OFF BALANCE "Livestock has been the traditional balance wheel 1 in the national food economy." Thus state two leading ' agricultural authorities, Doctors Herrell DeGraff and ' Karl Butler, n a paper presented at the Sixth National Institute of Animal Agriculture. ' They make the point that we do not use our crops for direct human food in the Oriental fashion. Instead, we largely convert them into meat. In the early 1950s we characteristically fed to livestock about three-quarters of our total harvested tonnage of all crops, in addi . tion to the forage produced on pasture and range. The significance of this is vividly indicated by an-, -other statement Doctors DeGraff and Butler make; 4'Over the past 35 years, during which so-called surplus . es have been almost chronic, a modest two per cent increase in livestock would have eliminated all of the crop quantities that were called surplus." - That brings up an inevitable question: "Why then is not greater livestock production the answer to our ' present surplus situation? The answer to this is com pleK, and has numerous aspects. But, as these author! . .ties show in their extensive discussion, a main barrier has been the government's high price supports for grain and the other so-called basic crops. These supports, by minimizing the farmers' risks, stimulated the produc- "... tion of supported commodities and the greater surplus lollowed. ' To quote them again, 'Livestock producers have been the innocent victims of problems growing out of continued wartime price supports on the basic crops. The traditional balance wheel has been artificially forc ,d off balance. 1 : ' v ... ( . tt i " r - : ' ''''It '.'. : '" ' "..'-J r ,-, . '-... .

Mr. bhulsky then Drovides a well-rpasnnpH Every family has its own special financial problems, needs, prospects and responsibilities, and these vary widely. They must, be taken into full consideration i. wnen considering stock purchases. In every case, basic requirements ana protections, such ps adequate insur t ance, have prior claim. Once a decision to buy stock is made, another ques tion arises. Are vou most interested in safetv of nrinpi. ; ple or do you want to run a risk in the hope that the value of your stock will show a big growth? Your an swer to this and related questions will naturally de termine the kind of stock you choose. The next step is to visit a reliable broker and that worn rpnaDie is all-important. Don t be one of the suckers who fall for the blandishments of tipsters and mgn-pressure telephone salesmen.; Reliable and repu table brokers deal in facts, and they do their best to tai lor their proposed programs to your situation. Finally, Mr. Shulsky urges you to remember that there s no need to rush. Investigate fully before you move. His last paragraph reads: "To sum up: You worked hard for that money. Now that you've decided to invest it, don t act as though you were at a charity raffle." 3 a a 1 III iPiiif1.JulilJ-'.K,..Ajlilt'fcli r- a. 1 ' Z it t jj A LJ.: jL2: See hew fht regular u of Chilean Soda eomdi addHy and maintains favorable pit (ln).

Here, briefly described, are those goals: 1. To por tray the key role that medical education plays in the maintenance of the nation's health and security. 2. To explain how our 82 medical schools are striving to meet the demand for a larger number of physicians and at the same time maintain high standards. 3. To call at tention to the steady progress in the medical sciences, showing what this means in terms of longer life, better, health, and greater freedom from disease and disability. 4. To point out the wide range of activities, such as teaching, research, service and leadership, the schools' carry on in addition to the job of training new doctors.! 5. To make clear the extent and nature of the new challenges to the medical profession, resulting both from our constantly expanding fund of knowledge and from the mounting complexity of our civilization. 6. To point out some of the steps being constantly taken to push back the horizons of medical science "in every field. President Eisenhower, in endorsing the observance of Medical Education Week, said: Each American has a personal stake in the country's medical schools. The schools . . . are a vital resource for the health of our people and the strength of the nation." Keep that in mind when April 21 rolls around. State-Wide Water Inventory In North Carolina Slated To Start April First The scheduled state-wide inven tory of North Carolina's water pro blems is s'ated to- get under way the first week in April, according to W. H. Riley, executive secretary of the State Board of Water Com missioners. Riley said the grass roots study will he conducted on a Congression al Dist'ift basis with the prograr being initiated at one-week inter vals in each ofthe state's 12 Dis tricts. Due to us oentral location, the Fourth District has been selected for the first series of meetings. Rep resentatives of the seven counties in the district will be asked to meet in Raleigh on April 3 to hear an explanation of the inventory pro cedure and to receive material that will be needed by the county com mittees in conducting the actual in ventory meetings. Counties to be represented in clude Wake, Vance, Randolph, Nash, Johnston, Franklin and Chatham. This same type inventory will spread to all counties, including Le noir, Duplin, Wayne, Greene, etc. Following the meeting in Raleigh the representatives ' will return to tccx re ts:s t.ii-53 c:j t::j caci .. 1$ ML their respective counties and form committees that will be responsi ble for carrying out the Inventory. These committees, composed of re presentatives from industry, agri culture, the municipalities and oth er water using groups, will be allot ted approximately one month to complete their studies. ' All efforts of the county groups will be directed at staging a single public meeting at a central location within the county. Every citizen or organization with a problem involv ing water supply or water use will be asked to attend this meeting and report the nature of the problem. Each of the county committees will forward its list of reported problems to the Board of Water Commissioners for cataloguing and appraisal. . v The reports from throughout the state will reveal which problems are state-wide, which are sectional and which- are unique. By compar ing the problems with existing wa ter laws, the Board will be able to determine which problems are adequately covered and which are not This knowledge', combined with the Board's knowledge of water re sources and water use, will pro vide a basis for long-range water conservation planning. One week following the meeting of Fourth District county represen tatives in Raleigh, a similar meet ing will be staged in the First Dis trict, probably in centrally locat ed Washington County. The remain ing 10 Congressional Districts will be, reached in numerical order with the final district meeting being held on June 17. The entire study should be completed by mid-July. County Boards of Commissioners are being asked to assist in the in ventory by selecting the county rep resentatives to attend the district meetings', According td General J. R. Town send of GreensbC.ri. chairman of the Board of Water CoriTUlssioners, public participation in the Inven tory, is essential to its success. 'The people of Nortn Carolina must realize,' Townsend said, 'that knowledge of the problems we face is the basic ingredient in effective long - range planning. Our Board has compiled a tremendous amount of information on the quantity and quality of the state's water sup ply. At the present time we are systematically gathering data on how that supply is being used by our municipalities, our industries and our farmers. In order to com plete the picture we must now be come intimately acquainted with the problems the people are experienc ing in connection with water sup plies and water use. 'Nrrth Carolina is blessed wlthjan abundance of water. Yet, we. are faced with increasing numbers of shortages and other types of emer gencies. !'"...less some action is tak en toward curbing this threat, the entire economy of the state could be adversly affected in the fore seeable future. The inventory we are undertaking will greatly in lluance our efforts to meet this growjng threat. Enthusiastic public participation at the county level will give us an accurate picture of the problems. Tfcis will facilitate an accurate appraisal from which we fan develop effcetive solutions.' ten, fit. and Mrs. John Bell, Mr. and tin. W.
