SECTION TWO—!
Farmers Urged To
Shoot At Bale Os
Cotton Acre In ’54
Will Serve as Cushion In
Drastic Reduction of
Acreage
M. G. Mann, general manager of the
N. C. Cotton Growers Association, has
called on North Carolina farmers to
shoot for a bale an acre in 1954.
If growers will attempt to average
500 pounds of lint to the acre, he said,
this will cushion to some extent the
rather drastic reduction in cotton
acreage under the government’s farm
program.
Average yield during the past 10
years has been approximately 350
pounds short of the 500-pound goal
Mann is urging for 1954.
Under the present law. North Caro
lina has been allotted 528,000 acres
for the production of cotton in 1954.
Last year growers planted 781,000
acres, yet because of poor growingj
weather, the 1953 harvest has been I
estimated at 453,000 bales, an aver-j
age of only 280 pounds of lint to
the acre.
The year 1952 Was considered more j
normal. Mann said. Then growers 1
harvested 569,000 bales from 745,000
acres and received from both lint and
cottonseed an income of $118,000,000.
Income during the year just closed
was only an estimated $85,000,000. I
“With the sharply cut acreage this
year.” Man went on, “it is possible
that our income from cotton this year
can drop as low as $60,000,000 or only
about half of that of 1952.
“However,” he continued, “if we
could produce a bale an acre on every
one of the 528,000 acres allotted, our
cotton income would almost equal that
of 1952 and would be well above last

“A stitch in time saves nine,” or
“An ounce of prevention ic worth a |
pound of cure.” In no field are these
proverbs more applicable than in that
of dental health—especially in the
matter of dental sendee and in dental
service for children in particular. The!
first adage might be paraphrased, “A I
j visit in time saves nine,” not to men-1
tion saving teeth. Munro Leaf in his.
! HEALTH CAN BE FUN says to the'
children; “If you have a dentist look i
i at your teeth twice every year, you |
i won’t have so many toothaches and 1
j Vnu will keep your teeth longer.” It j
is as simple as that, and this simple.]

ogy of this works to the advantage
of the patient and the dentist.
One of the most effective services
the dentist can render is to talk to
the parent about the child’s dental
needs and to the child about taking
care of his teeth. This is especially
important in view of the fact that fol
lowing the dentist’s advice will reduce
to a minimum the time spent in his j
chair.
Byway of summarizing we point out
the following benefits to be derived
from early and regular dental care:
1. Early detection and correction of
dental defects.
2. Preventior pf pain and suffer

3. Reduction in the cost o. dental
