On this new program i minantly agricultural state. I am delighted that he has accepted the appointment as County Key Banker.' The 100 County Key Bankers work as a committee to promote the numerous farm activities spo nsored by the bankers of North Carolina. The N. C. Bankers As sociation' spends thousands of dollars annually in promoting up to-date farm practices. "We spend more on our farm programs," Wily said, "then any other single activity. We believe it's a good investment for banks, as well as for the entire state." The bankers association spon sors a two-week school at State College each Feb., attended by about 150 young leaders from throughout the State. All expen- ses if the young farmers are paid by their hometown banks. The association also sponsors a two-day farm credit confer ence, at which the State's finan cial leaders study the current agriculjure picture .with faa-m leaaers. Anoiner project soon- sored by the association is land judging contest to encour age interest in soil conservation. North Carolina's banks last pyear continued to outstrip all other lending agencies and insti tutions in farm loans. More than $69 million in credit was made available to farmers by their banks. This was an all-time high in farm loans by banks. Wreck Near Grady, Marine Charged A B. F.

The Tigers little scatback David Ben ton returned the kick eight yards to the twenty - eight James Kenan then marched 72 yards to score with Blanchard scoring from the three. Quarter back Bill Straughan added the only extra point of the night and Kenan lead at the quarter 7 - 0.
