SECTION TWO—] Farm Receipts hi ’53 Down Somewhat In North Carolina State Ranked Fourth Ii Cash Receipts From Oops Farming in North Carolina yielded somewhat lower cash receipts last year than in 1951 and 1952, reflect ing a nationwide trend. Tar Heel cash farm receipts came to 94 per cent of 1952 receipts, ac cording to C. W. Overman, Chowan County farm agent for the State Col j lege Extension Service. Mr. Over man, citing a recent survey of the USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Ser vice, said 1953 cash farm receipts for the nation as a whole dropped slight ly less, to 96 per cent of the 1952 re ceipts. The nation’s farmers realized a net income of $12,8 billions in 1953. Though this was 5 per cent less than the amount received in 1952 and 12 per cent less than 1951, it was 4 per cent higher than the postwar low of 1950. Income in 1951 reflected the sharply increased demand caused by the Korean War. Total cash receipts in 1953 were low er than in 1952 in 37 states, and high er in 11 states. The decreases ranged from less than 1 per cent in North Dakota to 26 per cent in Nevada, while increases ranged from less than 1 per cent in Pennsylvania to 20 per cent in Mississippi. North Carolina ranked fourth in cash receipts from crops in 1953, with farmers getting $672,434,000. Tar Heel farmers received $211,636,000 from livestock, placing North Caro lina 23rd among the livestock pro ducing states. Total cash receipts— livestock and crops—amounted to $884,070,000 in 1953. The $884,070,-; 000 makes North Carolina the 12th ranking state in cash receipts from farm marketings. N. C.

Yet many parents become seriously alarmed when baby i discovers the pleasures of thumb sucking. It is a pleasure to him.

Only in the last century did physicians, dentists, and parents •.begin to worry about it.

Anxious mothers pulled the comforting thumb out of baby’s mouth 20 times a day, put mittens on his fists, or painted horrid tasting sub i stances on the offending thumb. | Recently, however, the old bugaboo ' has been losing much of its terror. I Most experts doubt that any perman ' deformity results as long as the habit : is given up by five years of age.

Most persistant cases seem I to result from boredom, fatigue, or' unhappiness. The doctor can advise what the child needs to help him break the habit. Parents will find that thumb-suck-, ing will rarely continue beyond the normal time if the baby feels loved and safe. Close contact with the baby at feeding time, enough food at the! time he demands it, and affectionate handling by the parents will usually prevent thumb-sucking problems. i Tobacco Crop Geared To Available Plants If the plants are available, North Carolina’s 1954 tobacco crop should be a good one, according to R. R. Ben nett, State College extension tobacco specialist. Bennett believes that growers will 'get prices almost as good as those re [ reived last year. A lot will depend on ! the quality of plants they start with. | Bennett says that water is the most j important single factor in producing tobacco plants: it is particularly im portant on dry, dusty days, j Bennett savs if tobacco growers ex- Ipect to continue to enjoy the domes I tic and foreign demand for their pro i duct, they must produce quality leaf ] that cannot be matched anywhere in I the world. “And they must produce Cpx 666 0« IMUTS-SAMI NUT Kim t it efficiently.” I This is necessary, according to Ben -1 nett, if North Carolina is, to compete in the foreign market, which buys 10 per cent of the state’s flue-cured crop, j Tobacco companies are stressing the fact that they are looking for ripe to bacco, relatively low in nicotine, and sorted so the company can do its own blending, Bennett says. | To meet this demand, growers must put quality into their tobacco; tr.ong plants now will partly accomplish the job, Bennett declares. i j To have what we want is riches, but to be able to do without is power. . i' —George Macdonald.
