NORTH CAROLINA RANKS LOW IN VALUE OF LIVESTOCK— North Carolina ranked forty-fifth in the United States last year in the value of its income from livestock, ac cording to a recent report issued by the United States Department of Agriculture. The total value of crops pro ducer! in this country in 1928 was $9,726,822,000, and the value of animal products was $6,154,884,000, or 6:;..'! per cent of the value of the crops. In twenty-nine states the income from livestock was above the national aver age and in nineteen states it was below. All the southern states were below the national average. Only two states Iowa and Kansas, ranked higher than North Carolina in the value of crops, Iowa’s crops being worth $555,275, 000 and those of Kansas being $400,628,000. North Carolina’s crops were worth $359,212,000. Iowa’s live stock was worth $574,210,000, or 103.3 per cent of its crops. Livestock in Kansas was 65 per cent of its crop value. Livestock in North Carolina was valued at $78, 705,000, or 21.9 per cent of its crops Most of the Northern and Western states have more livestock than agricultural crops, while in the south farmers depend too much upon crops for their living. In many instances the hogs, cows and chickens actually needed for family use are not kept. The farmers of Johnston county realize this year that cotton and tobacco will not assure them adequate re turns for their labor, to say nothing of interest on their investment. Farmers who have made plenty of food and feed crops this year can live comfortably through the winter, but those who have put all their time and given their attention to producing money crops this year will find it hard to buy supplies through the winter. With a short cotton crop and low prices for tobacco, many cannot meet their obligations this fall. Next year may be a good crop year and prices may be higher, but no one will make a mistake to raise his home supplies first and then grow' cotton and tobacco. There should be more livestock in Johnston county, and there has never been a better’time to begin to increase the number than now. Johnston county would doubt less not measure up to the state’s average in the value of its livestock, but we believe that in a few years, the situation will be changed. ATTENDANCE FUNDAMENTAL IN EFFICIENT SCHOOL SYSTEM— The report comes from a pood many schools that the attendance so far this year has been poor. It is true that unfavorable weather conditions have kept many of the children in the cotton patch later than usual, but most of the cotton is out now, and there should be a full and regular attendance from now on. In some districts the schools have observed, during the first weeks, a schedule which opened school early in the morning and let the children out in time to pick considerable cotton after school hours. This has no doubt helped the at tendance in those districts. Everything possible should be done by both parents and teachers to secure attend ance at school through the entire term. It is too ex pensive a proposition to build school houses and employ teachers, and then allow the children to be slack about entering at the beginning and continuing through the session. The teacher works just as hard to plan her work if she has only fifteen pupils, as if she had forty. The absent ones of that forty are the losers. It is im possible for pupils to make progress if they do not at tend regularly. Watch those who receive perfect at tendance certificates at the close of school. They stand, nine times out of ten, at the head of their class. They are sure to be promoted. Repeating grades is an expensive proposition too, and in many instances re peating grades is caused by irregular attendance. A boy or girl is more interested in his or her school work when there are no missing links in the chain of lessons to be learned. With each assignment mastered, the next becomes easier, and school becomes a joy instead of drudgery. Since this thing of regular attendance is fundamental in an efficient school system, its importance should be hoove teachers and patrons tQ.cooperate ip securing as nearly as possible a hundred per cent attendance during the entire session.
