Pottery has heritage
; in state's history
When the first English settlers
arrived in the New World 400 years
- ago, they found the native
Americans cooking in "earthen
? pots," a fact that is really not sur
' ? prising since pottery, like fire and
: ? hunting implements, is a basic tool
of civilization.
L; In fact, native pottery has been
; found in every culture of the world
;? but two ? in New Zealand and
;? Australia.
'? More than likely, the first ex
! t amples of North Carolina pottery
were made by the Indians poun
; ? ding clay made from pulverized
. ? quartz, sand and crushed shell;
shaping the pots from coils or
* - strips of clay until the vessel reach
ed the desired shape and then
I smoothing them by hand. Certain
** ly, this method of pottery was
; ; typical of native American pottery
| . at the time.
Pottery was and remains a wide
: '? ly practiced folk art in North
Carolina, one that has evolved
?* from one of the most basic
utilitarian crafts.
The earliest European settlers in
the state relied on the pottery they
brought with them or what they
could fashion themselves. Since
early transportation methods were
unreliable for safe transport of
fragile earthenware, many suc
cessful settlements also had skilled
potters, and North Carolina with
its rich and varied soil was no ex
ception.
Among the active potteries in
North Carolina today are Old
Salem, Inc., Seagrove Pottery,
J.B. Cole's Pottery, M.L. Owens
Pottery, Jugtown Pottery, Joe T.
Owen Pottery, Teague's Pottery,
Cole's Pottery, Brown's Pottery
and Evan's Pottery.
They are found in Forsyth, Ran
dolph, Montgomery, Moore, Lee
and Buncombe counties.
North Carolina maintains an ac
tive pottery community today.
Many have inherited their family
traditions. Some still operate kilns
dug into the earth in the tradition
of the earliest potters.
A swelled head?
No, and this large fruit is not a pumpkin either, not in August. It is a
cantaloupe. Mary Jones brought this 26 pound monster into The
News- Journal office in a dump truck. Seriously, It was grown in her
garden fertilized with quail droppings and brought In herself, with
some difficulty. Her cantaloupe was given a hat and told to smile.
Soybean increases hurl
prices in North Carolina
By WUUc Featherstone, Jr.
County Extension Chairman
Current indications are that suf
ficient rationing of old crop soy
beans has occurred, and cash
prices in Central North Carolina
markets will likely range between
$6.50-$7 per bushel for the next
few weeks.
Soybean prices declined sharply
in early July as a result of improv
ed crop conditions and a larger
than expected USDA June stocks
report. _
Hoke County growers have in
crewejl sojljesn acresdijhtly this
year because "of their inability to
plant corn due to a cold, wet
spring.
All farmers are asked to certify
with the ASCS office planted acres
by August 10. After that date we
will know the number of acres
planted to each crop in Hoke
County.
These reports are important to
Hoke County producers from the
standpoint of forward pricing the
1984 soybean crop. Many times
these reports will cause the market
to move either up or down. If you
can accurately anticipate which
way the price will move, then a
producer will be able to make a
better marketing decision.
Based on this year's planting,
prices will remain very sensitive to
any threat of crop trouble, and ad
ditional weather scare rallies are
likely. Producers should follow
markets closely during the next
four weeks.
NEMATODES
Many soybean producers will ex
perience nematode problems this
year, and will have reduced yields
as a result of nematode infested

fields. There is no recommended
chemical treatment for nematode
is fields already planted to soy
beans, however, this summer is an
excellent time for Hoke County
growers to identify nematode pro
blems and determine whether soy
beans should be planted in these
fields next year with preplant
chemical treatments, or should the
field be rotated to another crop for
1985.

Can recycling hits record
Reynolds Aluminum Recyling
Company recyled the equivalent of
more than 72 million aluminum
cans in North Carolina during the
first six months of 1984.
A Reynolds official predicted
another record year for aluminum
recyling in North Carolina.
"We had felt all along that this
could be the best year yet for
aluminum recycling in North
Carolina," John Koschwanez,
area manager for Reynolds
Aluminum Recycling Company,
said. "Based on our figures
through the end of June, it looks
very good for a record this year."
"So far this year, we have
recycled more than three million
pounds of aluminum in North
Carolina," Koschwanez noted,
"and we have paid North Carolina
consumers more than SI million
for that aluminum.
"Many of our locations are now
open longer hours, and more days
each week, to make recycling
aluminum as convenient as possi
ble," he said. "Local recyclers can
find out the location, hours of
operation and prices paid for their
nearest recycling operation by call
ing our toll-free number anytime,
1-800-228-2525."
Reynolds purchases clean all- *
aluminum beverage cans and other
clean household aluminum pro
ducts such as pie plates, foil,
frozen food and dinner trays, and
dip, pudding and meat containers.
Reynolds also purchases
miscellaneous aluminum items
such as siding, gutters, storm door
and window frames, and lawn fur
niture tubing.
These items should be free of^
any non-aluminum items, cut to
lengths not exceeding three feet,
bundled and not mixed with cans.
Aluminum castings including
pots and pans, power lawn mower
housings and barbeque grill also
are purchased and recyled by
Reynolds.
