Greene Speaks To Lions Club The Boone Liom Club heard an informative talk at iti semimonthly meeting Tuesday night, August 20, by Clyde R. Greene of Boone, director of the 9*tate Southeastern Area of the Agricultural Stabilization Committee (ASC). Greene outlined the government's agricultural setup from the Secretary of Agriculture and his assistant secretary, down through the area, state and county officers. The Secretary makes regulations to carry out laws passed by the Congress, he said, and "my job is to go to the state offices and help them with their program." The state and county offices take the program directly to the farmer, he added. He cited the Agricul•tor* Act of 1S33 as the basis of the present farm program. In discussing the farm situation, the speaker said one-third of our topaoil is now gone, and we must do everything possible to protect and preserve our natural resources such as land, forests, and water. One hundred years ago, said Greene, 83 per cent of our people lived on farms, while now only 12 or 13 per cent are fanners, "but we still produce enough to feed our population due to advanced farming methods." In North Carolina, the speaker said, one-third of our people live on farms, one-third in cities, and one-third in the country and work in town. The states of North Carolina and Iowa lead all others in seven farm categories, he said, giving North Carolina's position in each as follows: Call and SAVE! PAUL W.
