Potato Acreage
Hits New Low
Raleigh ? Reports from Tar
Heel farmer* Indicate intentions
to plant* a total of 40,000 acres of
Irish potatoes this year. Accord
in* to the records of the North
Carolina Crop Reporting Service,
this would be the smallest acre
age for "all" Irish potatoes since
1921 when 38,000 acres were har
vested. Compared to last year, the
currently intended acreage is 18
percent less than the 46,000 acres
harvested in 1953 and 58 percent
less than the 1943-52 average of
69,000 acres. ?
The commercial early crop
with an expected decrease -of
4,500 acres (from lp,500 in 1953
to a prospective 15,000 this year)
has accounted for the major por
tion of the "all" potato decline.

Building Costs
Infuence Plans
The high cost of buildinf to
day hai made us become realist!
about the use of space. We want
our houses to be lived in, every
inch of them. For moat of us the
formal drawing room is a thing
of the past. Gone too, in many
small houses, is the dining room.
In its place is a more spacious
living-dining room. The study
guest room is often found replac
ing the guest bedroom.
The fuiftiture of today is com
fortable and sturdy. The pieces
are usually related but not match
ing. Lighter colored woods are
replacing the dark-toned woods
of the past because they are less
prone to show marks and dust.
People are learning to make the
best use of what they have. Com
binations of furniture are inter
esting and individual and can be
tied together with color.
The room without a mantel is
a decorating problem. It need not
be so, however. The point is to
make a cented of interest if you
have not the ready-made note of
a fireplace. There are various
ways to do this. One of the best
is a sofa grouping, either in con
nection with a group of windows
or with an upright wall decora
tion.
There must be "uprights" in
decorating. The mantel-piece is
an upright This make* the hori
zontal lines of a sofa or chain
form a pleasant composition.
Place a picture or group of pic
tures above a sofa to give the up
right line. 9
Often a large, tall piece of fur
niture, flanked by pictures, can
be made into the center of inter
est of a room. A secretary, or a
large table with a hanging mir
ror or group of printa, are exam
ples. '
Traffic Deaths
Heavy In 1953
Raleigh. ? During 19S3, someone
was killed in a North Carolina
traffic accident, on the average,
once every 8 hours, a study by
the Motor Vehicles Department
reveals.
The 1953 traffic death toll in
our itate reached 1,118, or three
more than the previous year.
During the same period, the na
tion's death toll from auto acci-'
dents rose from 38,000 in '52 to
38,300 last year.
California farm land has de
creased in value 5 per cent since
1947-49, while North Carolina
farm land has increased in value
36 per cent.
The United State* winter wheat
crop is estimated at 678 million
bushel*, 23 per cent nhaller than
the 1963 crop.
Feed costs make up between
35 and 80 per cent of the coct of
operating a dairy herd in North
Carolina.
