Implant Meeting For Peanut Growers At Scotland Neck Chowan Farmers Urged To Attend Tuesday of Next Week There will be a very imjportant pea nut growers meeting alt the high echoed building in Scotland Neck, N. IC., on Tuesday afternoon, February 24, at 2:30 o'clock, says Lonnie R. Harrell, president of the Chowan County Farm Bureau. Mr. Harrell states that this is in accord with an announcement just received from R. Flake Shaw, executive vice president of the N. C. Farm Bureau Federation. The purpose of this meeting is to consider improvements in the peanut program for 1953. “It is very im portant that a representative group of farmers from each of the peanut pro ducing counties attend this meeting,” says Mr. Harrell, "and I feel it is very necessary for as many ChOwan County growers to be there as possi ble. We will have a peanut program whether we in Chowan County help to formulate it or not. Ts we help to formulate the program, we should expect bo have it nearer like we want, but if we don’t participate in making the- program, we will have to take what someone else gives us whether we like it or not.” Mr. Harrell suggests that in cases where farmers do not make up a full carload they might meet at the Coun ty Agent’s office and go together from there. In this case, farmers are urged to meet promptly at 12:45 and be ready to leave at 1 o’clock Tuesday. Lions Club Preparing For Annual Minstrel (Continued From Page One) about 315.00 per month”.
