Smoak has returned Fewer Elective Jobs In Hoke County (Special to The News-Journal) NEW YORK, Feb. 10 -How many elected officials are there in Hoke County, conducting local government operations? How many are there, by way of comparison, in other localities across the country? According to a special governmental study, the number of elected officials serving the local area is smaller than in most communities. It lists a total of 26 such officials, or approximately IS per 10,000 population, who hold elective office locally. This is less than in most parts of the United States, where the average number in electivepositions is 26 for every 10,000 people. For the Southern States, the figures show 16 such officials per 10,000 and, in the State of North Carolina, 10. The findings are detailed by the Department of Commerce in its new Census of Governments, the first it has conducted since 1962. All told, according to the survey, there are 508,720 officials who are elected throughout the United States to run local government operations. Some 5,220 of them are functioning in North Carolina communities. E. BAKER REPRESENTATIVE 875 - 2165 Memorial Hospital. Charlie Pendergiass, D. R. Huff Sr., Robert Perry, and Mrs. Maudell Lucas are at Moore Memorial Hospital. Miss Doris Moore, a missionary of the Congo, will be at Sliiloh Presbyterian Church Wednesday, February 19. Visitors are welcomed to heir Miss Moore speak. There will be a covered dish supper starting at 6:30. BIRTHDAY DINNER Mrs. D. L. Moss was honored at her home with a birthday dinner given by her daughter, Mrs. Lois Barnett. Guests were Mrs. Kelly Blake and son, Jan, Mrs. J. A. Almond, Mrs. R. L. Blake, and Mrs. Mable Chamberlain. Mrs. Moss was 78 years old. BIRTHDAY PARTY Chris Huff was honored with a birthday party at his home Saturday. He was S years old. Guests were Pamela and Daphne McBrydc, Don and Becky Thomas, Brandon and Tracy Galloway, Kim and Mike and Rusty Huff and Amy Schugard. Refreshments were served. Miss Daphne McBrydc, Miss Linda Gaylc Griffen, and Wong Lee attended a birthday parly at Patrick Smyth's home in Raeford Tuesday. The totals are much higher in the North Central States than in other sections of the country. Although they have a population equal to only 28 percent of the national, tlr;y have 48 percent of the elected officials on their payrolls. The situation is quite different in the South, which contains 31 percent of the population but operates with only 19 percent of the country's elected officials. One reason given for this small number is the fact that school districts in the South are organized in terms of larger areas than elsewhere and are generally administered by boards that are appointed rather than elected. Of the 26 persons who are holding down elective office in Hoke County, there are 17 serving the county itself, 6 who are with local municipalities and 3 with special districts.

Three straight bad-weather years and some changes in the cotton program have to be weighed in the decision. The 1969 progiam features these important elements, as described by Jim Allgood, extension farm management economist at North Carolina State University: -There will be no diversion payments -The present loan t rate is maintained - The price support payment is increased. "Farmers have a wider choice on the amount of cotton they can produce in 1969," Allgood pointed out. "It's anyone's guess just what size crop we will have. The important thing for the farmer is that he evaluate all alternatives before planting time." Allotments will be the same as last year and so will the skip-row provisions. The skip-row rules allow farmers to count only the land planted to cotton in the allotcd acres. The price support payment will be 14.73 cents per pound, an increase of 2.49 cents over 1968. Allgood cited this example in discussing what the price support payment can mean to the average commercial grower: If the farmer has a projected yield of 400 pounds per acre -projected yield is what the payments are based on - the payment he receives for planting his domestic allotment Shine i-Pertit.ror Dtt -Several Barren Several Ban Hay ana F-oaaer Several Piecet ol t-toria-Df 4wft Equipment 1 Tnttr Plow 1 Sp e-Tootft Harrow add 2000 Fcriidier Bagt Stvfa Toeuot aii K.nai Several Tobacco ana Cotton Stiff!

If a farmer plants all of his farm allotment, on the average, he would receive about $38 per acre from price support payments. Price support payments are made only on the domestic allotment. Allgood pointed out that some farmers have been planting their domestic allotment and growing soybeans on the other 35 percent of the land formally used to grow cotton. The economist cited another example: If a farmer can produce 25 bushels of soybeans and sell them for $2.25 per bushel, the How? By being gentle. By softly tumbling your clothes as they dry in elec trically warmed air. Perfect drying. No fading. No dust. No birds. Permanent press clothes are dried looking almost new shape and creases restored ready-to-wear. Little or no ironing is needed. You'll save countless hours, work and money when you let an electric dry HEART net income per acre would be about $3 1 when figured on the basis of a $25 per acre cost of production. Compare this return to planting the total cotton allotment: With a yield of 400 pounds per acre selling for 22 cents per pound, the return would be $88 per acre. Add to this the $38 support payment received on the domestic portion of the allotment and total per acre gross income totals $126. If the cost of producing an acre of cotton is $90, the return from growing all the farm cotton allotment would be $36 per acre with income from soybeans $31. Farm Items By W. S. YOUNQ ft T. (. BAKER County Agricultural Agtnti The Soil Testing Department has recently prepared a record sheet, for general distribution to farmers, to keep test results, fertilizer applied and general information about planting. It is designed to keep this record over a number of years. It also has a place for insecticides and pesticides and also any trace element deficiencies. Yield per acre and price per pound or bushel can be recorded for future use. This simple sheet uf paper placed in a notebook can give you information for several years if it is filled out properly. These are available at the County Agent's office. Hoke County tobacco farmers should make every effort to rotate their acreace this year. In 1968 about 75 was planted on rotated fields, while 90 in 1967 was planted on rotated fields. This reduction in t lie use of crop rotation, without question, contributed to the increased loss to tobacco diseases this past season. There was an increase in nematode damage, a sizable increase in percent loss J. H. Austin VN I INSURANCE (V ) j: !; SINCE 1950 f j; !; ""N AUTO, FIRE, LIFE VcV (rS) CASUALTY &Z j; j. H.

Carolina Power & Light Company to mosaic, and Ioiki to Black Shank almost doubled. Part of the trouble items form the lease and transfer program as the larger farmers are moving tobacco for convenience in liandling rather than planning a rotation program. We must practice rotation as this is the only sure method known to control diseases. Our income was low in 1968, therefore, you can't take the chance of putting tobacco behind tobacco. Some additional information is available this year on a complete chemical weed control program for corn. Fanners have a larger variety of chemicals to combat all types of problems. Atraine or AAtrex, the new name, 2-4D, Ramrod, Lorox and a new chemical called Sutan are available. This last one will control Nut sedge and other grassy and broadleaf weeds. Most of these materials can be used in combination with nitrogen solutions used as a sidedressing material. If you plant corn, you must control t he grass and weeds.
