PAGE TWO N-jacaas c:^; SOU CONSERVATION NEWS By JAMES H. GRIFFIN, Soil Conservationist Supervisors of the Albemarle Sbil Conservation District met| last Wednesday night, October H, at the Chowan Work Unit office in Edenton. Chairman L. C. Bunch called the meeting to make plans for the Burnt Mill Creek dedication and ground s'breaking of Pollock Swamp Wa • tArshed on November 16, near Edenton. It was decided that the cere monies would be held on L. C. . Bunch’s farm in the Pollock j Swamp Watershed. 'His farm is ■ located about 3 miles north of * Edenton on N. C. 32 highway. * The program will start at 2 * P. M„ and last , until about 3:30 * P. M., with tours of the water k sheds after the ceremonies. The board of supervisors ask *' Supervisors H. F. Byrum and J. A. Webb, Jr., were appointed on a committee to work with Chair- I! man Bunch on the local ar ; rangements. Burnt Mill Creek Watershed The final touches are being added to the channels in the *• watershed. A $16,963.80 con-i - tract has been awarded by the j X drainage district for shaping the - spoil, installation of culverts and J surface inlets, land preparation, I j fertilizing, liming and seeding fescue grass along the channels I > for a roadway. )’ Waff Brothers of Edenton was the successful bidder. Mr. Waff Xis making good progress with a lot of the spoil bank sprea^ - and some culouts and surface inlets installed. Seeding of the { fescue will start next week. This work is to be completed before the dedication of the watershed on November 16. Pollock Swamp "When are we going to start the construction of the chan nels” is the question asked by almost every landowner in the watershed. Many landowners have told me that they had to plant thfeir crops over this year due. to the wet condition and flooding in ttfe watershed this spring. They hope" that" next year’s crop will be a better crop with the new channels .giving flood prevention and drainage. Pollock Swamp Watershed has been approved for operations by State Conservationist R. M. Daily of the Soil Conservation Service. When construction starts is now up to the local, organization, Chowan County Drainage District No. 1. Maybe it won’t be long now. The ground-breaking services for the watershed is scheduled for Nopember 16. Donald A. Williams, admini strator of the Soil Conservation, is to make the address for this event. The site selected for the ceremonies is L. C. Bunch’s farm Straight *3 eo 4/s quart ( in the watershed. Mr. Bunch is I chairman of the Albemarle Soil Conservation District as well as a landowner in the watershed. Coastal Bermuda Grass Another good comment has been made by a farmer about coastal bermucla grass pasture. Frank Ward, manager of L. N. Hollowell’s farm says, “Coastal Bermuda grass pasture, if prop erly fertilized, will produce more grazing on one acre thani any other pasture .grass known j to me.” Mr. Ward made this' statement to Conservation Aid G. A. Conner last week when he was helping him with a con servation practice. Many Chowan County farmers who have coastal bermuda grass pastures have found out just what Mr. Ward said. Edgar Earl Hollowell says his second year coastal bermuda grass grew faster this summer • than his cattle could eat it. Mr. Hollowell farms the Oakridge farm of Leary Brothers near ; Edenton. If you have sandy land and 1 want a grass for cattle, try coastal bermuda. Time to start ’ this pasture is March or April. Legion Auxiliary Holds Meeting Edward G.
