Only 34 Per Cent
Os Tar Heels Vote
WASHINGTON IIP lf the
trend continues, only half of Amer
ica’s 100,000,000 eligible voters will
take the trouble to cast ballots in
November, according to a congres
sional report.
The report, prepared for Sen.
Owen Brewster and printed as a
Senated document, lists 1948 and
1950 election figures for every coun
ty in the nation.
The Maine Republican, who fail- j
ed in his bid'for renomination this
summer, called on political and
civil leaders to use the survey “in
the fight against the apathy and
indifference which have been de
veloping among the electorate."

sons. 48 per cent of those eligible,
failed to go to the polls in the 1948
presidential election. The turnout
was even lower in the 1950 con
gressional elections.
The size of the vote in November
could be a vital factor in victory
for either party. Speculation on
this year’s results will be based in
part on the 1948 turnout.
Only 16 states had voting records
of 60 per cent or higher in 1948.
A turnout of between 50 and 60
per cent was recorded in 16 states,
between 30 and 40 in seven, and
less than 30 in nine Southern states.
In the South, where national elec
tions are usually just a formality
after the primaries, participation
ranged from 12 per cent in Ala
bama and South Carolina to 34 per

Campbell College
Farm Is Agricultural
Asset To Harnett
| The Campbell College farm is
becoming one of the great agricul-,
tural assets of Harnett County j
stated C. R. Ammons. County Agent j
here today.
The development of this agri-j
cultural enterprise which consists
of a well balanced farm program j
has for quite a number of years'
| been under the able guidance and
! supervision of Professor B. P |
Marshbanks, who this year is;
rounding out some 43 years of ser
vice, to Campbell College. Professor!
i Marshbanks is known as a man of j
few words and rare integrity, but i
I he also has a keen sense ul judg- j
ment and appraisal of factors that !
go to make up a good administrator j
The Campbell College farm is
under the supervision of O. B
Ramer, Farm Manager and Lonnie i
D. Small, Business Manager of the j
College. Mr. Ramer came to Camp- {
bell College farm a few years ago
as acitive 'farm manager of the'
farm. Mr. Ramer is well trained I
not only along the lines of crop |
production, but is especially well I
versed in livestock production. j
The Campbell College «<jrm at
this time consists of some 200
acres of fine Harnett County soil
a part of which has been rented or
leased this year. The livestock on
this farm consists of 70 head of j
purebred Hampshire hog- with a |
valuation of more than $3,000. Mr ;
Small and Mr. Rambr have alio'
added during the past year a herd j
of Hereford beef cattle consisting of j
14 head, valued at more than $lO.-
000. There is also 33 head of dairy j
cattle on this farm, principally j
Holstein and Guernsey, and plans |
are underway to develop a pure- [
bred Holstein herd and of course i
of Hereford beef cattle.
There is - being grown on the
farm at the present time some 12
aerss of alfalfa w'ith already more
than 600 bales of alfalfa hay har- j
vested this year. The remainder of
the acreage is devoted t« Ihe pro-]
duction of food and feed crops j
consisting of 60 acres of corn, three ]
acres of sweet potatoes with the
remainder in hay crops and pas
, ture.

] bell College farm a modern abattoii
| recently added to the facilities that
not only serves this farm but a
[ large number of farms throughout
this area of Harnett County in
the butchering of both cattle and
hogs on a custom basis. In other
words this facility serves the en
tire community. There is on hand
more than- SI,OOO worth of cured
meat processed at this s^iattoir.
The Campbell College farm was
orginally purchased for some $9,000
and today is valued at more (/ian
$50,000 with more than $7,500 worth
of farm equipment consisting of
tractors, milking equipment, coolers
processing equipment and defrige
ration equipment and a modern
dairy barn. There have recently
been added two walk-in cooler
units to hold in storage processed
meats, which is seryfng a very fine
purpose as the produce and meats
grown on the Campbell College farm
are utilized by the college dining
hall.

students during the school season
that board at the college dinning
ed they will start paying their
