fresh approach " to satisfy the demand for a campus paper. The Eye

student government news, commentaries, and a "Gabby
Weisenhimer" column ( with apologies to Ann Landers) written by
one of the wrier men on campus, assistant editor Ken Newton. In the

manager, Keith Borshak; photograhper, William Jarrell; and writers
Amy Clark, Brian Crum, Tip luliucci, Monica Parsons, Brenda
Squires, Shane Varney, Thomas Wolfe, and Sarah Young. The first

Variety of factors affect farms
Editor's Note: This is the fourth
in a series of four articles focusing
on the changes in North Carolina
farm structure since 1950.
The structure of the farming in
dustry is determined by a variety of
factors, and our knowledge of the
underlying causes of changes in
structure is limited.
Nevertheless, this article will
consider briefly some of the topics

usually thought to be related to
farm numbers, the size distribution
of farms and other structural
characteristics.
There is a clear relationship be
tween technological change and
changes in farm size. Farm
numbers have fallen and farms
have grown in size over the last
half century as new methods were

Insulation should be checked
before cold winter weather hits
Chances are good that your
mobile home already has insula
tion, but there are other things to
check in searching for ways to
prepare the home for winter. First
check to be sure there is insulation
in the floor. There should be three
or four inches.
If there isn't, add R-19
fiberglass batts. Consider install
ing storm windows and doors.
If it isn't possible to add conven
tional storm windows and doors,
put plastic over the inside of the
windows. In some cases a custom
made storm door can be placed on
the inside of the existing door.
You may also weatherstrip
around doors and windows, or
caulk around all windows, doors
and other places where air may
pass through. Placing a skirting
material around the base of the
mobile home may be one of the
best investments you can make to
reduce heating costs.
This reduces heat loss and helps
prevent water pipes from freezing.
You should allow some vent
space in the skirting. Have your
heating system checked and servic
ed by a competent service person,
if this hasn't been done recently.
The system should be adjusted
for maximum operating efficiency.
If heat system duct is exposed
under the floor, wrap it with a
minimum of R-4 insulation.
Also, insulate all water pipes
and tanks to prevent freezing.
