TIME TO RUMODEL— Demolition would seem to be the only answer for this lopsided build
in? in Felixstowe, England, a true householder's nightmare. Actually, it’s designed for laughs.
The “structure" adorns the outside wall of a fun fair and is meant to attract curious visitors
to the scenes behind it.
Guideposts Listed For Success
In Food Production, Marketing
North Carolina’s future in the
production, processing and mar
keting of food products depends
upon how capable we are in fol- (
lowing 10 rules, or guide posts, i
for success in this area.
This is the opinion of four men j
who have spent many years
wprking in one or more phases of
the food production, processing or
retailing industries. They are:
George Travis, vice-president in
charge of merchandising. Nation
al Association of Food Chains; D.
W- Colvard, dean of agriculture at
N. C. State College; L. Y. Ballen-!
tine, North Carolina commission- j
er of agriculture: and W. P. Saun-!
ders, director, N. C, Department
of Conservation and Develop-;
ment.
Speaking to a group of South- i
eastern Chain Store Council of-!
ficials, the four men listed these
rules for success:
1. North Carolina food growers
and processors must take advan
tage of this state’s location near
the nation’s population centers.
One-half of the nation’s popula
tion, approximately eighty mil
lion persons, live within 500 miles
Affects EVERY North Carolina Car Owner
On and after January 1, 1958, every automobile owner must be prepared to meet the Requirements of
the new North Carolina FINANCIAL Responsibility Law.
The simplest way to meet the requirements of this law is to have adequate and acceptable Automobile Liability Insur- : J
ance. This will permit you to secure your License Plates and keep your driving privileges without having to deposit |
cash or other security.

2. Food sales are expected to
rise 50 per cent in this country
| during the next 10 years and the
j efficient food producers and pro
j cessors will be those who can
| take advantage of this expanding
market.
3. For success in this area, it is
I important to study population
\ trends. For instance, there are
in this country at present 16,000,-
! 000 teenagers between 12 and 20
i years of age. By 1964, there will
be 24,000,000 persons in this age
group, and it is expected that the
J number will double by 1970,
while the total population is
climbing only 24 per cent. Os
j present-day teenagers, nearly 5,-
! 000.000 have regular part-time
: jobs and some 9,000,000 work
part-time during the summer
months. This group possibly will
j influence food marketing success
es and failures in the future.
4. North Carolina’s prime com
modity for sale in the food pro
! ducing and processing business is
labor. This labor must be used
wisely if standards of living are
to reach the levels we wish for
Enacted to protect the public from the careless and financially
irresponsible driver, this law is designed to restrict the opera
tion of automobiles to those drivers who are financially able to
pay for bodily injuries, death or property damage which their
automobiles may cause.
In brief, the new law provides that the State Department of Mo
tor Vehicles shall revoke the registration of any vehicle unless
proof of financial responsibility is maintained. This proof of fi
nancial responsibility may be furnished in any one of the follow
ing ways:
in this present era of prosperity.
5. Present changes in North
Carolina’s agriculture may offer
■ new opportunities for food pro
i ducers and processors if ap
proached properly. For instance.
North Carolina farmers were
forced to reduce tobacco plantings
by 137,000 acres in 1957 to com
ply with control programs; and
the 1957 tobacco crop in this state
will be worth $150,000,000 less
I than the crop was in 1956. Also
I in 1957, North Carolina producers
| planted fewer acres of corn and
, fewer acres of cotton than in any
' year since 1900.
6. In undertaking any food
growing programs on a larger
scale, this state will have to com
| 7
pete successfully with other food
producing areas of the country in
! acreage yields. For instance,
j North Carolina’s present snap
bean production averages only 90
bushels per acre as compared
with a 270 bushel per acre yield
for California.
7. There may be possibilities of
industry-agriculture cooperation
in some food production areas,
just as such cooperation has made
it possible for this state to de
velop a huge broiler growing and
processing business. In less than
20 years, North Carolina's broiler
production has expanded from
fewer than 4,000,000 broilers an-
THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON. NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 21. 1257.
nually to approximately 125,000
and this state processes as many
broilers as it produces. \
8. Research in many areas of
food production, processing and
retailing will be a key to future
success. Many new techniques
must be studied and put into
practice.
9. In retailing foods, there ape
opportunities for both independ
ent merchants and the food
chains do 60 per cent of the retail
stores do 60 pe cent of the retail
food business in this country.
10. Production in volume, pro
cessing and assembling in large
quantities, and selling large vol
umes for a small margin of profit
are needed for success in the
present-day competitive market.
To make these practices possible,
food producers, processors and re
tailers must all efficiently carry
out their phases of the work.
Record Soybean
Crop Indicated
A record 8,980,000-bushel soy
bean crop forecast for North
Carolina, based on reports from
growers as of November 1, the
North Carolina Crop Reporting
Service has A crop
of this size exceeds 1956 pro
duction, the previous high, by
36,000 bushels.
Indicated yield per acre based
on condition reports is the sec
ond highest of record and is es
timated at 20 bushels. This is
in comparison with a yield of
21.5 bushels in 1956 and a 10-
year average yield of 15.6 bush

Most growers have good stands
and growth of the crop is nor

The air-condition committee of the
Edenton Baptist Church is inviting air
condition contractors who are interested
to submit bids for air-conditioning the

temperatures during October
were almost ideal for soybeans.
Frost covered the State on Oc
tober 28 and 29 and made con
ditions favorable for the defoli
ation of bean plants. With open
weather during' this month, har
vesting operations should pro
ceed rapidly.
MOLDY FEEDS POTENTIALLY
DANGEROUS TO LIVESTOCK
All moldy feeds are not poison
ous, veterinary medical authori
ties say, but until the moldy pro
duct has been tested, the wise
farmer will avoid using .if for
livestock.
Testing thirteen strains of fun
gi from moldy corn fed to pigs,
veterinary research scientists
found that eleven produced no ef
fect and two were poisonous. One
of the poisonous molds was from
Aspergillus flavus or Link, and
the other was from Penicillum

cording to the report of the tests.
If a shortage of good feed forces
the use of moldy products for
