Quinn. 20 years old, was stabbed in the chest last Friday night and came to Duplin Ge neral Hospital in shock. He was taken to surgery immediately and a one inch long cut through the wall of the right ventricle (front surface of the heart) was found to be leaking con siderable blood at each hear beat. Repair of the heart and blood transfusions restored Quinn to near normal heart action and three days later he was up walking. The reason Quinn sur vived as long as he did before surgery was that a clot had formed over the opening in the heart. This unusual operation was performed by Dr. GlennS. Ras mus sen at Duplin General Hos pital. Agricultural Income $57,000,000 In 1965 By Vernon H. Reynolds, County Extension Chairman According to estimates by Duplin County Agricultural Ex tension Service, the gross ag ricultural Income In Duplin Co unty for 1965 was $57,003,666. This Is an Increase of more than one and one-half million dollars over the 1964 agricul tural income of $55,397,997. Duplin County has been the leading agricultural county In North Carolina for the last several years. The Increase In Income from poultry and livestock more than offset a loss In tobacco Income of nearly $3,000,000. The 1965 , income from crops amounted to $25,417,135, compared to a crop income In 1964 of $27, 914,740. The 1965 Income from livestock and poultry was $27, 906,500, compared to 1964 in come of $24,060,000. The to bacco allotment in Duplin Coun ty in 1965 was 13,051 acres. Twelve thousand, three hundred one acres of this allotment was planted, which produced 24,529,031 pounds, for an ave rage yield of 1,994 pounds per acre. The tobacco poundage produced was 27,000 pounds over the poundage allotment for the county. The 1965 tobacco income was $15,575,935, com pared to the 1964 tobacco in come of $18,466,586. Cotton Income dropped from $130,124 in 1964 to $38,400 in 1965. Dublin County corn producers grew 60,000 acres of corn with an average yield of 90 bushels per acre, for a total produc tion of 5,400,000 bushels. It was estimated that approxi mately 4,000,000 bushels of this corn was sold as grain for an income of $4,800,000. The in come from small grain and soy beans dropped from $1,780,280 in 1964 in $1,393,750 in 1965. This drop was brought about by lower soybean yields, be cause of dry weather in late summer, even though soybean acreage Increased from 18,000 acres in 1964 to 23,000 acres in 1965. The 1965 yield dropped to 23 bushels per acre, com pared to 32 bushels in 1964.

[Homemaker Program Available In Duplin "Many people in Duplin are not aware that we have avail able a Homemaker Program," says Mrs. Taylor, Director of Public Welfare. "The purpose of this is to help those who wish the service, in learning to sew, in home decor atlng, in spending their food dollar to a better advantage, in food conservation and preservation, and in per sonal grooming." With the help of the Home maker, many clothes have been repaired and altered and made useful. Many garments beyond repair have been cut up and made into quilts. Others that could be used have been cut up and made into clothing for chil dren," Mrs. Taylor continued, and she added that when wash ed or cleaned and pressed some one had good wearable clothing. "In some instances," she said, "this has meant a child staying in school. Many things nave been donated by clubs, indivi duals and by Smith's Dry Clean big Plant. Everything is used in one way or another. J. P. Stevens Company has donated material and other items," she continued. "Rugs, pot holders and similar bents are being braided from hems donated by this company. Bedspreads and children's dresses and other items are being made." ? 'Cooking is not omitted," Mrs. Taylor said. "Recently when an Illustration was given In making hot chocolate witn the use of dried milk. It was learned that the family had no cups from which to serve the whole some drink. A great need in many homes Is trie barest es sentials such as forks, knives, plates, cups saucers, glasses dishes and pots and pans." Mrs. Taylor thought some peo ple might say "why don't folks have such items?" Her remark was that much labor Is seaso nal, the peopleare Illiterate and untrained and the Income Is small, therefore, since food Is the first necessity, the Income Is usually spent for that and other things are lacking since there is nothing to buy them with. The welfare Department now has space to store such Items and welcomes donations. "We also welcome used fur niture and bedding," the di rector said. "Seven mattresses were given at one time. They were quickly placed where needed, in one home the Home maker was asked to show how to take the paint off a dirty blackened piece of furniture. The owner then cleaned it and with the Homemaker's help re finished it. it became a lovely piece of furniture." The Duplin Corny welfare Department has two homema kers who are busy from day to day helping those who are in terested in learning to use what they have more effectively to improve their surroundings, to use their Income to the best advantage and to become hap pier individuals. Contributions are welcomed and anything can be used but this must not be misinterpreted as belngthealm of the Homemaker service for It Is not. The Homemaker has for her sole purpose the Im provement of homemaking skills with the use of what one has available.
