through May 0.
Tne setting aside of a week
each year to honor Home 1 . m
onstration work, provides an op
portunity to let all the p- pie
know of the great contn. : i
being made by the Home Dem
onstration work in the gr ess
of our County, State and Na
tion.
This work has been going on
for a number of years, but mere
is no loss need for it no' . than
when it first began, as a teacher
fresh from college step into
his classroom for the first time
f : nds it filled with eager prnils
to be taught and on th ■ last
day when age has forced h : m
to retire he leaves the room still
filled with youth to be trailed.
There will always be 1- di
ners. There will always 1 t ovv

Demonstration Women is far
reaching. It extends to the civic,
social, religious ar.d educational
affairs of the community.
Home Demonstration work in
Chowan County began in 1946.
We have had two home agents—
Mrs. Esther B. Hoscoe from 1946-
1949 and Mrs. Onnk S. Charl
ton from 1949 to the present
timer Both of them are hard
workers.
Our home agent endeavors to
help the people to become con
scious of the -condition of their
surroundings and willing to do
something about improving it.
Then by her aid. Home Dem
onstration work taught them
how to take things they some
times had discarded or thought
worthless and make them into
beautiful articles which greatly
improved things around the
house and yard. So many
homes have been made more at
tractive. Yards and lawns cor
rectly and artistically arranged,
house work made easier, income
increased by saving on garden,
poultry and eggs, and also
learning to make simple gar
ments of clothing which other
wise would have to be purchas
ed. Making the house and yard
look better is just half of the
battle because the proper prepa

SOIL CONSERVATION NEWS
By JAMES H. GRIFFIN, Soil Conservationist
The Feed-Grain Program of
fers you an opportunity to get
in several needed soil conser
"vation practices on your farm
! this summer. First, ycu can
build up the soil fertility while
j protecting the land by using one
of the summer cover crops. Mil
let makes a good summer cover
crop. \ It will grow on most of
the land in Chowan County. It
I can be seeded in May or June
with little cost or trouble. Hairy
Indigo is being used in South
eastern North Carolina on deep
sands in place of crotalaria. It
shows'great promise on low-fer
tility sands. Some farmers are
still using crotalaria where they (
are hand-picking their corn or!
f using a corn picker. Crotalaria !
| is still the best soil-builder we {
have for poor sandy land. Giant j
Striata is the best variety to
use. If you use crotalaria you
will need to destroy the volun
teer plants next year especially i
if you plant soybeans behind the
crotalaria. Best crop behind
crotalaria is corn or peanuts.
By the way, the Hairy Indigo
' mentioned above is resistant to
most nematodes. Velvet bean
cowpeas and soybeans make a
good summer 'cover crop. For
details on summer cover crops
see your county agent or the
;oil conservationist.

The Albemarle Soil Conserva

"We owe everything to our Cre
ator. He has blessed us with
productive land and other nat
ural lesourcss. Let's show our
thanks by being good stewards.
The earth is the Lord’s . . . we
are His stewards. I heard an
old man say once that a man
has never been buried on his
own land. At first. I didn’t get
his point but after thinking a
minute, I knew the answer. A
man does not own the land, he
has it only while he lives.
When he dies the land passes
on to someone else. The land
belongs to God for use of His
people during their life on this
earth. Remember this and
treat your land as a good stew
ard . . . practice conservation.
Your local soil conservation dis
trict is proud to sponsor Soil
Stewardship Week for you.
Contour Rows
W. E. Bond has planned and
applied contour rdws in his to
bacco field. Erosion has been
taking his land away for years.
He is determined to keep his
good land. Besides the contour
rows, he has a small grain-fes
cue rotation started for his to
bacoc. Interceptor drains are
being tried in another tobacco
field to stop erosion. Sericea
lespedeza has been seeded along"
the steep slopes next to the
woods for erosion control. Mr.
Bond says it takes a lot of
changes to stop erosion.
Conservation Plans
Eugene Jordan of Tyner- and
Thomas O. Harrell of Edenton
are scheduled to get assistance
this month in preparing conser
vation plans on their farms.
John Raines of Edenton is pre
paring a conservation plan on
his woodlands this month. Tech
nical assistance is being furnish

marle Soil Conservation District.
This assistance will come from
the Soil Conservation Service. ‘
