CROPS^ NOTED Census Shows Hiis State To Be In Line With All Others More than a million-acre increase in North Carolina feed crops over that of five years ago is shown by the preimiary summary of the 1935 Farm Census just released by W illiam L. Austin, Director, Bureau of the Census, Department of commerce This gain covered practically all o1 the feed crops and most of the cfrpj lanted for human consumption, ant was chiefly the result of a reductioi of about 670,000 acres in cottoi jnd 200,000 acres in tobacco. Approximately 900,000 acres o: this increase is: represented by corr and hay, and about equally dividec between the two. Nearly half i million acres of wheat were harvest ed in 1934 compared with about 350,000 acres reported for 1929 Irish potatoes increased 52 percen or about 32,000 acres, and sweet potatoes 58 percent or roughly 35, 000 acres in the five-year period Notwithstanding the great change i? cash ci*ops, cotton and tobacco, J normal expansion of acreage is in cheated by the increase of crop lane harvested from 5,809,741 five year: ago to r*9C5,547. North Carolina showed a decrease of about 20,000 in the number o1 horses but little change in the num. ber of mules. To utilize the increased supply of corn, hay, ant oats, there were 217,254, or 46.c percent more cattle in 1935 than ir 1930, of which 124,753 were cows, an about 108,000 more hogs. In other principal points, the report indicates North Carolina followed the trend of the rest of the country with an increase of 7.6 percent ?r 21,259 farms, an i--crease in the land in farms of about 10 percent, but a decrta.-o in the gross value of 26 percent, of the increased number ?f farm operators, about 13,000 are lull owners, 4." 00 part owners, and less than 5,000 tenants.

MURPHY RIDES OVER PENALTIES TO WIN FRIDAY Charles Henderson dashed off SO raids "just as pretty as you please'' it Copperhill Friday afternoon and ent Wise crashing through the line or a total of seven points which constituted the only score of the game ind enabled to keep the "Boomers'* date clean for the season. Friday, Swannanoa, with an enviable record, will come here to give the local boys a tough tussle. The visitors are the missing element, so to speak, in the Murphy high schedule, and what kind of power or deception they will turn on, no one knows. At least a half dozen times the durphy backs could have reached iut and carved their initials on the ?opperhill goal posts but the referee aid "no", and strode the boys off ive and 25 yards penalties to his cart's content for talking back to he referee if for no other reason. But the Murphy boys didn't give ip. They hit the line, raced the ends, ised spinners and passed to keep rithin Copperhill territory and held rhen on the defensive. Then Charley took the ball skirtd out around end, shifted and twistd his way through the secondary nd lit out through the dusty Tennesee field for the only touchdown of he day. Hayes Leatherwood played a fine lefensive game for Murphy.
