Tel. QY 6-3283 Five Cents Louisburg, N C.. Thursday. March 12, 1964 (Ten Pages Today) 95th Year? Number 6 Farm Series: No. 2 t Have Many Opportunities To Offset Drop In Tobacco Income This is the second in a four part series on the 1964 farm outlook for the Franklin County area. Today's article deals with "Opportunities for Keep ing Crop Income at a High Lev el for 1964." This series is prepared by the North Carolina State College extension special ists after making a study of the cut in tobacco allotments for '64. It is presented by The Times in the hope that it will be benefi cial to its readers. Tar Heel farmers have a fist ful of opportunities to help them offset the expected drop in 1964 tobacco income, according to a group of agricultural extension specialists at Nort^ ^Carolina State. In fact, the specialists believe the N. C. farm economy has Bnough steam to absorb the tobacco cut without taking a dip to total farm income. The specialists group had been asked by Extension Director George Hyatt to study 1964 farm Income prospects and to recommend steps that could be taken to keep income at the highest possible level. Here is a crop-by-crop sum mary of the specialists' report: (The specialists also looked at the poultry and livestock situa tion.) Flue-cured tobacco? Acreage will be down 10 percent. Price supports will be up 0.6 cents per pound Effects of recent publicity on the relktion of to bacco to health is still uncer tain. In view of production trends and previous reaction to acreage cuts some yield in crease is likely. Higher yields plus higher price supports could result in only a 5 per cent drop in total tobacco income, despite a 10 per cent cut in allotments. Farmers can help reduce the Income loss by (1) using the best land for their remaining acreage, and (2) making use of the lease-and transfer program to keep unplanted allotments to a minimum. Cotton--The N. C. allotment for 1964 is about 5,000 acres, or about 1 per cent, less than in '63. The status of new legislation, which could great ly effect the crop in N. C., Is still uncertain. Every possible effort should be made to get farmers to use the release And reappor tionment program in 1964. v Corn--Income from corn can be increased In '64 through both larger acreage and higher yields per acre. An additional 56,000 acres is possible. This ?ould be about half the increase from f 962 to 1963. Recent N. C. prices favor this expansion by persons who choose not to participate in the division program. Unlimited expansion may not be profita ble, however, because of high er payment available to farm ers who divert 40 per cent or more of their base under the Feed Grain Program. It is also reasonable to ex pect, in light of the long trend on yield improvements, an av erage per acre yield in '64 of 56 bushels. The '63 average was 54 bushels. Wheat- -Since there is no pen alty for over-planting allot ments in 1964, Tar Heel wheat acreage has Jumped from 282,000 acres last year to 36 ,000 acres this year. ___ (See FARM Page 6) Tax Saving Of $517,000 In Franklin County There will be more spending money In Franklin County soon and, consequently, more busi ness activity as a result of the tax cut approved by Con gress. The bill provides for tax re ductions of different sizes, vauy g according to income, level. For a person who is lucky enough to be in the high est bracket, the reduction this year will be very large. In stead of the 91 percent he had to pay last year on his taxa ble income, he will now have to turn back a mere 77 per cent. For those with modest in comes, the reduction in the tax rate is less dramatic. How ever, families In the lower brackets will profit consider ably from the new "minimum standard deduction" of $400 for husband and wife. Many families will be lopped off the tax rolls because of It. In Franklin County, where av erage earnings have been on the rise and have reached H, 50 per household before taxes, the savings will be great er than In many other commu nities. For a married couple locally with two dependent^ and with an income equal tcj* the pre vailing average, the^ax on 1964 earnings will become $327, or $74 less than before. For fami-lies with gross In comes at the $12,000 level, the annual tax will drop to $1,675, a cut of $185. Where gross earnings are only $4,000 a year, the new tax will be $220, which is $68 below the current rate. Taking into account all Frank lin County families, those with large incomes as well as those with small ones, the tax re duction based on present earn ings will total approximately $517,000. The addition of that much cash to the amount already In circu lation locally will have a mul tiple effect, according to the economists. Their explanation, In brief, is that the increase in con sumer buying will deplete store stocks, thus creating the need for more merchandise. This, in turn, will stimulate factory production, cause the hiring of more workers and, finally, put more money in the hands of consumers. Residents of Franklin County will see the first tangible re sults of the tax cut shortly, when the amount deducted from their paychecks will be 14 per cent Instead of 18 percent.

You can prove anything you want witht unreliable statistics the com mittee used." Mangum reported thaF~~ the Farm Bureau is backing legis lation to provide for a research program which would 1 ? uncover the facts instead of fancy" about the purported link between smoking and certain health Firemen Hold Memorial Rites The Louisburg Fire Depart ment will hold Memorial Ser vices Sunday afternoon at 4:30 for their deceased firemen: C.
