Page Seven Corn Feed Production Shorter Than Needs in North Carolina im 3 “Corn on the hoof” will bring about a healthy increase in North Carolina corn production in the next five years, believes a grain marketing expert at North Caro lina State college. “A lot of people have wondered about the one percent increase for corn forecast in the Extension Ser vice’s Five-Year Agricultural Op portunities Program,” says Everett Nichols, “But this prediction is for cash income from corn sales, and > VITA-VAR PAINTS at MITCHELL'S HARDWARE 315 Tryon Palace Driva ME 7-3100 EXPERT FENDER & BODY WORK WHEELS BALANCED FINEST PAINTING JOBS “Where Service Is Better” FLOYD'S FRONT END ALIGNMENT Floyd Paul, Jr. Highway 17 South 637-5040 doesn’t include sale of corn through livestock.” Nichols feels that North Carolina will remain a deficit area in corn feed production after five years, and perhaps longer, because of the expected 33 percent increase in livestock production in the state. Nichols believes there will be an increase in feed corn production of about 18V2 percent in the next five years. “There’ll be a lot more corn stored and used on the farm, reflecting the increase in live stock,” he explains. “This is figur ing on a 3.6 percent increase in acreage and a seven-bushel-per- acre yield increase.” North Carolina isn’t in the cash corn belt; but at the same time farm cash income from corn is considerable — nearly $44 million a year. The one percent increase would raise it to $44,369,448 a year in 1966. “Eastern North Carolina pro ducers supply about 75 percent of the feed corn needs of the Pied mont and mountain areas of the WOODROW MOORE'S Supplying Indoor Comfort With Heating and Air Conditioning Now located 318 Firet St. BEAMANrCARPENTER AGENCY AUTO LIABILITY INSURANCE Small Down Payment ME 7-2833 • WE TURN NO ONE DOWN •PAY BALANCE MONTHLY KINSTON • NO CLUBS REQUIRED HIGHWAY state during the October-Decem- ber harvest period,” says Nichols. “The main area our producers ship to out of the state is the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula near the east coasts of Maryland, Delaware and Virginia. About 25 percent of our corn goes there.” But he adds that North Carolina Is expected to ship out of the state less and less feed grain as its livestock production increases. “We’re now consuming about 84 million bushels of feed corn a year, and we’re still a deficit area by about 17 million bushels,” he notes. “By 1966, we may be con suming about 100 million bushels a year, through the conversion of corn into other products.

AT TRYON SUNDAY I William Holden, a young Ameri can priest in China, faces some formidable enemies from with out and within in Leo McCarey's electrifying drama, "Satan Never Sleeps," arriving Sunday at the Tryon Theater. New Styles in Tier Curtains Adaptable To Both Old and New Length of Windows Are you still using ruffled and tailored curtains in your home or have you shifted to the newer tier and cafe curtains? Mrs. Edith McGlamery, home de velopment specialist for the N. C. Agricultural Extension Service, says tier curtains came along with the shorted windows used in new house construction, but they’re adaptable and equally effective in older houses with big windows. There are short-shorts, to be hung inside the window frame in one or more tiers. Tier curtains are usually of sheer fabrics, ruffled at the bot tom. This ruffle may be single, double or triple. (Multiple ruffles of Dacron are no problem to keep looking fresh). Tier curtains are available in all plain fabrics but are most often made of a combination of fabrics such as polished cotton trim on Dacron. And new this season is the tailored tier curtain, hung on a rod with ruffles. Mrs. McGlamery says cafe cur tains are closely related to tier ^CLEANERS 223 CRAVEN Try Us First SWAIN'S ESSO SERVICE Broad & Hancock ME 7-6100 ’'The Best Friend Your Car Ever Had" curtains. “However,” she says, “they are more tailored in styl ing.” Cafe curtains which hang on a tubular rod by sliding metal rings or fabric loops attached at the top are usually made of opaque fabrics, in solids and prints. “Some styles are reversible for quick-change decorating without additional expense,” she adds. “The 30 to 45 inch cafes are hung singly or in tiers, depending on window height or effect desired.” Givo Your Favorite Furniture • New Lease on Life.
