Gilmore, to Leave Sunday for Europe, Explains European Interest in N. C. W. Southern Pines School News Tournament Changed The annual District Tourna ment was switched to March 17, 18 and 19, due to the unexpected weather conditions last week. The three-day dribble derby will be held in Berkley High School’s gymnasium in Aberdeen. The Jackets will play Red Springs in the opening rounds to night (Thursday) in the third I game which should start around 8:30 p. m. West Southern Pines (1959 dis trict champs) is seeking to annex its fourth straight title. If victori ous, the local five will earn the right to defend their, 1959 state title at Greensboro, in the spa cious A&T College gymnasium. Voit Gilmore,, who is taking off this Sunday, primed with North Carolina salestalk for another business get-together with some of the industrialists of Europe, believes that two things in par ticular lie at the back of that con tinent’s interest in the opportuni ties offered by the Tarheel State. These are: (1) the fact that with prosperity in England and West Germany, especially at a pitch, there is a good deal of venture capital in both Europe and Eng land available and that, like all ventures, whether in business or in anything else, it is a poor idea to keep all the eggs in one basket. With the communist menace and the shadow of possible troubles always at the back of their minds, the lure of investing capital in something a little farther away from the Old World, is strong among foreign businessmen. of such enterprise was possible and certainly, tAey thought, high ly desirable. This was the start of the plan that was presented to the gover nor and developed into the state- sponsored tour of the Tarheel in dustrialists in Europe and Britain last sum'mer. Now some of the same people are going on a fol low-up tour of the same ground. An office will be set up in Zurich' with William Kirk, assistant tj William P.

FIELDS Manager, Moore County Agricul tural StcUoilization and Conserva tion -OfJice I know that it is not necessary to emphasize the importance of agriculture to the economy of Moore county. But there are many people to whom the im portance of agriculture in our na tion’s economy needs to be spell ed out. Yes, agriulture is vital to Amer-ica.'Believe it or not, agri culture is the biggest buyer, sell er and borrower in the United States. When farmers have the ready cash with which to make necessary purchases, they buy farm supplies worth fourteen bil lion dollars every year. This is to say nothing of the purchases they make that do not fall in the cate gory of farm supplies, like auto mobiles, T. V. sets, etc. The in ventory of farmer-owned ma chinery alone is greater than the total assets of the American steel industry. In fact, agriculture’s equipment evaluation totals five times that of the auto industry and this does not include the value of land and livestock. 1 could go on with concrete ex amples of the importance of agri culture to our nation’s economy. To begin with, although farmers only make up twelve per cent of our total population, an addi tional twenty-four per cent of our population is directly employed in the transportation, processing, or otherwise handling of farm commodities. This means that, nationwide, more than one-third of our population is directly de pendent upon agriculture for a livelihood and, of course, in North Carolina the ratio is much higher because of our great dependence upon production and manufac ture of tobacco and because of our production of cotton and manufacture of textiles. Well, so much for that. I just have to expound on that subject occasionally in defense of the small amount of federal help farmers receive when compared with all other segments of our economy. One of our programs, the Agri cultural Conservation ^ogram, is termed a farm program although this is no more correct than it would be to call our defense pro gram a program for soldiers. We have just finished our initial sign-up period under the 1960 ACP. However, I would like to bring out to all farmers the fact that we can still take requests for spring practices. As of today, we have approximately 242 farms which have already requested help in establishing soil and water conservation practices that are badly needed in Moore coun ty. I think this is a good start because last year we had only 350 farms participating in the pro gram for the entire year. We are hoping this year to get at least 800 farms in the program. We are continually trying to get new farms in the program since the obective of our conservation program is to encourage conser vation that would not otherwise be accomplished and to make farmers conservation - conscious to the extent that eventually cost share assistance will not be nec essary.
