Joblessness Total unemployment in the county was put at 10.2 per cent, a decline from 11.1 per cent, in the latest report released by the Employment Security Commission. The report for September 1975 estimates 800 unemployed persons, which represents 10.2 per cent of the civilian labor force. From September 1974 to September this year total unemployment decreased by 1.2 per cent, however, the rate of unemployment increased by 0.4 from the year - ago rate of 9.8 per cent. Total employment of the Raeford labor area was estimated to be 7.060. a decrease of 570 from July. Agricultural employment account ed for most of the decrease, at 390 persons. Manufacturing employment de clined 150 from July 1975 and 510 from September 1974. Textiles suffered the greatest loss. 470 workers from the year ago total. According to the report's outlook summary, no major drop in unemployment is expected in the next six months. "Total employment is expected to remain about the same over the next six months in the Raeford labor area. A slight increase is expected in the trade industry during the next three months as seasonal hiring may be increased for Christmas. Based on historical trends, a decrease in agricultural employment should occur over the next three months, followed by a slight increase during the first three months of 1976. Very little change is expected in the unemployment picture in Hoke County over the next several months. A slight decline may occur by December, but by mid-March, the rate of unemployment will probably be at about the current level."

SPACE NEEDLE- This peculiar-looking structure is not a revolving restaurant that toppled off the space needle at the World's Fair, but only part of the water treatment complex under construction at the Dickson St. site. Farm Items W. S. Young & Freddie O'Neal County Agricultural Agents A study has been made to determine what factors affect the oil and protein content of soybeans grown in North Carolina. The study came from 1100 observations taken from 33 experimental plots. It was found that soybean varieties, soil characteristics and culural practices do have an effect on the oil and protein content of soybeans. Some varieties with near average protein and 0.1 content, such as Lee and Davis, w ill produce a greater yield per acre than will the high oil or high protein varieties. It was found that liming acid soils according to soil test increased both protein levels and yields. Two tons of lime per acre increased protein content by five per cent, decreased oil content by 3.5 per cent and increased yields by seven bushels. Nitrogen and potash applications increase protein content wthout significantly affecting either oil content or yields. .The greatest return to nitrogen occurs at 40 lbs of N. per acre, and the greatest return of protein to potash occurs at 120 lbs. per acre. Treating seed with molybdenum will increase protein but reduce oil content of beans. Delaying planting after mid-May decreases protein content by .016 per cent per day and increases oil content by .008 per cent per day. You can be assured that the year is beginning to close when the farmer's tax guides begin to arrive. They have come,this week to the extension office and are available for distribution. Farmers still have some time left to study the information and do some things that might save tax money for this year. Business management can sometimes make or break a farmer and tax information is an im portant part of business. The 28th Annual Agricultural Chemicals School will be held at the Royal Villa Motor Inn in Raleigh on Jan. 12 an 13. 1976. The purpose of the school is to review research data, recommendations and problems in the fields of pesticides and application equipment. This is also the time that you can purchase a copy of the N. C. Agricultural Chemicals Manual. It is suggested that you make your reservations early. Adult Class Travels To Morehead Planetarium Adults of Ilokc County returning to high school in pursuit of their high school diploma reach out for total (educational) involvement, as was demonstrated by the basic science class of the Hoke County High School Diploma Program, sponsored jointly by Sandhills Community College and Hoke County Board of Education. To culminate their study of the Universe, the class took a field trip to the Morehead Planetarium in Chapel HiU, North Carolina. The class used this opportunity to view several scientific exhibits, the solar room, an art gallery, and the class was particularly impressed with a very realistic show titled "Child of the Universe". While in an imaginary space ship they traveled back through time to observe the creation of the solar system, the formation of the planets and all the wonders of the universe, (not being spared any details from the space guide narrator). This learning experience provided* the class with a greater appreciation of both the universe and man's successes in unfolding the mystery of the universe. Members of this class are Peggy Bell, Deborah Jacobs, Pamela Jacobs, Jeanette Middleton, Mary Blue, Faye Thompson, Ola Rac Tucker and instructor Carrie Carter. Service Personnel Army Pvt.
