Small Farms Important
Says Agriculture Comm.
"In spite of the trend to in
crease the size of farms, small
farms are important," L. Y. (Stag)
.Rallentine, North Carolina Com
missioner of Agriculture, declared.
Commissioner Ballentine, prin
cipal speaker at the 29th Anni
versary meeting of the Blue Ridge
Electric Membership Corporation,
pointed out that it was important
to emphasize industry but "agri
culture must not be overlooked."
"Industry should complement
agriculture and neither should
ever replace the other. The great
advancement made in both in
dustry and agriculture in North
Carolina could not have taken
place without electricity," he told
the membership.
He declared that "more progress
has been made within the last 29
yesrs than during any other period
in history. Along with progress
and industry hss come progress
in our rural churches and schools
and I know of no reason why this
progress should not be sdvsnced
even more within the next quarter
of a century."
He urged his several thousand
listeners not to take things for
granted but to continually work
for advancement. He cited condi
tions in the rural homes prior to
the advent of electrical energy and
compared them with today's mod
em living with its electrical appli
ances and time-saving and labor
saving devices. "If you have had
electricity for the last ten years,
you are probably taking it for
granted."
Commissioner Ballentine e x
plained that the people of North
west North Carolina have many
resources on the farm which are
probably lying dormant and he
urged that "they be put to work."
"It is an age of abundance and
rural life produces many things
