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 UNVEIl.ING - An embroidered county seal, a project of the extension homemakers, was unveiled last Wednesday in the auditorium of the county office building. Shown here, left to right, are Mrs. Frances Woolley, Mrs. Cleva Newton, Mrs. Treva Koonce, Mrs. Janie Monroe, and Mrs. Lucille Peeler.

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.

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. * * * io7?rwlr<l crop contracting of 1976 crop cotton has been fairlv active in N.C. this spring. Approximately 17 per cent of the estimated April planting intentions has been contracted through May 31st. Contract terms included prices up to 60.00 cents per pound tor "all in grade", or up to 300 points off December futures prices basis grade 41m staple 34. Cotton reduced in grade are discounted UJO points. Mike range is 3.4 to Merchants are currently offering up to 62.00 cents per pound for "all in grade" contracts. The upward price trend finds farmers reluctant to accept these prices and most are asking 65.00 cents per pound.
