Cash receipts from farm mar
ketings and government pay
ments in North Carolina during
the calendar year 1958 amounted
to $1,034,514,000, according to the
North Carolina Crop Reporting
Service. At this levels cash re
ceipts were two per cent above
the previous record of $1,013,671,-
000 received in 1956 and 14.7 per
cent, gbove 1957. The increase of
$132,266,000 in total cash receipts
in 1958 over 1957 came from an
increase of $32,559,000 or 12.2 per
cent in livestock and products;
an’increase of $88,608,000 or 14.6
per cent in crops; and an increase
y. of 411,099,000 or 42.0 per cent in
government payments.
{Tobacco, accounted for more
thin half of the increase in total
i c«h receipts. Appreciable gains
\ wjbre also made by com and s''”-
bians. A large portion of the
g£in in cash receipts from live
stock and prodi came from
cjimmercial broilers, eggs, and
cattle.
J Cash rece'Dis from marketings
otf all c-e-s during 1958 account
-9i for C 9.9 per cent of the total
dash receipts from marketings of
both crops and livestock. The
30.1 per cent of the cash receipts
fipm marketings of livestock and
products compare with 30.5 per
dent in 1957.
Easter Awakening |
Shown To April 6
> Suggestion That Date
Os Easter Be Per-
I manently Fixed
Why does Easter arrive this
year on March 29? Why did it
fall last year on April 6? And
why will Easter not be until
April 17 in 1960?
In other words, w.hy does the
commemorative date of the Res-;
urrection wander all over the |
calendar from as early as March |
22 to as late as April 25?
It is unfortunate that tradition I
of many centuries has prevented;
the stabilization of Easter at some j
time when the full effects of a j
material resurrection of things in
nature may coincide with the'
commemorative date of the Res- j
urrection of Christ.
TKe reason for the wandering
date lies in the centuries of “tell
, ing t urn methods.” But it is in
)*" deed (possible to determine the
exact'date of the actual Resur
rectioh and of the events that
preceded it, because of the wan
dering, and the reason for it.

the Morehead Planetarium at

Gross income per farm is esti
mated at $4,499 in 1958 and $3.-
937 in 1957. Realized net income
per form is estimated at $2,221
, in 1958 and $1,804 in 1957. Hence,
gross income per farm increased
$562 in 1958 over 1957, while re
alized net income increased $417
per farm. A continued rise in
. production expenses accounts for
the difference of $145 per farm
in the gain registered by gross
income over that for net income
in 1958 as compared with 1957.
Total net income (realized net in
come plus net chanee in farm in
ventory) oer farm increased from
$1,685 in 1957 to $2,285 in 1958.
North Carolina continued to
out-rank any other state in the
South Atlantic Region in cash
; farm receipts for 1958. and it
-■'eked 12th among a’l states in
i tt'n Nat ; on in that resneet. No"t v
Caro'ina ranked fourth in the
Nation in cash receipts from crens j
; n 1958 being exceeded by II-
Ennis, Tpvas and California. T'-ei
State ranked 19th in th“ Nation *
in cash receipts from livestock
and products.
Nationally, cash receipts from
farm marketings reached an all
time high of 33.2 billion dollars
in 1958—one per cent above the
previous record of 1951, and 12
per cent higher than in 1957.
|is explained. The calculations of
I time by the historic Jewish cal
jendar and the subsequent Gre
gorian Reform are detailed in thr
(tenth annual tribute to Easter
and are .explained so that ever
children in elementary grades
can understand them.
The* Planetarium program,
which will be presented from
now through April 6, also sug
gests that a revised calender such
as has been proposed for world
wide adoption would fix the datr
of Easter permanently on Sun
day, April 8. That would be only
one day removed from the actual
date of Christ’s Resurrection.
Again this year the Morehead
| Planetarium presents its colorful
j pageant of the betrayal and tidal
|of Christ, his Crucifixion and
I Resurrection. -The ■ entire -prw
’ gram is of a highly spiritual na
| lure and is climaxed with a clos
ing scene of the Saviour’s figun
| rising from the tomb and ascend
i ing into the heavens from where
j extending arms encompass tht
j universe with blessing, love ani
a new life.
‘‘Easter the Awakening” is pre
sented at the Morehead Plane
