The fund-raising campaign scheduled for this fall is the second phase of a long-range de velopment program inaugurated by the Chowan trustees in 1957.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE The availability of divine pro tection will be brought out in Christian Science services Sun day. Highlighting the Lesson- I Sermon on the subject of “Love” is the Golden Text: “The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.” (Zepha niah 3). This citation will be read from “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Bak er Eddy (p. 571); “At all times and under all circumstances, overcome evil with good. Know thyself, and God will supply the wisdom and the occasion for a victory over evil. Clad in the panoply of Love, human hatred cannot reach you.” From the Bible will be read this verse from Psalm 84: “Bless ed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still prais ing thee.” TRY A UKKALI> CLASSIFIED AROUND THE FARMS jfgllN CHOWAN COUNTY j By C.

This Is National Farm Safely i Week: “Safety Is A Family • Affair.” Let’s ask ourself these ’ questions, “Am I Morally Re sponsible?” Do I take unnecessary chances 1 while driving or performing ■ farm work? Do I let children ride on the tractor or otherwise! ■ carelessly? (After one is in jured it is too late). Are my 1 children ever left alone in the farm home? Am I courteous to other drivers and pedestrians? Has my home and farm build ings been carefully inspected for safety hazards and these hazards removed in the last six months? Do I, as a parent, know andj understand what steps should bej taken if a child eats poison? | Have you learned how to ad- j I minister the mouth-to-mouth re-1 Isuscitation? Are my driveways and intersections near my farm ‘clear from view obstructions for the safety of passing motorists? If you can truthfully answer to these questions you are safety conscious, otherwise you have hazards. Os course, there I are many other safety hazards. According to the National Safety Council, in 1959, farm residents experienced. 5,300 deaths and over 200,000 disabling injuries by motor vehicles; 2,- 700 deaths and 400,000 disabtli (ties in home accidents; 3,400 deaths and over 300,000 disabili ties in work accidents; and 900 deaths and 120,000 disabilities in other accidents. This is a total of 11,700 deaths and over one million disabling injuries to farm people of the United States in one year. Last Sunday evening my best bird dog was killed on the high way. I have a pen and usually j kept him in it except to run j out a little each day. This time 1 1 neglected penning him before | going to church. I know now | I what I should have done but it ‘ is too late. “Let’s Live and Let j Live Safely.” i ( Watermelon Troubles: During! the last three weeks I have hadj many calls relative to diseased! watermelons. I have visited many fields and sent several plant specimens to the Plant Di sease Clinic at N. C. State Col lege. Diagnostic reports show the main trouble to be Downy Mil dew. There is some light infec tion of fusarium wilt. The spot ted cucumber beetle has caused much damage in some fields. In' addition to feeding damage, the beetles have helped spread the disease organisms. The crop and disease is gen erally too far advanced for con trol measures to be effective now. The control of both the insects and diseases are preven tion and not cure. If we will let this year’s experience be a lesson to us by which we will profit, next year we will apply a combination insecticide-fungi cide regularly from the begin ning. Control of downy mildew and • t insects may be accomplished by applying and meloij dust , (combination for insects and di- ; sease) «rasry ten days beginning about |ne 10. Use rate recommended by manufac- | urer. . • Reminders: File your appli cation for Federal tax Refund, on farm used gasoline. Take soil samples on land to be seed ed to pasture this fall. SUrt planting the fall vegetable gar den. Dust yobr cotton eVery five days. • R R.C.RIOttMAY* Raleigh The Motor Vehicles Department’s summary of traffic deaths through 10 A.
