North Carolina Needs Better Balanced Farming (BULLETIN: The following article is reprinted from the lat est issue of the University of North Carolina News Letter.) Space does not permit a lengthy discussion of agricultural needs in North Carolina. The State College of Agriculture, chiefly through its Extension Service, and the State Department of Agriculture, both separately and cooperatively, are constantly pointing out our agri cultural strength and weakness and are spending millions of dollars each year in efforts to improve ag riculture and rural life. There are many fine things already present in North Carolina's agriculture. Tre mendous gains have been made in the state in the past and gains will continue to be made. Briefly, it appears that the chief remedies lie in the following areas: In the first place, better farming ahd better living and better citizen ship would result from further in creases in the percentage of farm operators who own their homes and farms. This is true especially for the tobacco and cotton belts, where the great bulk or tenancy occurs and where the results of tenancy are chiefly found, such as the lack of livestock, food crops, and gar dens. In other words, there is the lack of a balanced agriculture and true farming. Cropping is not farming in the better sense of the word. Cropper tenants are not farmers. They are choppers. They are not agriculturists. They are principally a substitute for hired labor. Some tenancy is desirable and indispensable. There is too much farm tenancy in eastern North Carolina. It is not likely that North Caro lina will rank much better in farm income per farm until our farms somehow or other increase in size. For the last several years our farms have ranged from 65 to 68 acres in size. Apparently we have reached the irreducible minimum. Through out the United States the size of farms is on the increase and has been for a number of years. North Carolina farms have steadily grown smaller, until the present size was reached some 15 years ago. Since then there has been little or no change. This, seemingly, is almost an irremediable situation. Suppose the 100.000 smallest farmers of the state should move to town or some, how or other' should disappear Suppose the land that they now cul tivate should be taken over by the remaining two-thirds of our farm ers. The cultivated acreage of the 170,000 remaining farms would increase by only six or seven acres. North Carolina would still rank near the bottom in size of farms both cultivated or total acres. If the premise that larger farms are necessary for better in come and better living, then the possibility of achieving these larg er farms looks rather remote. Some gain might be made from clearing more land and thus adding to the cultivated acreage, yet when it is recalled that there has been no In crease in the total cultivated acre age of North Carolina in the last 100 years, it is unlikely that there will be any significant increase in the immediate years ahead. A third remedy lies in achieving a better balance between crops and livestock what Dr. Clarence Poe calls 'Two Arm Farming." Gains are being made in this area but vast improvement must be made before even reasonable balance is achiev ed. It is not recommended that North Carolina become primarily ? livestock state. It i, likely thai crops will continue to dominate livestock, especially so long as to bacco occupies the enviable posi tion thaMt now occupies jixj has occupied for a number of years Unfortunately, there is no rela tionship between tobacco and live stock such as there is between most other crops and livestock. Live stock is totally independent of to bacco. and vice versa. We do have livestock resources far beyond those being utilized at the present time, Perhaps the best opportunity for additional income for farmers, for industrial development, and for re tained wealth lies in producing on the farm and in the factory a far larger share of the food consumed in North Carolina. It is almost un believable that a state so dominant ly agricultural should be so totallyj dependent upon the other state-, j for the very food that it eats. It | appears peculiar indeed that North Carolina with a farm population ratio two and a half times the aver age for the United States, with the second largest number of farms, and with the natural resources'that we claim to have, and apparently do have, should be fed by other states. We should at least feed our selves, and it appears that we could produce surpluses to send to other states. It is not claimed that we should be self-fed in all re spects. It is claimed that there should be at least a balance in the export and import of food and feed. There are many things that North Carolina must import. Food is not one of them. Barbers Protest BECKLEY, W. Va. iAPI?Local No. 975 of the Journeyman Barb ers Assn. has gone on the war path against back porch barbering in two counties. The local refers to other than full-time barbers in shops, who are handy with scissors and shears and who will cut hair on home calls in the coal fields. Families with eight or nine children can get their locks shorn at an economy-sized bargain rate and keep a barbering man busy for a good part of a day. The journeymen protest that they must take physical examina tions, submit to blood tests, obtain state and local licenses and main tain shops, while the back porch ers aren't so inconvenienced. Algeria has a 620-mile coastline facing France. Red Envoys Hit High C In Parties By JANE EADS WASHINGTON ? Dr. Howard Mitchell, conductor of the Nation al Symphony Orchestra and a select group of Washington's music lov 1 ers have been guests at the Soviet Embassy, where entertaining has been on a high-C plateau in recent months The big clambakes for the masses when hoi poloi in workaday garb drained the bars of vodka and devastated the lavish buffets, are beginning to give way to small white-tie dinners and highbrow musicales followed by very refined late supper parties. Earlier in the social season there was the recital given by Rus sia's top pianist, the talented Emile Gilels. Conductor Mitchell and some of the capital's big wigs and diplomats who never before set foot inside the embassy were among the carefully invited guests of Ambassador and Mrs. Georgi Zaroubin. The guests were en thusiastic and showed their appre ciation with applause and sincere bravos. Then there was the recital given by David Oistrakh, noted Russian violinist, who is on a tour of this country. Oistrakh, who played his Stradivarius for a little less than an hour, so enchanted the 100 guests they rushed up not only to shake his hand but to ask for his autograph and tell him they hoped he would return some day. Someone even presented the musician's very pleased wife with a huge bouquet of pink roses for her husband. Besides the ambas sadors of France. Canada. Bolivia. India. Israel and South Africa and representatives from the embas sies of several other nations, there was a sprinkling of U.S. State De partment and other government of ficials. The ambassador and his wife are also getting out to more parties and staying later. They're also seemingly becoming more clothes cosnclous. The ambassador, a handsome man. has been doffing the rather grim bemedaled and braid-trimmed black dress uniform he wore at embassy functioris for the impeccable black-and-white-tie dress customarily worn at social af fairs in Washington by other male members of Embassy Row.

We still have our mad rush of cocktail parties, but they're now six-to-eight affairs and much dres sier. Society however is veering more to the grand-bail and white tie-reception type of entertaining, with concerts, recitals, art exhi bits and gala theatrical openings increasingly popular. More" invitations are by engrav ed white cards instead of over the telephone. (I recall one hostess who used to send them by tele gram). And when they say black tie, men wear black tie and din- { tier jackets instead of business suits. When the" say white tie they put on boiled shirts and tails ind the ladles dress in the most {littering silks and satins, expen sive furs and fabulous jewels. At one spectacular ball one saw enough diamonds to light up the Washington monument. Mrs. Mer riweather Post's diamonds were magnificent but the pears ha ped emeralds accompanying them were most spectacular. Mrs, Robert Gug genheim. wife of the former U. S. ambassador to Portugal, wore dia monds that were dimmed by her 456 carat, deep blue oblong sap phire pendant said to be the world's largest. Even the Russians here are catching the spirit, giving their first formal black tie affair at the embassy since World War II. It was also the first strictly cultural affair. The widely-acclaimed pian ist Km11 Gilels. who gave an excit ing recital, was the first of his country's artists to visit the Uni ted States since 1921 The ambas sador and men of the embassy wore formal attire instead of the usual heavily - braided uniforms worn at Soviet shindigs in the past, and Mrs. Zaroubin, the ambassa dor's wife, was very elegant in a sleek gray satin evening gown top ped by a lush fox stole. Even the luncheons are getting fancier. The affair honoring Guatemala's Castillo - Armas and his wife one midday during their recent visit was a gourmet meal for 100 in the beautiful Pan Ameri can Union's Hall of the Americas, complete with four kinds of wine, and music furnished by the Air Force Symphonette.
