Billion Dollars Investedi In Real Estate Reported The life insurance companies of the country have developed a billion-dol lar investment portfolio in commercial and industrial real estate held for rental purposes, according to the In stitute of Lite Insurance. This has been almost entirely the product of the past seven years. With the acquisition cf $147,000,000 j such properties in 1953, holdings rose to $1,080,000,000 at year-end. This accounted for the greater part of the year’s increase in realty held by the life companies. Total real estate holdings of these companies at the close of 1953 were $1,944,000,000, up $126,000,000 in the year and more than twice the amount held at the close of World War 11. i Included in the holdings were $442,- 000,000 of rental housing, $430,000,000 of company home office and other company-used properties, $15,000,000 of farm properties and $21,000,000. other real estate.

Edna is the daughter of Mr. and i;Mrs. W. L. Boswell, who live on West -1 Queen Stret extended. This bright ? and charming girl was born on May 23, 1936. Her favorite likes are semi ; classical music, football, to travel, r foreign languages and, of course, her i husband, Dick. Edna’s future plans 1 are undecided, but she has one defin > ite thing on mind—to go overseas to her husband if Uncle Sam allows. 1' This is a little irregular but as I Edna is our favorite senior, I’d like to i tell you a little something about her husband. Richard E. Romine, better ) known as Dick, is a Second Lieuten ; ant in the Marine Corps and formerly , from Cincinnati, Ohio. Dick is now t enroute to California and from there t will be sent overeas. Where overseas t is not definite. All who know Dick r seem to like him and we sure do wish • he and Edna all the luck and happi ness in the world. ; For our Senior boy this week, we ; have chosen William Stacey Lamb. - Stacey, son of Mr. and Mrs. William - C. Lamb, lives at 903 North Oakum ’ Street and was bom August 27, 1936. j ■ His favorite likes are movies, dancing and all sports, especially basketball. i Stacey is a member of the Monogram I Club and has been for two years. He ! also nlays a trombone and has been a • member of our band for four years. • Stacey hopes to enter ECC in the fall. He has not yet chosen a subject in ■ which to major, but whatever he de- | • cides, we feel Stacey will make the ’ goal. o7n.~tT Ton soil 1 Reduces Productivity " ! “Every "article of topsoil carried i i away from North Carolina farm land by floods and erosion means just that much less tepsoil from which we can produce the food and fiber that will be ■ needed to clothe, house and feed our : rapidly increasing population,” says H. D. Godfrey, state ASC administra ' tive officer. | j “By just that much have the na tion’s defenses against depression, shortages, want and hunger been weakened, and the ability to meet the! needs of an advancing civilization been reduced.” Too often, says Godfrey, the erosion j resulting from a flood is looked upon i only in terms of damage to the in- j dividual farm and the loss to the in ; dividual farmer. Os even more sig-l nificance is the loss to our entire na- | tion. “Our productive land is limit-' ed. From it must come the food for ( our present population of around 161 . , million and for the 200 million we j can expect in less than a quarter cen tury. | “The gashes cut down to plow depth where the downhill rows are straight t as a string are more than just gullies !< to be filled before harvesting machin-|f ery can be used. The productive soil s that only last spring filled these fur- \ rows is gone, it is now down the creeks and rivers silting up dams and clogging waterways.” The Agricultural Conservation Pro gram provides federal cost-sharing to help farmers protect their land against the ravages of erosion, God frey explains.

Big Traffic Toll Shown In ’53 Insurance Claims Motor vehicle fatalities in 1953 re sulted in 40,000 life insurance death j claims, representing aggregate death payments of $76,000,000, the Institute ! of Life Insurance reports. Last year’s toll was 1,000 more in number of claims and $7,000,000 more in amount paid out by the life com .panies, than in the previous year. “This huge traffic toll represents nearly two and one-half times the number of policy death claims arising under legal reserve life policies from the Korean War, more than three times the amount paid under those war claims,” the Institute commented. “The insurance payments eompensat led in some degree for the financial Mosses involved in the motor vehicle deaths, but the proportions of such payments serves more importantly to (highlight the need for exerting every j possible effort to cut down the great j human waste on the nation’s high ’ ways.” ‘THE “TAR HEEL FARM HOUR” PROGRAM FROM N.

Home Office : COLUMBUS, OHIO of making better use of the Agricul tural Conservation Program than ever before, says H. D. Godfrey, State ASC administrative officer. With allotments on tobacco, peanuts, cotton, wheat and com, and with the need to shift production of a consider able amount of acreage in some of these crops, farmers have an oppor tunity to use the ACP in the seeding of gresses and legumes. In this, par ticipating farmers will not only be helping to bring production into bal ance, but they will be building re serves in the soil for future needs, according to Godfrey. The seeding of grasses and legumes is only a part of the job of effective conservation. To obtain the maximum in stands and growth, Godfrey points I out, most soils require lime, phosphate 1 and potash, and the agricultural con- j servation practices for the applica tion of these materials are an impor-1 tant part of the 1954 ACP. To help farmers use the nrogram to the best advantage, elected farmer committeemen are available in every farming community. Godfrey urges all farmers to use these men in analy zing conservation problems and in helping to select practices to meet them. Urging full use of the program to take advantage of the current conser vation opportunity, Godfrey says: Because the conservation of our soil and water resources is of such vital importance to all the people of the country, the ACP has been provided as a means of getting the job done through cooperation of the farmer and 1 the people who depend on his land for a living. Each farmer participating in the ACP should realize that 20 to 25 ‘city people’ are helping him and Ge-W I SEVEN : , STAR | |9O PrMfl 1 j | 4/5 Qf.

S. Dearstyne, head of the department of poultry science, N. C. State College. Dearstyne says, “Sometimes the poultryman waits until it is too late.” | Ranging young stock is one of the ■“very important” practices of poul- I try management. What about the fu ture of your poultry range? To have a good range continually throughout the years requires careful planning. Most ranges may quickly lose their usefulness, says Dearstyne. A two year rotation plan is desirable as a disease-prevention program if it is at all practical on the farm. Ranges of Ladino clover, alfalfa or a grass mix that will stay green and succulent under local conditions should be the aim of every poultryman, says the poultry specialist. Your county agent should be able to assist you in planning such a range, or ranges, “A good grazing crop is a money-saver and birds on range should develop vitality,” says Dearstyne. “Let’s plan ■ ahead.” Thoughts are mightier than strength i of hand. —Sophocles.
