k-gtCWOW ONE PAGE TWO m CmMTUN NEWS By JAMES H. GRIFFIN, Soil Conservationist Chowan County farmers are bksy now getting their crops ptented. We had a long, cold winter which hindered the spring planting. Most farmers are com ing along very well with this op eration. A number of farmers are eom menting about the good job drainage tile has done this spring, J. George installed around 750 feet on his farm at Center Hill to “iry it”. He reports that this spring is the first time he has been able to plant in this field at the same time the rest of the farm was ready. He says that he wants some more tile next year. Gilliam Wood told me recently that his drainage tile is doing a very good job of draining the wet spots on the Hayes farm. Mr. Wood says it’s the best money he has spent on the farm in a long time. He wants''to install some more drainage tile next year. W. A. Harrell of Valhalla sta tion has his early truck crops over hig tile liner where he couldn’t cultivate before the tile was in stalled. This tile is on the farm beside the produce buying sta tion. Mr. Harrell plans to start installing tile on his home farm this fall. This spring he dug an outlet drainage ditch to serve as an outlet for the tile. Lester Harrell has installed about 300 feet of six-inch drain age tile by hand on his farm on Macedonia Church road. High way water drains into this tile, therefore, a silt trap was built be side the road to keep the silt out of the tile line. Crotalaria planting season is about here. Farmers who are planning to use Crotalaria this year should place their order im mediately. Seed supply is very short this year. Tom Asbell of Center Hill is preparing the first sod waterway in Chowan County according to SCS specifications. He will re ceive ACP payment when this waterway is completed. The wa terway is on the farm of Dr. H. E. Nixon. Dr. Nixon has also completed about a mile of open ditches on the farm this spring. These are part of the improve ments being planned as part of his soil and water conservation plan with the Albemarle Soil Conservation District. The Albemarle Soil Conserva tion District is again sponsoring Soil Stewardship Week beginning May 11 and running through May 18. Fifteen churches in Chowan County and Edenton are eooperat. ing with the district in this ob servance of man’s responsibility as a steward of our land and oth er related natural resources. The district supervisors are furnish ing these churches the necessary literature and church bulletins for the special services. The lo cal district supervisors, L. C. Bunch, J. A. Webb, Jr., and R. H. Holldwell, encourage everyone to attend one of these churches on Soil Conservation Sunday, May 18th. Don’t forget that summer graz- j ing pasture this summer. Marvin Evans of Rocky Hock plans to! have his grazing in June, July, I August, and September. He has , seeded several acres of Pensacola j Bahia grass and set out about two acres of Coastal Bermuda grass. 1 Bembry Wood at Greenfield seeded five acres of Bahia grass j for his sheep Four acres was seeded to Pensacola Bahia and onp acre in the same field to Wil mington Bahia. This is a plant materials test to see which grass is -best suited for his farm. Mr. NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS By order of the Town Council, on Monday, May 12,1 will advertise for sale for taxes all property on which the 1957 taxes and assessments have not been paid, the date of sale being Monday, June 9,1958. Please pay your taxes before May 12, and thus avoid having your prop erty advertised for sale. *?’ ' ' - "U • _ ; nf 'ww v *? l ■' . BL&' * **■ 1 *■ * Wood also has a large acreage of common Bermuda grass for sum mer grazing. This past fall die seeded Fescue and Ladino clover for winter and spring grazing. Gilliam Wood is planning to use Starr Millet for summer graz ing for his cattle. Starr or Pearl Millet haVe given very good grazing results when properly fer tilized and managed. Frank Wood at Mulberry Hill is planning to seed Sericea Les pedeza to control erosion and to provide summer grazing. This land is now in the acreage reserve of the soil bank. This gives Mr. Wood a chance to get the Sericea Lespedeza well established be fore grazing it. Sericea is called “Poor Man’s Alfalfa” and is well adapted to most well-drained soils in Chowan County. It even makes growth on deep sand and eroded stiff or clay soil. Os course, it will do its best on well drained fertile soil. If this drop (Sericea) fits one of your problem areas, try it this spring. C. Os C. Presents Hurricane Damage Continued From Paae 1, Section 1 Clerk E. J. Ward, Jr., are among those from Edenton who will at tend the hearing. The Chamber’s statement points out that there was damage esti mated at $76,500 to Edenton wa terfront property caused by 3 to 5 feet of flood water driven by high winds from Edenton Bay and the Sound. The damage includes : $50,000 for bulkheads destroyed I along the town’s w’aterfront. The greatest damage occurred to Chowan County farmland, ac cording to the report. Because normal farm drainage systems were flooded by high water and i clogged by fallen trees and deb ris, the hurricane rains could not drain off with the result that crops were lost and stagnant wa ter interferred with normal farm operations. It is conservatively estimated that Chowan County farmers suffered losses of $450,000 from the 1954-1955 hurricanes. The report also discusses loss of valuable land along Albemarle Sound from hurricane wave ac tion. The Chamber requests that the Corps of Engineers investigate the conditions described and take such measures as they deem nec essary to prevent future hurricane damage. The Chamber also rec ommends that new bulkheads be installed along the town’s water front. The report is supported by let ters from Mayor E. P. Kehayes, Chairman W. W. Byrum of the Board of County Commissioners and many private property own ers.
