Dealing With Soil
Conservation
“North Carolina bankers are in
vesting about SSOO in land,” announc
ed W Herbert White at Reidsville
this week. “Dividends,” Wlfite con
tinued, "will continue to come from
this investment as long as we have
people iti this State who eat food
and wear clothes.”
Mr. White is President of the North
Carolina Association of Soil Conser
vation District Supervisors, and was
referring to the speaking contest on
soil conservation sponsored by the
North Carolina Hankers Association.
According to his opinion the bankers,
who are usually sound thinkers, have
really "done themselves proud” this
time, and that in sponsoring this
contest they have topped all records
in the making of wise investments.

Ma v Warn of Disordered
Kidney Action
M.vfom life with its hurry and worry,
irrog tt-ir habits, improper eating and
drink ng—its risk of exposure and infec
tion - throws heavy strain on the work
of th ? kidneys. They are apt to become
over-taxed and fail to filter excess acid
and other impurities from the life-giving
blood.
You may suffer nagging backache,
headache, dizziness, getting up nights,
leg pains, swelling—feel constantly
tired, nervous, all worn out. Other signs
of k'dney or bladder disorder are gome
timed burning, scanty or too frequent
urinal on.

tinued, “since the passage of the I
North Carolina Soil Conservation Dis- I
|tricts Law in 1 Which will mean
as much to the future welfare of our
people as this backing we are getting
( from the bankers.”
The final round of the contest in
Elkin on April 3rd marked the end
of the second of such contests among
high school students. It was started
in 1946 with ten counties taking part. (
This year 45 counties were eligible
to compete, and White says he feels
fairly confident now that it will be
made statewide next year.
Figures have been published which
indicate the extent to which public i
interest in soil conservation has been (
aroused. “At, best,” White said, “we (
can only make estimates. Hut when i
some 170 chambers of commerce, civic (
clubs, firms and individuals, practi- ]
cally ftll of them non-farming people, t
come forward and offer prize money j
to promote soil saving, then I say ‘it ;
is good.’ Furthermore, 1 wish to <
commend the Hankers Association t
and its officials for their vision of the 1 s
need for more soil conservation in t
this State. And I am sure I speak i
for every supervisor in 84 counties. I,
“Because of the contest at least; <
half a million of our citizens in all ]
walks o's life know more about com h
servation of soil and moisture. They i
know more about how wealth starts ji
on the land and how everyone pays 1 1
the bill when soil is washed from our 11
fields. Time,” White concluded, “is j
running out on us. We have beenjl
fiddling while Rome burns.’ I think i
the bankers have started something c
more than worth while.”

Electric Contest
For 4-H Clubbers
County Agents Will Be
In Charge of Contest
In Chowan
Final plans for the participation of
4-H Club boys and girls of Chowan
County in a Better Methods Electric

County Agent Robert S. Marsh; Miss

ant Home Agent; W. J. Ridout, Jr.,

tor of the contest, and P. (1. Morri
sette, representing the Virginia Elec
tric & Power Company.
Boys and girls entering the contest,
now under way, must make a detailed
study of a farm chore and make a re
port and recommendations on how
|this chore can be simplified by the use
of electricity. The contest is designed
to stimulate the use of more modern
farm methods for better production at
less cost in time and effort.
Participating in this territorial con-!
test are 16 North Carolina counties
receiving their principal supply ofi
i electricity from the Virginia Electric
& Power Company and the coopera
tives it serves. Two winners—one
j boy and one girl—will be chosen from j
each of the 16 counties to attend a|
4-H Club Electric Congress scheduled j
to .be held at N. C. State College in !
October. This congress will climax i
the territorial contest. i
Expenses of the congress are being
paid by the Virginia Electric & Power
Company, with each county winner re
ceiving a two-day, all-expense trip to
Raleigh.
One winner from each county also
will receive from the VVestinghouse
Educational Foundation a gold-filled
medal of honor. The Virginia Elec
tric & Power Company will award two
first prizes of SIOO scholarships to the
boy and girl winning in the electric
congress in Raleigh. Two second
prizes of engraved gold watches also
will be awarded by the Virginia Elec
tric & Power Company at the con
gress.
Winners at the electric congress
will be eligible to compete with other
winners in the State for an all-ex
pense trip to the National 4-H Club
Congress to be held in Chicago in
December.
Farm and Home Agents are in
charge of the contest in this county.
They expressed the hope that ail
Chowan County 4-H Club boys and
girls will participate. Details of the
contest will be presented to 4-H Club
members at meetings this month.
