BI.OODMOBlLt- Burlington Industries was host for Thursday's visit of the Red Cross Bbodmobite which resulted in
85 pints, lower than hoped for.
Bloodmobile Yields 85
Only eighty five pints of blood
were collected at the quarterly visit
of the Red Cross Bloodmobile here
Thursday, a disappointment to
Bloodmobile organizers.
"We had 13 rejects. Most of the
donors were Burlington workers."
blood program chairman Betty
Barnhart said.
About 125 pints are hoped for at
each visit of the Bloodmobile. in
order to keep the county's quota at
necessary levels.
"It was a real disappointment.
We are behind, and if we don't
start bringing it up, they may not
be able to send the Bloodmobile
here, if it isn't worth it." Mrs.
Barnhart said.
Several county residents have
required large amounts ot blood in
recent months, and officials here
were notified last year by the
Charlotte Red Cross office that the
county's reserve fund was in a
deficit.

NO DEFICIENCY PAYMENTS
REQUIRED FOR 1975-CROP
WHEAT. BARLEY ? Secretary of
Agriculture Earl L. But/ an
nounced on Dec. 31 that it will not
be necessary to make deficiency
payments for 1975 - crop wheat and
barley.
As provided by the Agriculture
and Consumer Protection Act of
1973. deficiency payments shall be
made to producers when the
Rational weighted average price
received by farmers for the first five
months of the marketing year -
June-October for wheat and
July - November for barley -- is less
Nit an the established target price for
hese crops.
The national weighted average
price received by producers for the
first five months of the 1975
marketing year was S3.63 per
bushel for wheat and $2.55 per
bushel for barley. Since this is in
excess of the target prices of S2.05
for wheat and SI. 13 for barley,
there will be no deficiency pay
ments.
MORE USE OF MACHINES
MADE IN NORTH CAROLINA
TOBACCO - North Carolina Hue
cured tobacco growers are gradual
ly moving away from the heavy use
of hand labor in the harvesting of
the state's No. 1 crop and toward
more mechanization.
There were an estimated 1.750
mechanical harvesters in use on
Tar Heel farms last season, an
increase of about 800 over the
previous year.
Rupert Watkins. extension engi
neer at North Carolina State
University, estimates that around
17 percent of the total 1975 crop
was harvested mechanically, up
from 10 - 12 percent the previous
year.,
Another type of mechanization
has been going on over a longer
period of time in the curing end of
tobacco production. This is the use
of bulk barns, in which tobacco is
placed in racks or. more recently,
in large boxes which hold up to
3.000 pounds of green leaf.
Watkins estimates that the num
ber of bulk barns in use in North
Carolina rose from 14.700 to
around 23.500 last season. Many of
these new barns were of the big-box
type, which is a curing principle
developed by N.C. Agricultural
Experiment Station Engineers of
North Carolina State University .
The use of the large containers
make mechanical harvesters more
efficient and eliminate the need to
handle the tobacco leaves by hand.
Mechanization continued in
other areas, such as greater use of
machines to top the tobacco.
