Fanners Consider Projects For 1954 Large Number Attend Agricultural Work ers* Council The Chowan County Agricultural Worke Ifjouncil met on Tuesday as-1 temoon'W last week with almost 100! * U P er cen * attendance. Several action projects were considered for 1954. ‘ According to the 1950 Census for Cho wan County, this county has 798 farms. This census shows that 277 farms did not report gardens, 196 farms have no chickens, 635 farms no milk cows, 219 farms no hogs, 537 farms no fruit trees or grape vines This is considered an appalling situ ation in a good agricultural county like Chowan where people should live | at home and board at the same place. “Producing, Conserving and Using the Family Food Supply” was decid ed upon as a paramount operation to work on, particularly with small farms and low income farm families j The ladies decided on their phase of i this activity to involve production of the home food supply, conservation ] and better diets, while the men wili work chiefly on the production side Chowan County is raising approxi mately J 7,000 head of hogs per year. By the use of good Ladino pasture demonstrations have proved that hogs can be produced for between 11 and 12 cents per pound. To meet the needs it is concluded that there is a need of at least 1,000 acres of good Ladino clover pasture for hogs alone. It was decided to make this the second major project and included sufficient good clover and grass pasture to meet the needs of the cattle population. There is considerable interest in the use of anhydrous ammonia and liquid nitrogen as a cheaper source of nitro gen for crops. Also there is consider able interest in the use of chemical weed control. It was decided to join these and make this the third objec tive for the year. Producing Easter lilies is quite a technical enterprise hut one within the bounds of those who are willing to provide the proper equipment and ap ply proper care and management Gordon Boyce, at the Ryland com munity, has a small green house in which he has started 250 Easter lilies i Specialist J.

IMOGENE COCHRANE Home Demonstration Agent Among the many activities included in the girls’ 4-H Club program one of the most popular is the 4-H clothing program. The purpose of this pro gram is to help 4-H girls develop the skills and knowledge necessary to plan, select, construct, assemble and care for suitable clothes for work, | school and social events. The eloth i ing program consists of a number of projects such as clothing achievement, better grooming, and knitting and crocheting. 4-H girls may enroll in either of these projects or all of them I if they wish. ) The Clothing Achievement Project (should include all clothing work done by the 4-H girl. A first year club | member should begin with fitting a sewing box; then, learn to sew by hand and by machine. First year members often make tea towels, lunch eon sets, aprons and other easy to make articles. As their skill increas es, cotton blouses, skirts and simple dresses should be tried. In addition to construction of clothing, the pro ject includes wardrobe planning, selec tion of suitable accessories, care of clothing and personal grooming. Since better groming is a separate project it would work in nicely with the cloth ing achievement project. The better grooming project is open to all 4-H club members. Its purpose is to help boys and girls to develop a more pleasing appearance and per sonality. 4-H members who are in terested in the project should make improvements in personal care of the body and selection of clothes. Girls who are interested in cro cheting and knitting should enter this contest. Remember to make those things that show good taste. Too of ten money, time, and energy are wast ed on making useless articles. Since this contest comes in clothing, only articles related to clothing should be ! considered such as sweaters, bags, j gloves or mittens, stoles, baby gar ments, or socks.
