had to attain technical train
ing in tobacco production,"

diversion and parallel ter- ,
races, contour planting, and ,
strip-cropping. Their corn, ,
tobacco and swine farm has
doubled in value over the
past 12 years, Boyette esti
mated.

you wake up," Boyette said
about his successful conser- ,
vation techniques which won
him the conservation award.
The Boyeftes are among 10
farmer and rancher finalists

the House agriculture sub
committee on conservation,
credit and rural develop
ment, and Senator Roger
Jepsen (R-1A), chairman of
the Senate agriculture sub
committee on soil and water
conservation and the envi
ronment.
In announcing the names
of the finalists on Oct. 31,
Endowment Chairman
Barker said, "The awards
program has been designed
to help make both farmers
and the general public more
conscious of the importance
nf saving our resources by
spotlighting the work of out
standing producers."
Dale Wolf, Du Pont group
vice president, said, "AH of
us at Du Pont are pleased to
sponsor the Endowment's
first awards program and to

ranchers deserve widespread
recognition and encourage
ment for their efforts to
practice sound, cost-effective
conservation techniques."
The NESWC, established
in June 1982, is a non

fostering a sense of stew
ardship for the land by
involving all americans from
the public and private sec
tors, formers and non
farmers alike, Barker said.
"This partnership hopes to
guarantee that we can look
forward to food and fiber for
a decent life and not accept a
diminishing soil and water
base." Barker said.
FmHA To Help
Farmers Stay-Up
Special actions by Farmers Home Ad
ministration (FmHA) to help farmers stay in
business were up substantially in the 1983
fiscal year, FmHA State Director Larry W.
Godwin, said.
In fiscal year 1982, Godwin said, re
schedulings and subordinations totalled
2,540. In fiscal 1983, which ended Sept. 30,
similar actions were 2,941.
The specifics: In the 1982 fiscal year, the
number of Farmers Home farm borrowers
who had their loans rescheduled or re
amortized to help them in mak.ng payments
was 790. In 1983 that was up to 1,268.
In addition, Godwin said. Farmers Home
in North Carolina assisted another 1,673
borrowers to obtain additional credit from
the private sector. These "Subordinations,"
in which Farmers Home subordinates part of
its loan collateral to other lenders, totaled
$26,421,000 in fiscal year 1983.
"Subordinations help both individuals and
all Farmers Home borrowers," Godwin said.
"An individual may need more credit than
FmHA, by law, can extend. By FmHA's
taking a second position to another lender,
our borrower is able to get adequate credit
for the operation. Second, by involving the
private and cooperative credit sectors, we
stretch our limited funds for those borrowers
who need this help the most."
Farmers Home Administration is the rural
credit agency of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture. This year, FmHA loaned to
271,000 farmers who could not get credit
elsewhere. Their loans totaled about 12
percent of the total farm credit outstanding
in the U.S.

Survey of Average Price Per Kilowatt Hour
For Residential Customers in 28 Cities For 12
Months Ending June 30 1983
Like the cost of just about ?
everything else,the price you're
paying for electricity has gone
up for the past few years. ]
But it could've been worse.
In fact, as you can see by
the chart,CP&L ranked less than
a penny over the lowest price
per kilowatt hour
What's more, in 3 out of 4 4
towns, you'd pay more.
? And, with your help, we'll
keep on conserving energy and
looking for more efficient ways
to operate so we can stay close ?
to the bottom of the list.
That way both of us will get
more out of our^g%o ?
energy dollars.
