Agriculturally Speaking ■ ~ . *i No Reports Received Of Serious Shortages By L. B.HARDAGE Thursday, May 13, 1977this has been a week of unusual weather, as all of you know. Rain varied last week over the county from probably 1/2 inch to close to 2 inches in some sections. April was dry except we had some rain the first week. As I recall not a large amount. Probably around one inch. On Monday, May 9th, Tuesday, 10th and Wednesday, 11th, it was unusually cold and windy, and some frost Tuesday morning and Wednesday morning. No large amount of damage visible to tobacco in the field; however I would assume that there would be a lot of resetting due to this S. H. ATKINS Painting Service Call 586 5212 Littleton HM is Guaranteed Interior and Exterior Painting FR£[ ESTIMATES unusual weather. Most corn is yellow and some frost bite: however, it will soon grow out of this. Small grain crops have been severely damaged by the cold winter and dry spring. This crop will be real short in the county. Pastures are in general poor to fair and will be real short this summer unless general rains come soon. I have not heard of any major tobacco plant shortages or any blue mold or disease problems in the plant bed. L. C. Cooper, Agricultural Extension Agent, estimates that corn, cucumber and soybean acreage will increase at least 10% each over the 1976 acreages. Part of this due to the cut back in tobacco acres and pounds for 1977. Make plans now to attend the tobacco stabilization meeting at the Scott Pavilion, N. C. State Fairgrounds on Friday, May 27 at 10 a. m. the Secretary of Agriculture will be the main speaker.

Mr. Hawkins, our resource person for the night, was very nice about teaching us some of the important things in our books. Many things that even I didn't know were brought out in the information he gave us. He brought a booklet entitled, "Roberts Rules of Order." A very enjoyable book it seemed to be. Then afterwards we just talked in between the lines about our booklet. There being no questions or responses from the members, our resource person then decided to read parts of the book. As the parts were read Mr. Hawkins gave brief but good explanations of each. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned for a short while for refreshments. REPORTERS BySALLIE WEST At the workshop for reporters we discussed how to select information for news articles such as: conflict, recency, newness, discovery, timeliness, prominence, recognition, nearness, significance, the unusual, adventure, names, numbers, amusement, etc. The content of the news articles was discussed in respect to the five W's: Who, What, When, Where and Why. How to write a news article was discussed in respect to the Inverted Pyramid story, the Chronological Order story and the Composite (many angles) story. We found out that the qualities of a good reporter are to be reliable, accurate, loyal, enthusiastic, respect for authority, to be impartial and courteous. We also learned the points to remember when reading before large groups such as: stand correctly using good posture; speak loudly, clearly and distinctly; look at your audience; use acceptable grammar, and use correct pronunciation.
