PAGE TWO Farmers In Bear Swamp Area Using New Drain Ditches Drainage Outlets Prov ing Very Beneficial to Landowners Farmers of the Bear Swamp sec tion of Chowan County have recently begun to utilize the large drainage ditches which were dug through this area several years ago by the Soil Conservation Service in an expanded way. Heretofore, it was only those landowners having land close in to these large drainage outlets who really benefitted to any great extent. For the landowners of the tracts lying back and away drainage benefits have been small, in some cases very small. The lead ditches needed to connect these back or distantly located tracts to the outlet system and to give im proved drainage were missing. The low yields of crops over the last few years as a result of inadequate drain age have served to demonstrate fully the necessity of constructing the missing links—the badly needed lead ditches. It is with the construction of these missing link ditches that several Bear Swamp farmers are now concerning themselves. B. P. Monds, E. B. Boyce and J. P. McNider are leading off in this work by construct ing such a lead ditch for draining 150 acres of their crop land. Their ditch, which is now’ almost complete, aver ages about 15 feet in top width, 3 feet in bottom width and is about 5 feet deep. The ditch length is 1,800 yards. In the planning, surveying, designing and construction of their ditch these farmers were assisted by R. C. Jordan, soil conservationist of Chowan County, and R. M. Dailey, drainage engineer of Northeastern North Carolina. Both of these men are representatives of the Soil Con servation Service which assists farm ers of the Albemarle Soil Conserva tion District in the conservation of water and soil. Other farmers of the Bear Swamp area are in the process of planning and constructing similar lead or out let ditches. According to Mr. Jordan, a survey has just been completed of a ditch for improving the drainage of lands owned by Wilbur Privott, J. El ton Jordan, B. P. Monds and R. H. Hollowell. Mrs. E. B. White and her son, E. B. White, are planning drain age relief measures for their Bear Swamp tracts. B. P. Monds states that several farmers have observed the construc tion of the ditch that he and Messrs. Boyce and MgNider are digging and have praised them highly for their venture. A dragline ditching ma chine is being used for the excavation of this ditch, Dr. R. B.

And I never seen the buyer yet who wouldn’t swap 1 advertising for a nickel a barrel. But if you think a nickel’s worth more than the flavor you get in Silver Mist biscuits, one of us is crazy. Why don’t you let Pa say which one? Sure, he’s a grouchy old cuss, but he lilies bis cuits. Silver Mist biscuits, that is. Because Silver Mist Flour's got what it takes to make biscuits taste good. Flavor. Good-tasting flavor. You can’t tell' the different** by looking at Silver Mist. Looks ordi nary, like most flours, except the sorry ones. Silver Mist just tastes better, when you bake biscuits or pie or eake. Bread and rolls, too, for that matter. Nothing fancy, just good flour. Dog-gone good flour, folks tell me. But maybe that’s because they believe what I tell them. Sd mi'.

The pastor of the church, the ’ | Rev. W. L. Freeman, in announcing [ > the series said, “There is a peculiar urgency about the present situation I I which demands an informed church 1 membership since our problem is 1 basically spiritual. The members of ' the church are at the same time mem bers of the world community, and ; must, as both churchmen and citzens, take seriously the problem of our time. | “Some of our best minds are won dering what is the future for West ern civilization. The editors of Time : speak of our being on ‘final ground’. , The atomic scientists are concerned over the lethargy of the American public. General Douglas MacArthur warns us that ‘Armageddon will be !at our door’. Even the recent vice _ I presidential address of the American Academy of the Advancement of Science closed with an earnest invo cation of Diety. If the Christian principles for which the Church has j historically stood are valid they must be pertinent to our present situation. “In the light of the developments in the international relations during the last few days it is imperative that we endeavor to discover the na ture problem and the possible ’ solution. We expect Dean House and ■ the other speakers in this series to give us some indication as to what we can do about the problem.” Further speakers on successive Sunday evenings in October will be Dr. Robert Leer Humber of Greenville, , Dr. Ellen Winston of Raleigh, Dr. t 1 Sylvester Green of Durham and Dr. Mark of Winston Salem. cariToFthanks We wish to thank and extend our appreciation to our friends and rela ’ tives for their kindness and sympathy ! at the death of Baker Melvin Hollo -1 well, Sr. Also for the use of automo ' biles, beautiful floral offerings and the 1 ministers and pallbearers. ; —Mrs. B.
