"Many farmers are pur chasing irrigation equipment or thinking about purchasing equipment," Sneed sald,"They simply cannot run the risk of taking another Inss like they did last summer" It Is estimated thai the drought cost Tar Heel farmers over $100 million. While interest In Irrigation has Increased, Sneed said the emphasis Is on "Mechanized Irrigation'.' The three general types of equipment belngbought are: ?Solid Set: Pipes are placed on top of ground to cover en tire areas to be Irrigated. Eli minates moving of pipe from place to place. Can be used on any crop, soli type or terrain. Cost: $430 to $900 per acre. ?Permanent: All pipes are underground. Only risers and sprinklers remain above ground. Can be used on any DAVIS Davis Assigned' SAN ANTONIO-Airman Mil ton G. Davis, son ol Mr. and Mrs. Richard O. Davis of Rt. 1, Warrenton, N.

Includes sell pro pelled, center pivot, side-roll and end-tow systems. Use limited to certain crops, soil type and terrain. Cost: $125 to $300 per acre, depending on type of system. Tar Heel farmers have been gallon since the early *50s, usually In proportion to the amount of rainfall each year. Equipment Is now available to Irrigate (by the sprinkler method) around 100,000 acres annually. Surface Irrigation Is used on another few hundred acres In the Tidewater, "Farmers have traditionally thought of irrigation as a type of Insurance?as a supplement to rainfall," Sneed explained. "But we must change our thlnking.Farmers need to think of irrigation as a standard production practice with many crops. Instead of irrigation be ing used as a supplement to rainfall, rainfall should be thought of as a supplement to irrigation, especially on the high-valtm-por-yre rrops" Here is a list of crops that experience has shown can bene fit from Irrigation: Tobacco - Most sprinkler irrigation equipment In North Carolina was purchased for tobacco. Interest In the Irriga tion of tobacco dropped sharply in 1965, however, with the adop tion of acreage-poundage con trols. But, Sneed believes that the irrigation of tobacco will still pay. "Irrigation improved the quality of some tobacco last summer by as much as 20 per cent," he explained. Vegetables - Irrigation Is recommended for such crops as green beans grown for process ing, green leafy vegetables, trelllsed tomatoes and cucum bers, especially fall cucum bers. Sneed cites the example of farmers who grossed $500 to $600 per acre on Irrigated fall cucumbers. Farmers who did not Irrigate had a crop failure. Small fruit - Irrigation is considered a must for" com mercial strawberries. It is also used extensively on blue berries. Irrigation can help to protect these crops from late spring freeze damage as well as provide water. Tree fruits - Apple growers with fairly shallow clay soils say that Irrigation makes them money. Research In North Car olina has not shown Irrigation of peaches to be profttableJte search In Maryland on two varieties did show increases In yield ot 100 percent with Irrigation. Flowers - Irrigation Is con sidered a must for commercial use Irrigation for cooling their flowers as well as for provid ing water. Corn - Research has shown that Irrigation Is "slightly bet ter than a break even proposi tion" for corn growers.The odds are better for silage corn than for corn grown for grain. Cotton - Irrigation Is recom mended for production areas In the southeast and Sandhills areas of North Carolina, but It Is not generally recommend ed In the northeast. Peanuts - Six years of re search show that Irrigation will Increase peanut yields annually by an average of 550 pounds per acre. Soybeans - Information Is limited on Irrigated soybeans In North Carolina. Research In Arkansas showed Irriga tion Increased yields by 10 bushels per acre. The biggest potential seems to be on late planted soybeans. In summary, Sneed believes that Irrigation will pay on about all crops grown In North Caro lina' Crops such as corn, cot Warren ton, North Carolina I'' GE 7 Peru's "Wild East" Awaits Taminq nnwilMIUtWil A IIC UI C&U" basket of tomoirow (or South America may be Peru's "Wild East." The rich virgin soli covers ?a n area bigger than Texas? 62 percent of all Peru. As a new frontier, say the nation's hopeful leaders, it could ease the population pressures on the rest of the country while helping to feed a continent. Vet It Is largely untouched, a land of monumental "lfs," "ands," and "buts." The jagged Andes wall off the east from the crowded coastal plain and highlands, the National Geographic so ciety says. Horizon-to-horl zon jungle hides its potential of farmland ad grazing rang es. Humidity and heat can be staggering, rainfall reaches 100 inches yearly, Indians are dangerous, wild animals and vicious fish abundant. Clearance Costs Millions A few pioneering attempts to develop the land have proved Its promise. But clearing the forests, growing pasture, and raising cattle, though success ful, has cost millions, mostly Unvested by Americans -The expense still Is beyond the reach of small farmers. A long-range government plan to clear 3.2 million acres of Jungle and resettle 5,250 families on part of the region is just starting. Only a single dirt road links ton and soybeans, may have to be irrigated along with high er value crops to reduce Irri gation cost the "Wild East" to Lima, Peru's capital. It snakes through 6,000-foot gorges and over mountain passes at breath catching altitudes. The track Is so narrow that traffic Is one way and switches directions daily. At the end of the road lies the outpost community of Pucallpa, on one of the head waters of the Amazon River. Five hundred miles down stream, or two hours by air, Is the capital of the "Wild East," the frontier town of Iquitos. Unlike Rome, no roads lead to Iquitos. But once the world beat a watery path to its door. The dawn of the automobile age produced an explosive de mand for the natural rubber of Iquitos' jungles. By 1907 the sleepy village on the 6,000 foot-wide Amazon was a boom town of 40,000. Residents lived in float ing slums and elegant variations of Victorian mansions. Ships steaming 2,300 miles down the Amazon took the rubber to the United States and Europe, re turning with French champagne, continental delicacies for the table, Sarah Bernhardt, .and grand opc-ra. Iquitos became the "Pearl of the Amazon," Bubble Bursts Then, with World War I, new ly planted rubber plantations in the Far East stole the mar ket, and the bubble burst. Iqul tos lapsed lnto'the lethargic embrace of the trlolcs. An airline keeps Iqultos tied to the capital with a scheduled three-hour flight. The jungles cannot be crossed by permanent roads because of annual flood ing of the Amazon's ragjng tri butaries. Freighters making the tricky 13-day run down the river regularly carry out the jungle products: wild animals for zoos and valuable skins, lumber, a root used In making insecti cides, rosewood oil for per fume, and lechi caspi forchew lhg gum. But the bonanza of Peru's "Wild East," the fertile soil of the jungle floor, still waits largely undisturbed by plows. BAXTER SPEAKER The Rev. E. W.
