cent below the preceding year's
total of $1,044,198,000, according;
to the North Carolina Crop Re- j
porting Service. When allow-!
ance. is made for items con
sumed on farms and for gross
mail value of farm dwellings,
realised gross income per farm
Is calculated at $4,141. Although

high $4,550 average for 1951, it
was the highest of any other
y«*u; of record. On the other
hand, realised net income—that
remaining after deduction of pro
duction expenses—Ml to $1,151
per farm, or 15.4 percent below
tlte $2,188 average for 1951. Ex
cept tor 195? when net farm in
• come averaged only $1,718, the
* average, for 1959 was the small
est since 1949.
1 Decreases in receipts from to
bacco. peanuts, eggs, broilers
and hogs accounted for most of
the decline in cash receipts.;
Production expenses continued
to rise largely because of de-|
predation charges and repairs!
and operation of capital items.
Production expenses last year
amounted to about 57.5 percent
of the gross farm income. Pro- j
duction expenses have taken
more than 50 cents of the gross!
income dollar during each of the !
past three years. i

“ISOTOX 25 SEED TREATER SOLVED
MY REPLANTING PROBLEMS”.
Corn grower Leslie Jeffrie says, "Frank! -. I used to replant considerably
before I started using ISOTOX 25 Seed Treater (F), but now I'm getting
perfect stands. Besides getting rid of soil insects, I believe that ISOTOX
actually helps the corn grow by letting the stalks get healthier,
ISOTOX 25 Seed Treater (F) has sure saved me a lot of money by solving
my replanting problems, and to be perfectly honest, I just wouldn't {riant
com any more without using it,” Mr. Jeffrie concludes, "I'm interested
in good fanning practices and using ISOTOX is sure one of the best,"*
For as little as lfif par acre ISOTOX 25 Seed Treater (F) can bring yen
better stands, bigger, nere prefit tbit yields.
