Farmers Honor
Rol! Posted
Placards listing: honor roll
n?7u.s of ' ? * y
mers who have done a gOon j<J!>
in following: Experiment Station
and Extension Service recommen
dations in establishing permanent
pastures throughout the county
may be observed in the following
departments: Vocational Agricul
ture Department, Newport; Soil
Conservation Service; P.M. A. Of
fice and the County Farm Agents
office.
Each of the above metioned
departments played an important
part in encouraging and assisting
the farmers of the county in pro->
viding their livestock with these ,
pastures, stated R. M. Williams,
County Farm Agent.
The Extension Service and Vo
cational Department in the New-J
port community furnished farmers
with the educational information ;
? on latest approved practices from j
State College and the Experiment
Station on establishing pastures. j
The .Soil Conservation Service as
sisted many of the farmers ill
the actual seeding of the pastures
while the PMA office assisted in
providing from 50% to 80% of
the cost of seeding.
Most of these pastures where
soil type and conditions would per
mit were seeded to Ladino clover
and Kentucky 31 fescue. Other
pastures whose owners wanted a
more complete grazing mixture
and a little more sure continuous
grazing program added Lespedeza
and Dallas grass to their mixture. |
Our goal jn Carteret County |
this fall is to encourage every j
farmer who owns livestock to es
tablish one or more acres to per
nffenent pasture.
The seeding of permanent pas
tures 'should never be- confused
with the idea that they will always
take care of all the livestock needs
daring all seasons under varying
weather conditions. Temporary 1
and supplementary grazing crops
are always important to a com
plete and well rounded livestock
feed program.
The following farmers in the
county we feel are worthy of
naming on the pasture honor roll
list: Ball Brothers, Joel Davis,
Ncal Campen, Primrose Gooding,
D. S. Oglesby, J. T. Oglesby, Jack
Fell, Farrior Brothers, Bernice
Mann, Harold Simmons, Lawrence

There has been a considerable
increase in the number of Old
Age Assistance applications dur- j
ing the past several months in
Carteret county and North Caro
lina, according to Tom McGinnis,
superintendent of the local wel- 1
I fare department. The total appli- '
I cations from January 1 to July 30, |
. 1949 number 185. This figure, i
when compared with the 352 per- !
sons ftow receiving Old Age As j
sistance, shows the tremendous
increase.
To meet these demands the
State had had to make certain
changes in determining need of ,
persons applying and of those al- j
ready receiving. The new chqn
I ges tend to limit assistance pav
I ments to . only those in need of
; help in meeting just the basis sub
i sistancc requirements. These ba
| sic items include, food, clothing,
rent, and some household expen
erplain that many people who ap
ses. ?
The superintendent went on to
ply for Old-Age Assistance think
that it is a pension to which they i
| are entitled when they reach 65
years ot age. ^his thinking is fal- j
| sc and should Jbe clarified.
i It is not a pension but an as
I sistance to help persons who do
: not have sufficient income or con
tributions to buy themselves the
basic items mentioned above.
They are, for the most part, per
sons who have nothing in the way
of earned income, property, pen
sions, farm produce, or aid from I
other agencies.

lions,, of the use of the fathome- j
ter under actual fishing condi

street, Beaufort yesterday morn- ;
ing.
Beaufort firemen received a j
call slightly before 10 a. m. and i
arrived to find the rear of the
house engulfed in flames and
smoke. Apparently the fire had
begun in a rear room of the small
u n pa in ted house and gained con- !
sidcrably headway bctore it was
reported.
The back of the house, one side,
and a rear wing were badly dam
aged as a result of smoke, flames
and water. The asphalt roofing
on the rear wing fed the flames
to an even greater intensity than
did the rest of the hou*e.
The burned building belonged
to Mrs. Alice Roberts, and had
been unoccupied for almost two
years since she vacated it. It
was not insured.

State Polio Rate
Is Below Average
Raleigh Reports of the in- 4
creased incidence of polio in the
United States, particularly in Tex- j
as, California and Arkansas, are
coming in but North Carolina is
well below the average for the ?
country as a whole, it was pointed "<
out today by Dr. J. W. R. Norton, /
State Health Officer. Dr. Norton j
cited the fact that, through July {
of this year, only 100 cases of i
polio had been reported to the ?)
North Carolina State Board of
Health, as compared with 1,098
for the same period last year, J
when the largest epidemic of our i
history occurred.
Dr. Norton also stated that only
42 cases were reported for the
single month of July this year, j
against 783 in July. 1948.
"It is to be regretted, of cour- j
sc," Dr. Norton went on, "that j
polio is prevalent in epidemic j
form in any part of the country.
However, we have taken punish- ?
ment in this respect, in both 1M4 -!
and 1948, and if our incidence 'i
this year is low. we can be grate- g
ful without reflection on any part
Df the country Of course, we do
not know what the future holds la '
store There might be a flare up
later on in the year, but just now ;
none is indicated and I think we
should be very grateful that oup
summer habits are not being in- "4
terrupted this year by the preval
ence of any acourage or epide
mic." '
