J - EXTENSION SCENE 'I |LmmIservic11qn ^ | * Ownership of land t> one oT" the most highly ingrained characteristics of oar culture Usually the ownership of large qualities of land is associated with great wealth, and there is generally a desire by everyone to own some land. Therefore, h is nothing strange when one hears a description of another's land as being prime land. Also, it is a common characteristic of most individuals who call to secure information regarding land rental rates to describe their land as prime farmland. Within a general context I felt that I had a relatively good concept of the meaning of the phrase prime farmland, but recently when USDA's new statement of land use policy came acroas my dealt, I had an opportunity to review the specific definition hot prime farmland. After re viewing that information, 1 felt that it was important enough and a term that was used too often that perhaps the readers of my column would- like to read for them selves the actual definition that has been given to prime f*rmla??ds bv USDA. The general criteria tor prime farmland is land that has been the Beat combination of physical and chemical characteristics for producing food, feed, forage, fiber, and oilseed crops aad also avail able for these aaes (the land could be cropland, pasture land, rangeland, forest land, or other land but not urban built-up or water.) H has the soil quality, growing season, and moisture supply needed to economically produce sus tained high yields of crops when treated and managed, including water management, according to acceptable farm ing methods. In general, prime farmlands have an adequate and dependable water supply from precipita tion or irrigation, a favor able temperature and growing season, acceptable acidity or alkalinity, acceptable salt and sodium content, and few or no rocks. They are permeable to water and air. Prime farm lands are not excessively erodible or satuated with water for a long period of time, and they either do not flood frequently or are pro tected from flooding. Some examples of soils given by USD A that qualify aa prime farmland are Palouse silt loam, 0 to 7 percent slopes; Brookston silty clay loam, drained; and Tama silty clay loam, 0 to 5 percent slopes. With this definition in hand it is readily apparent that soils in this area such as norfolk sandy loam is definite ly prime farmland. Other local soils fitting into the prime category would certainly in clude aycock and marlboro. Naturally, the soils mentioned are not exclusive of some other excellent soils in this area. There are numerous speci fic criteria in the definition of prime farmlands and some of these include such factors u pH levels between 4.5 end 8.4 in all horizons within a depth of 40 inches or in the root zone if the root zone is less than 40 inches. Also the soils must have no water table or have a water table that is maintained at a sufficient depth during the cropping season to alow cultivated crops common to the area to be grown. The soils must not be .flooded frequently during the growing season (less often than once in 2 years.) The soils must have a permeability rate of at least .06 inches per hour in the upper 20 inches, and less than 10 percent of the surface layer, which is the upper 6 inches, in prime soils consists of rock fragments coarser than 3 inches. Should anyone desire a copy of the specific criteria for prime farmlands as well as unique farmlands, prime forest lands, wetlands, and flood plains, a call to the Extension Office is all that win be necessary. 0?4.d?l?s^e,-o imc u.s.armv cam see im f*e mstamuv ?si*?6 ficeoes. tqwrep with mwnvisiom.

LUMBERTON SCHOOL PLAN PROPOSED Lam be rfon-Legislation is be ing considered this week under which the Lumberton Board of Education will return to the Robeson County School System an area which the Lumberton district wrongfully annexed in the past. The school board unveiled the plan last week to return the Clyburn Pines- Country Club neighborhood to the county school system. State Rep. Horace Locklear, D-Robeson, is sponsoring the legislation in the General Assembly this week, possibly today. Under state law all changes in local school district boundaries must be approved by the General Assembly. Dr. L. Gilbert Carroll, su perintendent of Lumberton City Schools, said by return ing the area to the county school system, Lumberton should gain approval from the UL^f^gjrtnw^^^^^ice for other annexations made during the early 1970s. "Most of the objections of the Justice Department were in that area (Gybum Pines Country Gub)t'i Carroll said. Clyburn Pines- Country 0 Club was brought into the city school system in 1970. The Barker Ten Mile and Lake wood Estates neighborhoods were annexed in 1968. Last January justice depart i ment officials rejected the : annexations as having unbal anced racial makeup. ??=? rr?a . . X I ??

The Sunday School Lesson A Ministry of the Burnt Smmp Beptiet Association ?* * ? ..AN OPKESSOt LBEEATKD Ub 5127.32j 13.1-7,1*1-1? I invite you to read theae scriptures in their entirety from the Holy Scriptures. This Sunday's lesson deals with a man who was an oppressor and "his liberation. As a result at his liberation, many oppressed were liberated d from oppression. Zacchaeus was a rich man and he had reached the top in his profession. He was a publican, one who collected taxes for s foreign power. He added extra taxes so he could have the extra for himself. As a result of this, Zacchaeus' people hated him. We can see in this lesson that Zacchaeus was very wealthy, but he was not very happy. He had searched for happiness in position, in wealth, but he could not find it. This is the case today. We have people looking for hap piness in their jobs, political arenas, social circles, but they are still not satisfied. Zacchaeus had heard about Jesus, the one who would talk and eat with sinners, and he was determined to see him. This tax collector was so determined that he would not let anything or anyone stop him. He did not let the press (crowd) stop him or his statue. In many cases today, the unsaved cannot see Jesus for the press of the crowd. In other words, many say tht "I am not good enough to be saved" or "1 am so good 1 don't need to be saved." My friends. Jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost. He did not come for the righteous or those that say they are. He came for those who need a physician. Zacchaeus was so deter mined that he went where he knew Jesus was coming by. He climbed into a sycamore tree to see Him.- l>uke-19:S-6 states. ''And when Jasus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house. And he made haste, and came down, and received .him joyfully." These scrip tures let us know that Jesus is looking, and that He sees us. But, if we an to be saved, we must m?te haste (Be urgent), (hambfeouraelves), and rec ognize that today is the day of salvaboa for toaoimr U not' j ft,, t 1. - 1 M Alter laccoacus rocttvcQ Jeans joyfully, he made atepa to show all tbe community that he was a changed man. Luke 19;8- "And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold Lord, die half of my goods 1 give to the poor and tf 1 have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold." This is always true. When Christ comes into one's life, the individual always changes. A testimony is useless, worth less, and careless unless it is supported by deeds that come from the depths of the heart. Jesus demands more than a change in our words. He demands a change in our lives. So, if you want to seek Jesus, be like Zacchaeus, seek Him (Jesus) where you know He is coming by. Don't look for Him in a dance hall, a gambling joint, a beer can or a whiskey bottle. Don't look for Him in a political position or a social class. Let us look for Him in a Bible study or in a worship service some place. Seek and ye shall find, but let us seek in the right attitude and the right place. Yes. we see Zacchaeus, an oppressor liberated by the love of God. All men can be liberated by this same love. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begot ten Son. that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16. This great story of Zaccha eus ends with Luke 19:10 "The Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." I pray that before you leave this life it can be said about vou as it was about Zacchaeus that he was libe rated. There is only one way tbatt one cun be spiritually liberated and that is to accept the Lord Jesus as his personal Savior. I he Lord bless you and may heaven shine upon you.
