Holt, Chairman of the Warren County Cotton Im provement Association, has announced the approval of Warren County's application for the Smlth-Doxey Cotton Sampling Service. From all Indications, wc will not make extensive use of this service but nevertheless, It will be available at the gins for those lucky enough to have cotton ginned. AGRICULTURE - 2000 This is the fifth in a series the year 2000: Research, Teaching and Extension If our agricultural educa tional facilities keep space with economic development, we should expect the farmer of the future to know the basic scientific aspects of farming. With competition maintained an,1 a grov.-^g scientific and managerial knowledge ofopei'ation, farm ers will be les.-s willing to wait until information filters out to them through the conventional machinery of county extension agents, agri cultural college publication, etc. Rather than wait until two years have elapsed for this process, a large number - and even a majority - will want to get research findings directly from the experi mental plot or laboratory. Our teaching program In the future should be direct ed more on prlnc'.pTes and con cepts and less on technology and species management. This will require Increased em phasis In the basic sciences. A student grounded In science car readily Incorporate tech nology If he knows the princi ples involved. Most of our land grant col leges are Involved in Institu tional development and re It's not easy to face up to this very unpleasant subject. The possibility of your own death is simply a fact of life. You probably have great plans for your family's fu ture. And we'd like to show you some of ours. GILBERT L. HILLIARD Warren ton, N. C.

The implications for agri cultural extension education as a result of continuing economic change are wide spread. Two questions that relate to the extension pro gram are: "What are the more significant needs of Intelligent commercial farmers?" and "Under what conditions do these farmers seek informa tion?" Each individual farmer needs specialized knowledge tailored to his specific type of farming. This information might draw upon a wide range of subject matter and get into such fine points as choosing the best alternative from among several good practices. There may also be problems of fitting technology into mu tually supporting systems. Capital requirements and risk considerations also play an in creasingly important role. Commercial farmers need to understand executive man agement and decision - mak ing principles and to know how -to?handle data and decisiuii making tools and techniques. Those commercial farmers need to understand essentially all there is to know about factors that affect their opera tion. They are willing to study nutrition, physiology and re production In a basic as well as an applied sense. These needs add Increasingly higher levels to the extension educa tional program and permit new methods to be used. Labor Techniques One of the most dramatic changes in American agricul ture has been the shift toward greater use of capital rather than land and labor. The shift toward substituting capital for labor and for land will continue for some time. The shifts are caused part ly because of the high price of labor relative to the prices of other farm Inputs, and part ly because of difficulties farmers are experiencing in getting the quality of labor they desire. These shifts are being hastened by the research and educational work of the USDA and the land-grant col leges. In the future the amount of Inputs purchased off the farm will increase further. A re quirement for remaining in farming will be the adoption of new inputs that result from technological research and in novation. Not only will there be an Increased range of in puts available to farmers, but -there .will also be many tm provements in the qualities of inputs now available. Looking toward the year 2000, we may expect further decline in the importance of land and labor inputs in farm ing but an increased use of purchased capital per farm, per acre, and per farm work er.

Soil Conservation Hews Fescue Is Versatile Plant, White Says By NAT WHITE One of the most versatile plants tn use In agriculture today Is Ky.31 fescue. This plant Is used extensively In forage programs to produce food for catties, and In soil conservation to protect land from erosion. It stays green during the entire year, so it Is used in many lawns. Kentucky 31 fescue is a cool weather perennial, but it grows some each month of the year". The best time for seeding is early fall and early spring, but it can be seeded during most months of the year If mulch Is applied. Soil Con servation Service technicians use it entenslvely on critical areas, grassed waterways, pond spillways and dams, and on most areas where cover is hard to establish and main tain. Fescue is excellent to work in rotation with row crops. It can be established by simply mixing 20 pounds of Ky. 31 fescue per acre with small grain and planting In the usual way. When the small grain is harvested the fescue comes Jthroi to improve the soil furr winter grazing, and reduce diseases and insects. Fescue is one of the high est yielding forage plants used in a livestock program pro ducing up to 7000 pounds of dry forage in a year. It is available for grazing every month of the year, and when left to grow in late summer and early fall can go a long way towards wintering the herd. Some farmers have win tered as high as three head per acre on fescue growingon cropland in rotation with row crops. This is one of the most economical ways of wintering cattle. The Warren Soil Con servation District has stress ed the need for fescue in ro tation with row crops down through the years. Most War ren County farmers have need for fescue in their pas tures, on their cropland, and in grassed waterways. Make bath mats reversi ble and get longer wear from them. Sew two cotton terry cloth mats together, back to back? Use coordinated mats .,. one in a solid-color and one in a pretty floral pint. Jehovah's Witnesses Meet At Henderson By WALTER SNEED Presiding Minister Never anything like it be fore! Best assembly yet! A great spiritual blessing! These were some of the ex pressions of appreciation heard from the hundreds of delegates who attended the circuit convention of Je hovah's Witnesses neld in Henderson, at the Eaton John son Elementary School last weekend. There were 495 in attend ance at the opening session Friday evening and for the Sat urday evening session 617 were present. Also on Satur day three new witnesses were baptized. Both Saturday and Sunday mornings were devoted to the house-to-house preaching of God's Kingdom. The witnesses were offering a Bible study aid entitled, "Life Everlast ing In Freedom Of The Sons Of God." and copies of the Watchtower and Awake maga zines. The witnesses believe the Watchtower to be earths most authoritative Christian Journal. It has a world-wide circulation of 9,900,000 copies each month, published in 71 different languages. Walter Sneed, presiding minister of the North Unit congregation here in Warren ton stated that 741 were pre sent to hear the public talk Sunday. "Will G"rl Intprvpnp In Men's Affairs?", by C. G. Thompson, district super Wtut is the task facing the police officers of today throughout the nation? Well, let us examine the crime re ports?the crimes, that is, that are reported, bearing in mind that countless crimes are never reported and thus never become a statistic. Last year in this country, a serious crime was com mitted every ten seconds, day and night, seven days a week. A murder was committed every 48 minutes; a forcible rape every 21 minutes; aburg lary every 23 seconds. A car was stolen every 60 seconds, grand larceny every 35 seconds. To put it another way, there were 153,400 robberies com mitted last year; 1,370,000 burglaries, 10,920 murders, more than a half million cars stolen, and nearly three mil lion cases of grand larceny. Yet, thepoliceof the country i find themselves hampered, restrained and Intimidated by Supreme Court rulings. They find themselves Insulted and threatened by arrogant, vio lent mobs which mock the law and shout "police brutality" in a carefully-coached chorus. The people of America? the law ? abiding people?owe our police officers a debt of gratitude and respect. It is to be hoped that these officers will stick it out, en dure the frustrations, and con tinue to help preserve the hope of a continued civilized society. Tomorrow, when you see a police officer, tell him thanks. He deserves it. GOOD IDEA! Running out of aprons? Sew yourself a colorful patchwork apron. Use remnants from piecegoods counters or old sewing projects. Cut blocks of fabric in assorted cotton prints , each about ten inches square, and seam together for an apron skirt.
