April 23 - Hoke County College Hoke Agricultural Extension News by Willie Featherstone, Jr. County Extension Chairman FOOD OUTLOOK This year food prices will pro bably go up about eight percent. A And that's about the same price in % irease we had from 1980 to 1981 and from 1979 to 1980. There's some good news and some bad news in this eight percent price rise. The good news is that the three-year trend I just mention ed represents a significant drop from the double-digit pace we had in the late 1970s. The bad news is that food prices will double in about 10 years if this eight-percent a-year trend continues. h % Most of the anticipated 1982 in crease will be caused by higher pro cessing and distribution costs. Raw food costs are likely to remain stable thanks to the record crops our farmers harvested last fall. THERMOSTAT PLACEMENT A misplaced thermostat could mean higher heating bills. If a ther mostat is in a cold or drafty loca l^llpn, it can keep your furnace run JT/flng while the rest of the house overheats. And if it's near a heat source, a i thermostat can continue to read Is warm, even if you're chilly. The best spot for a thermostat is on an inside wall - one that's away from doors, windows and other sources of cold or drafts. And be sure it's a wall without any heating pipes, air ducts or chimneys behind Then check to see that the sun doesn't hit the thermostat ? and that it's away from appliances that give off heat, such as lamps, radios and televisions. Since a thermostat can sense the temperature only in its immediate area, find the spot that best represents the whole house.
