1970 FEED GRAIN PRICE
-SUPPORT PROVISIONS -
North Carolina farmers who
participate in the feed grain
program have assurance tliat
the 1970 price - support loan
levels for corn, grain sorghum,
and barley will be essentially
the same as in 1969. Loan
levels for oats and rye also will
be about the same.
While there could be some
small change because of
transportation cost factors, for
production planning purposes
farmers can count on our State
loan rates being about like last
year's: Com, SI.23 per bushel:
grain sorghum, SI.67 per
hundredweight; barley, 89
cents per bushel; oats. 74 cents
per bushel; and rye. SI.18 per
bushel. The precise 1970 loan
levels for North Carolina w^l
not be known for sometime.
The 1970 feed grain national
average loan levels have been
set at: Corn. SI.08 for No. 2
(SI.05 for average quality) per
bushel; grain sorghum, SI.61
per hundredweight; barley, 83
cents per bushel; oats, 63 cents
per bushel; rye, SI.02 per
bushel.
Price - support payment
rates for program participants
will be exactly the same as in
1969: 30 cents per bushel for
corn; 29.68 cents per bushel
(53 cents per hundredweight)
for grain sorghum; 20 cents per
bushel for barley. A farm's
total price ? support payment is
arrived at by multiplying the
per bushel price - support
payment times the farm's
projected yield times the
mialler of the planted feed
grain acreage or 50 percent ot
the farm's feed grain base.
For producers of corn, grain
sorghum, and barley, price ?
support loans and payments
are contingent upon voluntary
participation in the feed grain
program and compliance with
its provisions. Complete details
are available to County ASCS
Offices^ Program sign ? up will
be February 2 through March
20.

Hoke Marriage
Rate To Spurt
(Special to The News-Journal)
M W YORK . J,11 12- I lie
sound ot' wedding hells will be
lieard mote otten in lloke
County from now on. More
young couples will be matching
to the altar (Ins yeai and next
than in some time.
This is evident tiom the
sharp increase in the number of
young people who will be in
the age bracket in which most
marriages take place. These
potential brides and grooms ate
the product ot the post-- war
years of the '40s. when the
birth rate hit an all-time high.
It appeals, based upon local
population figures and
statewide experience that the
marriage rate in lloke County
will reach '>.4 per I ,(X)0
lesidents this \e.u.
By wax of comparison,
according to figures from the
Department of Commerce and
the Department ot Health,
education and Welfare, the
iate was 7 7 marriages per
1 .tMKI in l?h>4 ?
Throughout lite nation, an
uveiage ot l()o wcd.lmes pci
1.000 is expected tills seat.
Not since the tloops came
home. 111 104t?. has the country
experienced a 111.11 nagc t>oom
such as occur ted that year
when neailx 2. TOO .000
weddings look place. From
then on there was a steady
decline to a bottom^ of
I .500,000 in the late '50s "V
Now, however, the curve is
moving upward again, with
some 2.000,000 weddings in
I'XxS. a total of 2,140.000 in
IW) and about 2.200.000
expected this year.
I summation of the liguies
shows that the number of
marriages in any community is
directly proportional to the
number of people in the
principal marrying ages - 20 to
24.
In that age biacket in Hoke
County, at the present time,
there are uppioxiinately 2,l(>0.
well above the 1964 total of
1.500.
With the increase in the
numbei ot weddings, there will
follow, in due time, a rise in
the birth rate, which has been
at a low level for some time.
lor the local business man.
the picture is a rosy one. Faclt
marriage represents thousands
ot dollars ot spending - lor
jewelry, clothing, furniture,
household necessities,
appliances, insurance and.
eventually , baby carriages. The
initial outlay, in setting up a
home, is estimated at mote
than So.00(1 per couple, on
average.
