Agriculture Board planning Five-Year f Program In County (Special Emphasis Being If Placed on 4-H Club Work Chowan County Board of Agricul ture has met the last two Friday nights for the purpose of cooperating with the county and assistant agents in program planning. It was deter mined to establish plans on the basis »f a 6-year program. Under En gineering, drainage was selected as the most serious problem and suf ficient shelter room for housing farm machinery placed second. Field Crops—Average corn yielcj Df 40 bushels per acre; Peanuts —Im- provement of our Jumbo type var iety, at least a 3 year rotation for peanuts, and work for a N. C. Ex periment Station. Cotton-r-one var iety, system for better seed -use, and i it least 50% of growers picking cotton on sheets rather than packing iU in bags. Increase in the produc tion of small grain. At least one good acre of permanent pasture on every farm. Under Animal Husbandry—Beef cattle need to be improved by herd Soling and using better bulls.. Hogs should be increased 25% with im provement in breeding stock. At least 600 family cows placed on the farms in Chowan County and the establishment of one Grade A Dairy. Forestry—Reforestation of 1,000 acres of cut-over bushy land. ' Syste matic thinning of at least 500 acres of timber. Proper fire protection measures provided on at least 5,000 acres of timber land. Selective prac tices on at least 1,000 acres. , 4-H Club work was thought to be the most important phase of the Earm program. Several of the Board members stated that the boys and girls are flexible in their thinking and lend themselves more readily to practicing better farm and home methods than older people. In train ing the younger people, farmers and farm women of tomorrow are being trained. It was felt that the 4-H program ip the County needs to be revised to the extent that it will hold the in terest of club members as they grow >lder, that the program should be go arranged that it will interest more boys and girls, that a definite project working agreement should exist be tween the member and his parents sa that the club member in every HRe realizes the profits or a definite portion of the profits from his or her project. It is .hoped to revise the 5-year program .of work and put it into a usable form during the next two or three meetings. Laws are always useful to persons of property, and hurtful to those who havenohe. —Rousseau. jjH LAMB It’s A Dilly! ; The Following Has Just Been Received From | Nelly Don Dress Contest !
