County Agricultural Agents
The Land Utilization Survey is the
most comprehensive annual survey of
its kind conducted in North Carolina.
Information collected is vital to all
segments of agriculture, agri-business,
related industries and land use
planners. The survey is conducted in
January each year. All landowners of
tracts of ten or more acres are urged
to cooperate by accurately reporting
their I 175 land-use crop acreage and
livestock inventories. Landowners can
gel a copy, from the county agents
office, to list the various crops and
livestock grown before going to the
township listers. This will help to
speed up the process and will give
you a chance to gel your acreage
down correctly.
This is the season that farmers
begin to kill hogs for their own use.
Some tips will be helpful in saving all
of the meat if you don't put it under
refrigeration. First, chill the carcass
properly right after killing the hog.
Cut the carcass after it is chilled or
afler all the heat is out of the body.
Put in cure when the meat is cut. Use
the right amount of curing mix and
follow a curing schedule. Cure during
November, December and January
and avoid high temperalure while
curing. Let the salt equalize before
smoking. Keep temperature below
00 degrees F. while smoking. Do not
put hams in airtight bags. Age for
about six months and protect your
meal front insects and rodents during
litis time. Exact details can be
obtained from a bulletin entitled
"Curing Hants Country Style" at the
County's Agents' office.

F O. Clark, District Conservationist
Paul A. Vander Myde. Depuly
Assistant of Agriculture for
Conservation. Research and
Education, has voiced genuine
concern over "dredge and fill"
regulations of the Army Corps of
Engineers because of possible effects
on farmland.
Commenting on Section 104 of
the Federal Water Pollution Control
Act. he said that "a bad decision can
cost farmers dearly ...they have a
$500 billion investment to
protect...and it can slash deeply into
food output."
Speaking before the South
Carolina Association of Conservation
Districts at its Columbia meeting,
Vander Myde said that "interim
rules" laid down by the Army Corps
of Engineers is an example of the
lack of understanding of modern
farming by "urban power holders."
"It's not that non-farm groups are
unsympathetic to farmers. Survey
after survey indicates that ranchers
and farmers have an excellent image.
They are looked upon as fine,
honest, hard-working-people that
most urbanities would like to live
next door to. But...these urbans
power-holders cannot begin to
understand the short term and
long-term implications of their
decisions upon today's vastly
complex and costly farm business
operations."
The agricultural official
continued: "As Assistant Secretary
Long said the other day. we believe
they COULD force ranchers and
farmers to apply to the military for a
permit every time they: build a
pond, improve a stream bank,
construct a sod waterway, build a
diversion ditch, construct a terrace
outlet, or carry out any other water
management practice that involves
moving dirt."
He said: "This amounts to a paper
pusher's paradise, despite the fact
that these practices, mostly designed
by Soil Conservation Service
professionals are the results of
research and are aimed at
accomplishing the same goals the
Corps and EPA seek. "The Corps
says that it has no such
intentions-ihat normal farming
activities are excluded. But the
language of the Act is such that any
district engineer of the Corps
COULD require permits for many of
these practices and others. We must
persuade the Corps to change this
regulatory language to specifically
exclude from permit regulation of all
these operations." t
The official pointed out that the
stated objective of Public Law
?>2-500, the "Clean Water Act." is to
"restore and maintain the chemical,
physical and biological integrity of
the nation's waters. This is an
objective that has the support of
USDA and all the rest of us."
While final regulations have not
yet been issued, and while the
interim final regulations will have less
adverse impact on agricultural and
the rural sector than the May 6,
1975. regulations, they continue to
be complex and ambiguous, the
agricultural spokesman said.
He urged the Corps of Engineers
and EPA to modify and clarify the
final regulations. "The installation of
soil and water conservation practices
on land areas included an 'navigable
waters,' may require a permit,' he
continued. "This is particularly
distressing because, conservation
measures contribute to water quality
improvement through the control of
sediment movement."

Library i\eivs
New Cards Jan. 2
In the process of hurry, hurry;
trying to move our operation
forward, we have taken a few
minutes a day to enjoy the nice
goodies some of you have brought
for our staff. It was very thoughtful
and time consuming this busy time
of the year. Thank you.
Mrs. Cameron spent Wed.. Dec. 17
in Rockingham at a meeting on
Regional procedure. There will be
continued meetings on this project
for the next several weeks.
MAKE PLANS NOW to re-register
at the library, starting Jan. 2. We ask
all our patrons to bear with us with
this change to a charge plate type of
registration - (There will be no
charge), just this type of library card
which you will HAVE TO HAVE
with you to check out a book. Each
person will use the number on his or
her card to check out books instead
of your name. It may be hard to
adjust to this system, so we ask you
to start telling yourself even before
you register, "I MUST not lose my
library card and I MUST be sure to
have it with me to check out a
book." Also beginning Jan 2 books
will be issued for only two weeks at a
time. You may renew your books
only if there is no waiting list. All
books, new or old, will be issued for
the same time limit. Fines on all
overdue books will be two cents (2 c)
a day.
The library story hours will
resume Jan 6 at the regular time.
