Page 10-A Carolina Review: Hunt Hays Peacemaker HELP...Eyebrows arched in Raleigh a few weeks ago when Gov. Jim Hunt agreed to appear at an upcoming fundraiser for defeated Congressional condidate Mickey Michaux. The fundraiser is planned to help retire a heavy campaign debt Michaux acquired in trying to become the state’s first black Congressman since Reconstruction. The eyebrows arched because Michaux has steadfastly refused to en dorse his Democratic op ponent, Tim Valentine, after Valentine’s victory over him in a primary run - off. Michaux had been the frontrunner in the first primary. Some observers felt the governor shouldn’t help Michaux with the fundraiser if Michaux wasn’t planning to endorse Valentine. Ad ministration sources hinted that Hunt was trying to get the two together. One source said Hunt had f ALL SILVER REPLATING I REDUCED 25% No charge for straightening* .

NORTH CAROLINA 27932 even called Michaux to ask for a Valentine en dousement. Instead, Michaux has at times hinted strongly of a write • in campaign on his behalf - perhaps a sure - fire means of electing Republican Jack Marin to the seat. Whether he ever had plans for a write - in campaign or not is open to speculation, but Michaux announced this past weekend that he was definitely planning to run for the 2nd Congressional seat again in 1984. At a meeting of black officials in Raleigh, Michaux criticized the Democratic party and suggested they had taken blacks for granted. But Michaux did agree to support “all the Democrats in the 2nd Congressional District” in November. Michaux later em phasized that his statements should not be construed as an endorsement of Valen tine. “I don’t intend for whoever gets there in 1982 to be there after 1984,” Michaux reportedly said. A lawyer, as is Valentine, Michaux said the Democratic nominee’s “single qualification” was that he “was a Democrat.” However, a meeting is scheduled this week bet ween Valentine and Michaux - the first one since the primary. Pundits suggested Michaux might discover some other qualifications in that meeting. As for the governor’s work on Michaux’s behalf, most observers feel he should be stumping for Valentine. A study of Valenline’s financial contributors during the primary com paign reportedly showed close to 50 per cent were also givers to the Jesse Helms’ campaign organization, the National Congressional Club, at one time or another. Since Helms has twice THE CHOWAN HERALD been elected by con servative Democrats, especially in the east, that’s where the inroads will have to be made for Hunt to beat Helms in 1984. Meanwhile, Hunt spokesman Brent Hackney says the governor is still trying to bring Michaux and Valentine together. Computers For Farms U.S. agriculture has experienced many technological revolutions including mechanization, crop hybridization, fer tilizer, pesticides, and plant and animal health products. The next breakthrough looming on the horizon may well be the use of micro - computers. Farmers should be able to utilize this tool in many ways to improve management of their far ming enterprises. The electronic technology which has made small computers possible is the “chip,” a silicon wafer one - half square centimeter in size, on which is printed the circuitry previously con tained in a large cabinet. Today’s micro - computers have the capacity of com puters which filled a medium - size room just ten years ago. However, because the micro - computer is so new and tremendous im provements are being realized on almost a mon thly basis, there are some difficult decisions to make. For example, should you invest in equipment (hard ware) today, knowing that a year from now it will be significantly less capable than a brand - new one? Utilizing a micro - com puter requires that com puter programs be available to provide the useable in formation that you pur chased it to provide. Several agricultural and com mercial firms have developed and are developing micro - com puter programs that permit a farmer to make management decisions in a much more efficient and flexible manner. The joint efforts of universities and others will also be beneficial to far mers, as it will create a reduction in the amount of time spent putting in formation in the on - farm computer. Just as past technological improvements in agriculture have resulted in greater productivity and improved efficiency, micro - computers should benefit many farmers in the future.
