legation Oft Farms Creating Interest Pour Chowan Farmers Plan to Irrigate For 1954 Crops Irrigation is a matter of consider able interest to a number of Chowan farmers with whom the Soil Conser vation Service is working. Among this number are four S. C. S. coopera tors who are already making prepara tions for irrigating certain portions of their row crops during the 1954 crop season. E. L. Ward, a farmer of the Eden ton community, has enlarged the ca pacity of his irrigation pond. A drag line was engaged to dig the additional MO!) THEATRE I EDENTON, N. C.

The job has been com pleted and more water will be avail able for future operations. In 1953 Mr. Ward irrigated 12 acres 1 of market corn, 3 acres of tobacco, , and 4 acres of garden vegetables. According to Mr. Ward, his irriga tion operations on these crops brought 1 increased yields sufficient to cover the cost of his water supply pond and his irrigation pump and pipe. Should 1954 come dry, as did 1953, he feels that he again can prevent substantial loss es from crops which he contemplates irrigating. Louis E. Francis, another farmer of the Edenton community, completed the excavation of a 50’ x 160’ water sup ply pond last week. This pond is located in the swamp to the rear of his home farm. It will be used to irrigate an area of approxi mately 10 acres. As dry as it now is, Mr. Francis re ports that this pond is standing three fourths full of irrigation water. Mr. Francis and his son, Mr. Thom as Francis, are now engaged in exca vating a sizeable pond on the Mexico Road near to their home sites. This pond—if it proves to be a successful one—will likewise be used for irriga tion. In addition the Francis’ contemplate that it will serve as a welcomed source of water for fire fighting pur poses. The fire hazard to their farm buildings will be substantially re duced. W. E. Bond, also an S. C. S. co operator of the Edenton area, has des ignated 25 acres of his farm for irri gation in 1954. He is planning to es tablish facilities for wetting approxi mately 12 acres of tobacco and 13 acres of market com. R. C. Jordan, the farm planning technician working with the Soil Con servation Service in Chowan County, reports that land capability maps and topographic maps have been made of the proposed irrigation areas on both the Francis and Bond farm. These maps will be needed and used, he said, in the procedure of designing irrigation systems which will provide water in adequate amounts for the different elevations and the different soils of the areas to be wetted. That irrigation system needed to supply the different soil needs and that of economy in initial cost and cost of operation will finally be de signed and fitted to each farm, he stated.

Wilhoite, plan to take i a trip to Williamsburg, Va., on No- ; • vember 16, 1953. The purpose of this trip is to fa ■ miliarize the students with “Eigh • teenth Century” life in Williamsburg, ■ Va., with the study of the English • Colonies in America today. The places the two sections plan to ! visit are: 1. The Magazine and Guardhouse, a ' sturdy octagonal building erected in ■ 1715 on the urgent request of Goy , ernor Alexander Spotswood for a sub -1 stantial brick building to house the ! arms and ammunition dispatched from i the Tower of London by order Queen Ann for the defense of the royal col , ony. ; 2. The Public Gaol—located on the ; northern side of Nicholson Street, and s is referred as a “strong, sweet prison” t by an old Chronicler. 3. Bruton Parish Church—founded > on the comer of Duke of Gloucester 1 Street and Palace Green. It stands 1 as a strong link between the past and - the present. : 4. The Capitol—stands at the east ern end of Duke of Gloucester Street. It is one of the chief exhibition build ings of Colonial Williamsburg. 5. The Governor’s Palace—recon l structed on its old foundation, the pal ace—symbol of the power and pres- I tige of the Crown in Colonial Vir ■ ginia—stands once more in a com : manding position at the northern end ■ of the Palace Green. i We plan to visit many other places that we do not have listed. We think that through the visit of | Williamsburg, it will give each stu-j dent a deep sense of the debt-we owe to the courage and the faith of our forefathers. We wish sincerely that every stu-' dent could have the proud privilege of standing on these grounds and could walk through those buildings. Sub - District M. Y. F. Held At Evans Church The Perquimans-Chowan M. Y. F. Sub-district held its regular monthly meeting at Evans Church, Monday, October 19. An inspiring program was rendered, which was opened by the use of the hymn “Sweet Hour of Prayer”. The Rev. C. H. Beale led in prayer. Mabel Wilson read the Scrip ture, after which the Evans M. Y. F. sang “Wonderful Words of Life” and “Are You Able?” after which offer ing was taken. Mrs. Evans then gave a very interesting message on “Faith.” The sub-district was then closed by singing the hymn “O Zion Haste.” Bobby Jones, the sub-district’s new president, over the meeting. Peg gy Turner, the sub-district’s new sec retary, read the minutes and called the roll. Evans won the banner for having a 100 per cent membership. The sub-district was sorry to report Woodland could no longer be present at its meetings. It was decided that the sub-district' would meet at Edenton next month, November 16. The sub-district urges every local M. Y. F. have a 100 per cent next month.
