Newport 4-H Club Boosts Top
Team in Allen, Earl Kelly
The 14-yea/-?ld Kelly twins, Al
len and Earl, are bard to beat
when It cornea to team projects
In 4-H Club work. The twins have
been members of the Newport 4-H
Club snice 1954 and during the
year* have shared projects in poul
try, tobacco, corn and feeder
calves.
Last year they were county co
champions in tobacco. On .72 acre
of tobacco, each boy cleared S12t
last year. They won the champion
ship with their project book,
though, not with the amount of
profit they reported.
This year Allen snd Earl planted
5.S acres of tobacco and had a
very good year. Allen predicts that
they will get a better price for
their tobacco this year, as well as
having a larger yield per acre.
The twins had a poultry project
which lasted for their first two
years in 4-H. Last year they had
tobacco as their project and this
year they branched out.
They have tobacco, corn and
feeder calves. Allen has a one-man
project, tractor care. A sample
picking of their three-acre stand
of corn indicates that the boys
will harvest 70.2 bushels per acre.
In addition to Ihcir regular pro
jects, the twins have entered the
demonstration field of 4-H work.
Last year their team demonstra
tion on fertilization of tobacco won
a blue ribbon at district elimina
tion day at Washington.
At the county fair the boys en
tered some of their corn and won
a red ribbon to add to their grow
ing collection of prizes. This rib
bon was taken in a contest en
tered by farmers with many years
experience growing corn.
Earl and Allen have attended
two 4-H camps, the camp at Man
teo in 1955 and the camp at Swan
nanoa in 1956. Their parents, Mr.
and Mrs. James S. Kelly, say 4-H
camp is a fine way for boys to
have fun and learn to get along
with other farm children from all
over the country.
The most recent and favorite
project of the two boys is a feeder
calf project. Each boy has a Here
ford steer which was bought at the
Goldsboro feeder calf sale last
month.
The boys went to Rocky Mount
but found they were unable to pay
the prices brought by the calves
on that day. The next day Mr. Kel
ly, farm agent R. M. Williams and
Earl Kelly, right, and his twin brother Allen show%some of this
year's tobacco crop. Last year they were county 4-H tobacco project
champions. They feel that they did even better this year.
4-H advisor Harry Venters went
to Goldsboro and bought the
calves.
Mr. Venters said, "It was too
bad the boys didn't get to pick
their own calves but they did get
to spend one day at an auction
and see how an auction is conduct
ed. They couldn't get out of school
two days in a row."
These steers, each weighing over
500 pounds, will become choice
"western beef." Strangely enough,
it isn't where a steer is from but
what he eats that determines whe
ther or not he is a westerner or
a down easter.
Allen and Earl plan to take their
corn crop to the mill to have it
custom mixed. The necessary sup
plements will be added to the corn
to make it a well-rounded feed.
When the calves are sold at the
New Bern show and sale next
April, they will show the care with
which they have been fed and han
dled. They will be well-fleshed
with firm fat that will turn pure
white when the animals are slaugh
tered and dressed.
Grass-fed animals have dark,
flabby fat that lowers the value
of their meat in the stores and
lowers the price the feeder re
ceives at the auction. Allen and
Earl declare that their steers will
be among the finest at the show
and auction come April. ^
If past performances are any Jji*
dication, those steers will be right
at the top in the show and bring
top prices to their youthful owners.
Firemen Give
Much, Want
Pensions Upheld
From Morehead City
Fire Department
Volunteer and paid firemen oc
cupy heroes' places in the minds
of little boys antl warm spots in
the hearts of thousands whose lives
and property have been saved by
their prompt and courageous dedi
cation and devotion to the dan
gerous task of fighting fires. The
constancy of their service is taken
for granted.
Few people stop to realize a
large portion of the fire service
rendered in North Carolina costs
the people not one cent in in
creased taxes. Almost all of the
tremendous expansion in rural ser
vice has been subscribed by out
of-pocket contributions by the pub
lic.
The all day, every day service
is given without charge by the
butcher, baker, and other public
spirited citizens who take the in
juries, exposures to dangers, and
the loss of time and comforts, as
well as the intrusion into their
homes and private lives, without
complaint or charge.
The firemen of North Carolina
asked the state to create a pension
fund that would, to some degree,
recognize thirty years of this un
selfish service. The act was passed
in 1957. It was promptly made the
subject of suits brought by the fire
insurance companies to test its
constitutionality.
The companies claim that they
are not opposing the firemen, they
merely believe the law to be dis
criminatory and unfair. During the
many montha of skirmishing, op
portunities to work out the admin
istrative difficulties presented
themselves but the suits were
pushed through the courts with
haste by the plaintiffs.
It seemed that they desired the
death of the infant rather than its
growth to any size even in a cor
rected form. Now, the youth is
before the supreme court swing
ing a sizable fist and if he should
lose this round, he will appear be
fore his makers, the General As
sembly, in 1859, where he will
have many friends.
W. C. Handy, composer of "The
St. Louis Blues" and other musical
clasaics, was a very religious man.
He was a member of the Methodist
Epiacopal Church aad wrote many
spirituals.

Leaf Growers
To Vote Dec. 15
On Assessment
Rileigh? Some 250,000 flue-cured
tobacco farmers in North and
South Carolina will be given an
opportunity Dec. 15 to vote in a
referendum on continuance for
another three years (1K?40-<1) the
10-cent per acre assessment to pro
mote export markets for their pro
duct.
The referendum date was an
nounced this week by A. C. Ed
wards, chairman of Tobacco Asso
ciates Board of Directors.
In its 11-year history Tobacco
Associates, a non-government, non

all flue-cured interests from the
producer to the consumer, has tak
en the promotion of overseas out
lets for the flue-cured crop as its
primary goal.
In the December referendum,
however, growers will be given an
opportunity to vote on whether
they desire to increase the assess
ment for the purpose of expanding
export promotion activities and
