Say Price Is Too Low
And Labor Presents
Problem
Chowan County farmers, in coop
eration with County 'Agent C. W. Ov
erman are giving some consideration
to additional cash creeps for utilizing
some of the acres taken out of allot
ted crops. Growing tomatoes for can
ning has been given careful considera
tion and last week a final conclusion
was reached o this proposition. Cho
wan farmers are not interested to any
extent in producing cannery tomatoes
at the proposed contract price basis
of 5/8 basket, 40c for U. S. Ones and
25c for U. S. Twos. Their conclusion
is that the price is too low. They an
ticipate insufficient labor for harvest
ing the crop as it comes off at the
same time as cantaloupes, watermel
ons, some other vegetable crops and
tobacco, and also they don’t believe
'the price is sufficient to make the
crop profitable. .•
A fanners’ meeting was held at
Chowan Community Building and
tßocky Hock School on Thursday
nights respectively. At these
meetings the cannery tomato propo
sition was definitely decided on as be
ing out of the picture. Plans were
instigated for improving the organi
zation so demonstration work in the
county and making plans. At the

School on the night of February 21st.
“This orchestra has gained a wide
reputation,” said Mrs. Wisely. “The
State supports it in the form of a sub
sidy, in the event that it fails to make
expenses, somewhat similar to the
Lost Colony. However, we are sup
posed to guarantee the sale of around
375 tickets. We hope, therefore, that
your membership will support our es
, forts to insure a return of the or
chestra next year.”

wan County, rehabilitation of blind
persons being a major project which
[ the local club has sponsored for sev-
