Examples of Work Done

\j£ ministration ,
Ed Morgan of the Farmers Home
Administration last week took some 1
of the agricultural workers of this 1
area on a tour of four farms with j
which he is working in Chowan and
Perquimans Counties. First visited
was Mr; and Mrs. Carroll Williams,
of Route 1, Hertford, who are work
ing under a farm ownership loan. Mr.
WBliams is carrying over 2,000 lay
ers which are well-housed and appear
to be receiving good care and manage
ment. His six brood sows and their
off-springs constitute largely a live
stock program for which he is pro
viding good clover pasture. His field
crops are com and soybeans, with
some peanuts and cotton. Mr. and
Mrs. Williams are doing a grand job.
The second stop was at the John
and Roy Bunch farm, on Route 2,
Eden ton. .These two brothers are Im
proving their farm under an operating
loan. The main dwelling has been
renovated, an old cotton gin building
has been tom down and the timber
used in constructing a storage bam
and an implement shed. Drag line
ditches have been put in under the
supervision of the soil conservationist.
The Bunch brothers are working to
ward a herd of 25 Hereford cattle and
more hogs, converting their farm
largely to a livestock farm.
The third stop was with Jasper
Hassell of Route 2, Edenton. Jasper
is working under a farm development
loan. A new concrete floored storage
bam and feed room have been con
structed. Fifty head of good grade
sheep were obtained last year and a
sheep shed constructed. Jasper and
his companion, Betsy, are working to
ward a livestock farm consisting prin
cipally of a large laying flock, sheep
and .swine, or beef cattle.
The fourth stop was at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Proctor, on
Route 3, Hertford. The Proctors care
fully planned their new farm home.
With Mr. Proctor supervising the
work and doing a lot of the work him
self,-they have a modem dwelling
which appeared convenient and attrac
tive in every respect for perhaps
about one-half or less the normal
contract price. Mr. Proctor is grad
ually enlarging his farm operation
and he and his wife and children are
well on the road to some real ex
cellent rural living.
These are four examples of the
igood work being done by the Farm
ers Home Administration. Other ag

could. These examples go to show
that worthy families, willing to work
and apply themselves, can, with fi
nancial assistance, obtain and develop
good rural living.

About Pedestrians j

Almost one-third.of the 248 pedes- <
trians killed on North Carolina streets i
and highways during 1952 were over <
65 years of age, a study by the State 1
Department of Motor Vehicles re- !
veals. 1
In the age bracket 55-64 years, 19 1
men and eight women were killed i
while walking in North Carolina last ;
year.
In the age bracket, 66-74 years, 28
men and five women were killed. In
the age bracket of 75 years and over,
16 men and three women met death
while walking.
Dairymen Promote
Artificial Breeding
Officers and directors of North
Carolina’s 68 artificial breeding as
sociations have set aside this week
(August 17-22) as Artificial Breed
ing Promotion Week. If you’re al
dairy farmer who isn’t already using
the services of one of the state’s as
sociations, you’re likely to be contact
ed this week by a neighbor who is
completely sold on the use of semen
from “the best bulls in the world.”
One of the highlights of the week
long promotion campaign is the all
day program tomorrow at North Car
olina’s artificial breeding stud farm,
th American Breeders Service, Ashe
ville. Many of the breeding associa
tions over the state have chartered
buses and plan to send representa
tives. But the event is open to any
interested persons and officials of the
stud have extended an invitation to
the general public.
Principal speaker at the event will
' be Dr. Vic Rice, head of the depart
ment of animal husbandry at the Uni
i versity of Massachusetts, an interna
: tional authority on animal breeding.
Artificial breding has made great
. strides in North Carolina over the
! past several years. It has been re
sponsible, perhaps alone for upping
: the state’s annual milk production to
■ something farmers are proud of. Only
i semen from bulls that have proven
l their ability to sire high producing
■ heifers is used by the North Caro
i lina stud. This year alone some 50,-
* 000 dairy calves in the state will be
dropped as a result of artificial breed
ing. This should go a long way to
-5' ward increasing the state’s milk pro
- duction, bringing North Carolina a
- little closer to its goal of self-suffi
■ 1 ciency in milk production.

Weekly Devotional
Column
By James Mackenzie J
Since the eloquent Dr. Lee Rober
son became pastor of the small, re
spectable, Highland Park Baptist,
Church, Chattanooga, Tennessee* a
few years ago, it has become the fast
est growing church in its denomina
tion, and today boasts a Sunday
School attendance of close to four
thousand. In addition to this, thirty
five new churches have been started
in the Chattanooga area as a result
of Dr. Roberson’s ministry. Further,
he has founded there a University, a
Theological Seminary, and a Bible In
stitute.
For two years now, thanks to Dr.
Roberson’s kindness, I have been re
ceiving his church paper, the “Evan
gelist”, through the mail. In a re
cent issue there appeared a sermon
by him on “Revival” which I would
like to condense here, since I feel he
is an outstanding authority on the
subject, and also since I feel that if
there is one_ thing Edenton needs
above everything else, even more
than it needs a swimming pool or a
garment factory (and I’m for them
both, especially the swimming pool),
even more than it needs the Tea Pot,
is genuine, old-fashioned, Holy Spirit
Revival.
Dr. Roberson writes: “A revival is
an exciting, stirring season among
God’s people. It is a season when
the snows of indifference melt away.
. It is a time when the frost of for
malism vanishes. It is a period when
. people get disturbed about themselves
and others.
[ “Surely God wants every church to
, be a church with a revival spirit. It
, is in the midst of revival that Chris
, tians keep in tune with God, and sin
, ners are convicted and converted.
Yet we grieve that so few Christians
I are touched and moved by the power

|of God. We grieve that so many are
apparently convicted, but not saved.
Men bowed beneath the weight of sin,
say, ‘Yes, we know that we are lost,
and we know that we should be saved,
but not now’. Conviction is not sal
vation. A man may be thoroughly
convicted of his lost condition, but
still be unsaved.
“In the light of this we need a new
vision of the world’s need. We
(Christians) need to see the multi
•tudes of earth who are unsaved. We
need a new awareness of the awful
ness of eternal hell. We need to be
reminded that Christ is the sinner’s
only hope, the only one who can save
and satisfy. The world cannot bestow
peace, and those who run after the
world are trying to get more out of
it than there is in it. There is noth
ing in the world for the soul—no last
ing satisfaction, no permanent peace.
Christ is the only hope for man be
yond this life; without Him the dark
ness of hell engulfs the soul.
“A hundred years ago a man was
swept down the Niagara River toward
the Falls. Just above the Falls, on
the American side, he managed to se
cure a foothold on a rock. Soon on
the shore thousands gathered together
to devise some plan to deliver him.
But as the hours ticked swiftly by his
strength began to ebb, and at length,
■ before the horror stricken multitude,
. hte was swept to his death in the cruel
i water.
, “Thousands gathered because of
, concern over a man’s body. They
: wanted to do what they could. But if
someone had announced that at Niag
j ara Falls a man’s soul was imperiled,
• very few would have gathered togeth
| er. Yet the soul is the eternal part
of man; that which happens to the
. body is as nothing to that which can
, overtake the soul without Christ,
j Therefore pray for concern; pray for
a passion for souls; pray for a broken

God has given us His recipe for re
vival in His Word: humility, prayer,
repentance (II Chronicles 7:14). This
is the price of revival. When the
time comes that we in Edenton who
are Christians are willing to pay that
price, then God will send revival.
