Nation's Conservationists Honored with New Stamp By M. H. OWENS - ' Soil ronsrrvition stamps went on sale at the local post office yes terday. They honor the natioo's farmers, agricultural leaders and soil conservation districts. What were some of the ac complishments of Carteret County farmers and the Lower Neuae Soil Conservation District last year? County super visors of the district assisted 17 farmers in developing com p 1 e t e conser vation farm plans. These plans included ' such practices Us grass-based rotations, plant ing bi-color les pedeza for bird food, building firelanes i n woodlands, in stalling tile M. 8. Owen. (trains and open ditch c _..itruction. ? Approximately 870 acres of crop lands were planted in a crop ro ji tation designed to conserve and improve the soil. There were about < 100 acres seeded in tall fescue for ] a tobacco rotation. Forty acres 1 were seeded in fescue for the first time last year. A fescue-tobacco rotation will improve the structure or condition of the soil as well as help control P nematodes. Seeded in permanent pasture were 150 acres taken out |f crop-land About 12 acres were put in coastal bermuda grass, a productive summer pasture crop. To help prevent and control for est fires, 2.000 feet of paths and firebreaks were built through and around woodland property. Twenty-five acres of marshland or cropland were improved or # planted in food for wildlife. Annual crops such as peas, beans and les pedeza as well as perennials such .as bi-color lespedeza were seeded *or planted for wildlife food and cover. Farmers installed 23,442 feet of tile drains, and constructed 16 miles of open ditches. About 800 acres were drained by the tile and ditches and two farm ponds were dug. Although much has been accom plished by the county farmers, there is stili much conservation i work to be .done. The county farmers can feel that they, as well as the rest of the nation's conservation farmers, are being honored by the issuance of the world's first conservation' stamp. These are fdlir-cent stamps of the commemorative series. Will you buy some of these stamps for your personal use, * showing your appreciation of the nation's farmers for their efforts to conserve the nation's soil? , N?v? fro* ^ NEWPORT 7X <y J Aug. 26 ?

Garner son so I n look ing forward to having all members present at your regular September club meetings. And as always, we invite anyone interested to attend the meeting of their choice. Schedules of weekly meetings may be checked in the News Times. The summer has been a very busy one for club members In ad dition to growing, conserving, mar keting and other regular summer activities, many of our folks have tieen attending special out-of-the county activities and programs. These out-of-county training pro grams, as they are incorporated into our county program, will help us to have a program in our coun ty that will be beneficial to all people. During the past week leaders from our county attended the four th annual crafts workshop in Man teo. The purpose of this workshop is to train leaders who will return to their counties and teach others. Mrs. E. G. McLawhorn and Mrs. John Ives, our county craft leaders, attended this workshop and have already begun making plans for a similar workshop for our county. Mrs. C. R. Wheatly taught a class in Italian hemstitching at our Manteo crafts school this year. This class was very popular, and were vggt|jiMRy to have one such " g00d jobTIi jjficfflng quality workman ship.

Herman Taylor, Pelletier Club; Mrs. A1 Hubbard and Mrs. Emmett Piper, Gloucester Club; Mrs. Joyce Shrake, Marlowe Club; Miss Nina Garner, Newport Club; and Mrs. Ben Jones, Russells Creek Club attended last week's workshop. Each took a different craft and we feel that we have a good group of trained leaders to help provide an opportunity for you to learn a craft of your choice. Jenny Lynn Garnet, one of ow 4-H Club members, taught a "quickie" craft. Mrs. Shrake took a class in mak ing feather hats. She has been ask ed to teach this for Onslow County in the near future and is making plans to de so (Onslow women did not attend the workshop due to polio). I would like to urge all our club women to see Mrs. Owen Dail's silhouettes of the ??? at the E4fe water Lodge. And, of course, Mr. and Mrs. Piper's sea shell collec tion. Mrs. Dail is a very interest ing person and I feel that each of you would greatly appreciate her enthusiasm and ability to creatcj such interesting stories from ma terials picked up from our beaches. And, if you'd like to know the name of any sea shell you find the chances are that Mrs. Piper can tell you. She and Mr. Piper have a most interesting collection on display. 1 feel sure you will be surprised to know that we have such a veriety about. One hundred and ten people have been through the cancer detection center since we started the appoint ments June 16. The schedule is full through Sept. 29. We can extend the time, so if you woukt like to go, it is not too late. Why not get a carload (five to the car) for a trip down in October? Nrv? from \ ATLANTIC I _ riA Aug. 26 ?
