A. Clay, president of the Watauga County Farm Bureau, ?aid today that the Board of Director* of the North Carolina Farm Bureau, at a special meet ing last week in Raleigh, voteu unanimously the following re solution designed * to further emphasize the Farm Bureau's position with reference to con trolling inflation: "The Jlorth Carolina Farm Bureau maintain* that inflation cannot be controlled by price ceiling on raw agricultural ?om modities for the following rea sons: 1. Farmers cannot afford to produce agricultural commodi ties under a ceiling price when the cost of production is rapidly increasing and will ultimately mult in the farmer producing hi* commodities at a loss. 2. Records show that since 1947 the farmer's net income has de creased from 18 billions to 13 billions. This is n decrease of ov er 30 percent. 3. Last year the fanner receiv ed an average wage of over 5# cents per hour in comparison to the industrial worker's wage scale of )1_50. No consideration was given for the farmers mana gerial ability, and a scant S per cent was allowed on his invest ment. The North Carolina Farm Bur eau maintains that the only pos sible solution to the inflation problem is to increase produc tion; eliminate non-essential gov ernmental expenditures; provide non-inflation handling of mone tary and fiscal policies; strict credit controls: ami a pay-as- we go system of taxation. This program will increase production, keep our free mar kets, and ultimately put food on American tables at a reasonable price." A minimum membership quota for this State has been, set at ?0, 000 by the Board of Directors with a 100,000 maximum quota. ThU quota will be made up from ' the county lyembership. Sales of farm products this .? year may yield about a fourth naore to farmer* -than in 1950 Production costs, however, wll! alio move up ? probably 10 to ,15 per e*nt. Net farm incom* is expected to bo larger than in any ' year since 1947. RADIATOR SERVICE Genera) Automobile Repairing, Welding, Expertly Done by Competent Workmen Dale K. F.
