■ Conservation Farm Planning
APlans will be prepared on the
fiarms of Sammy Morris of
Rocky Hock and W. T. Forehand
of Macedonia. All problems are
considered in preparing these
plans. Soil survey maps are pre
pared immediately after the
farmer becomes a district coop
erator. Using these maps every
acre of the farm is planned
within its capability and treated
according to its needs.
Conservation practices such as
crop rotations, cover crop, pas
ture, drainage, terraces, sod wa
terways, contour systems, strip
crops, ponds, woodland and wild
life practices are planned when
needed and requested by the
district cooperator. »These ser
vices are jfumished by your 10-fal
-fal soil conservation district
In farm planning, the land
owner decides what practice he
can carry out and when he will
it. Your local soil conserva
tion district furnishes technical
assistance needed through the
Soil Conservation Service.
Grass-based Rotation
Have you ever considered us
ing a grass such as tall fescue in
your peanuts or tobacco rota
tion? Many of the better farm
ers are using fescue and making
more money per acre. Data re

In our program of work we
stress “Raising A Square Meal
Around Home”. Which means
■that each family work toward |
having a yeiar-around vegetable,
garden; poultry and eggs; swine
and beef; family milk cow; trees
and small fruits. If we would
produce and conserve these foods j
erfough for tihe family, the farni-'
ly would not have to buy too
many foods.
Since there are families that
do not raise enough foods we
•hall give you some information
today on how to be “A "Wise
Shopper.”
Are You A Wise Food Shop
per? Ask yourself these three,
questions:
1. How much do I spend eich
week for groceries?
2. Is it necessary jo spend that
much? '
3. Do I get my money’s worth
in terms of nutritional value?
Foods purchased should meet
the needs and. desires of fami
ly members; therefore, food
•hopping begins in the home,
where meil plans are made in
arms of family needs. It is
completed at the retain food mar
ket.
Following a wise or sound
plan means the homemaker ns
using her knowledge of foods
and is following market trends.
Bhe knows what foods are avail
able from the garden, freezer
or other storage. She plans
meals suited to the needs of her,
family land within the means of
her pocketbook.
Here is a logical plan to fol

shows that at the Oxford Ex
periment Station tobacco follow
ing fescue sold (for over S2OO
more per acre than continuous
tobacco.
Part of the reason for this
higher return was due to de
creasing the nematode popula
tion. Other reasons for larger
returns are improved soil struc
ture allowing water to enter the
soil, cover for the soil, prevent
ing erosion, and disease control.
Tall fescue seed is mixed with
your small grain seed in the
drill. Use 20-30 pounds of fes
cue per acre. Next spring when
your small grain is harvested the
fescue will be about four inches
tall. Fertilize and leave until
early next spring except for
grazing. Follow the fescue with
either tobacco or peanuts and
watch your money returns per
acre increase.
Fahey and Carroll Byrum of
Crossroads are beginning this
grass-based rotation. They have
had soybeans behind fescue for
the last four or five years with
good returns. In 1956, soybeans
behind fescue made 35 bushels
as compared with 25 bushels be
hind com. Ten extra bushels of
soybeans . . . other farmers over
the state report increases by us
ing fescue in their tobacco and
peanut rotation.
Refer to all available informa
tion on food supplies, prices and
quality.
Prepare a food shopping list.
Meal planning may follow:
Custom —Trial and error or no
planning—A definite food or
meal plan.
Planning based on custom
means the following of a food
pattern tradition in the family
or community. This may re
quire the purchase of ' foods
which you’ would otherwise not
purchase when economy is con
sidered.
Trial and Error or no plan
ning is a ‘hit or miss” method.
This means that, food buying of
ten results in waste and dissatis
faction rather than meal satis
faction.
Following, .a, definite food or.
meal plan will lead to the ut
most in meal satisfaction by ev
ery family member. Meals will
be better balanced with nutri
tional needs considered. In this
method, the food Shopper uses
all her knowledge of family
needs and foods in meal plan
ning.
To Be A Wise Food Shopper
You Musi—
1. Keep informed on food sup
plies, prices and quality.
2. Read newspaper and maga
zine ads and 'articles about food
(newspaper ads which relate in
formation on both prices and
quality are much more helpful
than prices alone).
3. Pay attention to radio and
television food news.
4. Compare food notes with
your neighbor.

Another Cancer Clinic
Is Scheduled Sept. 4th
The Northeastern Cancer Clin
ic will be held on Friday af
ternoon, September 4, with reg
istration beginning at 1 o’clock.
An examination of the five
areas of the body where cancer
is most easily found and cured
will be given. There are no
limitations as to sex, race, physi
cal or economic status- at the
center. However, women should
be 35 or more; men should be
40 or over unless referred by a
doctor, or unless one of the
Seven Danger Signals” or “symp
toms” are present
Only 30 people can be seen at'
the Center each month due to
limited facilities, so it is sug
gested that anyone who wishes
to be assured of an appointment
should write the Cancer Center,
Health Department, Elizabeth
City, N. C., for a priority. Ex
aminees are asked to bring a
robe or housecoat with them.
Reducing com losses is only part of
the success story of the 45 Combine.
You cut storage husks and cobs in the
field . . . you have complete control of
the corn attachment from the operator’s
platform—making corn harvests a safer
and easier job. As a “bonus”, you can
make top money doing custom work.
You combine aH your grain, bean and
seed crops by merely replacing the corn
attachment with the grain platform.

There hath no temptation tak
en you but such as is common to
man: But God is faithful, who
will not suffer you to be tempt
ed above that ye are able, but
will with the temptation also
make away to escape” (I Corin
thians 10:13).
Anthony of Egypt was a dis
solute young blade in Alexan
dria before his conversion. Once
saved, he found the temptations
of city life so pressing and in
tolerable that he fled to the des
sert to live the life of the her
mit But he discovered, and la
ter confessed, that the tempta
tions of a cell alone in the wild
erness were greater than those
of the city. Solitude is more
conductive to Christian growth
than is society.
Yet, I suppose, in this matter
of temptations, as in other mat
ters, the grass is always green
er in the other fellow’s yard.
Eealh of ius has his peculiar
weaknesses, and besetting sins.
That which would lure us into
the clutches of Satan, would
find no response in many others;
even as the temptations they
must constantly struggle against
have no appeal for us. And of
ten we feel, as did Anthony of
Egypt, that if we could only
trade-in our old temptation for
a newer model, our troubles
would cease.
'How wrong we are! The at
traction of sin can only be met
successfully, and overcome, with
a counter attraction. Only as we
come to love God more than our
sin will we find the key to con
secrated Christian living.
And here is a paradox: the
closer we are to God, the more
conscious we are of sin in our
lives. The self-righteous Chris
tian who is satisfied with his
spiritual state, is much farther
removed from God than is the
humble Christian, who feels
'himself the chief of pinners.
Failure to 9ee sin in our lives
is not an indication of holiness
so much as an indication of ego
tistical pride and spiritual blind
ness. The more Christlike we
are, the keener will be our
awareness to that in our lives
which is displeasing to Him. In
deed, as we advance through the
years, we shall find that many
practices we once defended be
. come distasteful to us, and the
