Agriculture Needs
Reliable Figures
Any business ot considerable size
, needs reliable records of its opera- j
tions. And agriculture, the (Treat-:
est business of all, needs itdiahlc
figures ntr productions more than.
any other business, aecordinjr to i
David S. Weaves, extension service j
director.
la calling upon North Carolina’s|
.'iOO.oan inde|iendcnt producers to
rooperat” in the 1955 State Farm
Census, Weaver said “it is obvious
that, as a group they should know ,
what the facts are in the way of,
the in i 'urges and yields of various.!
crops, and the number of various
classes and types of livestock and
its Production.”
Only the medium of the State:
Farm Census has the machinery for
obtaining such information, Woav-'
or add* *l. .
“How well it serves the people
depends to a gnat extent bn its
accuracy, its reliability, and its in
terpretation,” lie said. “In carry
ing out the procedures suggested in
our united agricultural program,
there are many opportunities for
the use of data applying to the I
county, the district, and the state,
ICVeI.”
Weaver concluded; “North Car-'
olina is recognized nationally and
sectionally for its agricultural |im
gress. If we are to continue to j
capitalize upon 'the reputation we
have gained, ve must use every
known device to see that further
progress is based on tin- sound
foundation of facts.
“We feel that the increasing coni, j
plexitv of agricultural problems 1
will reijuire a better informed rural ,
population. Our opportunity lies
in informing ourselves so as to con
tinue our great program of helping ]
rural people to help themselves.” ,
MILK PRODUCTION IT
Estimated November milk pro
duction in North Carolina totaled :
141 million pounds—a record high j
for thi> month, according to the;
N. C, Crop K* porting Seryiee. The;
\ November flow showed a seasonal j
' decline of 11 million pounds from,
the October output but was 8 mil-;
lion pounds higher tlian production'
during November, I 953, and “7 mil - <
lion pounds above the 19 13,52 aver- j
age for the month.
I‘. S. milk production 'hiring,
November, estimated at S.! billion
pounds, was only a little iijioy.telast.j
year's previous record for the I
month, but was nearly 10 per cent]
above the 1948-52 November aver- 1
age.
