Hodges at his recent Farm Advisory Commit tee meeting made a cautious predic tion that North Carolina’s per capi ta income for 1958 will jump one or two places in the national rat ings as a result of the state’s ex pected farm income boost. “I am going to make a cautious guess that we will move up from one to two places in the per capita income scale,” he said after hear ing several glowing reports from members representing various areas of the state, A sharp drop in tobacco income last year was principally responsible for a drop in Tar Heel per capita income that placed the state 45th in the nation. The governor heard members of his farm advisory committee report that things generally are looking up, that morale of farm people generally is better than in several years. Tobacco income has risen sharply after last year’s downward plunge. Income from poultry and livestock continues to advance. Dr. D. W. Colvard, dean of the N. C. State College School of Agri culture and chairman of the ad visory committee, told the governor that figures indicate the state’s farm income has recovered most May your tree be laden with gifts of health and wealt|i^U^;-happineii.

Hodges said he was very much encouraged by the state’s economic condiflon—“more so than I-was 90 days ago.” The encouraging reports on farm income, he added, made good news because “we here in North Carolina are so terribly dependent on agriculture.” The governor also had praise for Colvard and other members o£ the State College School of Agri culture administration for their forward step in revamping the cur ricula of the school to meet rapid ly changing conditions in the farm economy. The governor said the new curriculum plan is the “most encouraging thing I have seen hap pen.” Under the new educational pro gram students may specialize in either agricultural science, agricul tural business, or agricultural tech nology, with a major in any of the various specialties.
