Picture For | 1 Farm Income Is 4 • *• -*• •*. > - •*■ • - ' Looking Bright Governor Lather H. Hodges at his recent Farm Advisory Com mittee meeting made a cautious prediction that North Carolina’s per .capita income for 1958 will jump one or two places in the national ratings as a result of the state’s expected farm income boost “I am fj(oing to make a cautious guess that we will move up from one to two places in the per capita income scale,” he said after hear ing several glowing reports from members representing various areas of the state. A sharp drop in tobacco income last year was principally responsible for a drop in Tar Heel per capita income that placed the stfite 451 h in the nation. The governor heard members of his farm advisory committee I report that things generally are | looking up, that morale of farm people generally is better than in several years. . Tobacco income has risen sharply after last year’s downward plunge. Income from poultry and livestock continues to advance. i Dr. D. W. Colvard, dean of the N. C. State College School of Ag riculture and chairman of the ad visory committee, told the gov ernor that figures indicate the state’s farm income has recovered most of last year’s drop and will be back close to $1 billion again this year. Hodges said he was very much encouraged by the state’s econom ic condition—“more so than I was 90 days ago.” The- encouraging reports on farm income, he added, made good news because “we here in North Carolina are so terribly de pendent on agriculture.” The governor also had praise| for Colvard and other members of the State College School' of Agri culture administration for their forward step in revamping the curricula of the school to meet rapidly changing conditions in thej farm economy. The governor said the new curriculum plan is the “most encouraging thing I have seen happen.” Under the new educational pro gram students may specialize in either agricultural science, agri cultural business, or agricultural technology, with a major in any of the various specialties. ! Health For All ] S. ; —-w» Your Pet and TB • What are the chances of your catching tuberculosis from a- pet animal? It depends somewhat on the species, but in general the ani mal runs more risk of getting TB from you. There are three major strains of j tuberculosis germs—human, bo ; "ine and avian. Half a century ago it was only too common for people to be infected with bovine germs bty drinking the milk of tu berculosis cows. Today it is ex ceeedinjjly rare in the United S*ates, although still a serious problem in many other counties. When a dog develops TB, the infection can more often be trac ed to man than to another animal. Cats, on the other hand, are sel dom infected by their owners. Canaries, too, rarely develop hu man TB. They’re naturally more susceptible to avian TB. Oddly enough, parrots are more suscep tible to the human strain <of germs than to the bird type. Wild animals in their native habitat are believed to be free of TB, but in captivity, exposed to man, they frequently develop the disease. Monkeys appear to be the most susceptible of all any mals. Even elephants have been known to die of TB, infected by their human keepers in zoos and circuses.' Rodents such as guinea pigs, rabbits, and mice rarely are AjurdS a mu \ J? 4 SVT \ ''B4 PROOF V *£“2*|£ \ I Wigii i ati v«- xmbf-’u*. i» i “ i |r 8 Ik •, '\WL >7 JH * *H» Si fl ||& SILVER FOR STERLING YOUTH-Top boy and girl in 4-H Club work for 1958 are Linda Lou Gould, 19, left, of Lafayette, Ind., and Roger Hunsley, center, of Pierre, S.D.

With today’s methods of treatment, cure is al most certain.
