THURSDAY. JULY 8, 1926
The towns in the Roanoke-
Chowan section are lining up
with the Eastern Carolina Cham
ber of Commerce. Seaboard, in
Northampton, is one of the latest.
The great trouble heretofore has
been that the towns join and then
wait for the central office to do
the rest. Joining alone will not
do the work. We need active
local organizations in every town
to work in cooperation with the
central body. There are great
opportunities passing right be
fore us all the time. We need
observant business men to grab
them as they pass.
THE ROAD SITUATION
The public road situation in
^Northampton is not very en
couraging to those who want to
see every town and community
center in the county connected
up with a road that can be used
for ordinary traffic for 52 weeks
in the year. The county meet
ing advertised to be held at Jack
son last Monday to formulate
plans did not materalize for the
reason hardly a dozen pebple
were present to attend the meet
ing. It was postponed to Wed
nesday, August 18
During the intervening weeks
this paper will publish all the
plans suggested, beginning next
week, together with such ob
servations as may seem best.
CONDI riON OF CROPS
Weather conditions have been
good during the past week thru
out the Roanoke Chowan section
for all crops. The rainfall has
been unevenly distributed but no
large areas have suffered for
lack of rain.
Ail crops have made good
growth except lice infected cot
ton fields. Cotton chopping con
tinued up to July, the latest,
perhaps, known here before.
Much of the cotton has made a
good growth, but the large acre
age of bare fields is bound to cut
down the total yields Hardly a
field can be found that does not
contain large spots on which
there is no cotton. There is a
poor stand of peanuts also in
many fields. Corn is in better
condition than any other staple
crop. It is fine.
A larger acreage is being plant
ed in soybeans than ever before.
The soybean is fast becoming
one of the main crops of this
section.
The irish potato crop was poor.
