REDUCE FEED COSTS UTILIZE CROP RESIDUES Cattle prices certainly have not increased lately, but feed costs still amount to about 70 percent of the total cost of beef production. As a result, beef producers are on the lookout for feeds that are readily available, economical, and a source of required . nutrients. According to Jill Payne, assistant agricultural Exten sion agent, producers need to take a second look at the corn stubble they are about to disc under. It is readily available and economical-as well. Crop residues such as corn, soy bean stubbie, and milo stover are a good source of nutrients when supplemented with ?nerev and/or protein. The methods of harvesting these residues, which the agent feels are feasible here in Robeson County, include: (1) Grazing-this is the least costly method, but only IS to 30 percent of the available residue is harvested. (2) Har vesting as a dry material or stover-this includes mostly stalks and leaves left in the field after the grain is com bined and shows a lot of potential in the county. Payne aays steer* and heifers marketed in the spring traditionally bring higher prices than those sold in the fall. By utilizing crop residues for wintering calves, produc ers can add pounds at a low cost and hopefully sell at a higher price. Crop residues can also be utilized by cows during early-to-mid-gestation when their nutrient require ments are a minimum. Most crop residues do require some supplementat ion of energy and/or protein. However, the amount can be limited. Treating residues with ammonia can drama tically increase the amoont o4 crude protein and improve digestibility by as much as 10 percent. The cost of applying ammonia to large bales of crop residues and covering with plastic only amounts to about $10 to $15 per ton. With the economic situation being what it is, cattle pro ducers are looking for ways to produce. quality beef as cheaply fes possible. 'Crop residues can play a large part in reducing production costs. For more information about utilizing crop residues contact the Robeson County Exten sion Office at 738-8111. PJHS OBSERVES INDIAN HERITAGE WEEK The students, faculty, ad ministration, and staff at Pembroke Junior High School participated in various activi ties in observation of Indian Heritage Week. Students brought displays to show and discuss, drew posters, and told Indian legends that they had heard. Many teachers lectured about Indian cul tures, especially thbse in North Carolina. Ms. Mary Mason's history class made beads, corn mats, and other Indian crafts and watched filmstrip^on Indian folkways. Ms. Margaret Moore's Eng lish class read "Broken Ar row." a true story about the life of Dr. Carlos Montezuma and his struggle to convince Indians to fight for recogni tion. acceptance, and then right to equality. Mrs. Sally Bullard invited other classes to join her students to watch the movie "North Carolina ? Indians" which focused on the different tribes _in our State. Ms. Joan Lowry. the librarian, displayed Indian sculptures and posters as well as different types of books written by or about Indians. Many teachers had bulletin boards showing famous In dians, and others talked about television programs, newspa pers, and magazines that focused on Indians and then influence. CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES NOT PERFECT v-HA PEL HILL--A* anyone who has ever seen one from ' the inside knows. Jails are smelly, depressing, frequent ly overcrowded and some times dangerous places that most people wouldn't even want to vist, let alone live in. But for all their flaws, jails now being - used in North Carolina are vastly superior to the places where prisoners were housed in years gone by. That's the word from Michael R. Smith, associate professor at the Institute of Government at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, who has completed a study of the history of state jails. "Inmates" complaints come so often that they sound like the refrain to a popular iong. Smith wrote in a recent ssue of Jail Law Bulletin, an nstitute publication. "Some of them are valid, tlthough many are frivolous u?d without merit," he said. 'When we look back to the ihameful condition of North Carolina's early jails, we see hat inmates today have com laratively little reason to omplain." Merciless and prompt re ribution, not imprisonment, vas the basic impulse guiding he state's criminal law dur ng Colonial times, Smith vrote. As late as 1837, some 10 crimes carried the death >enalty, and it wasn't until ifter the Civil War that the ist was reduced to four. "At one time, forgery, torse stealing, bigamy, odomy and larceny were lunishable by death," he aid. "Early North Carolin ans evidently believed that liminating criminals was the urest way to eliminate rime." Corporal punishment was he rule for lesser offenses ind ranged from public ridi ule to physical torture and nutilation. "A conviction for per jury, or example, required that the >ffender shall, instead of the >ublic whipping, have his ight ear cut off and severed :ntirely from his head, and tailed to the pillory by the heriff, there to remain until undown," Smith wrote. At their own discretion, >rivate citizens could further ?unish those placed in the tocks by stoning them, umping garbage on them or pitting on them. The state's earliest jails loused debtors, children ocked up for minor infract ons, runaway slaves, harden :d criminals, the insane and. iccasionally, men and women ogether. Sometimes, Smith laid, inmates were "chained n a room amid human ixcrement without fire in the v inter or ventilation in su in ner." Arguing that "North Caro Una had the bloodiest code of laws of any state in the Union," Quaker and other reformers began urging as early as 1791 that state supervised imprisonment might be able to rehabilitate offenders. It wasn't until 1868, however, that a new constitution limited the death penalty to murder, arson, rape and burglary, abolished corporal punishment and shifted legal responsibility for corrections to the state. "The soaring crime rate that accompanied Recon- 1 struction greatly increased the pressure on county jails, and harsh economic condit ions prevented counties from building new jails," Smith said. As a result, the chain gang was born. "Traveling in movable camps to remain close to then work, the prisoners in most road crews were lodged in iron cages, which are mount ed on wheels and moved from one location to another as the roads of a county are work ed," Smith wrote, quoting from a 1928 UNC study. Life for the inmates, many of whom were forced to wear heavy ball and chain, could be brutal. "In Rockingham County, for example, 49 men were discovered in a prison wagon intended to hold 18," he said. "Prisoners food was frequep tly prepared under unsanitary conditions, sewage disposal was haphazard, water was often contaminated, and disease was widespread." Another county, it was said, spent 23 cents a day for each prisoner's subsistence and 56 cents a day to feed each mule. Eventually, 10 inmates were sent to road camps for each offender sent to Central Pri son, and most North Carolina counties either operated their own chain gangs or supplied prisoners to other counties. "Pressure increased grad ually to eliminate the crews as critics questioned their economic value and pointed out the extraortinarily high mortality rate among prison ers," Smith wrote. In 1957, the General As sembly transferred manage ment of state prisoners from the highway department to a separate prison department and, in 1959, ended the use of leg irons on road workers. Over the past several de cades, he said, the state has taken an increasingly active role in enforcing minimum health and safety standards in county jails. "North Carolina gradually has eliminated most of the horrible conditions that once were accepted as routine." Smith concluded, "but nearly everyone would agree that there is still plenty of room for improvement." OUR MEN IN I UNIFORMS ' ANTHONY R. DAVIS September 16 (FHTNC)-Navy Seaman Apprentice Anthony R.
