I Curers Must Be Board Before Being ?efisUtion Seeking Te Reduce Fire Lasses Enacted By 1947 General Assembly; Others Acta Pertain To Agriculture Industry Approximately 65 per cent of the gricultural legislation enacted by le 1947 General Assembly t*ag< ponsored, or co-sponsored, by the tate Department of Agriculture, a 5view of these laws just completed y the Department's division heads idicates. The fact that tobacco growers in forth Carolina incurred an estimated >ss of $2,000,001) last year from limed barns prompted the Depart tent and State College to use their ifluence to have written, introduced nd passed a law requiring, all heat ig units and curing assemblies for ibacco barns to be approved by the heights and Measures Division of le State Agriculture Department efore being offered for sale in this tate. The law also provides that a atement regarding the proper in allation of each unit must be de vered at the time of sale. Working with the N. C. Experi lent Station, the Department re vested that $25,000 be appropriated ? secure for this state a regional ibacco engineering laboratory. The inds were made available, and the bora to ry is under construction at ie Tobacco Experiment Station at xford.

Agriculture Commissioner W. Ken Scott regards this as potentially one of the most important pieces of leg islation adqpted this term. The housing shortage has led to the utilisation of a wide variety of building materials, with cement and cinder blocks being extensively used. The Weights and Measures Division threw its weight behind legislation designed to protect the user of these materials against inferior masonry blocks. A law now in effect prohibits the sale of cinder and cement Mocks unless they have a load-bearing strength of 700 pounds per square inch, the minimum recommended by insurance companies. The Legislature enacted into law the Department-sponsored fertiliser bill, which will provide farmers with more adequate protection through the requirement of better labeling and the further elimination of filler ingredients. As a protection to Irish and sweet potato growers, the Legislature pass ed a law making it unlawful for any one to sell or ship into this State potatoes for propagation which do not conform to standards adopted by the State Board of Agriculture. This, however, does not prohibit the sale of -potatoes for propagation purposes if the planter to whom they are sold knows the conditions under which they were produced.

The highest level of I tural employment cov Employment Security Ltw in North Caroline teined hi the fourth quarter of 1 k is announced by Oairman Henry | E. Kendall of the State Emp Security Commission. Even .the peak month of the war, August 1942, with 610,628 workers covered by th Employment Security Law, was exceeded in December, 1946, by more than 10,000 workers. Delinquents and employers liable retroactively to 1946, man Kendall also points out, will fur-1! ther increase these figures. '' That this represents an unprece dented utilization of the labor force | of the State by covered industries is | shown by the fact that the total non agricultural labor force in North Carolina as reported by the U. SI Bu reau of Labor Statistics readied 760, 000 in November, 1942, although only . 608,446 were then in covered employ < ment, representing a coverage of | 80.1 per cent; whereas, in December, < 1946, with a total non-agricultural \ labor force of 754,000, 82.8 per cent { were in covered employment. The number of employers has in- J creased at an even more rapid rate. ' The increase in the non-agricultural i labor force from December, 1989, to \ December, 1946, was 22.6 pec cent, j The increase in covered employment during this period was 38.2 per cent. It is estimated that approximately 100,000 of the 754,000 non-agricultu ral workers are in government and non-farm domestic service which is not protected by the Employment Security. Law. Of the remaining 654,000, it appears, therefore, that 95 per cent have protection against enforced idleness by the Employment Security Law. Chairman Kendall points out that I the remaining 5,per cent includes a] large number of self-employed and j ? 1 m v , professional worker who are also ex eluded from coverage. The only I< reason that the remaining industrial J workers, estimated at less than 26,- < 000 are not covered aghinst the | hazards of unemployment, according | to Chairman Kendall, is because of 11 a provision in the State Law which does not require an employer who had fewer than eight workers for 201' weeks in the year to come under the provisions of the Law.
