SECTION , TWO Water Problems Os State Scheduled To 6a Started In April Grass Roots Study to Be Made In Each District The scheduled state-wide inven tory of North Carolina’s water problems is slated to get under way the first week in April, according to W. H. Riley, executive secretary of the State Board of Water Oommis-' sioners. Riley said the grass roots study! will be conducted on a Congression-' al District basis with the program being initiated .at one-week inter vals in each of the state’s 12 dis tricts. The reports from throughout the state will reveal which problems are state-wide, which are sectional and which are unique. !By compar ing the problems with existing wa ter laws, the Board will be able to determine which problems are ade quately covered and which are not. This knowledge, combined with thj Board’s knowledge of water re sources and water use, will provide a basis for long-range water con servation planning. One week following the meeting of Fourth District county repre sentatives in Raleigh, a similar meeting will be staged in the First District, probably in centrally lo cated Washington County. The re maining 10 Congressional Districts will be reached in numerical order with the final district meeting be ing held on June 17. The entire study should be completed by mid- July. County Board of Commissioners are 'being asked to assist in the in ventory by selecting the county representatives to attend the dis trict meetings.

For plants that is. Plants have started growing so let’s give them a square meal to push them along. How much? It depends on your soil. Feed plants growing in poor soil, especially near trees, one or more times a year. Other plants may need no fertilization at all. Watch plants and keep them in a healthy grow ing condition. In good soil it’s possible to get better than two feet or more growth per year on magnolia, pecan and many other medium to slow growing trees, if fertilized and watered adequately. Use an 8-8-8 fertilizer for most plants. Follow with one or more light applications of nitrogen if needed. Manure is also excellent, but it may contain lots of weed seed. If you prepare new beds, work the fertilizer into the soil. Phosphate moves very little in the soil, therefore, place- it deep to stimulate deep root growth. Use two to four pints (one pint—l pound) of 8-8-8 fertilizer to each 100 square feet. this with light applications of nitrogen if needed through the summer. Go light in fertilizing jftaleas, espe cially .small plants. Make two or three very light applications with THE CHOWAN HERALD the last application going on by July. Around shallow rooted plants (boxwjod, azaleas) or mulched ; plants, leave the fertilizer on top of the ground. Use 20 pounds per j 1,000 square feet on lawns, i How To Plant Small Seed j Fine soil that won’t crust is a must in growing plants from small seed. A mixture of half woods mold (rubbed through a coarse screen) and topsoil is good. Some sand would help heavy topsoil. Make a smooth surface for the seed by packing the soil. In the garden, a wheel barrow may be run down the row to press down the soil. Barely cover the seed and pack moderately. If the seed are in a box, water from the bottom. Set the box in a shallow tub of water and let the water rise through the soil Or,, you can cover soil with a burlap bag (prevents water from washing the seed) and sprinkle lightly from the top. Leave the burlap on the soil or use pine straw to shade the soil and keep it moist until seed start to come through. Then remove the material to give the seedlings plenty of light. Pruning Roses A lot of the pruning can be done during the growing season by cut ting long or short stems depending on the growth by the plant. If this is done about the only other prun ing necessary is to remove diseased branches just before growth starts in the spring. Those roses with ex ceptional vigor should lie pruned to •‘) to 5 canes and these cut back to about two feet. The less vigorous ones can be left alone except for thinning out and removing diseas ed wood. This type pruning should be done about the time growth starts. With climbing roses it’s 60 - SECOND M| SERMONS KH {■HRPj TEXT; “Hidden worth differs lit- I j tie from buried indolence.” —Horace. The tourists missed the coun try eating place they were seek ing.

Bishops Proclaim June Celebration i The House of Bishops of the Protestant Episcopal Church, des- : ignated Sunday, June 10, 1957, as Jamestown Sunday. The resolution requested that every Episcopal, church hold a'celebration of the' Holy Communion on that date, com-1 memorating the first recorded cele bration of the Holy Communion on American soil. On June 21, IGO7, that celebra tion took place on Jamestown Is land, Va.. with the Rev. Robert Hunt as celebrant. Formerly vicar of Healthfield, Sussex, Mr. Hunt had been appointed by the Arch bishop of Canterbury to be “Preacher” to the expedition.

New Grades Os Hybrid Seed Corn i; i | “Most of us remember when farmers selected their own seed 1 corn and ‘nubbed’ each ear prior ' to shelling the corn.” states Marvin : It.

Using this method of separa tion, the flat kernels which were used for seed, varied greatly in width and often resulted in uneven' //Buyer’s^ I If \ MARKET K time I® is the time § to BUY fTOICIDAIRE *•& ( ; .- ■ ■ • Air C.nSiti.n«r| • Rssck-I* far Kama and ftafnieritan »" ,i "'“ .

With the advent of hybrid corn, Godfrey points out, it became ne cessary to provide the farmer with seed that would plant more uni | formly with a minimum of waste, i “Much progress has been made in recent years and now the North Carolina Crop Improvement Asso- I ciation has made an even greater ; improvement with the establish ment of new grading requirements for -all certified hybrid corn seed producers in 1956.” 1 He adds that the new regulations prescribe definite size requirements which each grade must meet in both the width and thickness of the kernels. A sample from each lot of certified seed corn is screened on hand screens in the Crop Im provement Association Office to determine whether or not it meets i the grading standards before the blue tag is issued to the producer. He says once farmers have de cided on the size of th e corn they l wish to plant, they must select the proper planter plate for that par ticular grade. Then they will be j able to plant the desired grade us. ing the same planter plate regard less of variety or producer. For example, a large flat grade of L. S. 282 produced in the moun i tains can be planted with the samel ; plate as a large flat grade of N. C. ; 27 in the Coastal Plain. Because of this new advance ment in the grading of hybrid seed | corn, more ease will be afforded farmers in planting their crop and' Work, Sleep, Play In Comfort Without Nagging Backache I Nagging backache, headache, or muscular I aches und pains may come on with over-exer- | tion, emotional upsets or day today stress and strain.

Too many of us have come to think of our Christian profession as something having to do entirely with morals. We very glibly re cite "The Golden Rule” and seem to believe that if “we do unto others as we would have them do unto us,” we are being good Chris tians. But, being a Christian first involves believ ing in Christ as our personal Saviour and as the Saviour of the world. It involves much more than being a good person. Christ taught, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul and with all thy mind ...” This command to love God includes wor ship, prayer, work for Gods Kingdom. As our Book of Common Prayer puts it, a Chris tian’s duty is "to follow Christ, to worship God every Sunday in His church, and to work and pray and give for the spread of His Kingdom.” In the Episcopal Church we worship God corporately uit'< other people. It means being a part of "the Body of Christ” —an active participant in His church. We invite jou to join us in worshipping God and His Son, Our Lord, in the Episcopal Church near you, at your earliest convenience. I HI- I.AYMKX OK ST. PAUL'S KPISCOPAL CHURCH Edenton.
