Irrigation Day Is I Planned In County Wednesday, July 14 Cannon’s Ferry Selected And Time Will Be 2 O’clock An irrigation Field day is sched uled for Chowan County on Wednes day afternoon, July 14. The place tentatively selected is Cannon’s Fer ry. The time will be 2:00 P. M., says C. W. Overman, County Agent Three or more companies will dem onstrate heavy and light portable equipment. Extension Agricultural Engineer Howard M. Ellis, will discuss the principles of irrigation, where and how much to irrigate, what does it cost and other important irrigation information. « There are many farms in Chowan County which have a good water sup ply, such as a creek, river or pond, adjoining the farm, yet on dry seasons the crops suffer severely or are ruin ed due to the lack of water. “Why! not use this available water supply to irrigate in dry seasons and produce good crops?” asks Mr. Overman. "There are several irrigation sys tems in use in Chowan County now. Many of you have seen some of these systems in operation, but what do you know about them? This field day is a wonderful opportunity for you to learn more about irrigation and its possibilities on your farm.” News About Clubs In Chowan County By HATTIE SINGLETARY Home Demonstration Agent Once summer is here, we start mov ing out —out of the house into the yard, to a park, a lake, the mountains, or the beach. With us we take our food. Meals are wheeled to the porch and lawn, or packaged up for the lunch on the beach. Many families, clubs, communities and even county-wide groups will be enjoying picnics and other out-of-door meals all during the summer season. Made to order for these meals are the numerous varieties of sandwiches. They are so right with tall, cool sum mer beverages. No food tastes better on a picnic than sandwiches. Since breads do not need refrigeration, they can be kept safely for -several hours. There are many sandwich fillers. Cheese, chick en, and eggs are naturals. Mrs. Ellen H. Semran, Director of Consumer Ser vice Department, suggests that we try some of the following sandwich fill ings: Bacon-Pickle Sandwich Filling % cup finely chopped dill pickles 1 /3 cup chopped, cooked bacon Vi cun mayonnaise or salad dressing Combine pickles, bacon and mayon-| naise.

[Hy One of the most frequent ques tions from readers of this column has been “How can I tell a good road from a bad one?” There’s a lot more to the answer ... but it can be quickly said that “you can’t tell whether a road is a good road just hv look ing at it!” A good road must ha\v. „ ber of “musts.” For instance, a good road must have wide, well-sloped firm “shoul ders” to drain it properly and for safe off pavement stopping when necessary. A good road must have a smooth, firm, water-shedding sur face or “wearing course.” This is □_ | ! A GOOD ROAD | MUST HAVE 1 ■ n slightly higher, or “crowned,” at the center to drain toward the shoulders. Typical wearing mate rials are concrete, asphalt, bitu minous mixes, brick, macadam, gravel, shell, cinders, clay-sand mixtures, natural topsoil or dirt. And another “must” ... a good road must have a base course on which the surface rests. This course directly supports the surface pav ing and must be engineered to “spread” traffic load evenly on the sub-grade. A good base course would be a compact layer of crushed stone 6-8 inches thick. A good road must have a firm, well-compacted sub-grade: This is the natural local soil. It must be naturally firm (as solid rock is) or firmness must be engineered into it. And a good road must be de signed and built to meet the re quirements of the traffic that will use it—both in terms of number of vehicles and weight of loads, j • for 5 sandwiches.

Last spring the Jaycees were principally .responsible for applying the first coat |of paint on the building, which was very badly needed. ' The Jaycees are painting the ex terior of the house in their spare time, this project being made possible as the result of a donation of the paint by Blades Lumber Company. Through the efforts of the three co sponsoring clubs, Edenton Woman’s Club, Business and Professional Wo- \ man’s Club and the Jaycees, the house ! was recently wired for lights and the | three clubs are now co-sponsoring i various projects in an effort to facili-1 tate plumbing fixtures in the building. It is planned by the three spon soring groups to have the building ready for use as a community building in the not too distant future.
