PAGE -I - WEST CRAVEN HIGHLIGHTS - AUGUST 25, 1988 Along The Pathway Along the pathway of life it is amazing to watch as many people get in such a rush that they fail to watch the traffic lights as they change. Many times we see someone go through a red light, or get so carried away with daily cares that they sit through a green light. The traffic lights are not the only thing they need to watch and often fail to watch. We, the people, are living too fast. We need to slow down and smell the roses while going this way. We need to slow down and do some serious thinking. It is time to think about where we will spend eternity. It is time to do something about it. Today is the day of salvation. Tomorrow may be too late. “Watch and be sober,” says 1 st Thessolonians 5-6. If we fail to watch and pray, we will find we are not ready to meet the Lord if he comes or calls. Walrh The green light does say go. The caution light says go slow. Watch, there may be danger. It matters not, friend or stranger. The red light means stop. No run, skip, jump or hop. The lights of the world look bright. Watch it, the worldly ways are not right. Watch, the world’s lights will soon go out. Will you meet Jesus with a scream or a shout? He is coming for you and me. Watch, and you will see. Will you be ready to mee Him? The world’s lights grow dim. Heaven’s lights are always bright. Shining to lead us right. Where there will be joy forever. There will be no parting, never. Noticeboard URIVRRS NRRDKD Drivers are needed to transport people for the Council on Aging from Vanceboro to doctors appointments. Mileage will be paid.

Department of Agricul ture, m^or crops in the state are doing better than they did last year and higher yields are ex pected. A forecast from the NCDA’s Agricultural Statistics Division indicates that state farmers — at least in the main crop-producing areas — have largely avoided the effects of a drought that has rav aged fields in the Midwest. The drought’s effects have been felt mainly in the western section of the state, where some Christmas tree farmers and lives tock producers have been hurt by short water supplies. Farmers in the east, meanwhile, have re ceived adequate rainfall. The report predicts that pro duction of tobacco, corn, soy beans, peanuts and cotton will all exceed last year’s levels. 237,000 acres of flue-cured tobacco are expected to be har vested in 1988, an increase of 9.2 percent over the 217,000 acres harvested in 1987. Yield per acre is also expected to climb Rom 2,085 pounds to 2,182 pounds, while total production is slated to climb to 517.2 million pounds from last year’s total of 452.5 mil lion pounds. North Carolina farmers will produce two-thirds of the tobac co grown in the United States in 1988. Burley tobacco production is also expected to increase, with the acreage harvested climbing to 8,500 acres and the total yield climbing from 14.1 million pounds to 14.9 million. The report says that the amount of com land harvested is expected to decline, from 1.15 million acres in 1987 to 930,000 acres in 1988. Despite the acreage decline, the total harvest is ex pected to grow from 69 million bushels to 79.1 million bushels. A significant increase in the ex pected yield per acre, from 60 bushels per acre to 65, is re sponsible for the increase in the total harvest. Peanut acreage is expected to increase to 153,000 acres to 148,000 acres and the harvest is expected to grow to 474.3 million pounds in 1988 from 392.2 mil lion pounds in 1987. The soybean harvest is also ex pected to grow from a total yield of 32.8 million bushels in 1987 to 36.9 million bushels in 1988. The increase comes largely from an expected increase in the amount of land harvested. 1.42 million acres are expeetd to be harvested in 1988, up from 1.34 million acres in 1987.
