Robert Gatlin was telling me last week that he prepared his land for gardening last Friday. Then on Saturday he said that he had set out cabbage plants. This seemed early to me, but on Sunday a chart appeared in a daily papeT that gave the planting time for most vegetables, and cabbage was listed Feb. 1. 1 should have known that Gatlin would be right, when it comes to gardening or weather. Now who doesn't agree with this statement? Someone also told me last week that Raz Autry said that a few more days of this weather would bring out the buds on peach trees. Since retiring Raz has set out an orchard on his farm below Arabia. For the past two years most of the peaches in the state have been killed because of cold weather. Now if the trees start budding this early we could lose another crop of peaches. Time will tell. ? ? ? A church in Durham had the registrar at the worship service last Sunday to register all folks who were attending service and had not registered. Now some people would debate mixing politics and religion especially at the Sunday morning worship service. Whatever the answer or solution would be, some one got people registered to vote, vote. Have you registered to vote in the May primary? I don't believe the books will be at your church next Sunday, but they are now open and you can register until April 9th. So go by the Hoke County Library and get your name on the books. You can't VOTE if you are not registered. Do it today! * * ? Everyday now when you pick up a paper or listen to the news on television or radio you will hear of this or that organization endorsing a certain candidate or a group of candidates. 1 don't believe that this means as much now as it did a few years ago. Most people now see, hear or read about the candidates and then make up their minds on who to vote for or against. Most candidates promise organizations this and that and then fail to keep their promises, so members don't have the faith in either their organizations' leader ship or the candidates. Of course it is good advertise ment for the candidate that gets recommended. He or she gets free ads from the media. Polls, in my opinion, swing more votes than an organization can with its members. ? ? ? I just hope that 1 live long enough to ride from Raeford to Fayetteville on a four-lane highway. County's Farm Income Drops Farm income for Hoke County during 1983 in excess of $17.6 million, the county Extension Ser vice has estimated. The income for 1983 was down over $3 million from the previous year and off by $5 million over 1981, the extension service figures show. One of the areas hardest hit was the income from tobacco which dropped by $2 million from 1982. The decline in tobacco in come is attributed to a combina tion of factors which included cuts in allotments, the severe August drought and a lower average market price. Tobacco generally provides about 30% of the total agricultural income, therefore, factors- that adversely effect tobacco inodme for Hoke County will definitely have an impact on total cash in come, Extension Chairman Willie Featherstone said. There is a one-one correlation with a strong agricultural industry and the economy of Hoke County, in that income generated in agriculture supports many businesses and families of this county. Therefore, it becomes easy to understand that if there is less farm income there will be less money spent on other goods and services offered in Hoke County, Featherstone said.
