A FORD DEALER AUTHORIZED
REMANUFACTURED ENGINE!
There’s a big difference between a Ford Dealer
Authorized Remanufactured Engine and an ordi
nary "rebuilt.” For one thing, you get a FULL
WARRANTY on our Ford Dealer engine, but
most rebuilts are not guaranteed. For another,
these engines are worlds apart in quality. And
;
the bargain price you may pay for a short block
rebuilt is just the first cost you pay. If you’re
thinking of repowering your Ford, come in and
talk to us first.

NAGS HEAD, N. C. A victim of the big March 7 coastal
storm, Thomas W. Foster shows Red Cross worker J. White Guyn
what’s left of Foster home toppled into Roanoke Sound. Red Cross
is paying rental on temporary living quarters for the Foster family,
has supplied clothing and medicines, will supplement the family's
resources for building and furnishing another home at another site.
Many other victims of storm are being similarly helped. Funds
were provided in annual campaigns.
ing his tile system.
George Burdick, District Bi
ologist, with the Wildlife Re
sources Commission for this dis
trict, informed me that some
annual wildlife food planting
material was still; available for
distribution to -anyone that re
quests it. This material usual
ly consists of a mixture of soy
beans, milo, millet, lespedeza
and cowpeas. Burdick says if
can be seeded up through June.
It will provide a temporary fall
and winter food supply for faj-m
game. Irregular corners • in
fields, small fields, woodland
clearings, small blocks or strips
are all good places to plant this
material. Any requests can be',
made direct to Mr. Burdick or
any wildlife worker. . They can
also be made-' through,' the Coun
ty Agriculture Agent, Soil Con
ervation Service, &SCS Office
or any other agricultural work
er.
Farm drain- tile was staked on
Colbert Byrum and Jimmy Par
rish’s farms last week. These
jobs were staked by SCS tech-!
nicians after the farmer hadj
contacted the SCS office and)
scheduled a date to do this)
work. Both, of these jobs w-ere
planned in 'a basic soil and wa
ter conservation plan by the/
farmers in 1961. These basic;
conservation farm plans were j
made after the farmer had re-
quested help from the Albe
marle Soil and Water Conser
vation District in developing a
complete plan for their farms.
To receive this assistance a
farmer must apply to his local
district supervisor for assistance
and then his application will be
processed along with others that
have made request. Supervisors

Land Use Study
Reveals Impact
Os Urbanization
Over Million Acres
Annually Taken
From Farms
An insight into the impact of ij
(population and economic growth I]
jon the physical face of America I
|is provided by the U. S. Depart-1
jment of Agriculture in a now
study of the trend of the major
land uses in the United States. !
■ The figures show .a steady
;shift, of more than a million
.acres annually, an area close to
the size of the Slate of Dela- 1
ware, out of farmland and other)
open country over recent years
into the living, working and
' transportation space demanded
by an expanding urbanized and
industrialized society.
, As a result, the total of land
in such uses—urban areas, high
ways and roads, airports and,
railroads—added up to more than
52 million acres in 1959 as)
against about 41 million acres j|
in 1950, This represents .then
conversion in the past decade of I
a territory three and one-half
] times that of the entire state of
Connecticut.
Dramatic Urban Growth
The most dramatic part of this
growth has occurred in the na
tion’s urban areas, which have I
been spreading out at the rate
of over a half million acres a I
year and which now encompass |
an area of more than 27 million I
acres, bigger than all of Ohio
j It is in these cities, suburbs and I
I outlying fringes that seven out I
of every ten Americans now |
live, more tHan 125 million in I
the count of the 1960 census. I
And it is into these areas, too, J
that the predominant part of the ]
people’s savings in their thrift I
institutions have been flowing as I
investments to help build the I
homes and schools for an ex- |
panding population, .the Indus- |
trial and business complexes, j
and the shopping and distribu- I
lion facilities that are the basis I
of the country’s strength and |
that have been the dynamic ele- I
ment in our ec6nomy. j
In fact, urban growth has I
reached the point where the I
giant supermetropolis is taking I
Over Tight
To k««p Miner egg

shape. The Census Bureau
points one along the Atlantic j
seaboard, covering ten states!

and containing over a sixth of j
the nation’s population. The be- j
ginning of two others is seen in j
other par.ts of the country, one :
from Chicago down toward St. |
Louis and the other in the Los i
Angeles-San Diego area.
Still Wide Open Spaces
But as far as the facts and
figures are concerned, all this j
urban growth and the changes j
that have accompanied it have!
made little more than a dent in j
our bountiful heritage of “leb- j
ensraum.” The land area of the
continental United States alone
is 1.9 billion acres, according to
the Department of Agriculture.
Practically 60 per cent of this is \
still land in farms. A third of |
the entire country remains for- j
ested. Thus America still re- 1
