The above photo show corn planted in soybean residue with
no land preparation on farm of Warner Madre. This corn was
planted on April 9th and is about as clear of weeds and grass
as any corn field you will find.
The above photo shows corn planted in a com crop of rye
with no land preparation on the farm of Milton Evans in
Chowan County. This corn was planted on April 10th. This is
on sandy land, Us and Ills type soil. This type of planting on
sanly land helps prevent wind erosion and protects young
plants.

GARDEN TIME
Several years ago, when
Mrs. Lyndon Johnson inaugu
rated the "Beautify America"
program, I quoted this verse
by William F. Clark. I am
repeating It so that you may
decide how much progress we
have made.
LITTER-ITIS
"Let It not be said, and to your
shame,
That all was beauty here until
you came."
I read these words upon a
public site
Where picnickers and camp
ers had a right
To taste the air, to stir their
souls to see
What wondrous beauty nature
made (or me.
On closer glance I saw the
sign was scarred
With Jack-knifed letters, foul
verse, and marred
Beyond repair; what reason
can there be
That everything that man can
touch and see
Must bear his name, must
show his mighty power,
Must oe despoiled in every
passing hour?
Why must old cans and bottles
come to rest
Where lovely flowers and
ferns are at their best?
Why must the ground with
littered trash be strewn
And Kleenex every lovely bush
festoon?
Why must we try to ruin all
we find -Of
beauty in the world or heart
or mind?
I packed my gearf I could not!
stay for long
Where men and thoughtless
minds had done this wrong.
They'd robbed my pleasure,
stolen all I need
To sooth my soul. That en
trance sign should read
"It must be said, and even to
your shame,
That all was beauty here until
you came."

Among the important
legislation considered by the
House for the week ending Jane 5
was a bill to increase the public
debt limit. The bill as passed
increased the permanent debt
ceiling from $385 billion to $380
billion. ;
It further provided for
. temporary increase of $15 billion
for the fiscal year ending June
90, 1971, making an overall
limitation of $395 billion for the
first year, then reverting back to
$380 billion. This raising of the
debt ceiling has become an
annual event. What it does is to
provide additional borrowing
power to make payments for
obligations already incurred. I
voted no on final passage in the
belief that unless the Congress
adamantly curtails questionable
expenditures, then thee can be no
end to the drastic inflationary
spiral we are now experiencing.
The Foreign Aid appropriation
bill was also approved by the
House by a vote of 192 to 152, in
the amount of $2,120,961,000.
which represented a reduction of
$655 million from the original
budget request. This was also the
smallest appropriation for
foreign aid since 1956. Although
the Committee had reduced the
appropriation from the original
request, the House further
reduced the amount by
withholding the $80 million
requested for the Peace Corps.
Consistent with my votes since
being in Congress, I was opposed
to this, and expressed this op
position through the legislative
mechanics of a "pair." I shall
continue this negative vote until
such time as I am satisfied that
the dollars of the American
taxpayers are achieving the
original intent of this program.
In a recent column I referred
to the approval of social security
amendments providing for an
increase to some 26.2 million
beneficiaries. An unusual
eature of this legation was the
.Walter B. Jones
IIIIINIinillHHIIIIIUIIII
House approval of an amend
ment to the bill which would give
the sole power of increasing
social security taxes as well as
benefits based on projected cost
of living increases, to the
President of the United States
through the Secretary of HEW.
This Is in direct contradiction to
the United States Constitution
which has vested in the House of
Representatives . exlusive
juridiction in the matter of tax
legislation. With a firm belief in
the validity of the United States
Constitution, 6n this motion to
include this provision, I voted ho,
as did five other members of the
North Carolina delegation. On
the bill itself, along with all
members of the North Carolina
delegation, I voted in the af
firmative. Our office is always delighted
to render sei-vlce to those we
represent, and always happy to
hear from you either by phone or
mail. In order to be of greater
service, I suggest that you direct
your phone call or mail to:

Telephone Poles
No. 1 Target For
II. C. Motorist
Thee are far more trees than
telephone poles along streets and
highways of North Carolina, but
Tar Heel motorists prefer
telephone poles when it comes to
hitting some fixed object with
their cars.
During 1969, the state's driver's
crashed into an average of 15.1
telephone poles every day as
compared to only 10.7 trees.
That's a total for the year of 5,524
poles and 3,927 trees.
Sign posts were the next most
popular target for erring drivers.
A total of 2,316 posts were
shattered for an average of
slightly more than 6.3 per day.
Fences were fourth in
popularity with a daily average of
4.6 and a total for the year of
1,708. 1 '
The figures were drawn from
the 1969 Fixed Object Analysis,
compiled by the Driver
Education and Accident Records
Division of the Department of
Motor Vehicles.
Other prime targets for North
Carolina drivers were traffic
islands, 1,175; bridges, 1,047;
guard rails on shoulders, 558;
guard rails in medians, 271; and
underpasses, 108.
There were 12,891
miscellaneous fixed objects
struck in addition to the listed
items.
The total of 29,525 .objects
struck during the year averages
out at better than 83 per day.

"Please," asked little Nellie,
how did we stick on before

A Durhp . t.ursing home
operator who last week, said he
had to borrow money to meet his
payroll and blamed the "entire
Medicaid program" for inef
ficiencies which , elayed his
reimbursement has received
$187,742 in interest-free advance
and regular payments since
January 1.
This disclosure was made
today by State Social Services
Board Chairman John R. Jor
dan, Jr. of Raleigh.
The operator was quoted by a
Durham newspaper to the effect
that he had turned in bills for
January which amounted to
$56,000 for patients under the
new welfare program but had
received only $4,000 in reimbursement.
Jordan termed charges such
as these as "completely
irresponsible" and a "deliberate
attempt to confuse the public
relative to the medical
assistance program." The State,
he pointed out, advanced this
operator $69,000 in January,
another $33,000 in February and
during March and April has
made interim and regular
payments totaling another
$85,742. The value of the
operator's invoices for this year
to date was $67,849 and he still
owes the State $113,429 for the
advances, said Jordan. The
operator charged that neither
the social services department
nor Blue Cross-Blue Shield, the
fiscal intermediary for
Medicaid, would reimburse him
for interest on the payroll loan -"Maybe,
he would be willing to
pay the State interest on the
$113,429 he still owes it," said
Jordan.
When the Medicaid program
administered by the State
Department of Social Services
was implemented the first of the
year, a new payment system had
to be developed. The Federal
government requires that a
month's services must be ren
dered and claims submitted by
the nursing homes before
payments can be made.
' Jordan and the State Board
realized here would be some
delay in the beginning of this new
procedure and they requested

permission and received
authorization to make advance
payments in January and
February.
These payments were made to
all nursing homes submitting
requests totalling approxiamtely
$1,350,000. This amounted to an
interest free loan to be amortized
during the period between now
and June 30, 1971 v
; Jordan stated at the time that
he felt certain that these advance
payments would more than
satisfy all the nursing home
operators in the State.
But (when Blue Cross-Blue
Shield, which serves as an In
termediary for the Social Ser
vices Department, began
processing claims in March, they
experienced some difficulties
and the payments for some
claims were delayed. .
Some of the claims from the
Durham operator had to be
delayed because of their in
volvement with Medicare, which
required additional checking.
Regular payment for March
services will be made to the
nursing homes on or about May
11, 1970, according to Jordan. '
