’ A Tribute To Ezzelle L* Ward i BY HIS WIFE r v —^, . Ezzelle L. Ward, who di§d re- ; Ifdtatly at fifty-seven yof 4 age following several yeadrs of failing health, was, in th& 'stHct- ■ est sense of the word, a Master 'Farmer, and this is being writ ten as a tribute to his aecom- I plishments. Although not living,, ■ the Biblical span of years, three 1 scAre and ten, his achievements were many—all in the, field of farming or related activities. He lived on the farm all his life and loved farming so much that' some thought he would have farmed even had it been neces sary to make his living at some thing else. This fortunately was not the ca?e because he • was successful at farming. I realize that the farm prac tices Zelle began twenty or, thirty years ago are in common usage now by good farmers, but many of them were innovations then. i After marrying in 1924, he bought the homeplace, Green hall, about three miles from Edenton and began his own way of farming. Tractor farming was in its infancy then and there were many who thought mules would do a much better job. However, Zelle bought his first Farmall tractor about then and used it to good advantage. He was a pioneer in V-shaped ditches which he could clean out with his small road machine pulled by tractor and thus elim inated a good deal of man labor. He made his own two-row stock pea harvester, building it ota the tractor and casing it in .vwith metal. This was much like the one-row mule drawn harvester then in use. This tractor ma chine proved very successful. Greenhall Farm was more suited to stock raising than toj cotton and peanuts. Sojpje of his earliest hog pens were built shape of a wagon wheel. The hub was a small lot includ ing feed barn and wa,ter supply. The individual pens were just outside the so-called hub, yith a separate small pasture for' 1 each sow and her pigs. Before Zelle had running water to the vari ous pens, he had a large tank mounted on wheels which he filled at the windmill pump andj pulled to the feed lot. When the pigs ing ago, they were moved from the individual pens, put on pas-1 ture and fed a balanced ration. Zelle had his own feed mill and mixed and ground his own feed, adding minerals and protein supplement. Often the pigs ate corn from the field, alorijg with other supplement, thus eliminat ing the labor and expense of f housing the corn. As he bought more land, he increased the num ber of brood sows and averaged saving nine or ten pigs to the litter. Often more, which was good record. When these hogs reached marketable size, Zelle carried them to Kinghan’s in Richmond, taking along a note from the then County Agent, the late N. K. Rowell, attesting to their scientific feeding. Thai sounds strange now but that is the way it was done then. When he decided on building up a herd of cattle, there was a choice to be made: that of "selling the one cow and going on a vacation with the proceeds or keeping her and beginning the herd. Needless to say, it was a number of years before we,went on a vacation. He built up a large herd of polled Herefords, keeping them on pasture, ejght or nine months a year and feeding hay and grain the other months. Each year he plowed up dpad re • j Good Reading for the Whole Family •News 7 j I 'Facts t I -Family Feaiia b £ / The Christian Science Monitor Mfc One Norway S*., Boston '*» S B * n Send your newspaper hr *•**"’• |> checked.

He was awarded a certificate for raising one hund red bushels of corn an acre. This was right many years ago. Zelle bought and put up a saw j -mill to saw his own timber fori repair work on the farm and also did some custom work. He kept his timber land thinned out, taking out old and diseased trees and thus reduced the dan ger Os fire. The trees were left the correct distance apart, thus making for better and faster growth. At a late date he bought more land close to Edenton which was more suited to cotton and pea nuts and thus made for more di- 1 versified farming. Then it was' that his men worked these acres in‘season and then looked after the stock at other times. He was among the first in the county to buy his own irrigation system for tobacco and truck crops and to have farm ponds dug. When j his cotton grew too tall, he mounted blades on a tractor and topped the cotton to make for more branching out. This was his own invention. I Later, seeing the need of one, he developed his first "peanut digger which shook out the vines and nuts after they were dug. Then he invented a hole digger, mounted on a tractor and con nected to the pulley which dug holes for the peanut poles. This was a great improvement over the old method of digging holes ! by hand. With his permission, this was copied exactly and is | now being manufactured and I sold in a nearby town. Zelle built his own compost spreader, built on a Model T I chassis He always maintained a fully equipped farm shop at Greenhall, where he and the men could make repairs on the ma i chinery. This was powered by a Delco motor at first and later a main power line was run to the farm. In later years Zelle was a charter member of Enterprise j Agriculture Club, which was, organized for and devoted to the study of better farming prac tices and the solution of farm problems. This was a com-: munity club of farmers meeting; in the homes of various mem -1 bers. At the second meeting, he offered the use of a cabin on his farm as a meeting place. From, that time, the club meetings i were held there. Often members i had gatherings with their fam-i Hies when they would have, pic-' nics, oyster roasts and the like. Zelle always delighted in help ing his neighbors with men or, machinery. He was a most ver satile man. In addition to being a farmer of real ability, he would repair almost any motor, pump or machine that needed fixing. This was before the heart attacks i that kept him from doing so! many of the things he loved to do. Although his years were fewer than many, he managed to accomplish more things than a lot of others do in a much long- 1 er span of life. PROMOTED IN GERMANY j Haywood T.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE How spiritual understanding j of God, good, brings unlimited strength and progress will be brought out at Christian Sci ence Services Sunday. Highlighting the Lesson-Ser -1 mon entitled “Probation After Death” is the Golden Text from Psalms (37:27): “Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.” The opening selection to be read from “Science and Health With Key to the Scriptures” by i Mary Baker Eddy states (215:12): i “Whatever is governed by God. I is never for an instant deprived ■of the light and might of in- I telligence and Life ” From Proverbs the following ' verse will be read (1:23, 26): ! “Keep thy heart with all di i gence; for out of it are the is sues of life . . . Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.” You can’t escape the respon sibility of tomorrow by evading it today. —Abraham Lincoln. > aj|i.
