow va
/ reties that will pi ounce cotton of
[.lover one inch in staple length in 1943,
"Now is the time to begin planning
for better cotton in 1943. The first
step is to get good seed of a variety
that will produce tile cotton staple
, length needed. Some of such are.
strains, of Coker variety, Mexican Big
8011. Merritt’s White Gold, and there
are several others. Seed that are as
much as four or five generations
from the breeder are beginning to run |
down. These seed are producing
some cotton that is of one inch sta
ple .'length. By pi.., i..g orders for
cotton seed . now, farmers should be
able to ootain good certified seed at
reasonable prices. If v.e wait to pur
chase our seed until planting time
we will, most likely, run into such
difficulty as not having them to get
new seed,, not being able to get seed j
when we need them. and. finding seed !
t dealers sold out.
I “Several good cotton farmers ini
Chowan County should obtain enough I
i seed of a good variety, direct from
) the breeder, to plant a sufficient
i acreage to supply seed needed for
'j 1941. These seed fields should be -
: planted away from other fields so
there will not be cross poliuation.
These cotton farmers should have
their cotton fields certified in order
j that they may have certified seed for
!sale next fall. Applications for seed
| certification must be in the County
Agent’s office by July 15.
"Your county agent will be glad to
! cooperate With cotton farmers in mak
ing cooperative seed orders for seed
direct from the breeders. Seed should
be ordered at once before the seed
breeders’ supplies are exhausted.” I
I School Ends Friday
Until January 4th
Two Weeks Holiday For
Teachers and Students
In Edenton Unit
Fdenton schools will close next j ■
Friday for the Christmas holidays,;
and will not reopen until Monday,;
January 4, thus providing a two)
weeks’ holiday for both teachers and j
students. |
j
There was no holiday allowed overi,
Thanksgiving, dire principally .to the;
transportation problem making it in- ,
convenient for teachers to spend the I
time at their homes, all of whom pre-I ,
ferred to remain ami teach school),
and secure a longer holiday over ,
Christmas. •
Then, too, Superintendent John A. ,
Holmes realizes that attendance next
week, especially in the high school, ,
will be greatly reduced due to quite a
number of the students taking tem
porary employment in the various i
stores during the Christmas rush. ]

J. R. Griffin Loses
But Finds Money|
John It. Griffin, local grocer, had
two surprising experiences late last
week. On Thursday morning he re
ported to the police that he had been
robbed of a bag contain.ng between
! SSOO and S6OO, which he said was on
the counter in his store when several
customers entered. He waited on
the customers and when he went for
the money it was gone. Three Neg
roes were questioned separately by
the police, but so straight were their
stories that they were released.
Several days later Mr. Griffin re
ported to the police that he had
found the money in a feed box, the
bag making its appearance as mys
teriously as it disappeared.

Rotary Club May Not
Miss Two Meetings]
i
At last week’s Rotary meeting it
was decided to abandon the meetings j
on December 24 and 31, due to the j
Christmas and New Year hoi days,
but this action may be somewhat/ re
scinded at today’s meeting. ' Fori
many years ,it has been the custom
of the Club to call off the meeting ]
nearest Christmas Day and contri-■
bute the, cost of dinner to the Stock
ing Fund.
The Club had an extra call this year
to make a contribution to Rotary In
ternational for the relief of Itotar
inns and their families in war-torn
sections of Europe, so that the Ko
tarians voted to call off the New
Year meeting and contribute the
cost of the dinner for that purpose.
However, conditions in Edenton
niake it unnecessary this year to raise |
funds for the Stocking Fund, so that
it is altogether likely that only next
week’s meeting wll be abandoned.
The Club will take some action on
the matter at today’s meeting.
