Increased Interest In Beef Raising Is Noted In Chowan Two Principal Reasons Advanced By County Agent Overman According to County Agent C. W. Overman, there is increased interest in beef cattle production on a few of the larger farms in Chowan County. Carl Cease recently purchased a large, farm in the Yeopim area and plans to stock it with beef cattle and sheep. M. W. Jackson plans to estab lish a herd of 30 or more breeders. A. M. Forehand of the Cross Roads community has recently added im proved Hereford breeding stock to his farm. Percy Smith of the Rocky Hock community is considering .some sheep production. Although cholera and other diseases have caused considerable loss of hogs on many farms this fall, there is an increased interest in hog production and many are purchasing ad ditional breeders. “This increase in livestock produc tion in Chowan County is occurring due to two reasons,” says Mr. Over man. “First, the reduction in acre age of cash crops coming under allot ments and, second, to better balance the farm program and utilize to a larger extent feed crops on the farm.” Billy GLay Leary President Chowan 4-H County Council First Meeting of Yeai Held at Community House Chowan County’s 4-H Council held its first meeting Wednesday night, October 26, at the Community Home at 7:30 o’clock.

Our family circle has been broken, A link gone from our chain, But though we’ve parted for a while, Dear son, we’ll meet again. God gave us strength to bear it, And courage to fight the blow, But what it meant to lose our son No one will ever know, t’s sweet to know we’ll meet again, Where troubles are no more. And that the one we loved so well Has gone on before. But some sweet day we’ll meet again Beyond the toils and strife And clasp each other’s hand once • more In Heaven, that happy life. What God has done must be for the best, For soon we, too, shall be at rest. And there in some sweet, holy land We’ll walk together, hand in hand. —By His Mother, Mrs. J. C.
