Farm Receipts
Drop In 1953
Farming in North Carolina
yielded somewhat lower cash re
ceipt* last year than in 1951 and
1952, reflecting a nationwide
trend.
Tar Heel cash (arm receipt*
came to 94 per cent of 1952 re
ceipts according to L. E. Tuck
willer, county far agent for the
State College Extension Service.
Mr. aTuckwiller, citing a recent
survey of the USDA's Agricul
tural Marketing Service, said
1953 cash farm receipts for the
nation as a whole dropped slight
ly less, to 96 per cent of the 1952
receipts.
The nation's farmers realized a
net income of $12.8 billion in
1953. Though this was 5 per cent
less than the amount received in
1952 and 12 per cent less than
1951, it was 4 per cent higher
than the postwar low of 1950. In
come in 1951 reflected the sharply
increased demard caused by the
Korean War.
Total cash receipts in 1953
were lower than in 1952 in 37
states, and higher in 11 states.
The decreases ranged from less
than 1 per cent in North Dakota
to 26 per cent in Nevada, while
increases ranged from less than
1 per cent in Pennsylvania to 20
per cent in Mississippi.
North Carolina' ranked fourth
in cash receipts from crops in
1953, with farmers getting $672,
434,000. Tar Heel farmers receiv
ed $211,636,000 from livestock,
placing North Carolina 23rd
among the livestock producing
states. Total cash receipts ? live
stock and crops ? amounted to
$884,070,000 in 1953. The $8$4,
070,000 makes North Carolina the
12th ranking state in cash re
ceipts from farm' marketings.

You can't fool the ladies when it comes
to styling.
From clothes and hemlines, to cars and
' color schemes? they insist on a fresh new
look and a fresh new change? and anything
else won't do.
So it's easy to see why the gals? bless 'em!
?have been going for Buick in a great big
way-going for the glamorous modernity
of these new-day automobiles ever since
the first public showing a few short months
ago.
From the beginning, they've been going
for the sleeker, longer, lower lines ? the
futur^tic shaping of the new windshields
? the stunning d?cor of the striking new
fabrics ? the clean simplicity of the new
instrument panels.
But you ought to see how they go for the
gay new car models in Buick's Spring
Fashion Show! Fresh new Convertibles,
