CARD OF THANKS I want to thank each and everyone for the cards gifts, flowers and visits while I was a patient in Chowan Hospital and since my return home. Thanks to all file Doctors, especially Dr. HardM and morses who were so nice and kind. Thanks again for everything. Myrtle Norman since he joined the firm in 1965 and has seen his share of crises. “When the schedule gets tight, the pressure really moimts to maintain your schedule. Earlier this year, we were delayed about three weeks due to rain, but when the fields started to dry, fanners were pressing for fertilizer and chemical applications. “I think one of the im portant points to take into account in a situation like this is not to over-obligate yourself. Set a reasonable schedule and promise only what you can do. If you’re honest with your customers, they normally will un derstand your problems. “On the other hand, if you promise a grower an ap plication or delivery time, and then don’t show up when he’s ready, you’ll probably have an unhappy customer. You must follow through on your promises, or you’re in trouble,’’ he relates. Perry also points out that the quality of the employees who contact the growers— whether they be fieldmen, applicators or off per sonnel-can have a bearing on customer relations when the pressure starts to rise. Gaining and maintaining grower respect also can be the key to easing these difficult situations, Perry says. “We stress to our people that they must be professional when working with growers. They have to earn his respect, and this can be accomplished through technical abilities and human relations skills. “In our area, the trend is to fewer growers with more acres. In many cases, they’re younger farmers, returning to take over from dad, an uncle or a neighbor. Some have taken college courses and have two or four-year degrees. We’re' seeing a lot more of the two year grads. These younger farmers are willing to learn modern fanning techniques and are more willing to adSetr aferige. They kfa&w it’s important to their operations," Perry em phasizes. He reports that this movement is presenting more challenges to himself and his employees. Although the firm’s customers rely on than for advice, growers are ab sorbing considerable technical knowledge themselves through seminars and publications, Perry says. In addition to Perry, company field represen tatives Dan Ward (who manages the firm’s Edenton branch facility), Greg Berryman and Ronald Hobbs attend university pesticide meetings and seminars sponsored by the Gates and Chowan County extension services. Also, they confer on an informal basis with manufacturer sales representatives such as Ciba-Geigy’s Terry Rock. If Perry has to place one human relations skill on the top of the list, he selects the .ability to listen. “I think one of the best AUCTION SALE ANTIQUES-USD FUWiTURF Saturday, May 28,1977 -1(HX) AM.

Don’t try to call all foe shots, be open to suggestions from foe far mer. You must be careikl not to insult his skills. Like I said before, these people are becoming more and more knowledgeable and know what they want. And it’s op to us to provide the correct answers,” he says. Supply correct answers to growers on new products is also a vital function at C. A. Perry and Son. “We rely strongly on foe reputation and recom mendations of major chemical manufacturers that have performed a lot of research and testing on these products. We’ll try a new chemical on a few plots in cooperation with the county extension service or a chemical company. If foe product performs, we put out larger plots. “We’re always looking for a new product that does a good job in controlling problem weeds and insects. However, it should be easier to handle and easier to work with than the competition. But we still have to prove its worth to our growers. “As an example, we’ll be putting out two or three plots this year using Ciba- Geigy’s Dual corn herbicide with our more progressive farmers. When we have the results, we’ll communicate this information to our customers at grower meetings and through visits on the farm or in our office,” Perry explains. However, with com being an important crop in this northeastern comer of the state, Perry sticks with AAtrex which often is used in combination with Princep or another herbicide. Hampden-Sydney Graduates Hear Ross Millhiser HAMPDEN - SYDNEY, Va.—Speaking to 171 graduating seniors at foe concluding ceremonies for Hampden-Sydney College’s 201st session on May 15, Ross R. Millhiser, president of Philip Morris In corportated, stressed that "Humane learning, as liberal arts education is called, develops a sense of truth, morality and beauty.” Emphasizing that "societal problems and hopes are general in character” and ’” do not lend themselves to special approaches”, Millhiser urged the need for the in dividual who is able to “synthesize the many dif ferent disciplines.” Success and leadership demand not only the ability to think straight, but also the talent to articulate what you think in speech and writing,” he continued. Among the 171 graduates was Edmund Conger Leary, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph C. Leary, Jr., of Edenton. - „ * Hill y V ■ll - co»«»MWMmo«.4ii*mooo I Km ■■ 1 ' ’RSfir ° <8) hughes sivd.£hringhausst \ V I 111 11111 l IU ll QUEEN ST.
