Kin Hubbaid | Students Build | Bluebird Houses. Some of Mrs. Goodwin's j class at Swain School have j been making bluebird houses | under the direction of Mr. i Underwood. They learned | that the eastern bluebirds are | almost extinct because of a shortage of natural cavities for nesting. They are an asset to people because their diet consists entirely of insects. The students learned to use a ruler and a square to make a pattern with paper. Using a hand saw and electric saw, the students cut the wood. The holes for the nails were started by a drill and finished by a hammer. When the bird houses are finished, the students will carry them to Mr. Under wood’s home to put them up. If they are put up close to houses the sparrows will take them over. I Careful Digging 1 I ELIZABETH CITY -J Because some people do not watch where they dig, many of Carolina Telephone’s customers suffer temporary loss of service and the com pany loses thousands of dollars each year. One free call to ULOCO, 1-800-632-4949, by contractors or private citizens who plan to undertake work which will re quire digging into the ground where buried facilities of utili ty companies are nearby could solve those problems. ULOCO, which stands for Utilities Locating Company, quickly will contact all par ticipating members in the proposed area of excavation to make them aware of the planned work. Each of the members, which include many of the state’s power, water and telephone com panies then will send person nel to the site and mark its particular underground facilities. ULOCO can be notified be tween the hours of 7 A.M. and 5 P.M., Mondays through Fridays, and should be called 48 hours in advance of the scheduled digging. Carolina Telephone is a charter member of ULOCO anc? pjays 3 reje to belong to the system. •; / \” ■ “There is no cost to the caller,’’ said Daniels, district commercial and marketing manager. “Carolina Telephone and many of the public utilities are making a major effort to reduce rapid ly escalating damages to underground lines. Damage to our cables amounts to thousands of dollars each year, a cost which is ultimate ly paid by our customers. If we can reduce these damages, it would help keep our subscribers’ rates down. Also, fewer of our customers who need telephone service would be inconvenienced.” Daniels said that Carolina Telephone plans to continue to bury the majority of its cable because underground cable is less costly to place and main tain than aerial cable and makes the landscape more attractive.

Eden Street EDENTON 482-8218 Increase In The Production Os Fruits And Vegetables Commercial production of fresh fruits and vegetables in the state increased about 33 per cent during the 1970’5. Volume of output rose from 1.2 million tons in 1970 to near ly 1.6 million in 1980. “This growth in production occurred despite renewed in terest in home gardening and increased output in com peting regions”, says Dr. Ed mund A. Estes, an economist at North Carolina State University. Real farm income from fruit and vegetable sales in North Carolina rose 15 per cent during the decade, while real income from sales of all other crops rose only 1 per cent, he said. Cash receipts from com mercial fruit, vegetable and nut sales in the state in 1980 exceeded $166 million. Will this growth continue? “Future growth in the fruit and vegetable industries in North Carolina will certainly occur, but producers should be cautious that the rate of production growth is balanc ed with the rate of-market growth,” Estes said. He added that markets must be assured before a crop is planted. Otherwise the enterprise will probably not be successful. There has been con siderable discussion about whether opportunities exist to expand fruit and vegetable production in North Carolina, especially for farmers with limited resources. Arguments for expanded local production of hor ticultural crops, Estes said, are: * Expected net returns from fruits and vegetables ap pear higher than those from alternative agronomic crops. * The Tar Heel state has a favorite climate and the natural resources and technical expertise to in crease production. * Demand for fresh and pro cessed horticultural crops is increasing. Per capita con sumption of.Jrujts ajjd vegetables has increased;^,. •pericettfayw “ However” ; u^id J “expanded local fruit and vegetable production is viable only if dependable, stable and accessible sales markets ex ist for the products.” I BLOWPIPE I REPAIR I I DESIGN FABRICATION INSTALLATION I I GORDON SHEET METAL I J 315 S.

In addition, Estes said, significant changes in daily or even hourly prices on the Faison Auction Market are common. He said prices in the market simply reflect the balancing of simply and de mand, but uncertainty about short-run market supply levels frequently result in unstable prices. Better coordination bet ween production and marketing plans can reduce but not eliminate widely fluc tuating prices, Estes said. He also said farmers have developed several strategies to reduce or manage the risks associated with price instability. Popular options include contracting with processors for a portion of the crop, stag gering plantings to advoid the crop maturing at one time, and adding value to the pro duct by improved post harvest handling procedures to extend the shelf life.
