SECTION TWO Chowan Farmers Urged To Plant Pine Seedlings Under Sri Bank Program 40 Million of 50 Million Seedlings Already Distributed Chowan County farmers who ex pect to take advantage of the Soil Bank by setting pine tree seedlings should make their request for seed lings immediately, according to Robert Marsh, assistant county agent. The state nurseries in North Carolina produced some 50 million seedlings but orders already have been filled for more than 40 million of these. The remaining supply probably will not last very long as more farmers and cluo members are planting pine trees than ever before. The 4-H Club member or farmer can place his or-j der for pine seedlings now and have them delivered next year, if he so desires. The North Carolina Pulp Com pany of Plymouth is once again of fering free pine seedlings to club members in Eastern North Caro lina. Each club member is allow-' ed up to 5,000 free pine seedlings provided he has a suitable place to plant them. The cost of seedlings to non-club members is $4.00 per thousand de livered. Order blanks for seedlings arc available at the County Agent’s office. The Conservation Reserve fea ture of the Soil Bank will pay sl2 an acre to help pay the cost of planting the trees and farmers can also get $lO an acre rent per year during the contract period. This period is now set at 10 years but it may be increased to 15. A nice stand of timber at the time thei contract expires is likely. Under favorable conditions farm ers may be able to begin harvest ing timber before the 10 or 15 year contract runs out. If a forester recommends that timber be improv ed through thinning, it can be thin ned even if the Conservation Re serve~WHitract is stftt in’force. In case the trees planted under the Conservation Reserve are damaged or destroyed by fire, drought, in Mary, please come home « Come home Mary, and I’ll take you to see thi 1957 De Soto ... the most exciting cir in the world today!

We urge you to pay your taxes now and thus avoid the penalty which will begin on February 1. A PENALTY OF 1 % WILL BE ADDED ON 1956 TAXES NOT PAID BEFORE FEBRUARY 2. AN OTHER 1% WILL BE ADDED MARCH 2 AND AN ADDITIONAL V 2 OF 1% WILL BE ADDED FOR EACH ADDITIONAL MONTH TAXES ARE UNPAID. J. A. BUNCH | v SHERIFF OF CHOWAN COUNTY . -v sects, or disease, the government j will help bear the cost of reestab lishing the stand. According to John L. Gray, Ex tension Forester, an acre of Lob lolly pines on an average site in the Coastal Plains area will pro duce as much as 22 cords of pulp wood or 2,700 board feet of lumber when 20 years old. When the trees are thirty years old, the estimated yield is 38 cords of pulp wood or 10,000 board feet of lumber. Based on current figures, Mr. Gray estimates that 50 acres plant ed to trees this winter might give an income something like this: S6OO government payment to help planting costs. SSOO per year during the 10 or 15 year contract period. $2,000 to $5,0d0 receipts from sales. The exact amount depends upon the kind of trees and region where planted. Os course if pulp wood and lumber prices continue to rise these priees would be even higher. ■ Landowners will have until next March 15 to sign up for the Con servation Reserve. If farmers sign up to plant trees and then can’t get seedlings they still will receive a government check but the ASC County Commit tee may require them to put the land in a winter cover crop until the trees are planted. “There are many acres of cut over land or burned woodland in Chowan County which can be used profitably by growing pine trees,” says Mr. Marsh. “The Conserva tion Reserve provides farmers a wonderful opportunity to put waste land into useful production and to grow valuable timber at the same time. If a farmer were to set out 10 acres or more of pine trees this winter, the Soil Bank payments .will more than pay the taxes on his tim ber plot and his farm will be much more valuable at tl)e end of 10 years than at the present. Clip wan farmers nntf club members who intend to take advantage of .the Conservation Reserve program should order the trees immediate ly.” THE CHOWAN HERALD Aces Stop Strong Perquimans Indians Continued From Page 1.
