B. Bishop, sgricul taral economist at North Carolina State College Bishop believes that tho bask cause far low incomes of North Carolina (arm families Is tho low productivity per (arm worker. This low productivity, ho states, results from tho fact that relatively little coital and land are used In agriculture per farm' worker. Bishop claims that if the pro ductivity per worker Is to be in creased, the amount of capital and laad par worker must be Increas ed. He fools that la order to ac complish this Increase in pro ductivity, It will be accessary to produce more efficiently and to increase the siae of the farm buti nets. If the site of the farm business is to ho increased, points out Bishop, this will involve better uee of the laad and buying or renting additional land. Thia grow th should be accompanied by mechanization, as mechanization increaaes the productivity of la bor. To mechanize and to expand farm size, sn incresse in the amount of capital per worker will alao usually be needed, states Bishop. He points out thst In par ticular, additional adjustment credit is needed for intermediate periods of three to five years. Bishop claims that Industrial development, off-farm employment and shifts of fsrm population to non-farm resideneea are making It poeaible to increaae the land area in farma by buying additional land or renting land. Rental arrange ments need to be modified in or der to encourage mechanized op modlOes, especially livestock pro ducts, for which th* demand *P paars to be relatively favorable during the next 20 years, ha com Five Children Store Robbers North V'ilkeiboro, Jan. 7—Rob bery of a (ton and McCrady Poet Office Saturday night waa solved Sunday by the arreat of five Juve niles, tome of then so amall they would not have been able to carry away any substantial amount of loot.
