Before the land smoothing operation the 23-acre field was Arm cut up with fences, hedgerows and other ob- 1500 feet before turning around, stacles. Now with grassed waterways and par allel terraces Haithcock's tractors can go for Land Smoothing Operations Put Fields In Shape For Tractor Use By NAT WHITE Soli Conservationist Farmers In recent years have found that they must get more efficient. Many Warren County fanners have mechanized their farms and found that extensive changes e needed before the trac tors could be used to best advantage. For maximum ef ficiency the tractors need to run from one site of the field to the other before stopping or turning around. The old terraces that were installed when most farmers were using mules are usually not suited to tractor farming. A complete overhaul of the fields is often needed before the farmer can efficiently farm with tractors without causing serious erosion. In this operation hedgerows, stumps, trees, bench terraces, and all other obstacles are moved from the field. Water ways are shaped, eroded areas top soiled, low places smoothed out, and parallel terraces constructed. The sketches above show a field on C. M. Haithcocks farm near Churchill. Before the land shaping operation Norlina FFA Chapter Meets The Norlina F. F. A. Chap ter held its regular monthly meeting on Friday, December *. President Richard Bender presided over the meeting and Wade Schuster had the devotion. After the opening cere mony, the group sang Christ mas carols, and later played basketball since there was no special business on hand. George Holtzman Reporter Pvt. Richardson Now In Germany U. S. Forces, Germany? Army PFC Weldon F. Rich ardson, whose parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lawarence Rich ardson, live in Warrenton, N. C., is participating with other members of the 51st. Infantry in Exercise SABRE KNOT in Germany. The week-long field train ing maneuver, designed to test winter combat readiness, involves approximately 30, 000 troops. Richardson is assigned as a mortarman in the infantry's Headquarters Company In Mannheim. He entered the Army in October, 1981, completed basic training at Fort Jaek son, S. C., and arrived over Mas last April. The 24-year-old soldier is a graduate of Warrenton High School. Ways and Ways A housewife was interview ing an applicant for a Job on -her household staff "Do yoq know bow to serve com pany?" she asked "Yes, ma'am; both ways," w?a die reply. "Just what do yon mean by 'both ways*?" "SCs they'll come back and so"s they wont" Be It "Yomr hwdisad has a new mH. hasn't be?" 'Tm quite hasn't" "WeD, something ?W>?ranc* is different. ~ "Oh ,nww I knaw what it M Didnt I tell yon I the field was cut up with hedgerows, fences, trees, stumps, and corners. Now Haithcock's tractors can go for 1500 feet on the same rows by simply picking the plows up at the waterways. This same operation is be ing done by many other Warren County farmers. Farmers interested in fix ing a field for tractor farm ing should keep the entire field open until the operation is completed. Since the win ter rains have set in it is a good idea to plan the operation for the summer months. At that time a farm er can be reasonably sure of getting heavy equipment to do the job at a time when th? land will not be damag ed. On most fields the land shaping will cost about $90 per acre. This will be re paid with the first crop of tobacco grown on the field. Santa To Visit Norlina Po? toff ice Santa Claus will make hi* annual visit to the Norlina Postoffice on Wednesday, December 19, from 3 p. m. to 3 p. m., Postmaster W. K. Delbridgt, announced Wed nesday. Delbridge said that last year Santa Claus talked with over 140 while at the post office. It is desirous, he said, that the pre-ccbool age child ren come early, in-as-much as the school children would be coming in about 3:45. Yellow Jackets Win First Games; To Play Double-Header At Enfield The Johu Graham Yellow Jackets, winner in their first game of the season last Fri day night when they took a double-header from Davie, journey to Enfield Friday night. The Enfield girls, a power house in the conference last year, barely defeated Norlina on Friday night of last week, and the Enfield boys were no match for the Norlina play ers. Playing without the serv ices of star of last year Billy Benson, who was in a Wins ton-Salem hospital, the locals showed potentials in their game with Davie. Benson tore a ligament in his knee in football play and is ex pected to be out for the re mainder of the year. Showing promise was Phil Quails, a senior, who trans ferred this year to John Graham from Aotelian The deer shown lunging from a pole wu killed near the Harry Limer place on November 23 and reported here with picture this week. The hunter* are Thurston Ayscue, Vance Neal, Lonnie E. Hall, D. E. Hudgins and Horace Twitty. Springs. Quails was high scorer for the locals and did a good defensive job on Buck Dickens, outstanding player of last season, who was held to 10 points. Blalock, Drake and Cole man each scored eight points and Rogers netted 4, which with Quails' 10 gave the Jackets a 38-27 victory over | the Davie boys. Knox Polk led the Yellow Jacket girls to a 24 to 22 victory with 15 points. Weav er netted 4, Jones and Fuller 2 each, and Mustian 1. Following tonight's game the Yellow Jackets will play their next game here on next Thursday night, Dec. 20, with Littleton.
