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
<i ed that the town of Edenton,
' civic clubs, and others be in
* Vited to assist them with the
.* program.
v H. A. Leary, Camden district
i supervisor, was selected to give
the welcome for the Albemarle
1 Soil Conservation District. Chair
, man Bunch declined because of
a recent illness. Mr. Leary is
| the vice chairman of the dis
■* trict. Committees were ap-
T pointed by Mr. Bunch to se
* cure certain things needed for
* the dedication and ground
* breaking services.
An invitation is being extend
* ed by the supervisors to the
* Cherry Point Marine Band. It
J* is hoped that a short band con
« cert can be held just prior to
J the 2 P. M. program.
» Work Unit Conservationist J.
£ H. Griffin and Chowan County
>*' 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.
