Privette Enlists Support For Project
Rev. Coy C. Privette,
president of the N.C. Baptist
State Convention,
challenged the State
Missions Committee of the
Chowan Baptist Association
here Monday to help raise
$1,385,000 for the September
State Missions Offering and
to,assist in enlisting 1,000 lay
persons to inform N.C.
Baptists of the open doors
for spiritual ministries that
we have in our state.
He especially asked
Chowan Baptist, composed
of 57 churches, to consider a
goal of $20,000 toward the
state-wide effort and enlist
25 area Baptists for the
state-wide task force.
Privette said that $1.2-
million of this year’s goal
virill.be applied to the $1.7
million debt of the con
vention. “With the in
debtedness erased,” the
convention president stated,
“Then, we will have the
available funds to undergird
direct mission needs at the
associational level.” “We

resources for these projects
and involve that great
number of lay people
especially the retired for the
man-power and who are
open .to a challenge of
Christian service.,”
Privette stressed. “With the
debt eliminated, this would
make available $150,000 in
interest alone, and this
could be applied to some
very urgent mission
projects,” Privette con
cluded.
Meeting with the con
vention president at a
luncheon held at Mrs.
Boswell’s Restaurant were:
E.N. (Pete) Manning,
member-at-large; Mrs.
Glenn Lane, area secretary;
Mrs. Janet Hurdle of Sandy
Cross Church in Hobbsville,
association Acteen director;
Mrs. Geraldine Humphries
of Eure, association WMU
director. Mike Aydlett of
Shiloh Baptist Church,
Camden is also a member of
the committee but was
unable to be present for the
luncheon.
Plans call for the com
mittee to formulate a
strategy to inform, inspire,
and motivate area Baptists
to reach their goal of
$20,000; to develop mission
projects that would involve
lay people in meaningful
mission endeavors; and
provide opportunities for the
age-group mission
organizations in the local
churches to be involved in
this challenge.
Privette also announced
that Mrs. Lane will be the
chairman of the
associational committee.
The secretary bird of South
Africa goto its name because
long quills at the back of its
head make it look like an old
time secretary with a quill
pen stuck behind his ears.

Depends On A Good Start
Getting a good start is
MMntial to a successful
crop year, Chowan County
farmers are being remin
ded, and the ingredients of a
good start are well prepared
land, high quality seed and
proper planting.
“We can have a good
Rowing season or a poor
cine, but all of the things that
affect the crops later on
won’t make any difference
one way or another unless
we get off to a good start,”
R.M. Thompson, county
extension chairman, said.
. Thompson urged farmers
to do a thorough job in
launching the 1977 farming
season.
As for land preparation, it
can be overdone just as
easily as underdone.
“Farmers don’t want to use
a lot of fuel, time and money
going over and over a piece
of land unnecessarily,”
Thompson remarked.
“As far as the planter
operation is concerned, the
soil need only be loosened
enough for good seed
coverage and smooth
enough not to bounce the
seed out of the seed plate,”
he added. “The last point is
particularly important
where planters with inclined
plates are used.”
Planting factors that have
to be watched closely in
clude speed of operating the
planter, using the correct
size seed plate for the seed
being used, and planting at
the right depth.
Other important con
siderations are soil moisture
and temperature. Seed are
slow to germinate in dry soil
or in soil that is too cold.
“Farmers should
remember that soil tem
perature doesn’t warm up
as fast as the air tem
perature over it,” Thomp
son cautioned.
As important as all the
other factors mentioned is
the selection of good quality
seed. “Certified seed is the
farmer’s best insurance
against poor stands, impure
varieties and other
problems that often ac
company uncertified, poor
quality seed,” Thompson
said.
Variety selection has a
direct bearing on profits
from farm crops, and
Chowan County farmers are
being urged to check on the
varieties suggested for
planting locally before
buying seed.
“Planting the best
varieties can increase per
acre profits by S2O to $30,”
says R.M. Thompson,
Chowan County Extension
Chairman.
Variety selection is
becoming more complicated
each year. New varieties
may have disease and insect
resistance and produce high
yields too. Variations in row
spacing and cropping
systems require selection of
a suitable variety for each
system.
Thompson suggested
looking for varieties
with high yields, disease and
insect resistance, stan
dability, and an acceptable
maturity date.
Many farmers take for
granted that their present
variety is best for their
farm. If you haven’t
changed varieties in the
past three or four years,
chances are that new
varieties are available that
have advantages over the
old varieties.
“We have measured crop
performance data available
in our office and can assist
our farmers in the
evaluation of available
varieties,” Thompson said.
The measured crop
performance data provides
an unbiased evaluation of
com, sorghum, soybeans,
and cotton varieties. In
addition, knowledge other
farmers experience with
new varieties is available.
“Don’t take for granted
that the variety you are now
growing is the best variety
for your farm. The choice of
the best variety can in
crease the potential yield
and profit from your limited
acres,” Thompson said.

Canning Lids
Are Plentiful
By JULIE BENDER
N.C. State University
If you had trouble getting
all the canning lids you
needed last year then you’ll
be happy to hear the picture
should be better this year.
According to the United
States Department of
Agriculture, manufacturers
plan to place over four
billion lids on the market
this year, more than twice
(he number manufactured
in 1975.
Lids will be shipped to the
southern states first,
followed by shipments into
the north as the canning
season approches that area.
Be sure to select the
correct size lid for your
canning jars. Last year’s
market included a number
of foreign-made brands
which did not fit perfectly on
the jars used in many
homes.
