Food Crop Increase
Shows Great Gain
Since 1929, North Carolina farmers
have increased the acreage to food
and feed crops by the remarkable
total of 695,000 acres. During the
same period, the acreage to cotton
and tobacco has been decreased by
576.000 acres and allowing for an
increase of 19,000 acres in the peanut
crop, the total decrease in the State’s
so-called cash crops amounts to 5 57,
000 acres.
The only loss in acreage to food
and feed crops has been a slight de
crease with wheat because of flow
prices. Since 1929, there has bfeen
2.000 less acres of wheat planted,
finds Charles A. Sheffield, assistant
extension director at State College,
who has been studying North Caro
lina’s condition since the live-at-home
program has been underway.
The dry figures on the situation are
as follows: corn has been increased by
334.000 acres or 14.5 per cent; wheat
decreased by 2,000 acres or less than
one per cent; oats increased by 48,
000 acres or 15 per cent; rye increased
by 10,000 acres or 10 per cent; bar
ley increased by 12,000 acres or 30
per cent; cowpeas increased by 18,
000 acres or 20 per cent; soybeans
increased by 83,000 acres or 47.5 per
cent; hay increased by 105,000 acres
or 11.8 per cent; irish potatoes in
creased by 29,000 acres or 39.7 per
cent; sweet potatoes increased by 41,
000 acres or 5 5 per cent; sorghum in
creased by 15,000 acres or 75 per
cent.
During this same period since 1929,
Mr. Sheffield says the cotton crop
planted has been decreased by 534,
000 acres or 28.5 per cent and the
tobacco crop by 42,000 acres or 5.5
per cent.
Further decreases in the acreage to
both cotton and tobacco are expected
for 1932 with more legumes planted
and more land seeded to grain and
other feed crops, Mr. Sheffield says.
Thrift And Economy
In Remodeled Clothes
The properly remodeled, hand-me
down coat, suit or dress no longer has
any terror for the small boy or girl
for when home demonstration club
members get through making new
garments from old, not even brother
or sister will recognize the old gar
ment any more.
This is the opinion of Miss Willie
N. Hunter, clothing specialist at

GREENSBORO ROW ENDED
RTSleigh—The state board of equal
ization has approved a supplemental
budget of $200,548 for the extended
term for the Greensboro city schools,
bringing to a close the open break be
tween the Gate City school board
and the equalization board.
The Greensboro supplemental bud
get, as submitted, called for the ex
penditure of $229,496 of local funds,
but approximately $15,000 of this
amount may be transferred to capital
outlay which the state board of equal
ization agreed not to include in ap
proving supplemental budgets.

for?” —R. R. Magazine.
State College, who has been working
with home demonstration club women
and girls in all parts of North Caro
lina this fall to aid them in remodel
ing old clothes into stylish new winter
garments.
"Changing old ffrocks into., new
ones, taking grown-up clothes and
making them into school togs for
children,. is the vogue now among
rurak women and girls,” says Miss
Hunter. "Old packing trunks and
attics are being searched for out-of- >
date garmnets of good material which •
can be used again. Discarded garments j
are being re-examined for future use. ]
To make a good looking up-to-date j
garment from an old one, the owner j
must be thoroughly familiar with 3
what is new in the fashion world. It j
would nevet do to make a garment
that could be spotted as a made-over.
A study of the fashion magazines will
acquaint one with the trends in fash- i
ions and will offer suggestions as to ■
what might be done with any given :
