PAGE SIX -ttcnoirowe AROUND THE FARMS IN CHOWAN , By C. W. OVERMAN, Chowan County Agent Andrew A Parrish oj Advance community is finding sweet pota toes to be a profitable crop. Mr. Parrish has been selling his sweet potatoes green from the field. Af ter watching the advanced prices for cured sweet potatoes during the winter months Mr. Parrish de cided to construct a sweet potato curing and storage hpuse for use in increasing his sweety potato profits. Plans and detailed information for the potato house ware furnish ed by the county agent. Mr. Par ish is constructing his building of a combination of cinder block and wood. The house will be 20 by 30 feet in size and he hopes will hold around 2,000 to 2,500 bush els. Corn Yields Checked Although the dry weather has played havoc with our corn yields in general this year, a corn varie ty test conducted with Gilliam Wood of Edenton community is showing very good results. This demonstration was checked this week. Among the factors evalu ated were standability of stalks, ear height, grain quality, ear tip coverage, stalk rot resistance, weevil resistance and yield. At present the agent has not had time to calculate all the yields and prepare a detailed report but this information will be given in a la ter report. Milo Yields Checked Each year a few more Chowan County farmers are growing some milo or grain sorghum for grain. During this dry year milo on an average is making a much high er yield for grain than corn. By using milo followed by small grain, tw r o crops of grain can be harvested each year. We are fairly certain of sufficient mois ture to make a good crop of small grain. Milo will withstand the drought pretty well and will withstand the wet seasons right well also, therefore it makes an ‘excellent grain for small grain production. Due to the interest in milo and many questions asked as to va rieties, a variety test demonstra tion was conducted with M. W. Jackson of Edenton community. Texas 620 yielded 41.6 bushels per acre, DeKalb C-44A yielded 38.4 bushels per acre, DeKalb D -50A yielded 31.2 bushels, DeKalb E-56A yielded 35.1 bushels, De- Kalb F-62A yielded 37.9 bushels and Martin Combine yielded 28.5 bushcl3 per acre. Martin Combine is a standard variety. All of the others are termed hybrids. Mr. Jackson was Any day now the temperature is going to take a fast nose-dive! Better let us get your car ready NOW for safe, smooth cold-weather performance. Drive in for a change-over to winter oil ... a check-up on bat tery, brakes, wheel alignment, tires . . . and our ex pert engine tune-up. It’s smart to get the jump on Old Man Winter! • Gene Perry’s Texaco Service Phone 3119 N. Broad St. particularly well pleased with Texas 620 and was fortunate enough to secure enough seed to plant most of the rest of his crop to that variety. He states that a section of another field yieldied well above 50 bushels per acre in spite of the dry weather. Cattle Testing Continued Dr. G. S. Bradshaw continued with testing cattle for Bangs di- 1 sease and TB this week. He is 1 able to test about 100 cattle per day. Again we want to remind : cow owners in communities ■ where we have worked to notify us if we have missed their cows ; so that Dr. Bradshaw can test them. ft "S , i CIVIC CALENDAR 11 Continued from Page I—Section 1 ’ ( p j A joint meeting of Ed Bond Post No. 40 of the American Leg-| ion and the Legion Auxiliary will. be held at the Oak Grove Com munity Building Thursday night, November 7, at 7 o'clock.

And don’t underestimate the power of a penny! Put to ■ work by it can provide ■ enough vaccine to “protect a child ■ against TB, or supply five large ■ glasses of milk. Add four more • pennies and there is enough to supply penicillin to cure a child of l yaws. Many of the disetases as ■ flicting millions of children all over the world debilitate, cripple, or kill.

And that’s exactly what we intend our Personal Service, John Deere style, to mean to you. We believe it’s' designed to meet your own particular farm ing requirements ... to help increase net . profit on every farming operation. When we first took on the John Deere Line, one fact seemed obvious —greater re turns from farming could be realized only when you farm efficiently and economically. John Deere Equipment provided the an swer to this problem then; even more so today. It’s equipment that leads the field; it’s soundly engineered; it’s efficient, de pendable; it’s equipment that’s econo.ulcal to own and operate. Hobbs Implement Co., Ine. GUY C.

So, that penny or nickel or dime you give a youngster Halloween night has a long and happy fu ture. The program of TRICK OR TREAT for UNICEF has now been adopted in over 7,500 towns and cities in the country. In many cases it has been the chil dren themselves who have organ ized the group, and brought it to the attention of their parents. They want to help children all over the world who are not as fortunate as themselves. In turn, when they ring your bell on Hal loween, won’t you encourage them for "all the. world’s chil dren?" 90 Girls Now In Girl Scout Troops Continued from Page I—Section 1 troops will assist the hostess pro gram at the hospital by making tray favors for the various holi days.
