This and many other important changes in the state's agricultural picture are reflected in a prelim inary report of the 1954 Census of Agriculture issued by the Bureau of the Census, U. S. Department of Commerce. The number of North Carolina farms is listed at 267,906 in 1954 as compared with 288.508 in 1950. Total land in farms is shown as 18,260,346 acres in 1954 and 19, 317,937 acres in 1950. What happened to the million acres of farm land lost to North Carolina agriculture? While no explanation is offered by the Census Bureau, it is reasonable to assume that much of it was di verted to other uses through the expansion of cities and towns, the development of new semi-urban communities in rural areas, new highways, and the location of many new industrial plants in the country. The average size of farms changed only slightly ? from 67 acres in 1950 to 68.2 acres in 1954. Strange to say, both large farms and very small ones in creased in number. Farms of less than 10 acres increased from 28, 437 in 1950 to 34.479. while the number of farms of 1.000 acres and more climbed from 598 to 695. The shrinkage in farm numbers occur red in the size brackets between 10 acres and 259 acres. The decline in the number of farms entailed a corresponding loss of farm operators ? 20.602. The number of full owners drop ped from 142,085 to 128.244: but the number of part owners in creased from 35,422 to 40,331. The proportion of tenancy drap ped from 38.3 percent in 1950 to 36.9 percent in 1954, when the total number of tenants was 98, 819. The number of croppers drop ped from 57,457 to 49,722. Although the average size of North Carolina farms gained only slightly, their average value, in cluding buildings and land, rose considerably?from $6,490 in 1950 to $8,105 in 1954. Reduced to an acreage basis, this amounted to $98 65 in 1950 and $128 13 in 1954 Other interesting information gleaned from the preliminary cen sus report of North Carolina agri culture Included: The number of artificial ponds on farms had climbed to 21,740 in 1954. Tarheel farmers reporting tele phones nearly doubled in number between 1950 and 1954. The fig ures were 23,347 in 1950 and 45, 120 in 1954. Home freezers on farms rose from 16,154 in 1950 to 59,598 in 1954. The possession of television sets was reported by 70,560 farm homes. Piped running water was re ported in 128.110 farm homes. Ownership of 125.465 tractors on 104.644 farms was reported in 1954. as compared with 73.534 tractors on 62,666 farms four years earlier. On the other hand, the number of horses and mules drop ped from 352.133 to 236.800. Drunk Tests Costly MONMOUTH. lit (AP? ? Those Intoxlmeter tests police give to Inebriated motorists are costly.
