FOR
Mam Man Title Winner
W. A. McFarland of Dur
ham and 14 other top U. S.
farmers have been named to
receive Ford Motor Com
pany’s 1970 Ford Farm Effi
ciency Awards for outstand
ing agricultural accomplish
ment.
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.

Crop Insurance
WU Be Limited
Limitations on 1970 cotton
insurance liability were an
nounced today by Julian E.
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.”

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. The
telephone number is 338-3931.

They say all humans act or react in three different
ways. 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.
