Hurricane Hazel Did One Good
Deed In Its Swath Across State
•--- ■ i ■
Hurricane Hazel, which tore
’ anulti-million-dollar swath across
;-North Carolina a few back,
is remembered gratefully in the
Greensboro area.
- Hazel ended a drought that hrd
folks limited to 15 gallons ri
water a day. The rains that
..trailed her filled the reservoirs
in the section.
- Which points up a problem be
coming more widespread in
■ North Carolina: There just isn’t
enough water for everybody all
.the time, and “everybody” will
"he a lot more Tai Heels in the
next few years.
“Water is rapidly becoming the
state’s major conservation wor
:xy,” says Dick Dailey, who
-heads the soil and water con
servation program in the state.
-“It will be the dominant and
limiting factor in agricultural
development.”
- Dailey feels we’ve barely
'scratched the surface in manage
ment of our 1 water resources.
„ “There are 440 major water
sheds in the state which need
treatment. In only 42 have the
people applied to the federal
for aid in planning
water conservation,” he says.
'■“And only in 11 has the go
. ahead been given actual pro
grams.”
The major problem is flood
control, says Dailey. “We must
work out flood control—what
ever the costs —from the upper
most points of our watersheds
all the way to the coast.”
Soil and water conservation
1 administrators in the state have
beeri unofficially authorized to
. cooperate with the U. S. Corps
of Engineers on flood conttrol
‘programs. “We’re already work
ing with them on a survey of the
‘Cape Fear River Basin,” he
says.
Flood control will not only
save water, it will keep millions
of t#is of Tai Heel soil from
washing down to the sea.
WijSle flood control is vital,
Dailty feels that water conserva
tion is just as important in the
small practices by farmers.
"At the last farm census, there
were 268,000 farms in the state.
Only 26 per cent of them had
conservation programs at work,”
he says.
Farmers will need to base
management of crops, grasses
and trees on the characteristics
of their water supply, as well as
on the quality of the soil, he

situations in their true perspec
tives. Emotion, passion and
blind partiality substitute for
sound judgment.
The one trait common to the
greatest scientists, physicians, in
ventors and others who have in
fluenced the world for good, has
been their patience. They prov
ed that with patience, any prac
tical task could be accomplish
ed. It was merely a matter of
time until they filed their
“crowbars” down into “needles”.
A man can be, proud of his pa
tience. Possessing it he shows;
that he has mastered himself.'
There is no more wort hy j
achievement. It is the first and.
necessary step in mastering any I
task. I
a says. “We’ve barely scratched
the surface here. We’ll need
) many more specialists in various
| areas of conservation to help
us.”
Water conservation is every
body’s responsibility, he says.
“Many people believe that it’s
more important to town and
city folks than to farmers,” he
I says.
Rural problems are no longer
, agriculture’s problems alone
throughout much of the state,
he says. Much of the land
which needs treatment is not
farm land exclusively.
“It’s inhabited by non-farm
people more and more every
year,” he says. “And our coun
ties are beginning to plan and
zone for development of the
whole county, instead of just the
towns and cities.”
Land is fast becoming a ma
jor resource, in terms of space
available. “We’ve just finished
a two-year survey of the state’s
land-use needs for the next 15
years. It shows that of 7.5 mil
lion acres of cropland in the
state, only 6 per cent has no
problems that limit its use. And
water is a greatproblem cn
much of the other 94 per cent.”
The survey predicted that
about 274,000 less acres of land
will be available for agricul
tural use by 1975 in the state.
“That’s like taking a county the
size of Ashe out of the farm
picture,” he says.
The state may wind up with
a serious land-use problem by
1975, he says. “California and
some other states are finding
that the population boom is tak
ing a great deal of its most valu
able farm land. We need to be
extremely careful about which
land we use for what.”
Dailey feels that local gov
ernments will play a bigger and
bigger part in the use of land.
“One-fourth -of all the money
that goes into the conservation
program—except for what farm
ers themselves spend comes
from state and local govern
ments. But North Carolina is j
lagging far behind other states
in the amount l and proportion of
money put into conservation ac
tivities.
“The urgent area of need will j
be in water resource. It’s been
mostly a soils job up to now.
But in 20 years, water consump
tion in the U. S. will double. If
we don’t want to ration water
severely ...”

Sunday School Lesson
PERSISTENT EVANGELISM ,
International Sunday School
Lesson for February 7, 1960.
Memory Selection: "Be stead
fast. immovable, always abound
ing in the work of the Lori,
knowing that in the Lord your
labor is not in vain."
(I Corinthians 15:58).
Lesson Text: Acts 18:1-22;
I Corinthians 1:26 thru 2:5.
Ths purpose of this lesson is
to show how a church can make
a complete and persistent wit
ness to its community. It will
point out the value of a total
witness through preaching,
teaching, and social action.'
In our Bible study for today,
we read further of Paul’s mini
strations. ‘ “After this he left
Athens and went to Corinth”
(Acts 18:1). With these words
we are introduced to the fruit
ful ministry of Paul in Corinth.
Many of the recorded visits of
Paul to the cities of Asia Minor
and Greece were of Short dura
tion, but here we find him stay
ing to preach the word of God
to the people of Corinth for a
year and six months . . , a
lengthy time for him. We need
to read of these experiences of
Paul at Corinth to impress u~
