Baccus named winner
The United States Achievement
announced today that Jarrod Baccus
has been named a 1984 United States
National Award winner in Science.
This award is a prestigious honor
very few students can ever hope to
attain. In fact, the Academy
rccognizes less than 10 percent of all
American high school students.
Baccus, who attends Perquimans
High School, was nominated for this
National Award by James S.
Midgette and Elaine Pritchard,
counselors at the school.
Baccus's achievement will appear
in the United States Achievemnt
Academy Official Yearbook,
published nationally.
The Academy selects USAA
winners upon the exclusive
recommendation of teachers,
coaches, counselors or other school
sponsors and upon the Standards of
Selection set forth by the Academy.
The criteria for selection are a
student's academic performance,
interest and aptitude, leadership
qualities, responsiblity, enthusiasm,
motivation to learn and improve,
citizenship, attitude and cooperative
spirit, dependability and
recommendation from a teacher or
director.
Jarrod Baccus is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Elton Baccus.
Grandparents are Mrs. and Mrs.
Odell Baccus of Hertford and Mrs.
and Mrs. Carlton Combs of
Weeks ville.
Farm programs protect
against weather risks
RALEIGH ? In addition to price
support loans, target price protection
and other benefits, John J. Cooper,
State Executive Director, North
Carolina Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation Service, says the
1M4 Acreage Reduction Programs
protect farmers against weather
risks.
"If a natural disaster reduces
crops, farmers who participate in the
programs are still eligible for
deficiency payments. If favorable
weather causes a surplus, program
participants can protect their
incomes by using price support loans
as marketing tools, in addition to the
deficiency payments," Cooper said.
Deficiency payments are made
when market prices fall below target
levels.
To take adavantage of this
protection, farmers must sign up
between now and February 24 and
comply with acreage reduction
requirements of 30 percent for wheat,
ten percent for feed grains and extra
long staple cotton, and 25 percent for
upland cotton and rice.
The wheat program contains an
optional 10 to 20 percent land
diversion with a payment-in-kind
equal to 75 percent of the farm's
program yield, according to Cooper.
He said unless participation in the
wheat program is relatively high,
supplies could reach record levels
and what prices could decline. USDA
officials expect this year's ending
stocks of wheat to be about 1.4 billion
bushels, down eight percent from a
year earlier but still considerably
above a desirable level of one billion
bushels.
Cropland removed from
production by the programs to
balance supply with demand will be
placed in an acreage conservation
reserve.

Williams appointed Bike-A-Thon Chairman
Howard Williams, has been
appointed Chairman for the annual
"Wheels for Life" Bike-A Thon in
Hertford. The event is scheduled for
April 14, with a rain date of April 21.
This ride will benefit St. Jude
Children's Research Hospital.
St. Jude Children's Research
Hospital is a research-trreatment
education center where physicians
and scientists working side by side
have actually succeeded in rewriting
medical textbooks through
painstaking research and treatment
advances.
This institution, now the largest
childhood cancer research center in
America, owes its establishment to a
promise made years ago by
entertainer, Danny Thomas.
His dream became reality when
the doors of this non-sectarian
research hospital opened in 1962
dedicated solely to the conquest of
hopeless diseases of children.
Today, the disease-free survival
figure for children in long-term
remission has grown to more than SO
percent.
