GARDENING
and FARMING
IN DARE
BY J. L. REA. Co. Agt.

The conservation of soil has
been discussed and demonstrated
in our monthly All meetings
throughout Dare County. Many of
us, including our younger boys
and girls, do not realize the i'm
portance of conserving the soil. 1t
was pointed out in the club meet
ings that the prosperity of all
countries is related to the produc-
tivity of the land. History verifies
this fact, for the Roman. Empire
and the other famous Empires
were dominantly strong as long
as their lands were fertile and
productive. When their soils be-
came eroded and unproductive it
eventually meant the downfall of
their great Empires.
In discussing the conservation
of soil, many youngsters do not
realize that approximately %
thousands gallons of water fall
on each acre of land during a l.
inch rainfall. North Carolina av-
erages between 45 and SO inches
of rain each year. Each drop of
rain hits the soil with lot of
force, this means, unless the land
is covered with some sort of
mulch, sod, or cover crop that
forces of erosion take place.
Thousands and thousands of
tons of rich top-soil wash into
our sounds each month. This soil
comes from counties of the Coastal
Plains and Piedmont sections of
our state. This can be verified by
the fact that our sounds take con-
slant dredging in order to keep
boating channels open.
The Dare County All Achieve
ment Day will be. held Saturday
morning, January II. Alters
throughout the county will gather
at the Manteo High School audi
torium. The purpose of the All
Achievement Day is to recognize
county winners. An interesting
program is planned and parents,
as well as Alters, are invited.
Royden Tillett, of Wanchese, says
he has always been interested in
seeing how fast. he could get ami
mails to grow. Tillett just keeps
enough chickens to supply his own
needs. He bought Is meat type
broiler chicks. These chickens av-
erage weight was 1874 pounds at
the age of A weeks. Tillett has
kept an accurate record of the
amount of feed and he says his

is the largest bell ever tuned.
Much sentiment and superstition
is attached to great bells. London's
famous bells were silenced at the
onset of World War II, to ring
again solely in the event of inva-
sion or victory. 1t is said that only
one other wartime measure, the
evacuation of children from Lon
don, had a darker effect on British
morale.

BELLMAKlNG IS BRISK
BUSINESS SINCE END
OF WORLD WAR

WASHINGTON-The making of
bells, whose tintintabulations her
aid such joyous occasions as
Christmas and New Year, is one of
the most enduring and exacting of
crafts.
Curiously, however, there are
now probably less than 20 found
ries engaged in casting the huge
bronze bells that peal in towers
throughout the world, One belongs
to a Troy, New York, family that
has been manufacturing bells since
Revolutionary days. A similar
family concern in Sim, West Ger
many, has turned out bells for $50
years. A London foundry, estab-
lished in 1870, may well be the old
est manufacturing firm in England,
the National Geographic Society
says.
The demand for bells is always
brisk. 1t has been especially so
since World War II when thou
sands of bells were melted down
for metal or shattered by bombs.
Italy Restores Bells
In the steepled City of London
only three churches remained
where bells could be rung. Nazis
melted down an estimated 100000
German bells, only a fraction of
which have been replaced. Italy
did not complete the restoration of
more than 1000 church bells lost
or damaged in the war until 1857.
The origin of bells is lost in an
tiquity. But the business of making
them hasn't changed materially
since the Chinese Emperor Hoang-
ii ordered a set in 2697 B. C. to
serve as an official standard of
pitch.
A foundryman of generations
ago would find a present-day
plant not at all strange except,
perhaps, for the jingle of telephone
bells. Seventeenth-century engrav-
ings show furnaces exactly like
those of today.
To make a bell, the foundryman
builds up a "core" of brickwork
and fine clay bound with hair to
shape the vessel. The mold's outer
portion is similarly sculptured in
side an iron casting. Both tasks are
arduous. When the two molds are
finally prepared and clamped to-
gether, metal is poured into the
hollow between them. In old days
casting called for solemn ceremo-
ny, and mobiles gathered to toss in
Offerings of gold and silver.
On that account, many an old
bell is reputed to ring more sweet
ly, but the truth of the matter is
that bell owes it's sonorous voice
to it's time-honored content of
about four parts copper and one
part tin.
Big bells are always made to
order. Each presents a particular
problem as to weight, size, and
tones desired. The finished product
must be perfect to be used, for
there is no way to mend a cracked
bell.
Mammoth Bell in Moscow
The worlds largest bell has
never pealed. The 193-ton "Tsar
KolokoP' was cast in Moscow in
1888 and allowed to cool off in its
earth-covered molds for 103 years.
Unfortunately the Kolokol lost an
11-ton bit of its lip before being
hung. The broken colossus stands
in the Kremlin.
A second Moscow bell, 1913 tons,
is the greatest in actual use. Other

asked them to give some thought
to this question and then write
down their conclusions: "If you
could choose one age and remain
that age forever, would you do it,"
The resultant compositions were in
teresting.
The majority concluded that re-
naming one age forever wouldn't
be a good idea, as life without new
experiences would become dread
full bore. One commented that it
would be sad state of affairs if
all his generation should choose
never to become adults. what
would happen" he asked" when all
cur dear old teachers pass M"
He was disappointed when I let
that one pass without comment.
There were a few, however, who
chose an ideal age for eternity, the
most popular one being twenty
one. At twenty-one, they said, one
is free to do so as he pleases. He
can come and go with no questions
asked and is answerable to no one.
Those few were given a new as
signment: to look about them and
find one adult-just one-who can
do exactly as he pleases and let me
know who it is so that | can make
the acquaintance of such a rare in
dividual. 1t is a waste of time, of
course, to try to convince any
young person that complete free
dom, if such thing were possible,
would mean a life of utter mega
ton, of complete Reputation of his
fellow man.
Teenagers are skeptical when
enc of the "dear old teachers" or
any other poor old creature over
twenty-one states that he wouldn't
like to be a teenager again. So
many of my pupils complain of be-
ing bored during vacation when
there "is nothing to do in this old
town" that it doesn't seem such an
enviable state. Even my nephew,
not-quite-twelve, found the two
week vacation from his Durham
school not to be a time of unal-
Logged joy. Poor boy, he had moth
ing to do. He has a record player,
a radio, a bicycle, innumerable
games, a bookcase full of books,
and television set. He had at
tended two dances in the week

ing confirmation classes for two
hours every other day at the
church. After l bribed him with a

heart bled for the child.
Some day, when possibly his
son is Fostering him for the use of
the family plane, he will look back
ON these days when he had nothing
to do and give nostalgia sigh for
the good old days. He might even
get bold enough to suggest to his
son that he study a little or do
some work around the house, and
he will probably say, "Why when
l was boy, l had to ride my BIZ
cycle two whole blocks to school"
Then, if he hears ghostly laughter

that somewhere his aunt is saying,
