‘Control your sugar intake'
has been preached by
dietitians and nutritionists for
years. Why don’t more
people follow ifr
“People look at a dietary rule
like this one and say to
themselves, ’I can’t do this.
How could I never eat any more
sugar ever again?’
“They probably couldn’t.
The rule says ‘control,’ not
‘eliminate.’ A reasonably
healthy person may eat more
sugar. It only becomes a
problem when you eat so much
that you become overweight,
your teeth decay and you
become malnourished be
cause it is crowding out other
nutritional foods,” says Sarah
Hinton, extension nutrition
specialist. North Carolina
State University.

Tax Credit For Farmers
Legislation to aid farmers in soil conservation practices was
introduced last week by Representative John Gillam, D-Bertie,
and ratified by the North Carolina General Assembly.
“This legislation provides an economic incentive to farmers to
practice conservation tillage to reduce soil erosion,’’ Gillam told
fellow legislators. “Soil erosion has become a major problem in
North Carolina. The problem has become so severe that it is
becoming a handicap to the productivity of farms in this state.
This legislation can turn the problem around by encouraging
farmers to utilize good soil conservation techniques."
Gillam’s bill provides an income tax credit of up to $2,500 for
the purchase of conservation tillage equipment. “Such a credit
ovecomes the prohibitive cost of this equipment. Better kinds of
conservation tillage equipment can cost up to $10,000,” said
Gillam.
Gillam said effective use of conservation tillage practices can
bring dividends in productivity while reducing dramatic losses of
soil. The practice also provides for more effective use of
agricultural chemicals because runoff levels are dramatically
reduced.
Gillam garnered widespread support for the introduction of the
legislation. The bill received the support of the N.C. Farm
Bureau, the N.C. Grange Association, N.C. Association of Soil
and Water Conservation Districts, the N.C. Department of
Natural Resources and Community Development, and other
agricultural groups.
“This legislation will be a major step towards solving the
erosion problem in North Carolina,” said Gillam. “Sediment from
soil erosion has been responsible for clogging lakes and streams
in this state. The sediments often carry agricultural chemicals,
such as pesticides, that have a negative impact on water quality.”
Gillam said soil erosion and runoff of surface water have
contributed to water quality problems in the Chowan and Neuse
rivers. “If the problem continues, we’re likely to see an adverse
impact of other bodies of water in this state. The time to eradicate
the problem in NOW, before too much damage is dont
