Presting Equipment
I What kind of pressing equip
ment do you have? “With little
effort, at no cost, I have found ;
that I can make my own press
ing equipment,” reports Mrs.
Robert Porter, Plymouth.
“As a result of the demonstra
tion on pressing techniques by
our home economics agent, Mrs.
Frances Darden, I know I will
do a much better job pressing
my garments, especially these
synthetic materials,” she says.
Kitchen Clinic
Fourteen Home Demonstration
Club women recently attended a
kitchen clinic in Anson County.
Mrs. Bill Kiker was especially
interested since she is planning
to build a new home.
Mrs. Ada Dalla Pozza, home
economics agent, says that Mrs._
C. B. Bunn. Mrs. George Rob-i
inson, Mrs. Ernest Taylor and
Mrs. H. L. Tice worked on def
inite plans for kitchen improve
ment.

Successful Year For
Soil Conservation
Continued from Page 1, Section 1
Woodland practices increased
during the last fiscal year. One.
hundred and ninety-six acres of]
trees were set as compared to'
83 acres the year before. Part]
of this increase was due to the
cooperation of Union Bag-Camp
and Halifax Paper Company in
the tree-purchasing program.
Three hundred and forty-seven j
acres of woodland weeding was|
completed as compared to 50
acres the year before. 14,4001
feet firelanes were construct-1
ed. Most of the firelanes were
prepared with the K/G blatle.
Gilliam Wood made his fire
lanes 40 feet wide and planted
wildlife food borders on each
side and annual food mixtures
in the center.
Drainage practices received at
tention. Four miles of six-inch
drain tile was installed, 6.4 miles
of mains and laterals and 5.8
miles of group drainage projects
completed. A fairly “new” prac
tice in the district is grass wa
terways. 4.5 acres were estab
lished this past fiscal year while
only 2.4 acres had been estab
lished prior to fiscal 1960.
Conservation Farm Plans
J. B. Bunch and B. W. Evans
are scheduled this month for
technical assistance in preparing
basic soil and water conservation
plans on their farms. Gilliam
Wood is revising his old con
servation plan.
Drainage
Eugene Jordan, Tyner, is con
structing open ditches as plan
ned in May, 1961 in his basic
conservation plan. An impound
ed pond will be constructed this
month, too.
Canaan’s Temple group drain
age project will soon be com
pleted. Construction started in
June and will be finished this
week. Thirty-five farms will
benefit from these canals. This
gjroup started work on their
drainage project in 1960. The
necsesary field work was done
by SCS through the district pro-
sar?. * M

“lf you are not sold on the
value of a kitchen exhaust fan,
you should talk with Mrs. Ray I
Buckner in Madison County,”
says Mrs. Ruby Corpening, as
sistant home economics agent.
Mrs. Buckner says, “Since I
have had my exhaust fan in
stalled, my house stays cleaner,
windows do not need cleaning
as often, and I do not have food
odors and smoke in my house.”
Commercial Vegetable Project
Mary Bartles, Union Mills,
Route 2, is interested in grow
ing vegetables for the market.
Mary got off to a good start by
having her garden soil tested.
She followed recommendations
for fertilizing and then planted
one-half acre of green beans,
squash and okra.
Mrs. Shirley Koone, assistant
i home economics agent in Ruth
lerford County, says Mary has
already found a market for her
produce. To broaden her inter
est in marketing, Mary entered
the vegetable marketing demon
stration contest.
"Slew Day" In Edgecombe
West Edgecombe Home Dem
onstration Club women recently
had their annual “stew day” at
the home of Mrs. T. G. Burgess.
Each club member did her part
jin mixing and stirring the
| Brunswick stew in big pots out
jin the backyard.
Mrs, Eugenia P. VasLanding
jham, home economics agent, re-
I ports the women sponsor the
I stew sale as their annual found
raising project. Some 325
j quarts of stew were sold this
year.
gram. In 1961 the group asked
for and received ACP cost-share
assistance. Albemarle Electric
Membership Corporation, Hert
ford, cooperated by moving the
necessary light poles. N. C.
' Highway Department furnished
1 the group about 8 acres of right
i of-way clearing. The landown-
I ers are proud of this project and
justly so.
Contacting District Cooperators
SCS personnel are contacting
every district cooperator in the
] Chowan Unit. Purpose is to de-
I termine if the cooperator needs
I assistance, if he wishes, to con-
I tinue as a cooperator and what
I part of his basic conservation
■ farm plan he has Carried out.
. District supervisors ■Jt'ant as co
operators only those landowners
who want to carry out a basic
soil and water conservation plan
on their land. Reason for this
action is the limited amount of
technical assistance available.
The district supervisors feel that
one good cooperator is worth tea
lor more “do-nothing” coopera
tors.
