I “The Southeast has an abundant water supply which F for too long has been taken for I granted. We have just begun 1 to try to manage the water - available to us. We must learn 1 to drain it off as well as put it ; on.” > U.S. agricultural produc tivity that is, units of out put obtained per unit of input 1— increased at an annual rate of 2.7 per cent during 1950-65. 1 The rate of increase during ! 1965-79 was 1.7 per cent. 1 “Agriculture has done bet ■ ter than industry in increas ing its productivity since 1950, but the slow-down since 1965 • gives us reason to be concem ■ ed,” Legates said. • He said technology the I application of knowledge for • practical purposes must ! continue to be the major sac ! tor in boosting production es • ficiency on the farm. 1 “Investments in > agricultural research and development have yielded ! rich dividends,” he said. “The flow of benefits from new 1 technology moves rapidly 1 from producer to consumer. ” r The agriculture dean said that in the past 20 years, 1 peanut yields have doubled, per-cow milk yields have in -1 creased 50 per cent, and feed 1 efficiency in broilers has in creased by 18 per cent. Despite what has been ac • complished, he said, new scientific advances are essen tial to continue the trend of in creased agricultural productivity. Legates gave these ex amples of needed scientific advances: * Per-acre yields of soy beans must be increased. Soaring demand for this crop up to now has been met almost solely by increasing acreage. * The reproductive rates of beef and swine herds must be improved in order to boost the efficiency of the nation’s meat producers. * The genetic base of ma jor crops must be broadened, to reduce their vulnerability to disease. * There must be continued improvement of animals and crops on a variety of fronts, involving genetics, physiology, nutrition, disease and pest control. Reports For Duty February 24 (FHTNC)- Marine Sgt. Patrick A. Ward, son of Lossie M. Ward of Route 1, Box 102 AA, Edenton, N.C., has reported for duty at Marine Corps Base, Camp Butler, on Okinawa. Many geologists agree the continents are slowly moving at about a yard a century. THE CHOWAN HERALD The Washington Report by Congressman Walter B. Jones During the last week the House did not have a single roll call vote, but it is an ticipated that next week (beginning February 28) long and lengthy consideration will be given the Jobs Bill to at tempt to deal in some small way with the serious unemployment problem fac ing this nation. At this point in time, the final version has not been perfected, but in a com plete change from last year. President Reagan has agreed to approve this type legisla tion, if it conforms or nearly conforms with his recommen dations. In all probability, the final version will show the Democrats seeking to in crease by approximately $2 billion, the $4 billion plus which the President had reaommended. If the Democratic version should pass the House and Senate, it remains to be seen if the President would agree or would exercise his veto which he has done so often in the past. I am sure by now everyone is aware of the problem at the Environmental Protection Agency which has brought about one of the most serious confrontations between Con gress and the Executive since the Watergate days. So far no one has been accused of any criminal action, but the con frontation has resulted in the dismissal of some five or six of the key personnel. Tgjne, this is a classic example at not having a co-ordinated staff that is dedicated to the job assigned them. I have always contended that the head of a Department or fojr that mat ter, a Member of Congress, is no more effective than the staff, which in the final analysis, does the majority of the work. Some of the conser vatives who through the years have been critical of the EPA’s drastic actions, are delighted this is taking place; whereas the liberals or the conservatives who have ap plauded EPA’s actions are somewhat embarrassed. During the last week I had a courtesy call from the new Secretary of Transportation, Elizabeth Dole, a native of Salisbury, N.C. And a graduate of Duke University. I was most impressed with her dedication towards restoring the strength of our merchant marine fleet if at all possible. She also pointed out that she was the first woman ever to be Secretary of a Department which involved the military, referring to the U.S. Coast Guard, over which she has jurisdiction. I think a most interesting fact which should make Duke Universi ty as well as the entire State of North Carolina proud, is that out of the five women ap pointed to Cabinet level posi tions during the four years of the Carter Administration as well as the two years of the Reagan Administration, two Quiz Bowl Saturday, March sth will be the decisive day for ten high school teams representing as many counties in the annual public librarians’ State Quiz Bowl Competition. Having survived their local contests, the ten teams will meet in Williamston at the Martin County Auditorium at 10:30 A.M. to determine which two teams will advance to the State Quiz Bowl Finals in Raleigh oa March 26th. of lie j£t Jf>ut yeflr£by public AraSts : throughout North Carolina, the Quiz Bowl Competition aims to encourage and reward the academically oriented students in the state’s high schools. Pet tigrew Regional Library has sponsored teams in Chowan, Perquimans, Tyrrell, and Washington counties for two years.

Generating Electricity To what extent can North Carolina farms produce elec tricity along with tobacco, chickens and a host of other plants and animals? The Agricultural Extension Service of North Carolina State University hopes to have the answer to this ques tion within a year. The North Carolina Alter native Energy Corporation (AEC) has granted the Exten sion Service $143,000 to look at the possibility of generating electricity from biomass resources in the state. Larry Graham, biological and agricultural engineering specialist, said the Extension Service would survey biomass resources on North Carolina farms and look at the technology for using these resources for the on-farm generation of electricity. “We’ll also be very concern ed about the economic feasibility of generating elec tricity on farms,” he said. Animal wastes, low-grade trees and crop residues are examples of biomass found in large quantities on many farms. Graham said electricity generated from these pro ducts might be used on the farm or might be sold to power companies, a practice referred to as co-generation. “Our ultimate goal is to design generation systems that farmers might consider if on-farm generation proves practical and economical, ’ ’ he said. The Alternative Energy Corporation, a non-profit organization funded by power companies, granted the Ex tension Service $84,000 last year to teach conuty agents how to make on-farm energy audits. This teaching effort is continuing in 1983 with a renewed AEC grant of $71,000. /jieritageV v R* ALT Y^§ 106 East King Street 482-2645 1 482 7147 ; NEW LISTINGS ■■■ ■ V.;- MOBILE HOME—On 3lots, 3 BR, twocar garage, ex* | cellent condition $25,000: IN TOWN Brick ranch, 3 Bedroom. l> 2 Baths, and garage $55,000. 105 ACRE FARM w/Long Grain Bin, drying unit, and two shelters.
