The machine will produce a carload of feed per hour. New Pellet Machine At Mill ^ Upchurch Milling Co. has In stalled a pellet-making machine which will produce a carload of pelletUed feed per hour. The niacliine, i. anufa .Cai td • in California, Is the largest In the world. It Is operated by a 200-horsepower motor and an 80 horsepower steam boiler. Upchurch Milling Co. Is using it to manufacture pelletized feed for chickens, turkeys, hogs and cattle. About 60 per cent of the company's feed Is now dis- trlcuted In pellet form. Two pelletizing machines give the local mill a capacity of 30 tons of.feed per hour. The new machine will produce pellets of different sizes. An attachment sprays the pellets with animal fat. Feed formulas are mixed In the mill’s mixing plant and blown by air to the pellet machine. According to Tom Cameron, general manager, the primary advantages of pelletized feed are; The cooking process(steam) makes the feed more dlgestable. It enables the animal to pick up spilled feed of the ground, thereby reducing waste. Pelletized feed runs better in bulk feeding systems. ^ Upchurch Milling Company has another smaller pellet machine In operation. It will produce about six tons of feed per hour.

Richardson Preyer brought his campalng for gover nor to Hoke County Wednesday and was greeted by a throng of supporters at the county courthouse. The Greensboro Democrat came here from Scotland County, stayed from 2 p. m. to 4 p. m., and moved on to neighboring Cumberland Coun ty- In a brief speech to a crowd of about 50 supporters In the courtroom, Preyer called for better schools, more industry, a $200 to $300 million road bond Issue and other measures to ’’turn our cycle of poverty Into a cycle of hope.” He promised, if elected, to provide a government that Is ’’sensitive to all the need of our state, and one that’s brave enough to do something about It.” "The number one problem we face Is that of lifting the Income of the average person In North Carolina,” Preyer said. ’’To day, that average income is about $1,700 per year. Only six states have lower income.” He declared that better schools will provide part of the, answer. "The main force In any cycle of hope is education. We have learned In North Carolina that the price of education is cheaper than the cost of Ignorance. We have made a lot of progress In education In recent years, and 1 pledge to continue that pro gram of progress,” he said. Preyer said the size of classes needs to be reduced In, the state, which Is fourth from the bottom among the 50 states in number ofpuplls per teacher. Particularly do we need to re duce the size of the first three grades, he said. "Another thing we need to do Is to make our free public schools really free by eliminat ing the 'extra charges’ such as the $6 book fee. We need to examine all the other various fees and to determine their need, and the feasibility of fi nancing them at the state level,” he said. He bemoaned the loss of the brightest talent In-the state, which, he said, is moving on after receiving an education m because there are no jobs here. ”We export a lot of things, but our most valuable asset we give away. In the last 10 years, 300.000 young people left North Carolina because they couldn’t find jobs here. ”In addition to that, 50,000 people a year lea’ve our farms. We’ve oot to find a place for them. Our labor forces In creases by 16 per cent a year, and we’ve got to find jobs for them. But today the demand la for trained labor, therefore, we’ve got to emphasize voca- See PREYER, Page 9 Hoke Stands To Secure i Industry w Hoke and the other four counties in the Sandhills Area Development Association may be on the threshold of major Industrial development in the food processing field. James Hinkle, Industrial de velopment engineer with the V r. Dept, of Conservation and Development, told the quarterly meeting of the association (SADA) In Southern Pines Tues day night that In the last six months alone serious interest In this state had been shown by 23 major food processing firms. Coincidentally, It was Tues day that Governor Sanford an nounced that about $750,000 Is being made available to local groups In the state Interested In setting up food proce-^slng plants. Raeford already has a thriving turkey processing plant, and there Is talk In the Sandhills of development of broiler processing facilities. Hinkle, who is leaving the C A D to work in Industrial de velopment for Carolina Power A Light Co., outlined for the 90 SADA members and guests at the supper meeting the way Industries usually choose a community in which to locate a plant. He summarized by tell ing the group that usually any place that Is a good place to live Is the kind of place an Industry wants. "If your community has the leadership and Is moving, you are doing the right thing," Hink le said. He also said that the way existing Industry Is being treated Is a big factor, along with labor relations, site a- vallablllty and price, utilities, community attitude. Telling how the Inquiries come through the CAD de partment, Hinkle made some of his listeners squirm when he said he had checked the file before conning to the meeting and found only three com munities from the five counties had current fact sheets there. He closed with the ob servation that In his opinion See INDUSTRY, Page 9 PREYER AND PALS -- Gubernatorial candidate L. Richardson with his Hoke County managers, Alfred K.

Action Town Taken Board No definite conclusions were drawn but promises of further consideration were made by the town board Monday night when It convened to hear delegations on three Issues. Purpose of the special meeting was to hear people who appea red at the boa rd meet ing Feb. 3 and who because of a heavy agenda, could not be heard. Mrs. Howard Steadman, who lives on Aberdeen highway, asked the board to review the action of Town Manager Ed Williams, who In a letter to people In the area stated that Feb. 20 was set as a water cut-off date provided Individual meter service had not been installed by that date. At pre sent several residents are using water coming from a central meter. The town manager has asked that each of these water customers who do not have a meter pay $50 for a water tap and a prorated share ($24.75) of the cost ofthe pipe necessary to relocate the main line. The board, having previously granted a LO-day extension of time for the service cut-off date, agreed to study the matter further. James McLaughlin of McLaughlin Plumbing Co. and M. K. Sessoms of Raeford Plumbing and Heating Co. com plained about another subject. They questioned the board as to a previously announced plan which would require plumbers to cut the streets and lay the sewer line from the main to the curb. Explaining that plumbers have no equipment to complete the extension work, they re- questHl that the town continue doing the necessary excavation and set a tapping fee to take care of the costs. The board agreed to con sider the suggestion and notify the plumbers of their decision. Jim Lentz of Lentz Mortuary and Frank C rumple r of Grump ier Funeral Home went before the baord to discuss recent changes In rules and regulations affecting the operation of the town-owned Raeford Cemetery. Lentz complained that the town’s price of grave spaces was extremely high and sug gested that $150 for a four- grave space was sufficient. Wil liams said that the town’s new price was still not as high as that at some other privately owned cemeteries In the area. Grumpier contended that the town’s recent decision to have town labor open all new' graves at the Raeford Cemetery and charge a fee of $25 for each was unreasonable. He suer gested that the funeraldlrectors be allowed to continue opening and closing graves as usuaL In other business, W. L. Howell was appointed a member of the Raeford Planning Board.
