C. ~ AliMMgitiii, j II ■ .limin.on.fr discussed what might be done in the way of planning for improved agri cultural practices and maintenance of farm income in 1948. If farmers operate under present peanut allotments and the present proposed 28% cut in tobacco allot ments, Chowan County will have proximately 3,000 acres of land com ing out of these crops and from these crops the gross income for 1948 will possibly be cut 15% or more. Fred Sloan, program planning spe cialist, told the group that people in North Carolina consumed only half as much. milk as the average person in the United States, and yet we annu ally produce 80% of the milk we use. “We eat only half as much meat per person as does the average Ameri can,” said Mr. Sloan, “and yet we : don’t produce all the meat we con- I sume. In a State whose annual gross : farm income is one-third highest in j the nation, we are faced with a short age of 400,000 tons of hay and 700,000 tons of grain this year. Our great problem is to keep our gross income high and produce our own food and feed stuff at home, thereby increas ing our net income. Since North Carolina is predominantly an agri cultural State, the quickest and surest way to raise the standard of living is i to increase tl\p annual net farm in | come.” | Agricultural Economist Pike of the State office presented charts showing the distribution of farm labor in the production of various crops. In the production of various crops there is a j labor peak at which time all available labor is used. After this peak is over, unless there is livestock on the farm and other crops, then there is a sur plus of labor which makes one crop farming an expensive operation. “We need more livestock in this • State to balance our agricultural program from the labor standpoint as well as the standpoint of economy,” said Mr. Pike. It was the opinion of the group that everything possible should be j done to encourage farmers to look at farming as a business. A most im portant part of this business is the production of an adequate supply of food and feed crops on the farm for the family and livestock. It was em phasized that there is need for a con siderable increase' in family cows and good pasturage for these cows. Home gardens should also be improved and it was pointed out that some farm families do not produce their family supply of meat. These may be ten i ants o- laborers, but it was felt that ; these families should be encouraged to come nearer producing their heme food supply. Another possibility of using some acreage to a good advantage is in in- j creasing the corn production and hogs. The Chowan group felt that a more opportune time to begin working on this problem will be in January rath er than the rush season at present. The law is reason free from pas sion. —Aristotle.

IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our dear son and brother, James Carson Stallings, who departed this life six months ago today, June 8, 1947: Sad and sudden was the call, Os one so dearly loved by all, Your memory is as sweet today As in the hour you passed away- The blow was hard, the shock severe, We never thought death was so near. But only those who’ve lost can tell The pain of parting without farewell. He little thought when leaving home That he never would return. Then he sweet in death would sleep And leave us here to mourn and weep. Always so true, unselfish and: kind, Few in this world his equal to find. A beautiful life that came to an end, He died as he lived, everyone a friend. Deep in our heart is a picture Worth more than silver and' gold. It’s a picture of you, our dear, Your memory will never grow old. If you could have lived just six months and four days longer, you would have been twenty-six years old. But we know you were bound to us for just a short while.
