North Carolina tobacco farmers face uncertain market future
North Carolina, responsible for two thirds of U S tobacco, sees 1975 prospects dim amid low prices and erratic weather. Farmers closed warehouses on the Border Belt, circulated a petition to Secretary Earl Butz, and blamed quota increases for 1975. Prices hover around 90 per hundred pounds, well below last year and far from what growers claim they need.

It highlights advances in blade design, pollution-free benefits, and challenges such as variable wind, high upfront costs, and storage issues. Experts say tangible commercial results remain 5 to 15 years away.

National whirligig sports trial tests hockey violence rule
The assault trial of Dave Forbes of the Boston Bruins ended in a hung jury in Hennepin County Minnesota. The case questions where body contact in hockey becomes a crime and could affect how future sport related assaults are charged. The Jan 4 Bruins North Star brawl led to allegations of a 25 to 30 stitch wound to Boucha and a five year, $5000 penalty for aggravated assault. The judge signaled limits of external interference in sports governance while noting the need for government authority in policing violent play.
