SECTION TWO- QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT NICKELS FOR KNOW HOW ELECTION Question: What is Nickels for Know-How ? Answer: It is a program by which farm people contribute to agricul tural research and education a nickel per ton of feed and fertilizer they buy. Question: Why ’s there such a program? Answer: By the fall of 1950.! North Carolina farm leaders recog-j nized that state, federal and private j contributions were not adequate to support agricultural research and educational needs of the state. It was accepted as fact that an increased research and educational program was the way to improve the state’s low per capita farm income and solve many mounting farm problems. These leaders asked the 1951 Legislature for . an enabling act to hold a referendum j in which farm people would decide whether or not to participate in the Nickels’ program. The Legislature gave the State Board of Agriculture I authority to call for such a vote every j three years upon petition of the gov-1 erning boards of the N. C. Agricul - ( tural Foundation, the N. C. Farm Bu reau and the State Grange, which was accomplished in 1951 and again earlier this year. Question: When was the first vote held ? Answer: November 3. 1951.

Answer: Are you for or against! “adding 5 cents to the price of feed | and fertilizer for a period of three s years for supplementing an expand ■ing .agricultural research and eduoa-j tional program in North Carolina?” This is substantially the same ques tion that will be asked again this year. 1 Question: What was the result of the first vote? j Answer: 68,28.3 in favor of Nick els for Know-How: 7.088 against. Question: Will a simple majority continue the Nickels’ program? Answer: No, two-thirds of those voting must approve, or Nickels for Know-How will end. Question: When is this year’s.

George Washington Carver, the, great Negro scientist, once told of a man in his community who kept a mule so lean and hungry that it could scarcely stand. One day when this fellow drove his mule to town, the animal was observ ed wearing a new straw bonnet. “Well, Uncle Mose,” someone ob served, “your mule would be much better off with less millinery and more oats.” TWINS BORN Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Davenport an nounce the birth of twin boys, born Sunday morning, August 29, at 11:30 o’clock in Chowan Hospital. The boys weighed 8 pounds, six ounces and five pounds, 11 ounces.

Even when he could afford better, 1 Franklin dressed and ate simply, to earn the esteem of associates. Today, we have reversed the thinking of Franklin’s day. Men are judged more by the elegance of the bonnet on the mule than on the health of the mule. Perhaps that is why so many human “mules” collapse and die at an early age. The simple, sound practice of feeding the mule is forgotten. , We tie on a new bonnet and race for a new show-piece to parade before our neighbors.

This means a growth of about 22.1 million above the present labor force, and is an indication of the great growth that this country can expect. In citing this potential growth in ' the labor force, it was emphasized that a proportionate increase in our real per capita income may be ex . pected “if our economy continues to provide incentives for people to pro duce, to invent and to devise better ways of providing the increased goods and services our growing population will require.”
