Continued From Page 1 ference,” was the observation of the writer. Sho’ do' Burning Out We hope by the time this reaches print that State Rep. John B. Gilliam, 111, of neighboring Bertie, is fully recovered from whatever he had a couple of weeks ago which resulted in his hospitalization. We further hope this is not a sign that the 35-year old Democratic politician is burning out. Rep. Gilliam was detoured to Roanoke-Chowan Hospital in Ahoskie after an afternoon meeting with Hertford County locally elected officials and a meeting that evening of the Ahoskie Chamber of Commerce. If “a series of tests” didn’t con tribute to the problem rather than a solution the possible rest cer tainly didn’t do any harm. : Rep. Gilliam put together a smooth machine in the Fifth .House District nearly two years •ago and his first political en counter was a resounding success. The secret weapon was people. He community leaders in every precinct and they got out the Vote. But more importantly, he jdidn’t forget the folks back home, meeting every weekend with this br that group. : As a member of the House of Representatives he didn’t let man made lines (like county or municipal subdivisions) get in his way. He looked at the big picture. As a freshman legislature he wasn’t afraid to sound off. He strongly supported additional funding for studying water quality in Albemarle Sound Basin; he strongly supported increased focus on the importance of agriculture in Tar Heelia. As an elected official who was sent to Raleigh by the masses rather than the classes he remained closer to his con stituents. With this background he fought unsuccessfully to keep the Fifth House District basieally as it was prior to redistricting. Rep. Gilliam, like Rep. Charles Evans of the State of Dare, is a good example of the type dedicated public servants who take their oath seriously. The Gilliam-Evans type is too im patient to be satisfied with a secondary role while gaining experience, and or conditioning. The danger in this is the possibility of burning out too soon. As we said, hopefully this is not the case with John Gilliam. - Toll Free Line Continued From Page t of Marine Fisheries headquarters in Morehead City. Dispatchers have radio contact with law of ficers in all coastal counties. The message will be immediately relayed. As with all law enforcement work, concerned citizens are vital in reporting crime. With some 2.2- million acres of estuarine waters in North Carolina, marine law officers are spread thin. Connell Punas, director, N. C. Division of Marine Fisheries said, “I am excited about our new capability. It will improve our response time and effectiveness in law enforcement.” The business man who tells you he is looking out for your interests only is usually taking you for a sticker. | The Chowan Herald (USPS 106-380) P.O.

Farm Production Good In 1981 Preliminary figures indicate that 1981 has been a good farming year in North Carolina from a production standpoint, par ticularly compared to 1980. Although the year had its damaging dry period, flue-cured tobacco growers harvested 733- million pounds, down only 2 per cent from the year before despite 5 per cent fewer acres. The average yield is estimated at 2,090 pounds per acre, an in crease of 77 pounds from last year. Unlike the situation with some of the other commodities, the market for flue-cured tobacco was generally strong and is expected to push total income from the crop to over sl-billion. Burley tobacco production was up 39 per cent, and much of this contrast is due to the very light crop grown in 1980. Production is expected to be around 23.5 -million pounds with a yield of 2,400 pounds per acre. Maryland type air-cured tobacco was grown on many flue cured farms this year. Acreage jumped from 900 to 9,800 acres and resulted in a crop of around 12.7 Members Continued From Page 1 to improve continuity of operations, he has named Byrum as chairman of the Operation Commitee.

Soybean production in North Carolina is expected to be a record when this last-to-be-harvested crop is in the bin. The N. C. Farm Report indicates an increase of 33 per cent over 1980 at over 46- million bushels. The yield is tentatively pegged at 25 bushels per acre, one bushel below the 1969 record. North Carolina farmers har vested about 133.6-million bushels of corn this year, a 29 per cent increase over 1980. The average yield is expected to be 73 bushels per acre, or 13 bushels per acre, or 13 bushels more than the previous crop. Peanuts, which were dealt the most damaging blow by late season dry weather in 1980, came through the recent season in fine style. Production is up 58 per cent. Tar Heel farmers have harvested 456-million pounds. Yield per acre may approach 2,700 pounds, which would be almost ,1(000 pounds more than in 1980. Sweet potato production was up about 7 per cent with the nation’s leading yam state harvesting 456 million pounds from 38,000 acres. The average yield is expected to be up about 500 pounds per acre over last year at 120 hun dredweight per acre. Cotton made a comeback in ’Bl with a crop of 80,000 acres which was expected to produce 80,000 bales of 480 pounds per bale. This would be an increase of 54 per cent in number of bales produced, an acreage increase of 23 per cent and an increase in yield of 99 pounds per acre. Apple production in the state was down about 8 per cent to 375- million pounds. , NUNNBUSIL :*w /©CLASSIC CASE OF QUALITY.

Bertie and Hertford are other counties involved. Capt. Howard said the workshop is bring arranged as part of the SIOO,OOO study funded by the N. C. General Assembly.
