Penney ' Too many farmers, are still burn ing their fields off in the spring of the year, , M. L. Lanier of Chinquapin says "They Just jdon't realize how much damage' this practise costs' in dol lars and cents"; He. continued by pointing out how much- water the lUoorns-Ucs-would soak: up.i-w- for . the dry weather next summer and how the decayed' plant mater ial would keep the land open and mellow instead of being tight and cloddy as it is so often when the stalks and grass are burned. A large part of the fertilizer that was used on the land last year is still tied up in the stalk and grass on your fields today and when they are burned most of these element go up in smoke. ; V The late Mr. Hamp Grady made a statement .several months before he died that will bear repeating. He said "Out soil is like our bank account,: if we try to take out all the time and never put anything back then pretty soon we will find that we don't have much left."

When he left Beu laville, he was a stranger no long er, but had endeared himself to everyone in the town and . sur round community.

He then served in World War II and the Korean War. After coming to Beulaville, he took an active part in the commun ity.

Par ker, county supervisor for the Far mers Home Arministration announ ced today. Parker said that a $35, 009,000 contingency fund provided by the 1961 Agricultural Appropria tions Act has just been released to the Fanners Home Administration to meet the growning demand for credit. This move was taken by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Par ker, said, in an effort to make cer tain, within the authorities and funds available, that no qualified family-type fanner will be requir ed to give up farming because of his inability to finance his 1961 operations. . m Because of high operating costs and unfavorable margins of pro fits many farmers have exhausted their regular sources of farm oper ating credit, The amount of opera ting loans made so far this year by the Farmers Home Administration totals 20 per cent higher than last year. The credit Agency's biggest lending season lies just ahead as farmers' prepare to start their spring work. " '.v - s Most Of the operating loan appli cations so far this year - are for loans to buy new. tractors and, other new farm equipment Applications have also been received for live stock purchases. .

Frank Denny, James Fields, Amos Quinn and Tony Williams spent the week end in the pit and on top of the press, putting it together, and I think they are looking forward to another week end of the same. Of course, on one day we had more working, as it took about six or eight men to movie those heavy pie ces of equipment. But it is begin ning to look like a press, and we can hardly wait to see it in opera tion! Visited the James Kenan Agri culture Shop department this after noon, and had a nice chat with Mr. Clarence Warren and Mr. Jimmy Sauls, Jr., instructors in the de partment. They showed me the fur niture that the boys had been making-such as desks, gun racks, cof fee tables, cabinets, etc. It was beautiful work. Warren said that many of the boys had already tak en their finished articles home. Some of the pieces of furniture were waiting for their last coat of paint. Warren and Sauls said that the shop phase of work for this year was about over and they would now begin, in FFA Work and Agricul ture. It was a most interesting tour and -an ?ye opener to see-just what the department is doing. Also visited the Warsaw Metho dist Church to see Ted Wilson about a story. The women of the -church were just as busy as could be get ting ready for the big Sunday, Feb ruary 26, when they dedicate many memorials and gifts at a special service. The beautiful Chapel was being cleaned by the ladies and all necessary preparations being made for the new gifts. Incidentally, I believe some of the ladies had got ten hold of Ted's desk, and he was having a hard time finding things. I noticed he was guarding the was te basket and I don't believe he in tended letting it get out of the of fice before he examined its con tents. Mr. Gait Braxton, Editor of the Kinston Free Press, was given a big surprise birthday supper to (Mntlaned an tuck) and labor resources on family-type farms and make needed changes in their farming systems. Most of the changes call for adopting bet ter farming practices and improv ing the efficiency of their farming operations. Loans may also be made to qualified farmers who carry on smaller than family-type operations. Operating loans help farmers pay for equipment, livestock, feed, seed fertilizer, tractor fuel and other farm and home operating needs in cluding the refinancing of chattel debts. Loans are scheduled for re payment in accordance with the borrower's ability to repay, over periods up to seven years. The in terest rate is five percent. Further information on these loans may be obtained from the county offices of the Farmers Home Administration located at Kenans ville in the agriculture building.
