Soybean Meeting Tuesday An educational meeting in soybean production will be held Tuesday night, Feb. 28, at 8 p. m. in the Warren County courtroom, L. C. Cooper, agricultural exten sion agent, announced yes terday. H. S. Small, soybean spec ialist, and Jim Algood, farm management specialist, both with the North Carolina Extension Service will dis cuss improved production practices. The soybean, long known as "The Meat of the Fields" in the Orient, has come to be known as the "Cinder-, ella Crop" of the West, Cooper said. Soybeans are the number two cash crop in the United States and has the potential of being number two in Warren County in 1967. Cooper said soybean pro duction can fit well into most farms in Warren County whether it be hay, silage or commercial beans. Also on many farms soybeans are use ful in soil improvement and conservation practices. Last year Warren County producers grew approximate ly 4,000 acres of soybeans on 500 farms, Cooper said. The county, he said, has over 12,000 acres of idle land that are suitable to soybean pro duction, and the 1967 goal is to get an additional 2,000 acres of this idle land Into soybean production. Following im proved practices, he said, producers could average a minimum of 25 bushels per acre with support prices of $2.50 per bushel. This would mean an additional farm in come of $125,000. Cooper said that by carry ing out Improved practices on the 4,000 acre* that were planted to soybean, the growers could increase their yield by five bushels with the ?W?rt of $2.50i This would be an increased Income of $50,000 from soybean*. The meeting with the Exten sion specialists next Tuesday nlfM, Cooper said, could very well be worth m -****<?i' $17$,000 (arm inooae to War ren County soytai pro Warren County Is challeng ed to provide adequate re habilitation services for the county's growing number of crippled children and adults, Mrs. White said Monday as she launched the campaign. "We can take our choice here in Warren County," Mrs. White said, "We can either provide services when child ren are young and treatable to prepare them for indepen dent lives, or ignore the prob lem and let them grow up to become dependent adults, re lying upon our tax supported programs to keep them in dependency." Mrs. White pointed out that the Warren County Society for Crippled Children and Adults has in use by crippled resi dents of Warren County at this time three wheel chairs, two aluminum walkers and two pairs of crutches. In the past years, she said, transpor tation has been furnished by the society for patients to at tend orthopedic clinics, braces have been purchased for the handicapped, medicine provided for many in Warren County, and one child was sent to Camp Easter in The Pines for two weeks. The Society, Mrs. White added, is at present buying equipment for use by a physi cal therapist to work with the handicapped of the county. This clinic will be established as a part of the Warren Coun ty Health Clinic and will be opened soon.
