Fruits for home use, farmstead
beautification and community ’or
ganization and participation are
theg-oals that have becn.-sAt by
tho Chowan County Agriculture
Workers’ Council for* 1957. Goals
are-based on needs as agricultural
workers view them, according to
County Agent C. W. Overman.
The goal on home fruit produc
. lion is to have at least fifty fami
lies set strawberries who~do not
have them at present. Other fruits
such as peaches, apples, pears,
grapes, figs and othar fruits for
home use are being urged. Fruit
trees and berry plants ean be pur
chased cooperatively through club
orders at a substantial saving. Mr.
Overman urge£ families who are
interested in placing orders to con
tact his office or some member of
the Agricultural Workers’ Council.
Each worker will have a list of
fruits, varieties recommended and
prices. Orders must bo paid for
when they are placed as the orders
made have to have payment ac
companying them.
Fruit trees should be ordered and
set as soon as possible. Berries
should be ordered and set in March.
Soine recommended varieties are: l
Strawberries Tennessee Beauty,
Albritton, and Massey; Dewberries
—Thornless Boysenberry; Bunch
Grapes—Niagara, Fredonia and
Catawba; Muscadine Grapes
-—White Scuppemong, Black Thom
as, Black James and Black Misch;
Peaches—Golden Jubilee, Southland
and Elberta; Apples—Early Har
vest, Red June, Grimes Golden,!
Yellow Delicious, Red Delicious!
and Winesap; Pears—New Orient,
New Wevoe ami Seckel; Pecans—
Stewart and Schley. For varieties
of other fruits contact your agri
culture workers.
Farmstead improvement and
home ground beautification go
hand in hand to make the farm
stead more beautiful and a more
attractive place. Farmstead im
• provement involves the arrange
ment of buildings, livestock lots,
poultry yards, and drives for same.
Home ground beautification in
volves the correct placement of
walks and drives and the arrange
ment of trees and shrubs for a good
home grounds setting. This does
not involve a lot of expense. Good
placing is necessary. A few shrubs
and trees correetly placed will ac
complish the purpose. Often tho
trees and shrubs may be obtained
locally from neighbors or from the
woods. “Agriculture workers will
be glad to assist any family in this
work, if they will only call on us,”
Mr. Overman says.
Good community organization
and participation builds good com
munities. By working together in
a confmunity the people ean ac
complish much. “We might liken
this to a stack of peanuts,” Over
man said. When a few peanut
poles are stood on end and leaned
together at the top, they will lie
wobbly, unstable and will hold up

very little, perhaps falling with the
first wind that strikes. But when
a lot o’s peanut poles are stacked
together properly, they will with
stand wind and other hazards and
are capable of supporting tremen
dous weight. Likewise, with people
in a community who have good or
ganization and good participation.
It will be a strong community that
can accomplish much, that can
work out problems together for the j
benefit of all, and will be a com-1
mupity where the older and partic
ularly the younger people will love
to live and outsiders will l>o glad
to visit.
The Agriculture Workers Coun
cil is made up of workers from Ex
tension, Soil Conservation Service,
Vocational Agriculture, Home Eco
nomies, A.S.C., Forestry Service
and any other Agriculture Agencies
operating in the county. The more
that farm people call on them and
work with them the greater bene
fit they ean lie in helping to make
Chowan County a prosperous and
happy place to live.

With the organization of the I
Oak Grove Club, every 4-H mem
ber in rural Chowan County has an
; opportunity to attend and be a
member of a local club. Th<* local
clubs strengthen and improve the
calibre of 4-H schools in the coun
ty. Clubs have been organized ir.
the various schools for many years,
but the local clubs serve the vari
ous communities in a far more ef
fective way than the school clubs.
As its first project, the Oak
Grove 4-H Club will sell automo
! bile plates to build up their treas
ury. The plates have the follow
ing inscription: “Chowan County-
Peanut Capital of North Carolina.”
Other projects which the club

ty building grounds, roadside im
provement, and mail box improve
ment.

Many People Sell
Timber In The Dark
William E. Bond of Enterprise
rommunity decided to get some
light on timber he is considering
1 selling. “Many people sell timber
in the dark,” says County Agent
C. W. Overman.
Many people sell timber in the
dark in that they sell timber with
out knowing actually what they
have and what its value is. W. E.
Rond called on the county agent for"
a demonstration on how to esti
mate timber. Mr. Bond has a fail
stand of young growing timber on
about (10 acres which he is consid
ering selling and clearing tho land
for pasture. The demonstration
cruise revealed that the area con
tains slightly less than a half
stand of good growing young pines.
The pines average about eight
inches in diameter and are prac
tically all pulp wood size with some
few saw-logs. The trees are in
good growing condition and will
grow timber fast for the next 20
years. By following good forestry
practices the 00 acres may be
worth more to remain in woodland
in the next 20 years as to clear it
for cattle pasture. Good forestry
practices will have to he employed
1 and these will not he expensive.
Hardwoods should he controlled by
poisoning. Bare and sparsely set
pine tree areas should be set to
young pines. ASC woodland prac
tice assistance will pay a very
large portion of the expense.
The decision Mr. Bond will have
to make is whether he definitely
wants to shift this land to pasture
or keep it in improved forest for
the next 20 years or more. A care
ful computation reveals that if the
land is left in woodland and is
j properly managed it will possibly
1 pay as much net return or more as
| by clearing and replacing it in pas
ture.
Many farmers have such decis
ions to make. Agriculture workers
are available to assist them in de
termining to what use the land may
be most valuable as well as em
ploying good forestry practices to
make the farm woodland produce
and pay at its maximum, County
Agent Overman states.
