Improvement In Farm Dwellings Value Of Farm Property Has Shown Impressive In crease with Many Com forts And Conveniences Added Farm property in Brunswick county is now worth piore than 53,393,000, and rural homes here and throughout the state are in the best condition in history, ac cording- to a report just released by the Tile Council of America. More than 75 per cent of farm dwellings in North Carolina and the South are in excellent condi tion or need only such minor re pairs as painting or general main tenance, the report revealed. Only 61.1 per cent were in good repair j in 1940. The report was based on Bureau of the Census surveys. ! "The rise in farm incomes and ; property values since 1940 has 'been accompanied by a great in I crease in the number of ru [homes equipped with such mod ern conveniences as electric lights, : tiled baths and showers and run Ining water," said F. B. Ortman, chairman of the Council's resi dential construction committee. Electricity, for instance, has gone into hundreds of thousands I of the nation's rural dwellings 'since 1940, Ortman noted. More | than 59 per cent of all farm homes now have electric lights, ;in contrast to 31.3 per cent in I 1940. ! More than 32 per cent of rural j dwellings in the United States to jday have running water, and 20.1 ;per cent have private baths, ac cording to the Tile Council re port. In 1940, 17.7 per cent had running water and only 10.6 per cent private baths. There are some 140 species of octopuses.

Dr. Bennett emphasised the economy and profitableness of this soil conservation work: A Service cost of only $1.63 an acre for complete soil conservation surveys, planning and land treat ment in 1947, with the farmers themselves bearing the principal expense over a series of years. He cited reports from the records of typical farmers and ranchers showing that soil conservation had Increased their per acre in come $4.90 on the average, and added: "Nearly all farmers who have adopted a complete conserva tion-farming program claim that it has increased their yields from around 30 percent to more than 100 percent." The report called attention to between 425 and 455 million acres of cropland being damaged in varying degrees by erosion and needing treatment in the next 10 to 30 years, and to additional millions of acres of range and pasture land conservation treat ment needed. Dr. Bennett also cautioned, "that the high production of re cent years was made at the ex pense of the land in many areas where efficient soil conservation work had not been done. Land damage oft his kind is still con tinuing." Creation of new districts at the rate of about 250 a year, plus steadily increasing demand for soil conservation assistance by both old and new districts. Dr. Bennett said, prevented the Ser vice's limited technical personnel from keeping up with the de mand in some districts during the year, although less than 8 percent of its employees are occupied in administrative. jobs. "We can look back on the con crete accomplishments with a great deal of satisfaction," CTiief Bennett said. "But, more import ant, we can look toward the fu ture with hope. We know now that we have a nation-wide pro gram, of soil conservation that workft-a program that, is getting the right Jdnd of permanent! con servation on the land at an ever increasing rate. What is needed is full National decision to go ahead."-.
