GOVERNOR
STATEMENT BY GOVERNOR TERRY SAN FORD
The Watauga Democrat is known all the way to the Atlantic Ocean as
a sturdy champion of go forward government for a State on the Go. It has
been my pleasure to know Editor Rob Rivers since the campaign of U. S.
Senator W. Kerr Scott in 1954. I know him as a man who has helped pave
the way for new roads, new schools, new hospitals, new jobs, and new
opportunities for all the citizens of Watauga County and, indeed, for all
North Carolinians throughout the State.
I shall look forward to continuing reading the editorials and the news
stories of the Watauga Democrat as it works for Watauga County and for the
State of North Carolina.
With best wishes always
Sincerely,

1500 County Farmers
Apply For ACP Help
Watauga County now has
over 1900 fanners who have
made application for Federal
cost-share assistance under the
1963 Agricultural Conservation
Program, according to Vaughn
Tugman, chairman of the Wa
tauga ASC County Committee.
Approvals have amounted to
$69,900 to date this year. In
most cases the approval is only
about one-half the cost to the
farmer. When we consider this
we realise that well over $139,
000 has been spent on conser
vation of our soil in Watauga
County, not including any cost
of the labor or machinery the
farmers put into their conser
vation practices.
Highest expenditures have
been to improve and establish
meadow and pasture. Ranking
below these are liming of farm
land; open ditch and tile drain
age; tree planting and planting
of ' winter cover crops.
Over 300 farmers have al
ready seeded winter cover crops
this year. Funds are available
for approvals on rye for seed
ing as a winter cover crop.
Any fanner who has not yet
received cost share for his
farm this year should contact
the ASCS office immediately.
Participation in the ACP pro
gram is a recognition of the
farmer's responsibility to help
protect the county's soil and
water resources.
The 1911 farmers who have
already signed to carry out con
servation practices in the coun
ty are helping to build a strong
er agriculture through conser
vation to provide a better liv
ing for all the people of the
county, state and nation.

What benefits are offered by
the Red Croat Blood Program?
The largest program of it*
type in the world, it offers re
sources for the conduct of re
search projects which will have
practical implications for all as
pects of blood banking and ther
apy.
Also, all blood U collected
from volunteer donors, making
available the most disease-free
blood possible free as needed
anywhere in the United States.
Every American thereby has
? chance to participate in a
program which exemplifies the
principles for which the Red
Cross stands. Giving blood can
make you an integral part of
one of the most important life
saving programs carried out in
this country.
Everyone cannot go to Ko
rea to provide comfort to the
U. S. soldiers stationed there;
and not everyone is able to
contribute blood to the Red
Cross Blood mobile. But to do
the latter may mean that you
will save the life of some sol
dier, or of some loved one who
may have an automobile acci
dent and require a blood trans
