Publisher Rachel Rivers ? Coffey of The Watauga Democrat, and other dignitaries. The cast - iron tlatbed press, made by R. Hoe and Company of New York (a firm still in operation) was purchased by The Watauga Democrat in 1887 or 1888 and shipped to Lenoir where it was loaded aboard a wagon pulled by four mules which strained and struggled to get he 1800 pound burden up the rugged North Carolina mountains to Boone. There it remained, printing every day. according to Mrs. Coffey. However, the old press's load was lightened slightly when power presses came into use, and was used mainly for proofs. In 1966. the venerable machine was retired to the "cobwebs of the basement." she said. ccenl" on ?% |gricull"ure BY JOHN SLEDGE N.C. Farm Bureau Federation Farmers are producers, but be fore they can be producers, they must first be consumers. In fact, the farmer is one of the nation's largest consumers, using great quantities of steel, rubber and other products in his food produc tion business. Take milk, for example. Before milk from the cow reaches the retail consumers, a lot of pasture, feed, fertilizer, and electricity must be consumed. When that milk leaves the farm, it must be processed into ice cream, butter, sour cream, cheese, or some other dairy pro duct. Even when it stays in its original form as fresh milk, it must be pasteurized, homogenized and standardized. All this preparation uses up additional energy in the form of labor, electricity and fuel for transportation. So a lot of consuming goes on before milk, or any other farm product, reaches the market. The consumer of the food the farmer produces is probably the producer of goods the farmer consumes to produce the food the 4 2PI KISS -- Kindergartener Tammv Thompson gives her mother a goodbye kiss.

He branded all afiipments he inspected "U.S." consumer consumes! This makes them both consumers and pro ducers. They arc partners in the "game" called supply and demand. They depend on each other tor products and services that are essential to modern business and living. One can't live without the other. Together they make the best food and fiber team in the world. They have something else in common -- both are caught in the same spiraling inflation that makes it costly to be either a producer or a consumer. Each must understand the frus trations the other laces as the value of earned dollars is eroded by inflation. The press has been faithfully restored to like - new condition by museum conservator Paul Mears. The press can accommodate page sizes to 22 inches by 36 inches and is capable of printing approxi mately two pages a minute. New leather straps move the bed under the platen as the rounce handle is turned. Mears explained with the operator standing to the left of the machine. "This was back - breaking work." he said, "and usually relegated to the printer's devil (apprentice)/' The printshop. which will show all the equipment for a full working shop including type, type cases, inking roller and inking slab, is designed to depict the printing methods used in the state during the mid ? 19th century, according to John Ellington, museum ad ministrator. At that time. North Carolina saw a sizeable increase in the number of newspapers pub lished. in the number of books printed and authors writing, and bills in the legislature providing for schools to reduce illiteracy. In addition, a collage illustrating the variety and scope of the printing possible on the press will be on view, with such items as broadsides, newspapers, and church publications. A George Moses Horton acrostic (poetry with first letters of each line vertically forming words) will be displayed. Horton. a prominent North Carolina black poet, was active during the mid - 1 9th century. Flyers actually printed on the press will be given to guests watching the demonstration print ing. As soon as possible, a museum volunteer will be taught to operate the press, and the working shop will be a regular feature of museum tours. Ellington said. The printshop. a permanent exhibit, is part of the continuing chronological development of North Carolina history "From the Stone Age to the Space Age." located in the first floor galleries. Admission is free. Hours at he museum at 109 E. Jones St.. Raleigh, are 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.. Tues. through Sat. and 1 - 6 p.m.. Sunday.

Aplin] New Agricultural Text Out "Financial Planning In Agricul ture," a new textbook which deals with the wise use of agricultural credit, has been published by Interstate Printers and Publishers of Danville. 111., in cooperation with the nationwide Farm Credit System. Edward C. Sumner, president of the Federal Land Bank Association of Lumberton, made the an nouncement noting that the new textbook represents a significant step forward in credit teaching aids which are available to vocational agriculture. "Financial Planning In Agri culture" was prepared with as sistance from key vocational agri culture leaders throughout the U.S.. including. Luther Lalum of Kalispell. Mont., John Murray of Jackson. Minn.. George Wiggers of Knoxville. Tenn., James Dougan. Columbus. Ohio, and James Wall. Lincoln. Neb. The new text is a 9b - page book which objectively describes major credit sourses that are available to agri - businessmen. The book also deals extensively with fundamental credit principles, cash flow management, budgeting, short and long - range agricultural planning and a variety of other information. A complete teacher's guide is available as a companion teaching aid. The new textbook is designed primarily for use in high school vocational agriculture classes. It will also receive use in colleges, vocational - technical schools, adult farmer classes, and as a reference for farmers and ranchers. It is expected to earn widespread use throughout the country. -*ri The USS North Carolina, the famed American battle ship of World War II, steamed 307.000 miles during her war time duty. Read Matthew 6:19-21 . 31-33 "The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts." (Haggai 2:8) ' Burglars broke open a window, ransacked the house, and stole Tom's valuable coin collection. Tom prized the coins, not only tor their worthl but because they had belonged to' his father. After the burglary a concerned friend asked Torn. "Weren't you sick about losing that valuable collection?" Tom shook his head and said. "No. 1 was not. Everything I have belongs to God." Tom. a boy in high school, had learned the truth that our hearts are with that which we love the most. He valued the coins because they had belonged to his father, but his real treasure was in the king dom of his heavenly Father. If earthly possessions mean more to us than our loving heavenly Father, then our treasure is not in heaven. But when our treasure is in heaven, there will be no hoarding or miserly counting of earthly treasures. No coveting. No asking God WHY when such loses occur. It all belongs to God. What a way to keep books! The famous "Uncle Sam" first appeared as a cartoon in the New York "Lantern." a comic weekly, on March 13. 1852.
