The sit-1 uation which caused the hasty I withdrawal of the Belgium Gov-1 eminent from this strife-torn, country left it ill prepared to] govern, itself. New acts of vio-i lence and the death of Lumum ba demonstrate this anew. Mass • starvation has compelled the United States to ship food to she country in response to in ternational morals. In the back ground the battle between East and West to wii* the minds of men plays a major role in this crisis. Our commitments to the United Nations show the com plexity of the age. Change is constant. Seventy-five years ago a younger America emerg ing from the Uncivil War could watch England struggle with the problems of empires and peoples in Africa and Asia. Today we no longer occupy a box seat on the sideslines, but we have be come the chief gladiator in the arena coping with more complex] battles there. Freedom's Price—U.

Sometimes we have wondered where our fri.vnds in the United Nations were. The struggle is often closer to Uome than Asia or Africa. In Ifttin America those nations now ques tion our “Good Neighbor Poli cy.” Even the Panama Carult has become a matter of con-- cern to us. The decisions of the New Administration on foreign policy are momentous. They are the “last best hope” of the free world. Washington's ob servation that “eternal vigi lance is the price of freedom” has become a tenet of foreign relations. Missiles: The debate about a missile gap between the Unit ed States and Russia can be boiled down to this: We want to be sure that this country possesses sufficient missile pow er to destroy any nation that at tacks us. This calls for a con stant appraisal of our military position. Under present con ditions we cannot afford to be second best. I shall never for get the fact of the Frenchman in tears portrayed in Life Maga zine as he watched the Nazi soldiers march through the Arch of Triumph. The lesson is plain for us. at the next regular meeting, March 7, 1001. Conservation Poster Contest The annual poster contest for fourth, fifth and sixth grade stu dents in Chowan County schools will be held at Edenton Graded School Friday, March 3, 1961 at 2 P. M. Chowan County stu dents in these three groups have been studying conservation of our natural resources this month (February) and prepared their iconservetion postern in connec tion with their studies. Chowan County Supervisors are furnish ing cash prizes of $lO for first place posters in each of the three grades, and $5 for second place posters. These posters will be entered in the district Albemarle Poster Contest at Elizabeth City on Friday, March 10, 1961. The district (Chowan, Perquimans, Pasquotank, Camden and Curri tuck counties) contest is spon sored by the Elizabeth City Chamber of Commerce. Coastal Bermuda Grass Rootstock or sprigs of coastal Bermuda grass are now available at 35c per cubic foot. It takes about 20 cubic feet to set an acre in rows. There are several ways of planting the grass but rows gen erally prove best. Lay off rows (furrows) 3 to 4 feet apart and 4 inches to 6 inches deep. Plant sprigs 2 feet to 3 feet apart in the row, using 2 to 4 sprigs per hill. When planting by hand, drop sprigs in row (furrow), i cover and firm soil with foot. Then partially fill furrow with weeder, section harrow, or cul tivator. Leave plants in a fur row 2 inches ’to 4 inches deep. This furrow will be filled in future cultivations. Another method is to broad cast sprigs and cover with disk harrow or disk tiller. Firm soil with cultipacker or roller. This method requires twice as many sprigs and should be done only when moisture is available early in the season. Coastal Bermuda should be es tablished during March or early April. Fertilize using 400-500 pounds | per acre of 0-14-14 or 0-10-20 in I rows at time of planting. Apply 50 pounds of nitrogen directly on the row when plants begin to .grow. Broadcast an addition jal 100 pounds of nitrogen per acre in mid-summer or when the runners meet in ithe middle of the row. Contact the Soil Conservation | Service office for information on source of sprigs and further rec ommendations. Do Not Bum old fields of Coastal Bermuda grass. It does not improve this stand nor cause you to have more grazing. Many times it prevents you from be ing able 46 get in the field and top dress because of the wet condition 6t the bare soli.

Farmers Bu;y Record Supply Certified Seed “North Carolina, is going to stay in the farming business,” says Gov. Terry Sanford. Farmers 'all over* the state agree enthusiastically. And they are taking steps to make sure that North Carolina remains the leading agricultural state in the Southeast. “The marketing system for North Carolina farm products has improved greatly pn recent years,” says John Curtis. “But there’s still a long way to go.” Many people believe that the solution rests in getting new markets for Tar Heel farm pro ducts. “We’re beginning to build up new markets —for livestock, poultry, vegetables, forest pro ducts and many other things,” says Curtis, who heads Exten sion Marketing at N. C. State College. “The thing we have to be sure of is that new mar kets are located at the proper place, with adequate facilities.” Curtis believes that three prin cipal gains must be made to im prove farm marketing facilities in North Carolina: 1. Improved technology. 2. Some expansion and addi tion of facilities. 3. Increased efficiency. “We’re competing for national CONSIDER j™ jJpMfQMp’ IT’S'YOURS Plpfjl for the asking _^4_PL There’s an old saying, "Confession Is good for the soul.” How true it is! \ , Whenever you attend an Episcopal Church, you'll see and hear the entire congregation, at one time dar ing the service, kneel in oral confession. The thing to remember about confession is that confession in itself is not the end. It is the means to the end that God through Jesus Christ has promised us forgive ness and remission of our sins. That’s the important thing. God, In His goodness and love for mankind, has promised us forgiveness of oar sins. It’S not a ques tion of "doing something for God” to achieve that forgiveness. It’s yours for the asking. Forgiveness is yours, bat you mast ask for it— humbly and sincerely. Yes, confession is good for the soul; but remember, with os it’s only a means to an end.

We must train more efficient market managers, and they must be able to compete on every level with marketing men from other areas.” But the most efficient and modern marketing system cannot stay in business without a farm production system that hias three basic elements, Curtis warns: 1. Quality “Consumers demand top quali ty farm goods these days,” says Curtis. “The business goes to the farmers who can supply top notch products consistently.” 2. Volume “Our marketing environment is based on large volume,” Cur tis says. “We must have vol ume to compete with other areas.” 3. Dependable supply “Many times in the past, Tar Heel farmers have destroyed marketing attempts by not pro ducing a steady supply of pro ducts,” says Curtis. “People in other areas are willing if we ;hang back.” The time is passing when Tar Heel farmers can expect to get prices for their products above the national average, Curtis says. “Now we’ve got to increase our yields per unit, in order to sell for competitive prices.” North Carolina production per FOR Contract AND Repair Work CALL Twiddy Insurance & Real Estate, Inc.

The same thing is true of many livestock products, such as milk per cow and eggs per hen, he adds. “If other producers can earn I a profit at prices Which are less than our costs of production, then they will survive and we will be forced out of produc tion,” he says. “Production ef ficiency—which depends so much on high yields—must keep pace with competitive areas.”.
