Health Department Plans Special Clinics Against 'Silent Killer' The Hoke County Health De partment will be looking for the "silent killer" during the month of May. Department workers will be checking blood pressure readings May 2 from 1 to 4:30 p.m.. May 6 from 1 to 5 p.m., and May 7 from 10 to 4 p.m. There will be no charge for the readings to be done in the Edenborough Shopping Center. In observance of National High Blood Pressure Month. The health employees will also be answering questions about the condition which affects one in every seven adults. Sr. Citizens Meet Tuesday The Senior Citizen Friendship Club will hold a covered dish supper next Tuesday. May 3 at 12:30 p.m. in the Raeford United Methodist Church fellowship hall. Members should bring a plant or a flower for an exchange. Called the "silent killer," high blood pressure usually has no symtoms, at least initially. In severe cases there will sometimes be dizziness and headaches. If not detected, the first symptom may be a heart attack or stroke. High blood pressure is also the leading contributor to kidney disease, and may be linked to 100 deaths each day in this country alone. Health officials stress that high blood pressure, or hypertension as it is also called, is not nervous tension. A relaxed, easygoing manner is no guarantee against high blood pressure. It is a condition in which the heart and blood vessels are under a constant strain. There is no cure, only control. A doctor may suggest some diet restrictions like less salt and less fatty food. Medicine may be prescribed, but it must be taken regularly to lower and maintain blood pressure at normal levels. Since ther are no symptoms, the best insurance policy is to have your blood pressure checked regularly by a professional. J. H. AUSTIN INSURANCE SINCE 14S0 AUTO-FIRE-LIFE CASUALTY 114 W.

Agri. Extension Agent Each year the Extension Service tries to put out several method and result demonstrations that will benefit our producers of crops. In 1977 the following two demon strations should be observed by growers. The first is a cotton nematicide demonstration on the John Balfour farm near Dundarrach. This will consist of two fumigant treatments, Telon II and DBCP. Also three granular treatments including NEMACUR, TEMIK AND UC 21865 will be used. Various rates of these chemicals will be put in the demonstrations. The second test is one in different tillage methods for field crops. This one is on the Earl Hendrix farm and will be just off the West Hoke School road. This is designed to come up with the tillage method that is economical and gives increased yields of crops. This will involve several acres and will probably be carried out for several years. TTiis is being carried out in cooperation with the Soil Con servation Service. ? ? ? Extension's six year program will be stressing some important points for crop production. The first is that producers need to adopt the proven research practices in pro duction. These include use of certified seeds, nematode control, weed control and disease and insect control. Farmers should pay closer attention to the adjustment of harvesting equipment to save the total amount produced. Growers should develop a complete mar keting plan before they plant crops. Better farm management and better record keeping practices is a must for efficient farming. Rental agreements must be studied care fully. Young people should be encouraged to enter the agri cultural production field and should be given aid where possible. Forest plantings and forest management practices should be done as a source of additional income. This could help to pay taxes on farmland. ? * * Make sure that your -crops are planted at the recommended rates this year. This often determines the yields of your crop for the year. Many of our soybean growers plant the crop too thick for maximum production. Growers should know the germination percentage of the seed lot and plant right to assure a stand. SCS Activities By Oval Richie District Conservationist "With warm weather coming to North Carolina, we need to be safety conscious about the many farm ponds in Hoke County," Chairman D.R. Huff Jr. of the Hoke Soil and Water Conservation District said. "We are already seeing an increase in fishing, and soon the youngsters will be using these ponds for swimming. Landowners should require that the 'buddy system' witn more than one person be used for both fishing and swimming. A person alone can disappear mighty quick." The chairman pointed out that most farmers do not want to deny ponds on their land to their neighbors. "Very few ponds have fencing or similar barriers," he coninued, "but we should make sure that everybody using the ponds is safety conscious." Chairman Huff said that Hoke County has 152 ponds, and over the entire State of North Carolina more than 67,000 ponds have been installed with technical assistance from the Soil Conservation Service. "This large number makes the safety message that much more urgent," he said. and crafts exhibits set up
