PAGE EIGHT No Change Effected In Soil Conservation Group fa Chowan Joe A. Webb, Jr., Win ner In Last Week’s Voting The annual election for choosing the members of the Chowan County Soil Conservation Supervisor’s Com mittee was held last week, reports Lloyd C. Bunch, present chairman of the Chowan committee. Mr. Bunch • states that according to the results of the election no change will be es- 1 fected in the Chowan committee 1 membership. Joe A. Webb, Jr., of the Yeopim community, who is serv ing a one-year term which would have expired on January 1, 1949, was reelected for a period of three years. R. H. Hollowell of the Small’s Cross Roads community is the other mem ber of the Chowan committee. Ac cording to the committee chairman, there were two candidates in last week’s election, the other candidates being John N. Bunch of the Yeopim community. The election was con ducted according to the requirements of the Soil Conservation District’s Law of North Carolina. Mr. Bunch announces that the new committee will have its first meeting as soon as possible after January 1, 1949. The chairman of the Chowan County committee will automatically become a member of the Albemarle Soil Conservation District Supervisor’s committee. Lloyd C. Bunch is also chairman of this committee at the present time. Other counties com posing the Albemarle Soil Conserva tion District are Camden, Currituck, Pasquotank and Perquimans. The Albemarle Soil Conservation District is responsible for the soil conservation program in these five counties. Under a memorandum of understanding with the Soil Conser vation Service farm planning tech nicians are furnished to assist farm ers in these counties with their soil conservation problems. The actual soil conservation work is accomplish- ed through soil conservation farm plans. Mr. Bunch urges farmers to seek the assistance which is being offered them through the facilities of the Albemarle District. He states that in the past year many farmers have been assisted through their farm plans in the application of such practices as group drainage projects, individual farm and field drainage, wind and water erosion control, per manent pasture seedings, wildlife area improvement, forests improve ment and protection, - crop rotations, and protective winter cover plant ings. In the opinion of Mr. Bunch, fine work has been done in all of the five counties this year. He feels that the accomplishments of this program have been largely due to the efforts of the representatives of the Soil Conservation Service co operating with the Albemarle Dis trict and to the assistance and coop eration of the Production Marketing Administration and the N. C. Ex tension Service. The district chairman expresses the hope that these accomplishments in Soil Conservation will continue on an even wider scale in 1949.
