Calling attention to the national
observance of Farm-City Week,
November 16 through 22, C. B.
Ratchford, assistant director of the
North Carolina Extension Service,
says, “There i& a great need for
better understanding between farm
and city people.”
The slogan for this second na
tional observance is “Farm and
City—Partners in Progress.” Last
year, practically every county in
the United States and many com
munities in Canada observed this
special week which serves to re
mind people of their dependence on
one another. “After all," says
Ratchford, “the city dweller de
pends upon the farmer for the first
necessity of life —food. And the
farmer depends upon business and
industry for necessary supplies
such as fertilizer and for a market
also include meetings of the Farm
Bureau Mutual Insurance Com
pany and the North Carolina
Farm Bureau Women.
The annual Farm Bureau ban
quet ceremony will be held Tues
day evening. Farm Bureau offi
cials said the banquet would be the
feature event of the convention.
The banquet will be followed by
a ceremony honoring a North Caro
lina farm leader with the Farm Bu
reau’s Distinguished Service to Ag
riculture Award. Last year, the
award went to Clarence Poe, editor
of the Progressive Farmer.
Sub-District Meeting
Is Held In Hertford
The Perquimans-Chowan sub
district of the Woman's Society of
Christian Service .held its annua)
Fall meeting Thursday, November
1, in the Anderson Methodist
Church with 73 members and eight
visitors present. The meeting was
called to order by the chairman,
Mrs. J. L. Harris with the use of
hymn “0 Master of the Waking
World.” After the devotional on-
Christian Friendship given by Mrs.
R. C. Baker of the Bethany Metho
dist Church, the president of the
Anderson Society gave all present
a hearty welcome. The guests were
recognized by Mrs. Harris and they
were the district officers, Mrs. Ed-

Farm-City Week, 1955, received
the prized Distinguished Service
Award of the Freedom Foundation,
the top award in the field of com
munity service offered in the na
tion. Again, as last year, the ob
servance is being coordinated by
Kiwanis International.
Ratchford believes that the farm
er has many unique problems be
cause of his dependence upon na
ture and weather. This in turn, he
adds, points to a need for better
understanding and communication
between the producer on the farm
and the consumer in the city.
“Farm-City Week can be a valua
ble means of bringing about a bet
ter understanding and appreciation
of the role of both producer and
consumer in our national life,”
states Ratchford.

New Record Cora
Expected In Stale
80,729,000 Bushels In
State Estimated as
Os Nov. Ist
Based upon yield reports from
growers, production from the 1966
corn crop is estimated at 80,729,000
bushels, the same as on October 1,
according to the North Carolina
Crop Reporting Service. The esti
mated production, if realized, will
establish a new record, exceeding
the previous record 1950 crop by
more than 6.5 million bushels. The
current estimate also exceeds the
1955 crop of 70,482,000 bushels by
15 per cent and the 10-year average
production of 62,535,000 bushels by
29 per cent.
Yield is indicated at 41.0 bushels
per acre, 7 bushels above the pre
vious record 1955 yield of 34.0
bushels and 12.4 bushels above the
10-year average. Reported yields
are turning out about as expected
in the Coastal Plains, some better
than was expected in the Moun
tains, and slightly less than was in
dicated on October 1 in the South
ern Piedmont. Corn acreage suf
fered considerably from droughty
conditions during the growing sea
son in the southern Piedmont coun
ties, although some acreage is pro
ducing above average yields.
The United States corn crop is
estimated at 3,412,183,000 bushels.
This is 5.3 per cent more than the
3,241,536,000 bushels produced in
1955 and is 10.6 per cent more than
the 1945-54 average production of
3,084,389,000 bushels.
