Local farmers must endure drought, absorb losses By KATHY HART Staff Vt riter The Orange County farmer isn't smiling these days. Drought conditions have left his scorched crops dying in the fields, and compensation for his losses may be tough to get. Statewide, farmers have suffered more than $.100 million in crop losses due to the summer's hot. dry weather. Orange County farmers have lost almost $1.4 million in tobacco alone, said Ebert Pierce. Orange County Agricultural Extension Service chairperson. Last year's tobacco crop brought farmers almost $7 million. This year's crop is expected to yield 25 per cent fewer pounds than last year's, and its lower quality leaf w ill result in prices 10 to 15 per cent lower per pound than last year's. The corn yield is expected to be about 40 per cent less than last year, and farmers will lose about $1.5 million. Hay and pasture damages are expected to run in the DTH CLASSIFIEDS REACH 20,000 BUYERS.

Before the rain. 87 per cent of North Carolina's counties showed a less than adequate moisture supply. After the rain only 29 per cent showed a deficiency. As of July 28, 56 counties were approved as drought-disaster states, qualifying them for federal aid to recoup some of their losses. Three per cent interest loans are available for farmers through the Farmer'sHome Administration (FH A), but according to the FHA's Randy Simmons, the farmer must have lost 20 per cent on his basic enterprise, be unable to receive credit elsewhere and plan on farming the nest year. The size of the loan is unlimited if these qualifications are met. Donald V. Roberts of the Agriculture Stabili7aiion and Conservation Service said his agency is also providing help for farmers.

Money back days will be Sept. 1, 2 and Astronomer criticizes use of astrology CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (UP1) - The popularity of astrology "a borderline science" is proof that serious scientists have failed to communicate the importance of their own work, according to astronomer Carl Sagan. Sagan says when people buy used cars they are skeptical and careful. "But when it comes to belief in borderline science, for some reason this skepticism goes away." The Cornell professor and well-known space exploration expert spoke recently at the 5th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sagan said astrologers believe the position of a particular planet at the time of an infant's birth affects the child's future. "Well, at the moment of birth gravitational influence of obstetrician is greater than that of Mars. Yet not one is predicting our future on the basis of where the obstetrician was standing," he said. He criticized the public's infatuation wuth unidentified flying objects and possible visitors from outer space. "The popularity.. .represents a disastrous failure of both the media and science to communicate the grandeur of science." For example, he said man's ventures to the moon and the exploration for microbial life on Mars have "turned out to be lessexciting" for most people. Sagan urged "tough skepticism...Sometimes nature is more intricate than we guess, and we tend to bamboozle ourselves." Advertising in the Daily Tar Heel, it's a sure thing.
