Dr. Yoder Gives
Data on Farming
Dr. Julian Yoder, member of
the geography faculty at Appa
lachian State Teachers college,
haii just returned from a meet
ing of the Southeastern District
Association of American Geo
graphers which was held on the
University of Georgia camp 113 at
Athens last week.
The meeting theme was "Reg
ions Within the South" and Dr.
Yoder gave a paper entitled
"Agricultural Adjustments in
the Mountain Counties of North
Carolina, 1900-1945." Dr. Yodels
paper was one of some length,
and he made a mimeographed
abstract to hand to all members
of the Association.
The paper on the mountain
counties revealed a number of
interesting facts for the time
studied. A few of these follow:
In 1899 the seventeen counties
firoduced 6,305 acres of potatoes,
n 1945 the acreage had increas
ed to 16,860. Burley tobacco,
grown since about 1915, showed
2,280 acres in 1919, and 12,905 in
1945. Farm income from tobacco
in 1945 was about $8,000,000.
In 1919 there were only 1,185
acres of vegetables, excluding
potatoes, grown for sale. In 1945
there were 16,046. Acreage plant
ed in corn hai decreased since
1899 from 297,078 to 167,332 in
1945. Wheat has declined from
78,389 acres in 1899 to 8,579 inl
1945.
In 1899 there were 136,239
cows, of which 48,521 were list
ed as dairy cows and 87,718 as
beef animals. In 1945 there was
a total of 181,532 with 76,320
listed as dairy animals and 105,
212 recorded as beef. Thus, dairy
cows have increased from 36 to
42 per cent of all cows produced.
The Improvement in the quality
of the livestock is considerably
more inportant that the increase
in numbers.
Sheep have declined from 108,
176 to 22,196 in 1945; and ho$s
have declined from 143,582 in
1899 to 53,274 in 1945.

look at a new license plate the

legislature for use on public
vehicles. It has black figures on
a white background which glows
at night to outline the figures.
The new plate, which is made
of aluminum, was shown to the
