OVERMAN, Chowan County Agent Cattle Testing *■"*!*■* Except for fifteen beef herds Where it was not convenient for tfie owners to pen their cattle at this time, practically all cattle in Ghowan County have been tested fbr Bangs Disease. This work was done in cooperation with Dr. G. S. Bradshaw, Federal Veteri narian. To date, only one reac tor to Bangs Disease has been founds. This animal has been branded and we presume sold ac cording to the owner’s promise. This reactor was the only cow that this owner had. Practifltfßy all as therm ilkoAws and some of the beef herds were tested for TB. No TB reactors DON’T BE CHECK MATED.... Don't let lack of ready cash check mate your hopes and aims for the fu ture.

Street scene: Moppet gazing at a beautiful evening gown in a store window —“Mommy,/if no body buys that dress before I get married, buy it for me.” I was born a thousand miles too far north. I don’t like cold weather, or V) put it more spe cifically, the cold weather doesn’t I like me. Give me the warmer climes, the palm trees, and the southern breezes —you can have the snow and ice and the chilly touch of Jack Frost’s" icy fingers. I And now, since cruises for the Caribbean are to be inaugurated out of Wilmington in January, the warm 'tropical climes are tempt ingly held out to those who don’t like the cold—such as I. I can see it all now: tropical waters, moonlit nights and warm blue seas washing on palm-fringed shores . . . which will be quite a contrast to the weather we’ll were found. Owners of herds which have not been tested are scheduled to be tested within the next two to three months as it becomes con venient for the owners to pen the cattle. We are hoping to have Chowan County rated as an ac credited Bangs Disease and TB free county. ASC Practices Planned For 1958 County Soil Conservation Tech nician James H.

Wish I were going along . . . Well, I can dream, can’t I?” Yesterday —Bill Longley, one of the Old West’s deadliest gunmen, was hanged twice. The first time was a lynch job, the rope broke and Longley escaped with his life. Finally the law caught up with him and hanged him again. This time the rope didn’t break. An interesting fact about the Old West: William Barclay (Bat) Masterson, famous as a marshal and sheriff, had the reputation of being a walking encyclopedia of the West. Tomorrow —With Sputniks flying around above us, America now reminds me of a barnyard when a hawk appears overhead. The chickens squawk and scatter in all directions, feathers flying and with not the slightest idea where they’re going or what they’re do ing. tie change for 1958 practices. Peanut Harvesting Peanut harvesting has been considerably handicapped by ex cessive moisture in the peanuts Dealers have set 10% moisture as the maximum level on which they will purchase peanuts. Several lots of peanuts have run higher than 10% and the dealers would not accept them. This means that the growers of these peanuts are having to stack their bags in an open air place so that the air can circulate around them permitting the- moisture to dry out. Peanuts will dry much more quickly in the stack than in the bag. Many growers are picking a few bags, drawing a sample and having a moisture test run to de termine whether or not their pea nuts are ready for picking. Ir some instances the moisture con tent is turning out alright and picking is progressing. Many Seal Artist Clinton Bradley. Pennsylvania artist, designed the 1957 Christ mas Seals now being sold through out the United States to raise funds to fight tuberculosis. . A native of Philadelphia, he is a free lance artist and teacher. growers found that they have to hold off on picking a few more days to permit the peanuts to dry out sufficiently. Peanut yields that I have heard of thus far indicate that we have practically a normal yield this year. Most growers appear to be very pleasantly surprised with the good yields they are getting. The quality appears to be about normal. We are now having some good weather for drying peanuts and harvesting appears to be under yay in full swing. We still urge growers to check on the moisture content of their crop before they oick many bags. A few more days in the stack will dry pea nuts much faster than if they are harvested and placed in bags with excess moisture. • Wait— “l see you have a room for ent.
