Farms Gel Smaller North Carolina's small farma art getting smalhr, while the Mf ones art getting bigger Take Wayne County. The latest Agricultural Census shows that the number et (arms with lass than 20 acres of cropland dioppad from Ml la ltM to ?? In 1969. Farms with more than 20 and leas than SO acres declined in number from 1.201 in 1W4 to 733 in 1IH In the same time, the number of farms with SO to M seres of cropMd roaa from 490 to fit; with 100 to 149 acres, from 07 to 121; with 200 to 499 acres, from 0 to It. "It's easj m understand why the large terms are getting larger," says Wayne County Agent Mark Go forth. "Most farmers hare an active desire to own more land. If they're making a good profit they'll always he in the market for additional land." But why are the smaller farms getting smaller, wonders Goforth "It may be that the small farm era art aelling all or part of their land to catch up dobta," he sug Casta. "And they may be selling their land and working ' off the farm." Goforth hopes that the farmer; are combining their land with thai of neighbors, for aa operation of more economical size. "One farmer can add 20 per cent more land without Increasing his cost 20 per cent," he says. In IMS, Wayne County had 4, 915 farm unite. There were 4,388 in 1904. And In 1989, there wen only Mir "In general, the more aggreasive farmers continued to farm," says Goforth. "They're working hardtr and better to improve yields per acre and profit per acre." Goforth aays more and more farmers sre telling agricultural workers: "Someone else has been tending this land and not making very good crops. How can I in crease the yields? I cannot work unless I make a profit."

Without it's con tinuouf performance the human body can not remain alive. It ha* been calculated that the heart pump* more than four quart* of blood to the body a minute, a large quantity considering that thi* hu man pump ia no larger than a man'? fiat? alao, it has been cal cinated that the heart baots he tween two to three billion times in aa average lite time, this beating going on day and night aa tone ** the body remains alive. If you look at a picture of the hupian heart you will notice that it U shaped somewhat like a cane, tilted to one side with the point downward. The heart, situated witk'a the cheat above the dia phragm and between the lungs, is a hollow muscular organ. Looking at the inaide of the heart H Is divided into two parts, namely the left heart and the right heart. The left heart is then divided into two chambers, the top chamber is called the left auricle; the bot tom is called the left ventricle. The right heart is divided in like man Cranberry Crunch Pie Popular Treat Cranberry - sparked meals are family aellouts every time, especi ally when cranberry crunch pie is served at the end of the meal. The U. S. Department of Agri culture says cranberries and cran berry products are plentiful. USDA says cranberry crunch pie is an easily fashioned, delicious pie, which has a crust made of quick - cooking oats that teams flavorfully with cranberries. To prepare, put the contents of one can of whole cranberry sauce into a bowl. Break the sauce apart with a fork and stir in Vt teaspoon fresh lemon juice. Set the sauce aside. Then prepare th? crust. Mix to gether pound softened sweet butter with tt cup flour, 1 cup quick-cookiag uncooked oatmeal, and 1 cup light brown sugar. As soon aa the ingredients are well blended, divide the mixture into half and use half for the bottom crust. Spread the dough evenly over the bottom of a 9-inch oven proof glass plate. Next, cover evenly with cran berry sauce filling. The remaining dough is the topping. Since the dough will be slightly sticky and difficult to spread over the cran berry mixture, drop by spoonfuls aa evenly as possible over the sauoe. Bake 48 minutes in pre heated 329-degree oven. Serve warm as is, or with whipped cream. Get Pepsi by the Case! Be Sociable, Have a Pepsi ner, the upper chamber called the right auricle; the bottom depart ment ia called the right ventricle. Since the heart i* built o f muacle and all work done by muacle ia by contracting and then by relaxing and repeating this process over aad over again, you caa aee how the pumping action of the heart ia carried out. It la important to keep in mind that not all heart muacle tightens at the same time, the tightening proem spreading from above downward, the various compartments of the heart at dif ferent times, making these coin part men la smaller aad this squeez ing forces the blood from the heart and throughout the body for tisaue nourishment.
