BACK TO THE COUNTRY. In
the 1960s, Americans were moving
to the cities in great numbers, but.
in the 1970s, they showed a decid
ed preference for small towns and
rural communities. During the
1960s, metro areas grew by 17 per
cent and the rest of the nation by
just 4 percent. But in the 1970s,
non-metro areas grew by 15 per
cent and metro areas by only 9.5.

AG COLLEGES CALLING
TOBACCO CONFERENCE
Colleges of agriculture in five
flue-cured tobacco producing
states have seheduled a regional
conference to examine tobacco
issues for the 1980s.
The conference is planned for
Myrtle Beach. S.C., March 8-9.
Dr. J.E. Legates, dean of the
School of Agriculture and Life
Sciences at North Carolina State
University, said the conference will
be designed to provide information
on critical tobacco problems.
"We will not be developing
policy proposals," Legates added,
"Rather, we will be presenting
analysis based on university
research that should be useful to
those seeking solutions to tobacco
problems."
The analysis will be offered by
scientists and specialists from col
leges of agriculture in Florida,
Georgia, South Carolina, North
Carolina, Virginia and the U.S.
Department of Agriculture.
Legates said the new no-net-cost
program and its implications for
income, quota value, farm struc
ture and price stabilization are
among the issues that will be
discussed.
Another issue on the agenda is
the quality of U .S. tobacco and the
various technologies available to
influence quality.
Several marketing issues will
also be discussed, including de
mand estimates, world money
markets and trade restraints.
"We would like to draw a cross
section of tobacco farmers,
agribusiness men, agricultural
lenders, and representatives from
farm organizations and govern
ment agencies," Legates said. In
formation on conference registra
tion is available from county ex
tension offices.
If a turkey is just too much for
your small family, you may want
to consider a baking hen. Just
remember that this label indicates
a mature bird. It should be cooked
by moist heat and then browned.
