Dr. H. B. James, Head, Department
Agricultural Economics, N. C.
tate College, Raleigh, said today
lat “the long-time outlook for agri
llture is good compared with its
atus during the past century.”
He spoke on “The Agricultural Eco
otnic Outlook” at the Ninth Annual
onvention of the American Plant
ood Council, at The Homestead in
ot Springs, Va.
m.’F described agriculture ns
nUmstry occupying an enviable po
tion “with its customers . . . increas
ig and its competitors . . . decrees--
ig.”
“I do not mean that the future will
ea bed of roses for agriculture,” he
dded. “But I am Optimistic about
re long-run prospects for farm poo
le. Their level of living is much
igher than it was a generation ago,
nd I feel sure they are not going to
Ilow it to return to prewar levels.
“On the positive side of the lodger,
-e have a growing population, a re
action in the number of people en
aged in farming, new technology, a
such broader knowledge of problems
nd how to solve them, increased out
ut per unit of labor, and much valu
ble experience in working together
nd in working with government in an
ffort to solve production, marketing,
nd pricing problems. These are far

time help to keep the house clean and
orderly, especially during the busy
farming season.
Plan something for everyone to do
and have confidence that they will do
their share of the work. Ask each
member of the family to hang his own
clothes and put away shoes, hats,
books, papers, magazines, and any
other articles that have been used be
fore the room gets a scattered appear
ance. (Ask an older person to take
care of the smaller ones.) Ask each
person to make his own bed before
; he goes to school or work. Ask each
one to keep the floor clean and dust
once a week.
Plan nutritious meals for the fami
ly, and save time by cooking two
meals at the same time. Plan to do
your laundry work once a week in
stead of once a month, it will be eas
ier on you and your washing machine.
Scrape, stack, wash dishes, and allow
them to drain dry. Sewing and mend
ing may be done by the 4-H Club
girl or during the slack season.
As a rule it is necessary for every
member of the family to be out on
the farm at the same time. Generally
one person is in charge of doing all
household tasks while the farm jobs
are being done by others. A family
exchange system may be worked out
where the housekeeper would ex
change places with the person doing ■
. farm jobs for, perhaps, a week or two. i
When different jobs are changed '
about, no job will become too tire- '
some. i
You may know of other simple short '
cuts which you can put into practice,
but above all, try to keep your house (
clean and orderly during the farming .

Dr. James said that “the welfare of
the fertilizer industry is tied in with
and is an integral part of the wel
fare of agriculture.” Terming ferti
lizer “an extremely important factor
of production,” he said that although
his native state of North Carolina
uses more chemical fertilizer than any
other, “at 1951 prices, it would have
'paid North Carolina farmers to use
j about twice as much ... as they did.”
“It amazes me that the fertilizer
| industry does not sell as much fer
tilizer as it would be profitable for
their customers to buy,” he said. “I
'believe more work emphasizing the
(economics of fertilizer use would bene
fit the fertilizer industry as well as
' farmers and the general public.”
