Homemakers' Idea
Embroidered Seal T TflVPilarl
After reading a feature on county
seals published in a state news
paper and learning Hoke County
was one of only about a dozen
counties having an official seal,
Mrs. Herman Koonce, county
cultural arts program chairman,
became interested in promoting the
seal.
Mrs. Koone had 8x13 prints of
the seal made from the county
stationery and these prints were
sold to individuals to be used for
embroidering, painting or needle
point.
This year the Hoke County
extension homemakers decided to
embroider the seal to be hung in
the auditorium of the county office
building. Wayside, Phillipi and
Rockfish clubs took the leadership
in planning.
Robert Gatlin transferred the
design to the fabric. Mrs. Herman
Koonce and Mrs. George Monroe
?of the Rockfish Club spent many
hours doing the needlework.
Georgia Mae McDonald at Raeford
Dry Cleaners blocked the finished
4piece. Glenn Wood made the frame
and Mr. and Mrs. Wood and Mr.
and Mrs. Gerald Sappenfield
donated the frame.
The county extension staff
mounted the fabric and placed it in
the frame, Mrs. Ellen Willis, Mrs.
Marsha Smith, Wendell Young,
Freddie O'Neal, and Willie

Library News
Plan For Vacation Reading
Our circulation is holding real
well though all school projects are
finished. The school projects have
caused many students to realize the
different kinds of material we have
and can get from the Region or
State Library for them. It's nice
these same students continue to use
the library for their summer and
vacation reading. The constant
flow of new books has really helped
our circulation. In working closely
with our old books; reshelving.
cataloging, storing and discarding,
we are realizing more and more the
value of books we have on our
shelves. Those patrons who are
stopping to look just at our new
books may not realize the wealth of
material they are passing up. While
new books are always exciting,
some of the older ones have
wonderful story value. Some of the
older folks in the not too far past
Jiave written most interesting books
of their lives. We invite our regular
patrons and all new patrons to
come in, browse, and see what you
can find in some of our old books --
fiction and non - fiction.
We know folks are reading our
library articles 'cause so many have
come in to use or new copier. We
too are enjoying not having to go
down to the courthouse to copy our
ovyn material.
Those who enjoy newspapers
may like to come down and read
the Wall Street Journal which we
are now receiving daily. This will
not be checked out but you might
enjoy a few minutes to relax and
read this and many other periodi
cals.

Agricultural Extension AgenU
The Environmental Protection
Agency has issued final regulations
establishing the conditions under
which animal feeding operations
are considered point sources of
pollution and thereby subject to
wastewater discharge permit re
quirements.
7il^8!ncy/stjma,es ,hat of lhe
719,000 beef, dairy and swine
feeding operations in the U.S., onlv
about 3,000 would be required to
obtain permits. The regulations do
not require permits for feed lots
that do not discharge pollutants
into navigable waters.
The basic provisions are: Feed
lots with 1,000 or more animal
units must obtain a permit if the
facility discharges pollutants by
means of a manmade conveyance
constructed for the purpose or if it
discharges into waters that pass
through or come in direct contact
with animals in the confined area
reedlots with less than 300 units
are not subject to the permits
requirements unless designated on
a case by case basis after an on site
inspection.

Extension agents in 12 N C
counties tested the effectiveness of
different types of covers on tobacco
plant beds. Soil moisture was the
ma^ factor that made differences
in 1976. The moisture seems to be
maintained better under the
perforated plastic covers than
under the more porous covers.
Transplant numbers at the first
pulling were highest for the
perforated plastic and lowest for
the cotton. On the second pulling
there was very little difference in
numbers, except the cotton
continued to give the lowest
numbers. Durability was very
similar to the nylon covers.

Merchants are currently offering
up to 62.00 cents per pound for "all

to accept these prices and most are
asking 65.00 cents per pound.
