Williams, farm man agement specialist at N. C. State College, said that g r o s s receipts during the first nine months of the year were about $81,009,000 higher than the cor responding 1947 period. works were widely syndicated and through his writings he be came known to folks in every part of the United States. After settling here, becoming publisher .of the Fountain Inn Tribune and prosperous through his writings. Quillen put his adopted home town on the map. He erected a statute to Eve in his yard — an act widely herald ed in the press. Visitors flock ed here to view an eccentric, hut found only a mild-mannered, cultured man who never attend ed college. She was a relative of mine on my mother's side." he explained to those who inquired about the statue. The January to September to tal last year was a record $394, 0(15,000; for the same period this year the figure is $475,472,000. Livestock receipts increased slightly, from $101,725,000 to $109,507,000. Receipts from crops jumped from $292,940,000 to $365,905,000. For the nation as a whole, re ceipts from crops accounted for 40 per cent of the total and re ceipts from livestock accounted for 60 per cent. In North Caro lina, the crop percentage was 77 and the livestock percentage was 23. Williams declared that despite the increase in gross income, many North Carolina farmers received lower net incomes be cause of the increased produc tion costs. He said that “prospects for the rest of 1948 and into 1949 emphasize the importance of in creased efficiency on North Car olina farms.” In the Middle East, sheep are used primarily as a source of meat.
