Specialist Says
'60 Farm Income
Will be Down
The squeeze it expected to be on
Tar Heel farmers in 1960. Prices
received by farmers are expected
to continue downward. Prices paid
by farmers are expected to remain
high or to increase.
Those are some conclusions
reached by agricultural economists
at North Carolina State College
after studying prospects for 1960.
Here's what Fred A. Mangum,
farm management specialist for
the Agricultural Extension Service,
has to say on the farm costs out
look for 1960:
Prices of farm machinery and
building supplies are expected to
climb n% the influence of the steel
strike is felt. Prices of used ma
chinery will likely continue high
in relation to the cost of new equip
ment.
Reflecting the influence of larger
supplies, feed prices have been
lower during the summer of 1959
than a year earlier. This lower
trend is cxpccted to continue in
1960.
Prices of feeder steers and
calvcs are expected to be lower in
1960. The trend toward lower
priced feeder pigs, lambs, baby
chick and turkey poults is expected
to continue in 1960.
Fertilizer prices in the first half
of 1959 have shown a 2 per cent
decrease from the previous year.
Prices in the coming year are ex
pected to show little change.
Policy measures aimed at con
trolling inflation have resulted in
a sharp curtailment of available
credit and the second highest in
terest rate in history.
In I960, credit for agricultural
purposes will likely be difficult to
obtain and then only at very high
interest rates.
Taxes on farm property have in
creased sharply for the past sev
eral years. Taxes on farm real
estate in 1960 are expected to equal
or slightly exceed the 5 per cent
increase in 1959.
Prices of farm land have con
tinued to rise, especially in the
South. Demand for land is strong
and there are fewer farms on the
market. This demand and price
trend will continue in 1960.
Farm wage rates in mid-1959
were 9 per cent greater than last
year. With the expected compe
tition from other segments of the
rconomy, this spiral will continue.

MCHS Chorus Sells Candy,
New Period Added to Day
By ANDREA McKNIGHT
Here we arc back in achool after
16 glorious days of feeling care
free and gay. I think being away
from school that long ruined all of
us. Now it is hard to get back into
the habit of studying again.
Just as soon as everybody got
to their classes Monday morning
they began to question their next
door neighbors. "Did you have a
nice Christmas?" "What did you
get for Christmas?" "What did
your boy friend give you and what
did you give him?"
Oh, yes, everybody was excited
over Elaine Miller's exquisite en
gagement ring. I bet there are
not five people in the whole high ,
school who haven't seen her
"rock." She is really proud of it,
but who can blame her?
But now that the Chriatmas sea
son is past, let's see what has
been happening in our school since
we have returned.
The chorus Is selling Peak's
twin-bar cocoanut 'candy at 10
cents a bar. With the money the
chorus makes on the candy, new
music, robes, etc. will be purchas
ed.
They may even make enough to
buy the chorus a new piano. Each
of the 70-odd members has 20 boxes
of candy to sell and Mr. Ralph 1
Wade, director, announced that a
prize would be given to the person
selling the most candy. I
All are eager beavers and hope i
to make a lot of money for their
organization. Won't you as stu
dents, parents, or alumni aid these
willing workers by buying a box
of Peak's delicious candy ban. I
am sure they would deeply appre
ciate your concern.
Our girls and boys basketball 1
teams played Newport in our mag- 1
nificent coliseum Tuesday night. I
There were not as many people
present as the teams would like to i
have seen, but the cheerleaders <
led the crowd in yells for our 1
teams. I
The girls lost by a score of 63-36 ;
but our boys defeated the Hawks
with a lead of 12 pointa, 60-48.
Maybe a good old pep rally ia
what the basketball teams need!
Several of the players think that |
nobody ia behind them, wanting
them to win. Good luck to them
Friday night at Jones Central.
Something new haa been added to ]
our regular day of school. We now ,
have an activity period every day
in which a certain club meets or ,
we have a study hall. This study
kail ia indeed an improvement In
our schedule and we sincerely ?
thank Mr. Lee for making this I
available to us.

Thinking Drivers Will
Guarantee Happy 19 60
Raleigh? Several f a m i 1 i e ( in
North Carolina will have a happy
new year, instead of a tragic one,
tecause the following people will
think and react normally.
Somewhere in North Carolina
during the coming dayi, these
things will happen, according to
State Motor Vehicles Commission
er Edward Scheidt.
A driver will glance at his speed
ometer, realize that he is driving
too fast for conditions, ease his
Foot off the accelerator? and be
able to stop in time to avoid hit
tins a child or elderly pedestrian.
A youngster will dart out from
a driveway or from behind a park
ed car. An approaching driver will
stop in time to avoid hitting him,
because he remembered his own
boyhood and has trained himself
to expect the unexpected from
children.
A driver will encounter deep
snow and icy road conditions. How
ever, he will be able to get through
ilfd; and on time becsuse he was
prepared with a wt of tin chains
in the trunk, and (pared 10 min
utes to put them on. He saved a
life? his own.
A pedestrian will start to cross
against the light, remember, and
wait.
A man will drink a final high
ball, realize his condition, and
hand the car keys to his wife.
A walker, about to walk on a
rural highway, will return to the
house to get a flashlight.
A driver will ask his gas pump
man to check windshield wiper
arms for adequate pressure to
kee^snow off and let him see. He
will we in time? his child run
ning to greet him.
Yen, several live* will be spared.
Several people will be with ui next
year who would not have been her*
-had theae people failed to think
and react *enaibly.
No, these things will never make
the headlines. In fact, there will
be fewer headlines, fewer "crash"
Stories to write, and fewer statia
Ics to add to the grim total of
highway deaths and injuries.
Yes, thinking can save lives. It'*
a mighty good habit to cultivate!
