AROUND THE FARMS ] Shin chowan county H&r b T c. W. OVERMAN. Chowan Ounly Agenl Cotton Promotion in Chowan County appears to be finding fa vor among producers and deal ers of farm supplies in Chowan County. An effort is being made to 'encourage our cotton] growers to make the most of our cotton allotment and to keep; the cotton allotment on thei farm. • % HP, ' • Approximately'4o cotton grow ers recently met with farm sup ply dealer representatives and others ! interested in cqttgn. County Agent C. W. Overman and E&ension Specialist George j Jones ;discussed the important] steps necessary to producing high Cotton yields and good quality! cotton. Movie films on Producing cotton for mechanical Rarvesting and mechanical . har vesters' at work were shown. A concerted effort is being made Jo get cotton growers to grow their allotments this year or release their allotment so that other growers may use it' this year. | Again, we want to urge! every grower who. has a cotton allotment to pay attention to this if-he is interested in keep ing his cotton allotment on the farm. Improving Peanut Yields is one of the two main projects being promoted by the Agrieul-! tural Committee of the Eden ton Chamber of Commerce. Pea nut growers should give careful consideration to the necessary steps outlined in the Chamber’s leaflet A brief resume of these steps is as follows: Have peanut soils tested and follow the soil test recommendations for fertiliza tion.

I I , The publicity men advertise the movie “On the Beach” as the picture to see, even if you never see another motion pic ture. For a change, that is not an exaggerated claim. Now “On the Beach." is not entertainment, it wasn’t meant to be. However, it is a warning of the total des truction that could beset the world if we keep going at our present pace. The time is 1964 and the place is Australia. The rest of the world has been wip ed out, mostly due to radio-ac tivity and the Aussies know that their time is near. Take this plot, watch how people react when they know they’re going Jfo die. Try to imagine how hto u would react in a similar Watch as people line up for pills with which to kill themselves and their children to save from dying the more pain ful way by radiation. See this movie, get good and scared, be come slightly depressed. That's the normal reaction from this: theatre-going experience. Fort- 1 unately, top, it’s something that will stay in your mind andj memory for a good long while.!

Failure to employ one or more of the above processes when needed forms a leak in good peanut production. Leaks mean loss. We hope that every pea nut grower in Chowan County will shoot for a two-ton per acre yield in 1960. It of us might get just frightened ! enough to do something about I the situation of the world to ll day, which was summed up by i j Fred Astaire portraying a scien- J list. He was asked how come ! the world was about to. come to its end. His reply, in effect, 1 had to do with nations trying ‘ to maintain peace with weapons ' that, if used, would mean total 1 destruction. Then, seemingly, ’ someone saw something, and ’ who knows what? on a radar | screen and pressed the panic ’ button. From that time on. . ehairr reaction and total destruc tion. It could happen and that ‘ is, perhaps, the most frighten ing of the movie..

Unfortu ; nately, some well-meaning semi politicians tried to make it rough for the producer of “On the 1 Beach” because he hired a writ ler for another movie who once ‘ was connected with a Red Front organization. But that’s so un ; important. The big issue is saving this world of ours. Those : petty little arguments or dis cussions are so meaningless in I the light of what could happen. , We’re buddy-buddy with the I Japanese and Germans now, so i why make a big noise because i a writer or anybody spent a THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA.

But, as mentioned ' before the big issue is main-; taining the peace and as point-1 ed out in the movie doing it; without using weapons that could mean total annihiliation. Let’s all get together and talk about and do what we can about; tha*t, the most vital issue the : world has ever faced. I hope you were able to see “On the Beach.” It’ll probably be play ing again, so see it next' time around. Closing thought: The sole equality on earth is death.

The real poverty of our day is not bread and but ter. It is a poverty of the spirit. “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” (Matthew 5:4). One of the ap plications of this verse could certainly be those who mourn their spiritual poverty. If a man knows he is spiritually bank rupt but feels indifferent- to his loss, he will never find the riches . which could be his. It is he : who mourns his emptiness who will find that emptiness turns into fullness. “He shall be com forted.” Jesus, too, probably 1 had in mind those who mourn over the spiritual poverty of oth-! ers, as well as their own. The 1 prophet Amos was deeply con- ) cerncd over the nobility of his; day. And those who do not j ! mourn the spiritual shallowness of their society contribute to its evil conditions. We have been observing how much Jesus used his Scriptures, i All the phrases used in the Be j atitudes are taken from Old | Testament sources. They are t I not original with Jesus. Rather,) j Jesus had sunk his spiritual 'roots deep into the heritage of j his people. It is so with the | third Beatitude which we are j studying. “Blessed are the > meek” comes directly from ] ] Psalm 37:11. * “Meek” docs not mean that a i man should be “meek as a | lamb,” in this instance. It does‘l not refer to spinelessness. Rath- j er, there is strength in the man who is willing to subordinate his j interests to those of the King ! dom. He lets the interests of I i the Kingdom (the rule of God) 1 ! come before his-own. He lets • loyalty and love dominate his l life. He who lets love and jus tice dominate his motives soon 1 discovers that he does not walk alone. There is a power not his own that makes for righteous ness. i Jesus’ parable in Luke 14:7-11 points to the root of vice—, pride. Self-assertion, pride of position, and a feeling of one’s importance kill humility. Like wise, in the parable of LdEarus land Dives, in Luke 16:19-31, ] Jesus points to the importance jof compassion. Humility, com i passion, concern and loyalty to ’God’s way of looking at people determine our characters, and, ultimately, our destinies. The rich man’s pride had no power to sustain even himself; the poor man’s humility, before God and man sustained and empowered his life. Nations can live like these two men, also. Self-contentment and arrogance can bring the judgment of God upon a nation. . Likewise, humility before God’s j view of mankind and assertion lof his will can bring his ap proval. Herein lies a nation’s true strength!
