The little farm ain't what it usto be. Specifically, it's bigger. Quite ; bit bigger and growing all the time Big time farming received added impetus during the war. That's the report from the Agriculture Department. The Department has all sorts of statistics on this trend. For ex ample: 1 . The average farm is now 50 acres larger than 25 years ago and 20 acres larger than five years ago. Impossible To Get Million Homes WASHINGTON (TP) Housing Expediter Frank R. Creedon's staff has told him that the estimate of 1,000,000 new homes to be started in 1947 mentioned by President Truman and predicted by other otticials is far too high. No more than 825,000 can be be gun even if Congress continues Federal controls and financial aids in full force, says the report, and only 750,000 if they are dropped. These figures include trailers and remodeling jobs as well as houses 9 :c e Haywood Electric Membership Corporation Years Has Mechanized 2. Today over half the farm land is in farms of more than 500 acres, compared to only a third of all farm land in 1920. 3. Farms of more than 1,000 acres now account for 40 percent of the farm land compared with less than 25 percent in 1920. Why the increase? Mostly, it's mechanization, farm experts agree pointing out that it was just 100 years ago this year that Cyrus MeCormick came to the mid-west and opened his mechani cal reaperoplant on thd north side of the Chicago river. Since then, the industrial revo lution has been catching up with agriculture. Walter Carver, agriculture eco nomist for the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, Says that it's more economical to operate the large farm. THEY STILL SELL THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE, TOO STAUNTON, Va. (AP) A stranger entered Hill's Restaurant, handed a package to a clerk, said the proprietor had ordered it and that the charge was $10.50. The clerk paid and put it aside. When the puzzled proprietor opened it later it contained a brick a brok en one at that. and apartments. Mr. Truman declared in his ec onomic message to Congress that 1, 000,000 new homes could be built this year. But the report of Cree don's staff says higher costs, ma- THE WAtNESVTLLE Sen. Hoey Backs Aid To Balkans United Nations Not In Position To Act Quickly, Solon Says WASHINGTON Senator Clyde R. Hocy of North Carolina declar ed that suggestions that the Presi dent should have presented the Greek problem to the United Na tions fails to take into considera tion the practicalities of the case. "To begin with it is an impera tive matter that must be settled quickly." said Senator Hoey. "The United Nations is now considering the problem of Germany and war reparations and there are other matters ahead on the U. N. agenda. There would be no chance for early consideration and determination under these conditions." Senator Hocy also expressed the opinion that if the problem had been presented to U. N. we could scarcely hope for Russia to give approval when it is the general understanding that Russia has secretly been giving aid and com fort to Communistic forces in Greece and Turkey. "In the third place," said Sen ator Hoey, "what Greece and Tur key need is money and the U. N. has no money. Therefore, if relief is to be furnished to these nations in time to save them it was incum bent upon the President to bring the problem directly to Congress." Senator Hoey emphasized that it is now the duty of Congress to meet the situation without undue delay. The North Carolinian be lieves assistance to Greece and Turkey will be the best security against war that we can have and it is the most practical way to serve the cause of peace. He regards the President's mes sage as the assertion of a positive policy on the part of the United States to carry into effect our pre vious International compacts to protect small nations from the con trol and domination of any other nations that woulj be overrun and whose right to govern themselves would be destroyed. With reference to the financial MOUNTAINEER Home Agent Describes Nancy Poston's Successful Work In Two 4-H Clubs Dealers May Ask For Adjustments On Sugar Now Sugar wholesalers and retailers may now apply for adjustments of their allowable inventories, William Linehan, OPA Branch Sugar Direc tor, said today in Raleigh. These adjustments, Linehan dis closed, became effective on March 14. 1947, and are being made be cause the higher levels of rations effective after April 1, 1947, and the use of 10-pound consumer stamps instead of five-pound stamps make it necessary for wholesalers and retailers to have larger inventories so that they may satisfactorily fulfill the demands of their customers. OPA's action provides for an ad justment of 10 percent in the al lowable inventories of wholesalers; 30 percent for chain retailers oper ating four or more stores register ed together; and 40 percent for other retailers. Linehan stated applications for adjustments of firms in North Car olina must be filed on OPA Form R-382 with the Sugar Branch Of fice.

The initial aid asked by the Poesident is $400 million. "We should not try to an ticipate now what course to pursue next year or thereafter," said the senior senator. "The Greeks are industrious, frugal, and resourceful." he said. "If given the opportunity to work and the materials with which to work I believe they will soon be able to support themselves."

Since she first started in 4-H ciub work four years ago. this has been the motto of Nancy Poston, Haywood county club girl. By believing thus, Nancy has in deed become an outstanding club member, not only in project aactivi ties, but also in leadership, reports Helen M. Smith, assistant home agent for the State College exten sion service. In 1943, her first year of club work, Nancy became secretary of the Cruso 4-H club and took a leading part in all club activities She entered both the dairy foods team demonstration contest and dress revue contest the following year, winning first place in both contests in her local club. With her, teammate, Betty Jo Gorrell, Nancy entered the county dairy foods eon test. Betty and Nancy were select-J cd as county winners with their' demonstration on "milk drinks' and entered the district contest held in Asheville. receiving Hold pins for their entry. The same year, Nancy changed schools and became a member of the Bethel 4-H club, of which she ! was elected president. In 1946, she ! and her teammate were local and county winners in the dairy foods contests, and Nancy was local and 1 county winner in the dress revue contest. She was also elected pres ident of the 4-11 county council. ! From this progress, says Miss Smith, it's about time Nancy chang ed her motto to: "Nothing succeeds like success!" !
