N.C. Farm Bureau Federation
The American farmer and his
family already show the effects of
the farm-city blending that has
been in progress over the past
several decades. They live and dress
like their city counsins. The farm
family is exposed to many of the
same influences that affect the lives
and living conditions of city people.
Nowadays the "City Limits" sign
is only a geographical marker.
Socially, educationally, economi
cally and culturally there is a
gradual fusing of the two groups.
Considering the present mobility
of people and modern comniunica
tion methods, this fusing and
blending arc likely to continue at
an even faster rate in the future.
Farm-City Week. November 18
24. is designed to focus on the
interdependence of the two seg
ments and help each gain a better
understanding and appreciation of
the other. Theme for this year's
observance is "Partners in Econo
mic Progress." through which the
National Farm-City Council hopes
to develop a basic understanding
among all people of the roles of
land, labor and capital in the
scheme of things.
Individual farmers now have a
bigger investment per worker than
do most businessmen in town and
that ratio may widen further. In
fact, farmers will continue to have
bigger investments in land, build
ings and machinery, use more
capital, more management know
how. more automated equipment
and more computer services.
Farmers must continue to
manage their operations on a
strictly business basis, using many
of the same economic tools as their
counterparts in town.
As fewer farmers become the
source on whom more and more
people rely for their food and fiber,
each farmer is increasingly im
portant in the life-sustaining func
tion. thus be needs the understand
ing of those whose actions directly
affect his welfare.

FALL LEAVES
CAN BE A WINDFALL
I Fall leaves can be a windfall in
, more ways than one. The 1977 leaf
'? crop can be most beneficial, if you
:? do a little planning ahead.
k
ir Most of us look on tailing leaves
^ as a disposal problem. We usually
> burn the leaves or either send them
T away with the garbage. But the
| same leaves that are a nuisance to
5 us this fall can be excellent compost
> next year. All you need is a bin or
> wire or some scrap lumber tucked
away at the back of your lot and
you arc in business.
Raking and hauling leaves is
OK. but you will find that a power
mower with a grass catcher will do
a pretty gtxid job of shredding the
leaves and blow ing them into a bag.
This can save a lot ot' raking, but it
won't work it the leaves arc thick.
For more detailed information
abut composting and mulching for
homeowners, contact the Soil
Conservation Service located in the
post office building, room number
202 or call at 875-81 1 1 .
