SOL CONSERVATION NEWS

Suatmac Cotw Crop
What can I seed on my land
in the feed-grain program that
will protect and improve it,
seems to be the question of
many farmers. I hate to leave
it “laying-out” this summer
growing weeds, say many of
these farmers.
Frankly, since crotalaria has
been black-balled, we don’t have
a good soil conservation cover
crop for sandy land. A new
plant, Hairy Indigo, is being
tried in Chowan County on a
few farms. Hairy Indigo is a
summer annual adapted to the
Gulf Coast from Florida to Tex
as. It grows fairly well on mod
erately poor sandy land. It has
a low lime requirement. It
serves as a conservation crop
or pasture crop or hay crop, i
Hairy Indigo is resistant to the
root-knot nematode and is a
legume. The plant resembles
crotalaria in being resistant to
root-knot nematode and will I
grow on poor sandy land.
The Chowan County Supervis
ors at their meeting this month
decided Hairy Indigo should bej
tried and will handle seed or-;
ders for it since local seed deal
ers do not have the seed avail-■
able. I
Seed have been located for 23
cents per pound delivered in
Edenton. Seeding rate is 10 lbs.
per acre.

ja few acres of Hairy Indite cm- j

crops that can be used include

i Mo3t of you are familiar with

new in Chowan County. It is
used in Pasquotank, Camden and
Currituck Counties on poorly
drained, heavy soils, usually be
hind white potatoes. It can be
seeded as late as July and is a
very good cover crop.
Conservation Farm Plans
R. C. Byrum, Tyner, N. C.,
and Eugene Jordan, Tyner, N. C.
have prepared conservation farm
plans this month. Both said they
were well pleased with their
plans and that every farmer
ought to take a few days from
his busy shedule and prepare a
conservation farm plan. The ob
jective of the conservation farm
plan is to use every acre within
its capability and treat it ac
cording to its needs. Both of
these plans met that objective.
Canaan's Temple Group Project
A. C. Harrell, Route 2, Eden
ton, will be accepting bids for
construction of the drainage pro

and specifications are available
at the local SCS office in the
Post Office Building, Edenton.
There are 33 landowners in the
project. The canal will be 9,350
feet long with 14,515 cubic yards
of excavation.

1 to handle the matter of drink
ing at all. And because our re
sponsibilities in this world in
clude our brothers, we ought ,not
to contribute to their downfall.
The church sees in the liquor
industry a foe that would un
dermine the morals of our na
tion; therefore it makes ,no peace
with the business. The church
calls upon every member to lead
the life of sobriety and to op
pose the liquor traffic unrelent
ingly.
} Obviously we must deny our
selves some things in order to
! achieve others. This is why
self-discipline is so important.
| Jesus spoke of the narrow
gate and the hard way that lead
to life (Matthew 7:14). The
principle implied in his state
ment may be observed in every
area of our living.
A mature Christian is one who
possesses a fair amount of
Christian truth and applies this
truth to his own life. He does
not merely see facts objectively;
he identifies himself with these
facts by an act Os will. Which
brings us to an important truth
for the Christian in his daily
life: He must discipline himself
to .do those things which he
ought to do, doing them with
joy if he can, but as a duty if
he must. Our greatest satisfac
tions will be found to stem from
this steadfastness of purpose.
Christian discipline obviously
means better Church attendance,
more faithful prayer life, more
generous giving of our material
and spiritual support to the
church. When we recognize
these significant results, we see
that mature Christians, not spir
itual adolescents, are needed in
the church.
Let us, therefore, as Christians,
lift up our voices to God, and
implore Him to help us rise
above those indulgences that de
stroy us; let us pray that He
will grant us vision to see our
selves as He has intended for us
to be—His creatures, clean in
body, mind and soul. <
