ASC Election September 25 ARC County Committee Election Convention Reg The county convention where farmer-choseir dele gates will elect farmers to fill vacancies on the Cho wan County Agricultural Stabilization and Conserva tion (ASC) Committee will be held September 25 at 10 A. M. at the Ohowan ASCS office, according to A. C. Griffin, chairman, ASC County Committee. The convention will be open to the public, and any person interested in ob serving the voting proced ure may attend. However, only fanner - delegates to the convention may partici pate in the election pro cess. Election is by secret ballot. County committeemen are elected for three-year staggered terms, and the service of each county committeemen is limited to three consecutive terms. Each year the convention also elects a first and a second alternate committee man, each for a one-year term. After the county commit teemen are elected, the delegates vote again to de termine which of the regu lar committeemen will serve as chairman and vice chairman for the coming year. These positions are redetermined annually. ASC county and com munity committeemen are in charge of the local ad ministration of such farm action programs as the ag ricultural CQnservation pro gram, the cropland adjust ment program, the feed grain program, the wheat program, the upland cotton diversion program, acreage allotments and marketing quotas, the national wool program, commodity price support loans, and storage facility loans. A qualified candidate for service on the ASC Coun ty Committee, the chair man explained, is one who is a resident eligible to vote in one of the community elections in the county, and who meets other eligibility requirements. Eligibility to vote or hold office as a committee man is not restricted by reason of sex, race, color, religion or national origin. Other details as to qualifi cations of candidates are available at the ASCS county office. Any questions on eligi bility to hold office as an ASC county committeeman will be decided by the in cumbent county committee subject to appeal to the state committee; the con vention would proceed, however, on the basis of the county committee deci sion. Mr. Griffin urged all ASC farmer - delegates to be sure to attend the coun ty convention. These farm ers were automatically chosen as convention dele gates when they were elected recently by their farmer neighbors to serve as ASC community commit teemen for the coming year. In two years of the cur rent GI Bill, nearly 750,- 000 veterans and service men have entered school or training. WANTED!

OVERMAN 4-H PuKet Show and Sato Thursday Morning: The annual 4-H pullet dhow and sale will be held at the Edenton armory grounds at 10 o’clock Thursday morning of this week, September 19. Peo ple who are interested in a few layers for home use have an opportunity to pur chase good pullets at this sale. Eight 4-H Club members have 4-H pullet projects this year. They will ex hibit and sell seven of their best pullets from each of the flocks. These birds are from high egg producing strains of the Rhode Island red breed. Receipts from the sale are used each year to perpetuate the project the following year. Check Peanut Maturity: This time of year peanut growers begin to look at their fields and get the itch to dig. Each year some growers start digging too early and immaturity re duces the yield, the grade and the sale price. Using a pitchfork or a rake, each grower should take up some plants in several different spots scat tered over each field and examine them carefully for maturity. The desired ma turity will be reached when about 65 per cent to 70 per cent of the kernels are showing a good pink color and the hulls are begin ning to darken inside. The warmer weather this sea son has provided the heat units more favorable for peanut progress. Extension Peanut Specialist Astor Perry says that the ad vancement of peanuts this year is about 10 days ahead of that of the last two years, therefore, we are ex pecting this crop to reach a normal maturity before damage of frost. I want to urge every grower to check his fields carefully every four to five days. Try to dig when IF YOUR THING IS HISTORY... Then you’ll really be turned on with the multitude of historical lore to be found in the Albemarle.

County Farms maturity appears to be night for best returns. Chowan County Fair: The annual Chowan Coun ty Fair will be staged at the American Legion Fair Grounds next week, Sep tember 23-28. The success of the fair depends upon a good display of quality exhibits. I am informed that the County Fair premium book has been distributed over the county. Look through the premium book, select commodities you have to enter and be sure that they are of the best quality pos- 1 sible. You will note on page 31 j of the premium book an | entry for cured meat. This covers cured hams, should- j ers and sides. This is a' new department this year ■and a special effort is be ing made to have an ex hibit of home cured pork. Let’s make this a good di vision by exhibiting home cured meats. Also, there is a livestock division which often times is rather limited in exhib its. I hope that livestock growers will participate in this and help make this di vision a success. Entries must be in by 6 P. M. Monday, if pos sible. Positive Proof Gladstone used to tell his friends about a neighbor’s little girl who really be lieved in prayer. Her brother had made a trap that caught little sparrows and she prayed that it might fail. Suddenly her face be came radiant and for three days she prayed hard, and her faith was so absolute that her mother asked one morning, “Julia, why are you so sure your prayer will be answered?” Julia smiled, “I know that my prayer will be answered, because I went out there three days ago and kicked the trap to pieces.” —— I - v I J i > 'ijy it' j BIG VOLUNTEER—Nathan Dali was surprised when he discovered a huge watermelon growing in Mrs. nail’s flower garden.
