Program Announced
; r
fc The Duplin Agricultural
"Extension Service was
among the 100 counties an
-nodncing a new statewide
?>ur-year plan, Nov. 21. The
.{dan projects a statewide
.increase of $SS million in

Agricultural Programs com

People's Plan '87
*
Agriculture
{ The major programs in
cluded in Duplin's agricul
tural four-year plan of work
^are: Farm business rpanage
*ment and marketing,
? poultry, livestock and poultry
Ipest management, field
Jcrops, livestock, horticultural
?production, forestry and
Ihome beautifications. there
|are provisions for assessing
*
?
and reporting any accom
plishments of the above
major programs including
participant surveys and re
sults of major program ac
tivisites. The accomplish
ments will be conveyed
through the Extension Ad
visory Leadership System via
specialized committee^, the
program committee, and the
Extension Advisory Leader
ship Council, through the
news media and Extension
newsletters.
Home Economics
The major programs in
home economics concentrate
on family economic stability
and security, foods and nu
trition and health, and family
strengths and social environ
ment, said Elinor Ezzell.
chairman of the Home Eco
nomics Program Committee
in Duplin.
these programs are based
on the following problems of
Duplin families as identified
by the Extension Home Eco
nomics Advisory Committee
in early 1983: Difficulty in
coping with financial prob
lems; Lack of use of all
available resources in order
to extend family income; lack
of knowledge in making best
choices in all aspects of the
housing dollar; lack of un
derstanding of the aging
process and making adjust
ments to aging; lack of
understanding of how good
nutrition contributes to total
health; and lack of skills in
getting maximum nutrition
from the food dollar and
other resources in order to
meet nutritional needs.
4-H
Four-H planned program
ming in the next four years
will concentrate in four major
areas. These major programs
are: 4-H public awareness
support designed to help
increase membership, volun
teerism, financial support
and develop activities; 4-H
program expansion to in
crease the number of youth
involved in educational ex
periences through the com
munity setting; 4-H program
maintenance to increase the
length of time that volun
teers and 4-H'ers remain in
volved in the 4-H program
and; development of youth
and adult leadership and life
skills through special interest
programming and/or project
clubs designed to help youth
and adults develop life skills
in specific subject matter
areas and leadership skills
which will enable them to be
effective leaders in the
future.
Community Resource
Development
Over $500 million of the
$670 million tax base is tied
directly to agriculture. Many
of Duplin's people are rural
nonfarm, but their life style
is controlled by this
economy, said David Bvrd
Jr., chairman of the Duplin
Community Resource
Development program.
In order to accomplish
this, the plan of action will
be: County fair to operate
with committee structure
that will cause expansion of
the fair, development of
facilities, cooperation be
tween communities, inter
mingling of business,
government, industry, and
agriculture and open com
munications for further pro
jects; implement obser
vances of National Ag. Day,
Farm City to reinforce;
develop and expand facilities
for Cowan Museum to attract
tourists; correlate work of
4-H and CRD program com
mittees to determine day
camping/workshop facilities
needs and acquire some.

Extension Notes
Keep Parties Simple
'Tis the season for enter
taining, some of it formal
and some of it simply friends
and relatives dropping by.
Extra entertaining, combin
ed with all of the other ad
ditional chores related to the
holidays, can overload a per
son. Dr. Nadine Tope, exten
sion food and nutrition
specialist-in-charge. North
Carolina State University,
offers the following tips: i
-Plan an emergency menu
which can be quickly whip
ped up from items on hand.
Then if friends do drop by, it
will be easy to invite them
to stay for dinner.
-When planning a party,
choose dishes which can be
prepared together or ahead
of time to gave last-minute
work.
-Don't go overboard with
fancy, high calorie dishes.
Your guests will thank you.
