PAGE SIX -—SUCTION ONE THE FARMS fgglN CHOWAN COUNTY By C. W. OVERMAN. Chowan Counly Agent The Chowan County Agricul tural Advisory Board met at the County Extension Office on Monday night. The meeting was devoted to considering the ma jor problems Extension needs to work on next year. Rural Fire Pioteetion was ex pressed as the number one need. Rural Fire Protection was ex pressed as the number one need. The Ryland-Gliden area and the Cross Roads-Center Hill area are both moving along nicely with their plans. Extension may help by informing and encourag ing the people, help with or ganization, and help keep the County Commissioners informed. The Rev. L. C. Chandler rec ommended we get more people working. This means a a indi viduals and as committees. Mc- Coy Spivey suggested getting some individuals follow improv ed practices and get results and their neighbors will follow. This is the time proven method. There is a need for more tele phones and better telephone ser vice all over the county, par ticularly in Advance, Center Hill j and Rocky Hock communities, j More and better home gardens with canning and freezing for c-'t-of-season use is greatly need-1 ed. Mrs. Jackie Castelloe recom mended that the Home Demon-1 fixation Fashion Show be held: in the spring rather than in September. Garments made dur ing the winter months wou.d be newer and fresher. All members of the Board agreed that the Community Pro gress Contest, backed by the I Peoples Bank & Trust Company of Edenton, is the one channel through which Extension and : other agencies can work to thei best advantage. Individuals and 1 committees in each community, must be enlisted in active ser-! vice. Mrs. Arizona Fleming sug gested several needs. The pro duction, conservation and con sumption of the family food supply needs improvement. Di ets need to be improved. Hous ing and sanitation facilities are inadequate for many families.! Farm people should use local health services. W. H. Sawyer stressed the need for better soil conservation practices. Good crop production practices are only partially em ployed. Wc need a good market outlet for commercial eggs. Several members feel that 1 farm people in general are not cognizant of the value of the So- ! tial Security program. Possibly we need to have a groun of community leaders-informed and! tra ned by a Social Security rep-1 resentative. These leaders could disseminate information and even help some people in their com munities to prepare the necessary forms. Members present at this meet-, ing were Chairman R. S. Mar h, j Vice Chairman George Lewis. Secretary Mrs. Clara Boswell. Mrs. Jackie Castelloe, M-s. E. N. Elliott. Mrs. Arizona Fleming, W. H. Sawyer, the Rev. L. C. j Chandler. Guy C.

Section 1 >reau a local farmer can strength en his county organization. He can help solve his -problems on field and truck crops marketing on getting a fair return for his labor and investment and his voice, along with that of other members, is heard in the legis lative halls of Raleigh and Washington. Just this year the Farm Bu reau saved Tar Heels millions of dollars in fighting to prevent taxes being levied on farm pro ducts and in fighting to have transportation taxes removed from farm products, according to President Wood. “It’s becoming more difficult for farmers to make their recom mendation:-. known to Congress and with other groups because ' of the small number of farmers [ and the misunderstanding be -Itv een farmers and other seg ments of the population,” con tinued Mr. Wood. An example of the type of work that the organization does can be found in testimony of the various Congressional com mittees. Just this year Farm Bureau fought long and hard and successfully to have Con gress drop the three per cent transportation tax which was being paid on all goods shipped cn common carr-ers. This tax, dropped now by the govern ment, meant that fanners paid three per oeht more lor all their goods shipped in. Farmers now represent only about six per cent of the popu lation of this country and it’s getting more difficult to keep non-farmers informed about what’s happening in agriculture. Then, too, it ig hard for us to get fair treatment in the Con gress and within the adminis trative bodies of the notion. And without strong organization the farmer’s chances of fair treat ment are even less. Mr. Wood urges every farmer to join the organiiation that is helping him. Labor Day Message Continued from Page 1, Section 1' this huge, long-term increase in employed labor is the magnifi cent growth of new and diversi fied industry which has jt place in the §ftat e since dto end of World War 11. i The labor force of North Car olina has been drasti cally in composition for the last two generations. Once predomi nantly 'agrarian, the working population of the State is now 73 per cent non-agricultura'l. This is true despite the fact that PLENTY OF i FREE I PARKING • j NO. 2Va SOUTHERN I OR POWHATAN j Peach,Halves 25c l North Carolina lias more farms' ! than any other state except Tex- j j as and possesses the nation’s far- 1 gest rural-dwelling populatioh. ■ Agriculture, however, is still ba sic in the State’s economy. l,t may well be said that North Carolina has. at present a favor able balance between industry and agriculture. Further industrialization is ne cessary -to provide jobs for the j thousands of people who are, gradually being displaced from I farming by technological change and improved practices -and far thousands of others who enter the labor market each year. We have a high birth rate and must be constantly on the move to provide employment for a rapid ly expanding population. I am proud of labor’s long rec-j ord of productive and peaceful'] relations with management in' North Carolina.
