New Deepest Deep Found In Pacific WASHINGTON ? At. the end of an echo more than seven miles down, British sea surveyors have found a new deepest deep for all the world's oceans. H.M.S. "Cook," exploring a vast undersea canyon east ol the Philippines with echo sounding equipment, hit hot tcm at 37,782 feet, the Brit ish Admiralty has confirmed to the National Geographic Society The discovery was made on November 6, 1962. The "Cook Depth" is more than 1.500 feet deeper than the previous record depth re ported in 1959 by the Soviet research ship "Vityaz" in the Pacific Ocean's Mariana Trench. Twenty Times Grand Canyon The Cook Depth lies in the Philippine Trench, one of sev eral steep-walled furrows that gash the Pacific sea floor. The Philippine Trench is 20 times bigger than the Grand Canyon. ? The lowest part of the narrow V bottom lies more than a mile deeper than Mount Everest is high. A penny tossed from a ship would fall for several hours before reaching bottom Here is a world of total darkness, near-freezing tem peratures, and pressures as high as 900 tons per square foot. A fraction of that pressure would be enough to crush a block of wood to half size. Incredible as it may seem, however, life not only exists ( but thrives at the lowest depths. Though probably barren of; plant life which requires | light .canyon floors support) bacteria, sea anemones, mol-) lusks, and minute crustac-J eans. Scientist believe giant, I deep-sea squid may also livej there, sustaining themselves on food that floats down. Jasques Piccard, of the famous Swiss family of scien tists, wrote in the August, 1960, National Geographic that he observed a shrimp and foot-long solelike fish , scuttling along at a depth of 133,800 feet. His dive of al ; most seven miles in the Mar . iana Trench off Guam is the deepest descent by man to date. The Pacific Ocean has > most, oL the world's deepest canyonsS the Philippine and Mariana Trenches; Japan : Trench, 34,000 feet; Kerma dec-Tonga Trench north of New Zealand. 35,500 feet; and the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench, 34,000 feet. The Java Trench is in the Indian Ocean, .the Puerto Rico and South Sand wich Trenches in the Atlan tic Ocean. Probed Since War II Since World War II, many previously unknown deep-sea bottoms have been charted by the United States Navy, the Coast and Geodetic Survey, the Woods Hole Oceonograph ic Institution, the Scripps In stitution of Oceonography, and the National Geographic J Society. All appear on maps! produced by the Society. The new Cook Deep is joining them. Still, despite stepped-up studies in oceanography, man knows less about many re gions of the ocean than he does about the moon's sur face. Oceonographers compare their knowledge of the sea to what might be known about, say New Jersey, if one low ered a dredge from the clouds and snared a field mouse, some beetles, a cater pillar, a stone, and some grass. ASCS Offices Seek To Improve Service Each County farm program f: office in North Carolina is | being asked "what steps need to be taken to improve ser vice to farmers and program administration?" A. P. Has sell, Jr., Executive Director for the Agricultural Stabiliza tion and Conservation State Committee, said this week. "County committeemen, county office managers, and farmer fieldmen are to eval uate the work and service in each ASCS office," Hassell said. "The benefits are expected to be in the form of better, faster service for farmers," Hassell continued, "and to make sure that the public | business is kept in public view." Training programs for com mitteemen and employees in 1963 will be based largely on needs identified in this self study of county ASCS offices. The ASC Service has begun an intensive program to im prove service and man.:.?je ment efficiency. All em ployees have been asked for their suggestions on how to better do specific jobs. In accord with recommend ations of the citizens commit tee which has just completed a study of the farmer com mittee system, Hassell said, a major effort will be made in 1963 to encourage more farm ers to take part in the elec ion of ASC committeemen. Secretary of Agriculture 3rville L. Freeman has an lounced that the farmer com mittee system will continue :o be the farm program field force and that it will be strengthened as recommended }y the citizens committee. Corn made up 31 per cent af the total North Carolina :rops harvested in 1961. FOR SALE For A Complete Line Of NEW And USED TRUCKS See or Call FRED B. LYNCH Sales Mgr. M. E.
