SENATOR A
SAM ERVIN JfLgj^
f. WASHINGTON The Sen
ate Subcommittee on Air and
jjSTatcr Pollution has been
Conducting hearings on pro
#>6sed amendments to imple
jnent the Water Quality Act.
SVater has become a national
Concern, because usable wa-
S4cr supplies have been
shrinking rapidly in recent
years.
Along with other Senators,
-have co-sponsored S. 2947,
bill to take more effective
j|teps to preserve and purify
Our water resources. I sup
jiort S. 2947 for a very prac
tical reason. Several years
ago, the Senate Select Com
hiittce on National Water Re
sources found that water
Supplies are diminishing
jjcarly in relation to . our
National needs. The Select
Committee found that popu
lation and industrial growth
will double our water needs
by 1980 and triple these
heeds by the year 2000. This
ineans that soon our growing
demand for water will be
more than the available sup
ply, and water will have to
be used over and over again
to meet our needs.
»This focuses attention on
the problem. of pollution.
Control of water pollution
stands at the .apex of any
effective water management
program. As the late Sena
tor Kerr • used to say when
he discussed pure water, pol
lution is never a very pleas
ant subject. Yet it exists and

gets worse each year. Man
is: careless in changing what
the Eternal Creator put on
earth in a more beautiful
and pure form. Since man
creates pollution, solving the
problem is not easy. The
Potomac River, in sight of
the Capitol, is. a prime il
lustration of ineffective con
trols to prevent filth from
going into a once pure river.
Last year Congress became
concerned and acting upon a
Presidential recommendation
enacted the most compre
hensive anti-pollution bill to
date. The 1965 Act was a
first step. Already, it needs
to be implemented.
No area of the country is
exempt from water pollution
problems. Summer droughts
have brought water short
ages to all regions of the
country, and pollution be
comes greater when water
levels decline. Our state,
which has abundant water
resources during normal rain
fall months, has not been
exempt frdm concern over
water.
The importance of S. 2947
is that it is not a crash pro
gram, but a long-range one
to coordinate governmental,
industrial, and individual ef
forts to meet water needs
before they become critical.
A herculean task is involv
ed, and no one-shot effort
will bring about a cure.
The measure is a six-year
plan.
Disagreements that once
raged over whether govern
ment had any business deal
ing with water pollution have
abated into disagreements
over the proper role of each
level of government in such
activities. S. 2948 represents
a balanced attempt to bring
individuals and their govern
ments into a coordinated ef
fort to deal with this basic
problem that has plagued
manv other civilizations.
Historians teh us that the
fate of nations has often
been determined bv how well
they controlled fresh water
supplies, and that empires
have vanished when they
failed to cope with the prob
lem in time.
This is a problem that we
must solve if we are to main
tain the basis of life and a
vital civilization in the dec
ades ahead.
THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, APRIL 28, 196#
Soybean Profit Is On Increase
Last year soybeans added
S4B million to North Carolina
farm income. Tar Heel farm
ers have indicated to the
U. S. Agriculture Department
an intention to plant 93,000
more acres to- soybeans this
year an increase of 10
per cent.
If the state’s average per
acre yield is the same as
last year’s (24.5 bushels),
farm income from soybeans
can be expected to increase
by $3.3 million from the
added acres. However, if
through good management
practice's North Carolina
farmers can raise that aver
age yield by 4.5 bushels—
which would bring it up to
the average in Illinois—farm
income for the state will be
increased by sll million.
Moreover, as the National
Soybean Crop Improvement
Council points out, those ex
tra 4.5 bushels can greatly
increase the ratio of profits
to investment, since the high
er yield requires very little
extra labor, seed or fertilizer.
It is not likely that the soil
in Illinois, where the aver
age was 29 bushels, is any
richer than that of our Coas
tal Plains. And we don’t
believe the Midwesterners
are any better farmers.
Nevertheless, as the Soy
bean Council has observed
good cultivation practices
with this crop, from planting
to harvest, can make the
difference between marginal
Delegates Named
To Convention
Two area physicians have
been named delegates from
the Chowan - Perquimans
Medical Society to the House
of Delegates of the Medical
Society of the State of
North Carolina that will meet
in Asheville this week.
Dr. David O. Wright of
Edenton and Dr. T. P. Brinn
of Hertford are delegates to
the meeting. Dr. L. P. Wil
liams, Jr., and Dr. Edward
G. Bond, both of Edenton,
are alternates.
Consideration of the most
recent advances in the field
of medicine is the underlying
theme of the 112th annual
meeting of the society which
gets underway April 30.
The initial session of the
House of Delegates, policy
making body, will be held
at 2 P. M., Sunday. Some
175 delegates from the 77
component county societies
arc anticipated in attendance
at the H6use of Delegates.
profits and a handsome in
come. These practices in
clude chemical and mechani
cal control of weeds, fertiliz
ing, proper planting dates
insect and disease control,
and careful harvesting meth
ods. The Council advises
that the best time to attack
weeds, a major problem in
our area, is early, before the
beans are planted. Producers
also are reminded that chem
ical control of weeds is “a
supplement to, not a substi
tute for,” good cultivation
practice.
But for the best advice on
yields, the Council suggests
farmers consult State exten
sion specialists, who are the
most knowledgeable about
local requirements. "
If North Carolina farmers
can become as expert with
soybeans as they have with
tobacco, they—and the econ
omy of the whole stale—will
benefit immeasurably.
