Applications Filed For Soil Program Plans Developed as Fast As Work Schedules Will Permit L. E. Twine, a farmer of the Gli den community of Chowan County, fil ed an application with the Albemarle Soil Conservation District on Tuesday of last week for a soil and water con servation farm plan. Along with many other farms with pending applications, Mr. Twine’s farm will be started through the pro cess of farm planning for conserva tion farming. As a first step in the process a land capability map will be made by a trained soil scientist of the Soil Conservation Service. The land capability map will show the different physical features of the land as they occur on the farm. Land slope, degree of erosion, effective root depth, permeability, rates of the top and the sub soils, drainage condition, and soil texture are among the land characteristic which will be indicated I on the map. On the basis of this land inventory] each parcel of land will be given a; classification. The classification giv en to each land area will indicate the conservation hazards present. Once the conservation hazards are known and pin-pointed as to their location, the conservation treatment needed for protection and improvement of the land will be indicated and determined. All farm planning of needed con servation treatment will be based on ' the land capability map. The actual ! size and water conservation farm plan will be set up on a voluntary basis with the farmer. In Chowan County R. C. Jordan, farm planning technicians of the Soil Conservation Service, is available to assist farmers in the development of) their soil and water conservation farm , plans. Assistance is also available for] applying the planned conservation treatment to the land. Other farmers who have pending applications for soil and water con servation farm plans are: E. S. White, Mrs. H. F. Randolph, Wallace J. Chap pell. Preston Monds, Louis Monds, T. L. Evans. Jr., W. T. Byrum, L. E. Francis, Horace C. White, B. F. Bate man, T. S. Leary, H. E. Lane, C. H. Small, W.

IMOGENE COCHRANE Honje Demonstration Agent This month the Home Demonstra tion Club members have been discuss ing and making plans for their home gardens. Although a good many fami lies grow vegetables for market, we need to have a good home garden with a variety of vegetables for the table and plenty to can and freeze. It has ( been estimated that your garden can contribute from S2OO to SSOO to your income, but what is more important, it contributes to the health of your family. Vegetables are among na ture’s best foods. They furnish valu able materials for building the body i and maintaining health and growth, i While all vegetables are good foods, | some are more valuable than others. ! Some of the most important ones that should be grown in every garden are: 1. Green Vegetables, such as green cabbage, collards, other leafy vege tables. as well as okra, green beans, and green peas build up resistance to certain diseases. They contain miner- 1 ** P.

C„ THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1964. j SAYINGS BONDS CHIEF ! SEES RECORD IN ’54 „ - i -?* flf *■: v - f§ Washington, D. C., January— i Earl O. Shreve, National Director of the U. S. Savings Bonds Division, Treasury Department, has ex pressed his appreciation to ths American people for their record support of the Savings Bonds pro | grass in 1953. In a year-end state- I ment, Mr. Shreve forecast that more series E and H Savings Bonds | would be sold in 1954 than in the past record postwar year. He said further that aU indications pointed to a record sale of savings bonds to people who planned to buy their individual 1954 annual maximum of $20,000 E Bonds or H Bonds during January and February. He added that hla confidence in 1954 Savings Bonds sales reaching new highs was based on the popularity of the PayroU Savings Plan with many millions of employees across the country, and the enthusiastic Bupport given to the Bond-A- Month Plan by banks. Mr. Shreve, formerly president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, and sales vice-president of the General Electric Company, also reported that owners of 75 per cent of about $lO billion in E Bonds that have so far matured are re taining these bonds to take advan tage of the automatic ten-year ex tension privilege. als for building blood and bones. They also contain roughage which is need ed to aid digestion. 2. Yellow Vegetables, such as car - .ots, sweet potatoes (yellow-flesh o varieties), yellow squash, and yellow com, like the green vegetables, build up resistance to certain diseases and help prevent colds and night blind ness. They also are good blood and bone builders. 3. Dried Peas and Beans are good muscle and blood-btJilding foods. They are the best vegetables to be used in the place of meat. 4. Potatoes, Irish and Sweet, pro vide energy for doing more work. 5. Tomatoes rank as one of the best (protective foods and, along with can taloupes and watermelons, they may be used as a substitute for fruits. If you are already growing all of these why not try some new crops such as asparagus, broccoli, or cauli flower. Where will you locate your garden? Choose the best available location as far as convenience (not too far from the house, please) soil, and sunlight are concerned. What varieties will you plant? Plant recommended varieties for this area. These varieties pave been tried and proven—don’t risk crop failure by nlantirg something that looks good in a seed catalog. You can secure pomes of recommended varieties from the Farm and Home Agents’ Office. If you haven’t planted your fruit trees, grape vines and berry plants such as strawberries, raspberries, and dewberries, now is the time to do it. j The roots will be growing during the winter even though the tops are not. I Just for home use 100 strawberry plants should provide an adequate I supply of berries. Why not plant a . few rows in your garden and culti-*! vate them along with the vegetables.
