~ "" IM Ftm hewn 17.4 Bilhi Mhn Although the nation's groan farm Income last year was 3 per cent greater than In 1947, pro duction costs were 8 per cent higher and net profits were therefore lower than In the pre vious year, says Moyle S.

At the present time, says Wil-I liams, indications are that farm prices will decline further but production costs will remain high. The result Is that the aver age farmer can look forward to a favorable year in 1949, but less favorable than In 1948. Net farm income, the specialist adds, will be small this year unless in creased efficiency and better management are employed to hold down costs. Average prices received by farmers in January of this year were about 13 per cent below the record set in January, 1948. The index of wholesale commodity prices has continued down and in early January was 6 per cent below mid-August. Nearly all of the decline in wholesale prices has been on farm products and food; non-farm commodities have changed little. ,— o Clean Up for Health — Paint Up for Beauty — Fix Up for Economy! Older Men, Women To Ploy Coge Gome At Millers Creek Friday night, April 1st, by popular request, the old men, or men from 35 years up, will play a basketball game in the Millers Greek gymnasium. Since the old men have drunk from the foun tain of youth and slipped the cal endar back many moons the mid dle aged ladies see no reason why they can't call back a few years and play just as well if not better, than the old men. Three weeks ago when we had the Father and Son Ball game, men like John Vannoy, Horn Church, Olate Bumgarner, Don Snider, Edd Pierce and Paul Delp entertained the crowd so thor oughly that the people in the community hare asked that a game be scheduled between the older men and women with both games ibeing played strictly ac cording to rules. The winner of the men's game will challenge the Klwanis Club of North Wil kesboro, that is if the Kiwanis Club feels that it can provide suitable competition. Even though far passed their prime, old men, like Van Cau dill, Gwyn Nichols and Duck Van noy, are trying at least to get their name in the lineup for Fri day night. Sam Osborne, being 'only twenty-one, is not eligible for competition. The> ladies lineup will include such 'personalities as Mrs. Tom Wake' Hayes, Mrs. Van Caudill, Mrs. Don Snider, Mrs. Grant Whittington, Mrs. Rachel Bishop, Mrs. Paul Delp and many others. The proceeds will go toward paying for the football equip ment and the admission will be waistline. o — MORE ABOUT — BOYETTE STARTS ON PAGE ONE ship to Duke and he spent the 1944 season with the Blue Devils. He was a member of the team that toppled Alabama in the 1945 Sugar Bowl. Coming to Appalachian in the fall of *45 Boyette became a 60 minute performer for the then resuming Appalachian Mountain eers. His kicking that season gave his team a 7-6 win over Guilford and a 7-7 tie with Davidson. When Flucie Stewart came to Appalachian in '46, bringing a whole new squad with him, Boy ette was one of two men remain ing from the preceding years team to make this new football machine. iln the encounter with Erskine that season, Boyette broke through the enemy line so. fast that an Erskine back handed him the ball on a reverse and he scooted forty yards for a touchdown before anyone else knew where the ball was. All this despite his "handicap." Three times in his last three years at Appalachian he helped pull his team's chestnuts out of the fire with true-toed field goals. In the specialized football of to day his kicking prowess is enoiugh to assure him a team berth without so much as ruffl ing his hair. The one-armed Boy ette is not that type of perform er. His has been four years of the most bruising type of football. Coach E. C. Duggins, Mountain eer mentor, has stated that "a team with Boyette's spirit and ability would enable the coach to take a seat in the press box and take things easy for an un I defeated season." Coach Gordan Kirkland, Catawba mastermind has said, "He ha3 always played superlative ball against us. Boy ette is a great football player." Besides 'being adept in the playing department, Boyette is also a wizard in the coaching de partment. His work with the Ap palachian varsity in their spring drills this year has shown that he is able to get more than just "enough" out of his charges, and his coaching ability is unques tioned. His knowledge of the game runs through many years of acquaintance with some of the finest coaches in the land. In addition to being a football star, Boyette is well versed in basketball and baseball. He let tered in all three sportg at Chil dren's Home and at Appalachian during the past y©ar directed the high school basketball team, which was runner-up in the High lands Conference tournament at Wllkesboro. The entry of Tom Boyette in to the athletic arena in North Wilkeeboro heralds a new era of athletics. How Are Your Floors?
