SECTION TWO—]
New Types Peanuts
Are In Great Demand
Seed Allotted to Chowan
County Used By Four
Growers
■ i
Seed of two new varieties of pea- 1
nuts are in great demand. The N. C. i
1 and N. C. 2 varieties of peanuts de
veloped by the' North Carolina Ex- j
periment Station were released for
certified seed production in 1953. Seed
allotted to Chowan County were used 1
by four growers. Bristoe Perry, of j
Advance community, grew two acres j
and Bertram Hollowed, of Cross Hoads
grew three acres of N. C. 2s. T. C.
Byrum grew ten acres and A. M. Fore- !
hand three acres of N. C. Is in Cross
Roads community.
The N. C. 1 variety is a bunch va- j
riety and averaged over 2,400 pounds
per acre. The official grade showed
67 per cent sound meat kernels, 35 per
cent extra large kernels, 62 per cent
fancy grade. The N. C. 2 variety is
a semi-runner type but more on the
hunch; type. Bristoe Perry made a
yield of 2,457 pounds per acre. Ber
tram Hollowed had a poor stand with
a yield of 1,400 pounds per acre. The
official grade was about the same as
the N. 0. 1 with about 5 per cent
more extra large kernels.
Chowan County is a Jumbo Runner
area and growers are slow to try
these new varieties. T. C. Bvrum and
A. M. Forehand plan to plant their j
entire crop to N. C. Is in three foot ‘
rows this year. Mr. Hollowed and
Mr. Perry plan to expand their pro
duction of X. C. 2s in forty inch rows.
Other peanut counties were notified
Chowan had a few bags Os N. C, 2s
and 150 bags of N. C. Is for sale.
The demand has exceeded the supply
by many times.

. PNEUMONIA
By Science Features
The effects of pneumonia today
! aren’t what they used to be. The
\ mortality rate from this acute res- 1
piratory disease has been reduced j
by more than ?5 per cent from the i
200,000 deaths that occurred an-|
i nually in the United States two]
„ av.,,. generations ago. j

I best tools for
this lifesaving
lf»\ work have been
Wl/U/l: Vrfst, tho antibiotics.
Two doctors in the Philadelphia
General Hospital conducted a series
of tests with children who had
pneumonia. They found that the
antibiotic terramycin was easy to
administer and effective in all of j
the cases. Os the children tested, |
14 had lobar pneumonia and 31 !
were infected with broncho-pneu-1
monia, the two most common types.,
These types of pneumonia are j
caused by a minute organism called ;
: the pneumococcus which travels j
through the respiratory system to
th' lungs, where it multiplies and
infec' • the air sacs and lobes.
|i Among the rarer types are strep- ;
I pneumonia and staph-pneumonia,
1 which usually come from complica
ti ms of tonsillitis and influenza.
There is also virus pneumonia,
•which can only be overcome by |
broad-range antibiotics like
terramycin.
The first symptoms of pneumonia
are the same as those of a common
cold—cough, phlegm, fever and
aches. It is best that prompt atten
tion be given to these symptoms
as patients treated during the first
3 days are most likely to recover.

Jesus is coming again:
Early one bleak, dismal morning, j
about ten years ago, a small group
of interned American missionaries;
looked up to the sky to watch a for-!
mat ion of American army planes fly;
overhead. They had been prisoners |
[ of the Japanese for about three years
,now, and even this .small tie with home
helped compensate somewhat for the
ihardship's they had been forced to en
dure Suddenly, the doors of the
planes opened, and soon the heavens
were overcast with Prove; young
American Gls—parachuting to earth
—-corning to.rescue their fellow emto
trymen from the hands of the. enemy.
“En nt ver forget that sight’ - , said orn
of the ' missionaries later. “Seeing
those courageous soldiers, coming to
save us. to take us home, made that
•’ay the happiest day of my life. Arm
THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY, APRIL 1, 1954.
yet, I’m looking forward to another,
even happier day, and that’s the day
I shall look up into the heavens and
see my Saviour coming back again,
even as He ascended—a day in which
I shall be caught up to meet Him in
the air, and taken home to be with
Him forever.”
He’s coming back again,
He’s coming back again;
He went away,
But not to stay ;
He’s coming back again!
Yes, He’s coining hack again. This
is the promise of the Scripture, aim
the Blessed Hope of all Christians.
Jesus is coming again! And what’s
more, those who know their Bible's!
best tell us His coining is not far off.
Jesus said, “And when these things
begin to come to pass, then look up..!
and lift your heads; for your redemp
tion draweth nigh” (Luke 21,28).
What things ? Jesus lists them in this
same chapter;
1. Many shall come in the name of
Christ and say “I am Christ.”
2. Ye shall hear of wars and com
motions.
3. Nation snail rise against nation,
and kingdom against kingdom.
4. Great earthquakes in diverse
place?
5. Famines and pestilences.
6. I’er.-eeution of God’s people.
I 7. One member of a family will be
betrayed into the hands of the,enemy
by another member of the same fami
; >y
8. Jerusalem wjjl.be the center of
military activity.
(All the above signs of Christ’?
Second Coming are found in Luke 21:
7-20).
9. Increase of cold, dead formalism
j in the churches.
| 10. Doctrinal error; especially in the
form of denying the supernatural.
11. Worldwide-mission effort.
12. Political changes. Especially have
Bible scholars always looked for the
rise of political materialism, which is
typified in present-day communism.
13. Increase of travel.
14. Increase of knowledge.

Christ is near at hand—and we find j;
them all fulfilled in today’s world.
When our Lord returns, all Chris

1 and “so shall we ever be with the
Lord.” But there will be no warning j
of His coming other than what I have/
given here—it will not be announced i

meet Him. Therefore, we are solemn-!

excessive heat, 7%, head the list of
common causes of accidents on the
farm, with falls, 39%; bums, 25%,
firearms and poisons at the top of the
list on home accidents.
I There was a discussion on how farm

I with these three factors being stress
ed: (1) ability to recognize hazards;
j (2) by eliminating every hazard that
is possible; (3) conducting ourselves j
iso that we and others may live safely ,
I with these hazards that cannot be
eliminated. Each club member filled |
out a check sheet on safety of their j
homes and farms. This should help I
the members recognize hazards in
their own homes and on their farms.;
In addition to the program the Rocky,
Hock Club reviewed safety rules while ,
| r iding a school bus and also had a;
J song on safety. Several members of 1
the different clubs selected farm and

jin their 4-H work. “We feel that this
program is one of the most important
