Bucks Lose To Falcons, Breeze Bv Bearcats By Mike Steadman Hoke High's basketball team split their games last week as they lost to homestanding Seventy First of Fayetteville by a 61-50 margin Tuesday and then dumped con ference foe Wadesboro. Bowman 75-68 at home Friday night. The Bucks were down by a ten point margin at the end of the first quarter against the Falcons, and were down by 11 at halftime. The Hoke offense matched the Falcon scoring in the second half, but were unable to close the margin of victory held by the Falcons. Reggie Smith and James Cole man led the Falcons in the scoring department with 20 and 16 points respectively. Marcus Brown had 15 points for the Bucks followed by Allen Thomas with 14. t The Bucks and Bearcats were knotted four times in the first quarter which ended in a 14-14 tie. In the second quarter Nate ?McNeill, Allen Thomas, and Mar cus Brown went on a scoring spree and helped the Bucks to a 34-22 halftime advantage. At one time in the second quarter the Bucks rallied for eight un answered points. The Bearcats pulled to within nine points in the third quarter as both teams displayed their scoring power, and the score was 54-45 at the end of the period. Marcus Brown savecT the Bucks from a disasterous fourth period as a full court pressure by Bowman was more effective than the Bucks zone defense. The Bearcats pulled to within three points with 1:45 showing on the clock as the score stood at 69-66, but Brown's shooting kept the Bucks out front and iced the game. The win was the second for the Bucks in conference play and gives them a 2-3 league mark and a 5-5 overall mark for the year. Bowman dropped to 1-3 and 3-9 overall. This week's games had the Bucks traveling to Laurinburg Tuesday night for another conference tilt and at home tomorrow night (Friday) against Pine Forest.

Farm Items Hoke County Agricultural Extension AsenU A large number of Hoke County farmers are taking soil samples this season.This is almost a must for every farmer since my people cut down on the use of fertilizer this past season due to cost. A large majority of the samples coming back show a need for lime on the soil. This should be applied this winter, if possible to let it become available as the plants start to grow. Most tests show that the soils are low in potash. This adjustment must be made before top yields can be secured. Potash is about as cheap as any other element that you use to fertilize plants, so don't get caught short. Most of the farmers in Hoke County that are producing top yields are testing the soils, taking nematode samples and do plant leaf analysis whenever it is needed. These are most important tools in making a profit on your farm. February will bring on some activities in the garden in eastern North Carolina. You can usually set out cabbage plants or sets. In the latter part of the month you can look toward seeding several cool season crops. The garden manual can be helpful in selecting these crops. It is also important that you use good garden seed. Any carry over seeds should have another germination test before planting. Some bulletins of interest to corn producers have just come off the press. The first one is Leaflet No. 202 which gives information on Variety Tests. The second leaflet is No. 203 that gives information on up to date practices in corn production. It looks as if there will be an increase in corn average in Hoke County this year and this information can be helpful. Farm Trade Show Set For Feb. 18-19 Farm machinery of all types will be on display at the Southeastern Farm and Home Trade Show, set for the Cooperative Warehouse in Lumberton Feb. 18-19. The theme g&?he show is "Your Gateway fiito Tomorrow". For the tobacco farmer, just about every major equipment com pany plans to show wares, from plows to curing barns, covering the whole range of tobacco production -even trucks and equipment to carry the crop to market. On the list of equipment are plows, transplanters, fertilizer placement equipment, rolling culti vators, bedders, sprayers, loopers, toppers. Every type of automatic harvester will be on display, in cluding the once-over harvester. The .grower can see not only the equipment but the other elements that play a part in quality produc tion: soil conditioners, chemicals, fertilizers. If he is interested in irrigation, then there will be equip ment of that nature ready for his inspection. Bulk barns are attracting more interest and companies which man ufacture these will be at the show. Representatives will explain the operation, and explain how such barns can reduce labor needs. Companies with tractor mounted fork lifts will be among those present as will companies with all manner of trucks and vehicles. Give Heart Fund. Give Heart Fund ? Amefcan Heart Association I .

About Social Security You Can Collect At 62 Most men and women who reach 62 in 1976 can collect monthly Social Security checks if they've worked as little as 6V? years in jobs covered by Social Security, accord ing to W.W. Thomas, Social Security District Manager in Fay etteville. People earn retirement benefits by credity for work covered by Social Security done in or after 1937, the year Social Security started. The work credity is mea sured in calendar quarters-Janu ary-March, April-June, July-Sep tember, or October-December. "Most employees get credit for a quarter of work if they're paid $50 or more in that quarter for work covered by social security." he said. "Most self-employed people get Social Security credit for four quarters in any year their annual self-employment net income is $400 or more." Most jobs and self-employment are covered by Social Security. " ~ "To be eligible for Social Securi ty retirement benefits," Thomas said, "you need, at a minimum, quarters of work equal to the number of years between 1950 and the year you reach 62. So, if you reach 62 in 1976, you need at least 25 quarters--or 6Vi years?of work credit." Eligible workers can begin col lecting their full social security retirement benefits at 65 or reduced benefits at 62. Dependents can also get payments based on the worker's earnings record. "Quarters of work credit help determine eligibility for social se curity retirement benefits," he said, "but they don't affect the amount of your monthly check. That s based on your average earnings covered by Social Security over a set period of time. "You can find out how much work and earnings are credited to your Social Security record free of charge." he said. The Social Security Administra tion is an agency of the U.S. Department of Health. Education, and Welfare. The Fayetteville social security office is at III Lamon Street. The phone number is 483-2661.
