One reason, of course, is because she feels the pinch when she goes past the check-out just as much as a city housewife does. But she's got still another reason to be unhappy. She knows how little the farmer benefits from these higher prices. For example, from 1952 to 1972, farm prices of food products increased less than 11 percent while retail food prices went up about 46 percent. During this same period of time, the farmer's costs of produc tion increased around 109 percent. However, wage increases have soared upward by around 130 per cent. It's no wonder she gets angry! So why do your food bills keep climbing? Because of inflated prices for all goods and services and because a lot happens to the food between the far mer and you. For one thing, it's made easier to store and to handle and to use the way you want it. There are foods that are canned, frozen, concentrated, dehydrated, ready-mixed, ready-to-serve, heat-and-serve, in individual servings and you name it. This built-in "maid-service" helps push your food bill still higher. Amid it all, it might be easy to overlook the fact that if it hadn't been for the farmer's amazing production efficiency, food prices would be even higher than they are. Knowing all this probably won't make you any happier about food prices, but we want you to know that farm families are just as concerned about it as everyone else.

Mar Hill fhm ilt lStl Conveniently located in the Mrdicol Center Rdej9h The Easter Bunny, born in pagan England many cen turies ago, was put to death in Ralienh last week-that is, if the Senate concurs in the passage of a House Bill that prohibits the sale of rabbits, chicks, and ducks for pets, before they are eight weeks old. The bill was introduced by Representative Charles Webb of Greensboro, was approved by the Wildlife Committee, and was argued about over a period of two days by the House. The bill's introducer conceded that proving the age of a chick, rabbit, or duck could pose a problem in case some one is hailed into court for violating this law. A bill now being considered by the House Election Laws Committee will make ab sentee voting easier, faster, and simpler, and will still retain as many safe-guards against fraud as are contained in the present law. And ab sentee voting will be per mitted in primary elections as well as in general elections. Any one who is unable to vote in person on election day will be permitted to go to the office of the County Election Board, make application for a ballot, get the ballot, vote, and have the ballot notarized, all in one visit. The application and the ballot will then be retained in the Election Board office until it has been approved by the Board. The members of the Election board, with members of both parties present, will be permitted to begin counting the absentee ballots sometime during the afternoon of election day, so that by the time the polls close, the ab sentee ballots will all be counted. During the last election, counting the ab sentee ballots after the polls closed delayed reporting election returns in some of the larger counties for several hours. This bill should be reported out by the House Election l,aws Committee this week. The bill to require the political composition of County Election Boards to conform to the party voter registration in the county was withdrawn by Representative Gerald Arnold, its introducer. He said the bill hid become too controversial and was bringing about a major split between the Executive and the legislative branches of State Government. The timing for the bill was all wrong. Four years ago, the bill would have been a good one; four years hence, it will be a good bill. But his year, it was too controversial. Next week, a subcommittee from the joint House and Senate Appropriations Committees will take over the task of putting the State's first annual budget in order. The General Assembly is tentatively scheduled to recess around May 11. It may meet this deadline, but a lot of work is going to have to be done first. Still ahead are No Fault Automobile Insurance, Ijquor-by-the-Drink, revision of the Highway and Wildlife departments, implementing the second stage of the reorganization of departments of State Government, and the disposition of a lot of tax cut bills which Representative Iiston Ramsey says would reduce the State's revenue by $200,000,000 per year.

The General Assembly may have solved the Capital Punishment issue last week, when the House passed a bill which simply says that first degree murder is punishable by death. No other crimes are involved unless first degree murder was connected with the crime. At the end of last week, 1,000 bills had been introduced in the House and 650 in the Senate. Paint Fork Bits And Pieces Spring is truly just around the corner! The onions and tomato plants on my window sill are about an inch tall I had to plant something as soon as the seeds arrived in the mail. Cresses are coming up in the old fields and road sides and ramps are growing fast. let's all give a hearty birth day greeting to Herbert Metcalf who celebrated his name day on March 29! The Paint Fork Baptist Church WMU met Sunday night, March 25 at the home of Mrs John Gardner on Route 2. An opening devotion was given by Mrs. J. G. Gardner. Mrs Jr. Anderson presided over the business session. Mrs. Paul Moxley aided by several members presented the program composed of several talks on pollution, minority groups, and missionary field work of the Baptist Church. The April WMU meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Oscar An derson, Sr. who adjourned the meeting with a benediction. Everyone admired that attractive flower arrangement at Paint Fork Baptist Church Sunday morning. I hose exquisite chrysanthemum-like flowers were hand carved out of maple wood by one of Madison County's own artists. Brown Norton of the Grapevine section cleverly fashions wood into flowers. From the rear of the church where I was sit ting, the arrangement looked ' like a live bouquet from the florist. The Kindergarten Class at Mars Hill Baptist Church enjoyed a trip to the Fire and Police Departments in Asheville Tuesday morning. I chauffeured a group of Will's classmates, and will readily admit I enjoyed the trip as much as the children. My main comment would be to commend the children on their excellent manners. The teacher of this group is Mrs. Jack Grose. Mrs. Robert Gardner of Route 2 is a patient at Mission Memorial Hospital in Asheville. Our best wishes for her speedy return home. Revival To Start Apr. 15 At Dry Branch A series of revival services will begin Sunday, April 15, at the Dry Branch Free Will Baptist Church, it was an nounced this week by the Rev. Lloyd Chandler, pastor. The Revs. Alf Taylor and Paul Dockery will be the visiting preachers. Nightly services will begin at 7:30 o'clock and the public is invited. "Wat fSt-2021 I oAWwing U lint aii editorial VrTTcouT V7QHD3 rrvT a Feed Grain Set -Aside Acres Are Lowered No change has been made in feed grain program payments as a result of the lowering of feed grain set-aside from an acreage equal to 25 percent of a farm's base to 10 percent, reports Ralph Ramsey, County Executive Director for the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service. "The set-aside acreage reduction is automatic," he said, "and producers have no added paper . work and no required virtsV to the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) County Office." The only change is that the sjt-asjde requirement for producers who dnrblled under the 25 percent set-aside plans has been reduced to 10 per cent. The effected producers have been notfied of the change by the County ASCS Office. Ramsey emphasized that payments for all participants in the feed grain program are unchanged whether they signed under what was the 25 percent set-aside plan or under the zero set-aside plan " He points out that payments are calculated on half the feed grain base times farm yield payment rate. However, those feed grain producers who signed up to set aside acreage arc required to set aside 10 percent of their feed grain base and maintain their conserving base in order to qualify for payment. On their remaining cropland acreage they are free to plant any crop they choose except quota crops. Those producers who signed up for the zero set-aside plan agreed to accept a reduced payment in order to have use of all their cropland except their conserving base free for planting. They also agreed to limit their feed grain plan tings to no more than their 1972 production. "None of this is changed," How to alibnl more life insurance than you can afford. Nationwide has a plan for young men who cant afford life insurance they need. Nationwide calls it Career Man insurance. It's permanent insurance with real cash value. The premiums start low when your starting salary ia low. Then grow as your income grows so you can always afford it For information on Career Man In- call the man from Ramsey said, adding that producers cannot switch from the set-aside they signed up for. He also said there is no change in the provision which allows haying and grazing on set-aside acreage, with a reduction in payment. The per-acre payment deductions for haying and grazing set aside land and for alternate crops remain as previously announced. "The lowering of required set-aside acreage probably was the least disruptive action that could be made in 1973 feed grain program. Action was j required to free up more acreage for planting and livestock use. "Study of the March 1 planting intentions report Historical Society To Visit Greeneville Sat.. The Madison County Historical Society will begin its 1973 schedule with a tour Saturday of Greeneville, Tenn., once the home of such famous men in history as Andrew Johnson, Davy Crockett and Col. James H. Rumba ugh. Johnson, born in Raleigh, went to Tennessee as a young man and opened a tailor's shop and built a home in Greeneville. Crockett, who lived in Greeneville, had many ties with Western North Carolina, including his par ticipation in the famous Vance-Carson duel. Rumbaugh ran a stage coach line along the Bun combe Turnpike to Greenville, S. C. When the Civil War broke out, Rumbaugh brought his family to safety in WNC and settled in Hot Springs, where he bought the famous Patton Hotel after the war and developed it into a noted I I I i Nationwide. - ; x ROT REEVES, AGENT PkswettMIU : Marshall, N.

"Action was necessary in order to prevent or alleviate a shortage in the supply of agricultural commodities. Set-aside acreage was the only land which could be readily released for crops," Ramsey said. Reduction of the feed grain set-aside is expected to return from 3.8 to 6 million acres back to major crops,. such as corn, grain sorghum, barley and soybeans. The added corn acreage is expected to total 2'i to 31 million acres. Other acres of released set-aside land may be used for livestock forage. tourist resort.

Sunday School Lesson ". FOR APRIL t, 1971 1 ' r, LESSON TEXT: -Isaiah 52: U to : It;. Matthew 2:1-S, y. . ' i I Peter MM ' v : v Our Lesson for today has i very special connotation for - every Christian, who accepts Christ's saving grace. For Christ,. sinless Himself, shed His blood on the cross that we might be saved. This was His purpose in life among men, and He performed it selflessly. Therefore, how great a debt we owe! Will we ever be able to repay it adequately? "Adequately"? No. In token? Yes ! We can answer the call to repentance and renewal, wholeheartedly and devotedly. And that is the only price we are asked to pay for this stupendous sacrifice! All men, at some time or another, have strayed from God, no matter how devout a Christian they have thought themselves to be. Christ's death on the cross assures them of absolution from such sin. In the shedding of His precious blood they are given another chance, and another, and another. They are given the key to life everlasting. In the Christlike image they are given an example upon which to pattern themselves, their lives. We cannot do all that He did, but we can emulate Him in our dealings with others. We can exhibit concern for our fellowmen, His love for those less for tunate than ourselves. When we have done this we have repaid, in part, the debt that His sacrifice has laid apon our shoulders.. .but only in part. Reviled, abused, Christ never stooped to retaliation against His tormentors; nor did He succumb to their temptations. His glorious spirit soared aloft and, in contrast, made small men smaller. Jesus' advent. His life, His death. ..and the purpose of that death. ..was foretold even before His birth.

He came on earth to serve all mankind; to be in termediary between man and the Father who dwelt in heaven. He was the Good Shepherd who led his flock to safety from the storms of the world; the Shepherd who sought the lamb who was lonely and tost, and about to die, and, finding it, bore it lovingly back to the fold. In early Biblical times Temple rituals often included the sacrifice of animals; these were felt to be the means of forgiveness of trans gressions forgiveness through sacrificial sub stitution. Such was Christ, who has often been referred to in Biblical passages as the "Lamb of God." His death on the cross was the ultimate sacrifice, the final signature on the page of religious history.
