Construction ot the nine miles
at channels in Burnt Mill Creek |
Watershed is moving along on
schedule. The two draglines are
between US 17 and NC 37 high
ways. Channels are 30-35 feet
wide and about six feet deep. i
Many of the local landowners
are saying they hope they won’t
be around when the stream
overflows again. They are proud
of their project.
Pollock Swamp Watershed
L. F. Thompson. E. O. Gra-;
ham and others of the Soil Con-j
servation Service Watershed |
Planning Party met in Menton. I
Tuesday, August 9, and worked
out a schedule for assisting the
landowners in the Pollock
Swamp Watershed with their
propeet.
This project Will include about
33 miles of channel improve
ment and open ditches. It be
gins at Brick Mill Bridge on I
NC 33 about three miles North!
of Edenton and extends to Mav-|
aton cross roads. Preliminary
cost estimation is about $120,000.
Crop Rotation
One of the best crop rota
tions for heavy land includes
tall fescue. Farmers report in- j
creases of SIOO or more when,
fescue is used in their tobacco
rotation. The fescue opens-up.
the land and causes it to bej
loamy, says farmers. Crops do
not suffer as badly from dry
weather when fescue is used in
the rotation. .
Experiments at the Oxford
Research Station shows that the)
root-knot nematode population
is greatly reduced by the fes
cue. This, of course, increases
the quality and quantity of the
money-crop . . . tobacco, pea
nuts. etc.
Richard Jackson of Yeopim is
starting to use fescue in his
tobacco rotation. This fall he
will mix 30 pounds of fescue
with his wheat. Next spring
he will harvest the wheat, leav-j
ing the fescue to grow the rest'
of the summer and winter. In
the spring (19621, he will turn
under the fescue and plant to- ■
bacco. This was planned by
him in his new conservation
farm plan. The local soil eon-|
servation district furnished him
technical assistance in preparing
the plan. I
J. B. Hollowell of Crossroads,
. . . two grass strips of six every j
year. Next year, this year’s,
grass strips will be used forj
tobacco or peanuts and two new j
grass strips planted this fall.
Field strip cropping systems are
used to reduce water runoff and
to stop erosion.
Fahey and Carroll By rum j
have been using fescue in their j
crop rotations for about four > 1
years. They discovered that;
crops grown behind fescue pas
tures were excellent crops. Now, i
they use fescue on about all of
their "stiff land". II
Fescue grass might help you
on your "stiff land", 100. Seed
30 pounds of tall fescue per,'
acre in the fall with small!
grain. Mix the seed in thej 1
grain drill and plant. Next 11
spring, harvest the small grain i
and leave the fescue. Top-! 1
dress with about 60 pounds of 1
nitrogen and graze cattle on it ;
if you desire. Leave one or two!
years, then turn under and plant i

The Center Hill Junior and
Senior 4-H Club members en
joyed a day’s outing at Lake
Ahoy on Monday, August 8.
The 4-H’ers were accompanied
by Harry Venters, assistant agri
| cultural agent, Mrs. Emmett
Jones. Mrs. Rufus Smithson, Mrs. :
J. S. Turner, Mrs. Rufus White, j
I Mrs. Ralph Goodwin and Mrs. j
Garland Asbell.
| After -a—quiek change -to-bath- |
ing suits, swimming and water i
games were very enthusiastically !
! participated in by the club mem
bers. The Center Hill group
then enjoyed a picnic lunch !
which they carried.
Now is the time for 4-H’ers ;
|to begin work on filling out
i their project record books. Rec
ord keeping is a must in 'any
business. There are many dif
ferent ways to keep records and
many types of records to keep.
But records are all for the same
purpose—to supplement and re
lieve the mind of an> impossible
task of remembering the fine
details.
Many honors have Been givfcri
to deserving 4-H members for
their project work based on their
records. This could not have
been possible if it had not been
for their record books. Not only
are 4-H records a basis of re
warding an individual for work
accomplished but they help build I
a strong mird and prepare the
4-H’ers to face problems of later
life. There is a personal glory,
too, in completing project work
and records to accompany this.
To know that self and surround
ings have been improved by pro
ject work gives a warm and sat
isfying glow of pride.
All county 4-H records are due
in the Extension office on or
before Thursday, September 15.
It is important that Mr. Venters
and I have the records by this
date in order for us to get them
judged for county awards and
then sent to the state office by
September 30. School will soon j
be starting and that means home !
work—so complete your 4-H
records now and get them to .us.
