AROUND THE FARMS ; ifeglN CHOWAN COUNTY | t By C. W. OVERMAN. Chowan County Agent 1 What Corn Variety Will Best! Suit Your Needs This Year? In i Jahtiary I mailed eaeh farmer on my mailing list a copy of the results of the 1960 corn variety test demonstrations conducted in 'Chowan County. If you filed this for future reference as was recommended, you might refer to it. The most desirable variety is one which produces a high yield, j places the ear not too high on the stalk, has a stalk which | stands well, has a good grain j quality and is resistant to weev-| ils. Full season yellow corns falling in this class in our 1960 demonstrations were Pioneer 309A, Pioneer 3098, Speight D-4, and Pfeister 487. Two others falling in this class except hav ing ears higher on the stalk are Dixie 18 and Dixie 82. Medium; season varieties showing best yield were Pfeister 434, Dekalb 1002, and Woods VSIA. Early varieties showing high yields were Funk’s G-144, Funks G-78, Watson 516, Pioneer 342A and Pioneer 345A. White full sea son varieties showing a good 'standability and quality with above average yield were Coker 911 and Dixie 29. Medium sea son white was Funks GSO9W. Tobacco Sled Rows: Sled rows in tobacco fields must not be planted to any crop, according to ASC regulations. If any crop is grown in the sled row, the row will be counted as tobacco in the acreage. Growers should remember this and not get caught because destroying the crop will not correct the situa tion, ASC says. You Can Grow Beautiful Roses: You can grow beautiful roses if you are willing to follow the ne cessary practices. Disease con trol is a must. Select a well-drained fertile site which gets full sun. Now is a good time to plant. Set plants about three feet apart in holes large enough to take root spread. Cut plants back to about five inches high. Mulch plants with 2 to 3 inches of rotten ma nure. Each year when flower buds show, apply one teacupful of 8-8-8 fertilizer per plant at least one foot from the plant.

You Con Grow Good Fruit at Home: You can grow good fruit at home if you will grow fruits whirh require a minimum of care and generally do not re quire spraying. In this category we find strawberries, Rabbiteye blueberries and Scuppernong and ether varieties of Muscadine grapes. Strawberries should be grown in rows four feet wide and set two to three feet apart in the row. Right now is an excellent time to set strawberry plants for next year’s crop. A new planting should be made every two to three years. Muscadine grapes have to be scaffolded either on wires or an overhead arbor. The scaffold-| ing must be kept up in good shape and the vines not allowed to get too thick. The vines should be thinned each Novem ber or December and from three to five pounds of 8-8-8 fertilizer applied per vine 6 to 10 feet from the base of the vine. Rabbiteye blueberries make a very attractive shrub, are not soj sensitive to our normal soil con-! ditions and bear excellent fruit. These should be set about 8 feet apart. Only moderate prun-1 ing is necessary. About the only need for spraying would be to control any insects. Each plant should receive Vi pound of, 8-8-8 fertilizer for each yetr the' plant is of age until the plants are 5 or 6 years old, then an annual application of about two to three pounds per plant is am ple. Blueberries should be well mulched with well rotted saw-] dust 4 to 6 inches at the plant] and extending out at least two to three feet from the plant 20 YEAKS AGO Continued from Rage 1. Section 1 Chowan County's Draft Board sent five more colored men to Fort Bragg as inductees from THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY. MARCH 18. 1961 \ ABUNDANT LIFE WHAT IS ABUNDANT LIFE? My ministry is called the "Abundant Life Ministry.” For the past 13 years Ijiave been going up and down the land, into every state and many, many areas overseas, preaching the message of Abundant Life. What is Abundant Life? Abundant Life is what Christ has in store for those who ac cept Him and trust Him to meet all their needs —physical, spiritual and material. Abundant Life is Christ, giv ing back to you everything the devil has taken away from you. Abundant Life is Christ, tak ing off you everything the devil has put on you. Abundant Life is Christ, tak ing out of you everything the devil has put in you. Abundant Life is Christ put ting back into you everything the devil has taken out of you. This is life —the Abundant Life. How can you receive Abun dant Life? By repenting of your sins before Christ, by accept ing Christ as your personal Sav iour and then —and these are the most important steps—be lieving that Christ has accepted you, and living with the feeling that Christ has saved your soul. When you find Christ, it is then that abundant living be gins! You then learn that no fear, however great, can defeat you because Christ is walking by your side. Chowan County. 1 Further improvements were made at Hotel Joseph Hewes when the coffee shop was re decorated. At a long meeting of Town Council John F. White, town at torney, was instructed to in vestigate what amount of bonds the town would be permitted to sell in order 16 inaugurate an extensive improvement program which included hard-surfacing practically all unpaved streets and curbs and gutters in the cot ton mill village. Chowan County was included in a dozen bale-to-the-acre cot ton counties in a final review by the State Department of Agri culture. Chowan High School seniors You learn that no material need, however great, can get you down. You have Christ to iean on. Remember that God answers prayer for material needs just as He answers prayer for spiritual needs. So in times of need, God is there to help you through those dark days. People who trust in God to see them through are never disappointed! As a Christian, when you be come ill, when medical science in all its God-given power fails to make you well, you know that you can turn to. Christ. Christ is everything good. The devil is everything bad. With Christ by your side to help you, illness does not take on the import that it would if you were not a believing Chris tian. For now you know that Christ has the power to heal that sick body of yours. Christ spent two-thirds of His earthly ministry healing the sick. So there’s no doubt in your mind. You know God can heal you! And He will when you believe and expect Him to heal you. Abundant living is freedom from the fear that arises from material problems, spiritual problems and illness. When you really accept Christ as your Saviour, and be ; lieve, then you are oa the road to Abundant Lifel 1 presented a three-act comedy "Feudin' In The Hills" in the school auditorium.

Following a number of com plaints Town Councilman order ed the police to crack down on speeders who were reported traveling 60 to 6S mile, per hour on Broad Street. Leroy Haskett resigned as Po lice Commissioner, thereby trans ferring the jurisdiction of police upon the Mayor. Town Councilmen W. M. Wil kins and O. B.

Since 1951, when the first Morehead Scholars were chosen, 419 young men have been bene fited. The total cash value of these scholarships has been a little over $1,500,000. The total amount of money in the Morehead Foundation for the scholarships has gone up each year. An amount undisclosed supports the 138 young men no\ in me University unuer the pro gram—but it is well above $3 million. The eventual goal: to have 400 Morehead' Scholars in the Uni versity at one time —or select about 100 a year. Even prior to reaching that goal, it seems obvious that the Morehead Scholars are tops in ■the nation today for undergrad uates, unexcelled by any other scholarship awards to students from freshmen through the sen ior year in any American col lege or university. The Morehead Scholars are uneclipsed by any other for the following reasons: 1. The scholarships pay all ex penses, plus extra spending money. 2. There have been more than 40 awarded each year for the past several years—l3B at UNC now. 3. Each scholarship is valued at $5,000 for the four years—end more for students coming from out of the state. 4. Individual scholarships at some few institutions may amount to more than $5,000 or $6,000 for the four years how ever, it costs more to attend those schools, such as the Ivy League universities. Paying all academic expenses at Chapel Hill, plus a bit more for spend ing money, is unique. And this is done for dozens and dozens of students. 5. The quality of education is illustrated by the fact that the University of North Carolina is one of 41 Institutions of higher learning in the JMHfltt having' muntomahip hi the American As -2. ' ~-i 1 . . ” j sociation of Universities, a body] dedicated to high standards of I scholarly achievement. More over, a program for honor stu dents—those specially talented— is open at Chapel Hill for those who are capable of advancing as far and as fast as their in tellectual promise indicates, and a high percentage of the More head Scholars have qualified for that stepped-up program.
