It is unfortunate that religi ons bigotry and intolerance has reared its ugly head in the pres ent political campaign. I had hoped that after the Al Smith Roman holiday the American people had learned much, and that we had grown and mellow ed somewhat, in our attitudes and outlook.

STRICTLY PERSONAL —I am probably the best-read writer in the United States—by editors. They read my offerings, place them in the return envelopes, and promptly return them. ; Someone has said that the only ‘ way to succeed as a writer, is! ! not to know when you’re lick | ed. He is right, because if you j have the slightest bit of defeat ism in your makeup, you’ll never get to first base —not even in a modest way. I have been writing since my high school days, written literally hundreds of poems, articles and stories, but I have made only one sale to a national magazine. I have spent more money in postage than I have ever earned. But there is a sense of achievement, of satisfaction and accomplish ment in writing, even if your stuff, or most of it, never sees For Th* COMPLETE NEWS * in EDENTON • CHOWAN COUNTY NORTH CAROLINA • The NATION • The WORLD .

Writ-J ing is an end within itself, its I own reward. So if that novel j never gets beyond the editorial office, or these short stories arc never sandwiched in the pages of a magazine, I can only say I have enjoyed the running, even though I didn’t win the race. And, who knows, along; the way I may have written a| word that fell on fallow ground, I sprouted, and reached a harvest; i which makes all the effort worthwhile, after all.

SOIL CONSERVATION NEWS By JAMES H. GRIFFIN, Sod Conservationist L. N. Hollowcll has run a rotary hoc over his 10 acres of newly-set pasture to loosen the sail. Heavy rains had pack ed the soil until it is as hard as concrete. His grass is looking very good and has started to grow but is not spreading. Weeds will be sprayed in about 10 days using 2-4-D. About a week later, 700 pounds of 14-0-14 will be applied. Mr. Hollowed is planning to start grazing about July this year. He will start on planning his conservation farm plan Wed-j nesday. May 11. Already lie knows, he needs much more] summer grazing. His plan will' ;be designed to use each acre [ l within its capability and treat ii [according to its needs. Techni cal assistance for this planning; will be furnished by the Chowan j Unit of the Albemarle Soil Con- 1 [servation District. Success Is Planned I Success just doesn’t, just hap-! [pen . . . plans arc made for it/ District, cooperators arc finding j that out by using technical as sistance furnished to them by their local soil conservation cl is- i tricks. This assistance is used! to prepare a plan of action for now and the future. Conservation farm plans are' tailor-made for the farmer and | the farms with the fanner mak ing the decisions. Each acre is i planned within iks capability and i icatcd according to its needs. Elton Jordan of Tyner has found that one of his first needs I is drainage. Several possible outlets were looked at in plan ning the fann. An engineering i survey will be run before the j drainage system is planned in | his conservation farm plan. Pas-j lures, crop rotations, cover crops; and woodland practices were]' planned. Mr. Jordan says he is planning for the present and fu ture. He wants to use his land right and treat it right. Edgar Earl Hollowell of Eden- j ton finished preparing the Con- I servation farm plan on Leary! Bros, farm which he operates. He found a better location for. his farm pond than the site he) was thinking about when he 1 signed for ACP cost-share as- j sistancc in January. “It’s amaz ing what a little planning will do,’’ commented Mr. Hollowell. He found that several plants, namely, Coastal Bermuda, Seri cca and Bahit grass, would make good summer pastures on his sandy soil. He has about 15-20 white-face cattle to grass and almost no fescue-clover land. The cattle were feeding on win ter cover crop the day his con servation plan was prepared. Four acres of Coastal Bermuda pasture has been established with more planned next year and after.
