An open book upon my knees:

A little quiet when day is

Not for me the city's moil;
Just my nook and spot of soil
To give me happiness and bring

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. The world has changed
since the days of Al Smith, and
if we and the world have learn
ed anything in the interim, it is
that there is no place for intol

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

writer to understand that. Writ-J

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

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.
For assistance in oonserva -
Hon farm planning, see your lo
col Soil Conservationist or your
district supervisors. Make mon
ey for yourself by planning and
protect future generations, too.
