WORLD'S CHAMPION PEANUT GROWER SAYS:
“MY LILLISTON ENABLES ME TO PICK
OVER 30,000 POUNDS OF PEANUTS A DAY"
Jg,
E. W. Evans, Como, N. C., produced history's highest
recorded acre-yield of 6,059 pounds of peanuts in 1969.
Here's what he says about the machine that helped
him do it:
"I like my Lilliston 1500 Peanut Combine better than
any mqchine I've ever seen. It's a high capacity com
bine which enables me to pick an average of over
30,000 pounds of peanuts a day. My Lilliston is a dean
picking combine, too, and gets all the nuts off the vines
—even in tough conditions. And it's the most trouble
free machine I've ever used.''

Agricultural Act Os 1971
Both the House of Repre
sentatives and the Senate
have passed the Agricultural
Act of 1971. Due to some
rather major differences in
the two bills, the Act has
now gone to the Conference
Committee. After the com
mittee works out these differ
ences, the Act will go back to
the House and Senate for final
action. The major commodi
ties included in the legisla
tion affecting North Carolina
axe cotton, feed grain, and
wheat. All farmers will be
notified of the provisions of
the 'Agricultural Act of 1971
as soon as final action is tak
en in Congress.
Japan, First Billion Dollar
Off-Shore Customer
j “North Carolina residents
are well aware that U. S.-
Japanese trade is extensive,”
not CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH C AROUNAOCTOBER 8, 1979.
H. O. Carter, State Executive
Director for the Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation
Service, commented recently.
“Almost everyone recogniz
es that Americans are im
portant customers for Japan
ese goods. I wonder how
many of us realize that the
Japanese are major customers
for American goods, especial
ly for American farm com
modities.
‘ln fact, Japan imports
more U. S. agricultural prod
ucts than any other country
in the world —a record sl.l
billion worth during the 1970
fiscal year,” Carter said.
He pointed out that feed
grains, soybeans, wheat, cot
ton, and tobacco are import
ant farm crops in North Caro
lina and that exports of these
farm products to Japan have
gone up dramatically in re
cent years.
More than six million tons
of feed grains were shipped
to Japan last fiscal year—just
about one-third of U. S. feed
grain exports. Soybean ex
ports to Japan had a 251
million dollar value, and
wheat exports $136 million.
Japan is our best cotton cus
tomer, taking one-fourth of its
cotton from the U. S., and
Japan bought SSO million
worth of tobacco from the
U. S. during the last fiscal
year.
The ASC Committee Chair
man reported that Secretary
of Agriculture Clifford M.
Hardin recently at a luncheon
sponsored by the National
Grain and Feed Association,
Washington, D. C., September
15, 1970, took note of the
American-Japanese trade story
calling it unprecedented.
Secretary Hardin also said:
“The Japanese economy has
paralleled that Nation’s
growth in trade. In the years
between 1960 and 1965, Jap
anese shipments in world
trade more than doubled. By

1969, they had almost doubled
again, reaching sl6 billion.
Shipments to the United
States increased in those nine
years by more than four times
54.9 billion . . .
"The Japanese householder’s
disposable income has more
than tripled since 1960. His
demand for meat, milk, and
eggs —a good ‘horseback’
measure of consumer prosper
ity has increased by more
than four times in 15 years.
“He is diversifying his eat
ing habits as his income goes
up. For example, per person
consumption of wheat flour in
his traditionally rice-eating
society has increased by 30
per cent in a decade and a
half.
‘Ten years ago, Japan’s ag
ricultural imports from the
U. S. were $440 million. In
the fiscal year just past, they
were more than twice as great
—nearly sl.l billion . . .
“But the agricultural ex
ports are only one aspect of
a beneficial trading relation
ship that can be summarized
very simply: in terms of total
exports, the United States is
Japan’s best customer, and
Japan is the United States’
best off-share customer.
“As you might expect, two
thirds of U. S. shipments to
Japan last year were raw ma
terials, mineral fuels, and
foodstuffs, while 90 per cent
of Japan’s shipments to the
U. S. were manufactured
goods.
“This is the basis of bene
ficial world trade an ex
change of goods based primar
ily on production efficiency.
“It is this principle that led
Japan to look to efficient pro
ducers on the broad farmlands
for the feed grains needed to
satisfy its people’s rising de
mand for livestock products.
“As a result, imported feed
grains have triggered a rapid
expansion of Japanese live-
