Last week the North Caro
lina Society at Farm Man
agers and Rural Appraisers
toured three major points at
interest in Robeson County as
a part of their annual summer
tour. Some local farm leaders
who are involved in that
society include Frank Boyette,
David Guy, David Barker, and
Gene Ballard.
As a part of their tour, they
- made an extensive visit of the
Federal Paper Board Tree
Nursery with Jim Deines,
Federal's area woodland
manager, providing the ex
planation of the many genetic
improvement activities that
are underway at the tree
nursery. Another stop iaciuo
ed a tour of the Campbell
Soup Complex in Maxtor.
while the other stop was the'
one that provided the inspira
tion for this particlar column.
The third stop was msde at
one of McNair Farms units
that is consistently highly
productive. This particular
farm is called the Desert and
is located near Rennert. It is a
classic Carolina bay in every
way, and following the drain
ing of this large Carolina bay,
it was subsequently cleared
and the crops that are grow
ing at the present time are
simply magnificent.
The total land area of the
Desert includes approximate
ly 1,600 acre* with over 1,200
acres cleared and in produc
tion. The Desert farm is a
classic example of some of the
reclaimed wetlands that is so
characteristic of many of the
productive farms in this coun
ty
In recent years USD A has
placed major restrictions on
the development of wetlands
and have actually restricted
the Soil Conservation Service
in their activities regarding
reclamation of these wet
lands. However, with most of
the Carolina bays in this area
having predominant soil types
of Rains or Coxville, when
drained they become ex- |
tremely productive for com. ?
sqy beans, and other related c
crop*. (
?
The recently re Ins sod defi
nition at wetlands by USDA
stated that "Wetlands are
those areas that are inundated
by surface or ground water
with a frequency sufficient to
support and, under normal
circumstances, do or would
support a prevalence of vege
tative or aquatic life that
requires saturated or season
ally saturated soil conditions ,
for growth and reproduction.
Wetlands generally include ,
swamps, marshes, bogs, and
similar areas, such as slou
ghs, potholes, wet meadows,
river overflows, mudflats, and
natural ponds."
While considerable contro
versy may continue to exist
regarding reclamation of wet
lands, a view of the Desert
farm surely indicates that
when properly drained, soils
of the type that are predomi
nant in the Carolina bays of
this area certainly are highly
iroductive and appear to be

GOOD NEWS FOR MATURE AMERICANS
Eating a balanced diet and
exercising regularly can
help add years to your life.
There's good news for
Americans ?a long, healthy
and active life is not just the
result of good genes and a
pinch of luck. Evidence is
accumulating that good di
et and sound health habits
contribute significantly to
longevity.
Experts from the Wheat
Germ Fitness Foundation ?
an organization of profes
sionals dedicated 'to pro
moting healthful diet and
physical fitness ?say that
people who practice even
some of the following good
habits can enhance their
well-being.
1. Eat a balanced diet.
Healthy diets are based on a
viae variety of minimally
processed foods in moderate
amounts. The easiest way to
get the right balance of nu
trients is to choose from the
four basic food groups.
2. Maintain appropriate
weight for your height. Re
member, that as energy
needs drop slowly with each
passing decade, food intake
and activity levels should be
adjusted accordingly. For
example, a woman who may
have needed 2,000 calories
in her early 20a, may need
only 1,500 to 1,800 calories
in her mature years Other
dietary concerns for the
older person include lim
iting sodium, cholesterol
and sugar. Older people also
need more fiber for nor
mal elimination. One good
source is Kretachmer Wheat
Germ, a nutritious natural
cereal.
3. Use alc'ohol in moder
ation, if at ail, and do not
tmoke
4. Exercise regularly.
Staying active helps preserve
muscle tone, may prevent
calcium loas in bones and
helps prevent weight gain.
Activity is also important
for digestion and good
blood circulation.
For a has fitness guide
that includes exercise and
nutrition information for
mature adults, as well aa a
number of healthful recipes,

Fitnesa Foundation, P.O.
