McFarland winner in the wheat category—received no tification of the award through a personal telegram from Henry Ford 11, chairman of the board, Ford Motor Company. He will be hon ored later this year at an awards banquet where he will receive his FFEA plaque. Winners of the nationally recognized awards are select ed by the staff of the Ford Almanac, edited by John Strohm and Cliff Ganschow. These internationally known farm writers, aided by other agricultural experts, base their selections on the abil ity of farmers' to combine un usual management skills with feed and machinery available to other farmers to accom plish exceptional records. McFarland is one of a new breed of wheat growers who are exploring exciting yield frontiers with "shorty” wheats. He has averaged over 100 bushels per acre on large fields, and his entire 600 to 700 acres have yielded THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, FERRUARY IX, 1979. nearly 90 bushels. When the high - yielding Blueboy variety was intro duced McFarland had an of ficial five-acre test plot that yielded 100.9 bushels per acre at a time when the state average was only 31 bushels. It was the highest wheat yield ever recorded east of the Rocky Mountains. Blueboy’s short - strawed characteristics allow farmers to apply much more fertiliz er without lodging. McFar land applies about 160 pounds of nitrogen, 70 of phosphor ous and 140 of potassium per acre. He has experimented with as much as 300 pounds of nitrogen, but finds 160 pounds is best for his land. Q w. a. McFarland ONE STOP INSURANCE SERVICE for ...

Mann, N. C. state director of the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation. “Because of heavy losses in the last few years,” Mann said, “we are limiting the amount of insurance we write on cotton crop investments for the 1970 crop year.” Federal crop insurance fieldmen will visit as many growers as possible. If the county limit has not been reached, applications for cot ton insurance will be accept ed only in FCIC offices until the limit is reached. At that time sales will be closed, Mann explained. In North Carolina, cotton crop damage has been caused by cold weather, drought and excessive rain during the past four years. North Carolina cottbn growers have received $2,358,931 in Federal Crop Insurance indemnities since 1966, as opposed to $818,775 paid in premiums during the same period. Nationally, more than SSO million was paid to cotton growers in the 1966 through 1969 period by the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation. Some S2O million was paid in by policyholders for cotton protection during the same period. The intent of Congress when Federal Crop Insur ance was created, Mann said, was for premiums to be suf ficient to pay indemnities and to provide an adequate reserve to pay indemnities in years of heavy loss. In the past 20 years, cotton indem nities have averaged half again as much as premiums. This means that for every dollar of premium taken in since 1948, Federal Crop In surance has paid out a dollar and a half. Current Federal Crop In surance policyholders will not be affected by the limita tion, Mann said, but 1969 policyholders who have can celled their policies for the 1970 crop year should rein state at once. “After we reach our liability limit, Mann warned, we will not be able to accept reinstatements from former policyholders.” Shirley MacLalne leads dancing musicians down Manhat tan’s famous Wall Street while she sings “I'm A Brass Band,” one of the 13 numbers from Universal’s lavish musical pro duction, “Sweet Charity,” photographed in Technicolor and Panavision.

Cost Os Medicare Benefits Increased The overall cost of living keeps going up, and hospital costs are no exceptions. Because of the tremendous increase in the cost of the average hospital stay, social security Medicare benefici aries will have an increase in their share of hospital costs. Beginning January 1, 1970, the social security bene ficiary will pay the first $52 of their hospital costs rather than $44 as in the past. In the event the bene ficiary stays more than 60 days, then his share of the cost will be sl3 per day for all days over 60 days np to 90 days. Before January 1, 1970, this was sll per day. This means the beneficiary who stays in the hospital 90 days will now pay $442 where before the increase, he would only have paid $374 for the same 90 days. For more information about this increase in hos pital payments or any other questions about Medicare call or write the social security office, 401 South Dyer Street, Elizabeth City, N. C.

We act as an adult, a child, or as a parent. The way we act is entirely up to us. These three courses are each important and necessary. But most import ant is that we act the right way at the right time. In other words, we need to be adults at times and not children. There are times when we should act like children—and we insist on playing the adult role. Think for a minute before you act. Choose the kind of person you are going to be, and there will be less reasons for remorse. OUR THOUGHT TO REMEMBER: Give us the wis dom to be what we should be, not what we would like to be.
