N. C. Farm Income Is Up For
Months Of Y e a r

Haleigh — NnVl li Carolina
farmers are running well ahead
of last year in cash receipts from
their 194(1 marketings.
Moyle S. 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.

came known to folks in every
part of the United States.
After settling here, becoming
publisher .of the Fountain Inn

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

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.
