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:
