| A very unusual event occurred on
Wednesday afternoon of last week on
the Sandy Point farm. On that day
Thomas Jackson, operator of the farm,
I had a rain on his pasture while the
I sun was shining very brightly. This
rain was made possible by the use of
four irrigation systems which were
used in an irrigation demonstration.
Howard Ellis, in charge of Agricul
tural Engineering Extension, was in
I charge of the irrigation demonstra
tion.
Mr. Ellis explained the fundamen
tals of irrigation to the group and
gave them a few precautions to oh-j
serve before purchasing an irrigation'
outfit. He said that a farmer should
never do any panic buying when pur
chasing an irrigation outfit. Each out
fit must be adapted to the farm for
which it is designed to serve: other
wise it will never be satisfactory. The
irrigation engineer who designs the
system must be familiar with the
fields on which the irrigation is to he
used, as the water should only be ap
plied as fast as it will soak in the
ground.
The engineer must also know the
location of the water supply, the
amount of water available, and the
distance the water must be pumped.
Therefore, Mr. Ellis advises farmers
to take time when they select an ir
rigation unit instead of expecting to
be able to call a dealer up and ask him
I to give them immediate delivery on an
j rrigation outfit.

The Feastday Os
ST. ANN
JULY 26, 1954
t *
, It is the glory of God and in honor of St. Ann that the Cath
olics of Edenton have dedicated their church. All are welcome.
St. Ann is the traditional name of the mother of the Blessed Virgin
Mary. To her and to her husband, Joachim, was! bom late in life the
child God’s own messenger, the Angel Gabriel, was to call “full of
grace, bleased among women” (Luke 1:28). It was this good mother
whose training and example, after God’s grace, prepared Mary for the
great honor and singular privilege of giving birth to our Lord and Savi
our Jesus Christ. For this reason since earliest Christian times St,
'■ Ann has been looked upon as a model mother. Tradition tells us that
e the body of St. Ann was brought to France by Lazarus and his sisters,
| Martha and Mary, after they had been expelled from the Holy Land in
-. I an early persecution. In an original letter that still exists, the Emper
sj or Charlemegne (742-814) tells of the finding of her tomb.
Prayer from the Mass of the Feast
O God, who was pleased to bestow upon Blessed Ann the grace
whereby she merited to become the mother of her who brought
forth Thine only-begotten Son: mercifully grant that we who
F celebrate her feast may be aided by her patronage with Thee,
-i through the same Our Lord Jesus Christ who lives and reigns
with Thee in the Unity of the Holy Spirit, world without
y ; end. Amen.
