Richardson Robeson County Extension Chairman Many times, the origin of extremely innovative farm equipment is not in the minds of the agricultural engineers who are employed by uni versities and by farm equip ment manufacturers, but from farmers themselves. The air planter that has been manu factured and marketed by International Harvester for several years is one example of an idea being developed by a farmer and then subse quently being picked up by a major manufacturer and the piece of equipment then be coming a popular item on farms practically everywhere. During the past two years Maxie Maynor and Mack Brayboy in the Rennert area have been working on a novel idea for a rolling subsoiler. Mack has encountered and overcome several obstacles, and from this vantage point, it appears that their idea could be very worthwhile if the proper type of material can be obtained to make the unit more durable. Perhaps one of the most creative ideas that I have ever heard came from Charles Pate as we were discussing the extreme variabilities in soil types in this area and the many changes in soil type that is encountered even in indi vidual fields. Charles sug gested that a planter that could be easily adjusted on the go from the tractor operator's platform to com pensate for changing soil types to manipulate plant population levels would be a tremendous positive step for ward. With that thought expressed, we both agreed that since tractors and com bines have already been de veloped to allow for variable speeds, and especially in combines to adjust cylinder speeds and reel speeds to respond to changing crop conditions on the go. that it will probably only be a matter of time before this same type of technology could be inte grated into planting units which would allow for nonstop planter adjustments. These adjustments could apply to both plant population changes and adjustments in fertilizer application rates to coincide with the specific type of soil that the planter happens to be traveling over at a given moment. He further suggested that with the tremendous advan ces that are underway in computer technology, that in the not to distant future, he felt that Derhans a mechanism could be developed whereby infrared photographs could be taken of a farm and this information could subse quently be fed into a com puter along with the other variables relating to the chan ging soil conditions of a given field. Then, programming could be developed for indi vidual fields whereby a com puter-equipped planter unit would utilize this program med information to make the necessary continuous adjust ments in plant population to exactly manage the most optimum production and management requirements for that specific place in that specific field. While this type of thinking may sound farfetched, it nevertheless underscores some of the brilliant ideas that farmers themselves can have and impart to others whereby equipment and overall man agement practices can be fine tuned to such a degree as to allow for maximum efficiency and production control on a given farm. Naturally, wea ther and other factors always have their impact, but as Charles indicated, when the farmer has done everything under his control and has utilized every ounce of tech nology available in those management manipulations, then little is left to chance other than those factors which are impossible for man to control.

Schultz, Jr. D.C. DOCTOR OF CHIROPRACTIC I Whiplash neck injuries are among the nation's fast est growing health pro blems. Why? The ever-increasing num ber of automobiles rolling onto our congested streets and highways, the mass mi gration to the suburbs, and , increased speeds of our freeway systems, power brakes, and more powerful engines all contribute to the growing frequency of the type of accident that can re sult in whiplash neck injur ies. But in one sense, a whip lash can be a blessing in disguise. A whiplash is by its very nature, a problem for the Doctor of Chiropractic. He understands the whiplash injury arid is equipped to cope with it. Consequently he sees many new faces because of his reputation in dealing With the whiplash. In the Chiropractic exam ination and care of acciden tally injured persons we of ten discover that whiplash is but one of their problems. Of course, the whiplash is in itself o most serious in jury that can cause arthrit is, migraine headaches, ex treme nervousness, or many other problems. This, of course, means that the whiplash injury cannot be left untreated. It will only be that 'blessing in disguise' if the person who sustains the whiplash comes in for a thorough examination and is treated effectively. If a preliminary exam re-? veals the presence of pres sure on the nerves in the upper part of the spine and the possible displacement of vertebrae we know that a condition will normally respond to the proper ef fective treatment. Every accident victim should have a thorough Chiropractic examination. It is my firm belief that a person who has had an ac cident owes it to himself and his family to have an examination to find out for sure. Since every health problem has a cause, that cause must be found before a person will get well. For Further Informdtion Call or Contact Schultz Chiropractic Center 4902 FayetteYiUe Rd., Lumberton.
