PAGE FOUR IYNN NtSBETs Around tfapiJtol Squate FARM CENSUS—The preliminary report on the farm census survey taken in January of this year for all of North Carolina has been re leased by the Federal-State Crop Reporting Service. The compilation of this survey is based on actual figures from 97 counties and “in cludes allowances" for Burke. Dare and Hoke, which for some reason did not report. The Farm Census is taken by township enumerators in January and February, at the same time property i' listed for county taxes. Through . cooperative agree ment among County Commissioners. State and Federal Department of Agriculture Information on in dividual farms loses identity as soon as forwarded by the town ship enumerator to County and State offices where it becomes sta -tistics for compilation. The State- Federal crop reporting office makes up county totals and then trans lates these into State totals for final publicaion. The “farm lands" definition used includes all and on ly tracts of three acres and above upon which people live and engage in farming operations.

C. acreage included in the “farm lands" definition was 21.113.421 acres acres in 1951. At the same time the in 1950 and increased to 21.283.0V8 number of people living on these farms increased from 1,475,428 to 1,- 649. These figures mean that more than one-third, approximately 36 per cent, of the people in North Carolina live on “farms." CONFUSING—There is some con fusion due to census bureau policy of classfying residence of the people. Residents of municipalities with less than 2,500 population are classed as rural, but only those living on tracts of three acres or more are classified as farmers. Analysis of the 1950 census indicates that North Carolina population is pretty evenly divided in three segments—urban (meaning towns and cities of 2,500 and over); farm (meaning residents on tracts of three acres and over), and non-farm rural, meaning every body else—including those in towns of less than 2,500. HARVESTED—The composite re port shows that crops were har vested from 6,161,504 acres or near ly 29 per cent of the total farm land: that 1,185.059 acres or about 5.6 per cent was listed as idle crop lands: that Slightly more than two million acres was in pasture, of which 808,947 acres or 3.8 per cent of the total acreage was classed as improved pasture and 1,211,954 acres or 5.7 per cent of the total acreage was classed as improved pasture and 1,211,954 acres or 5.7 of the total was listed as other types of pasture, exclusive of wood lands. The remaining 11.915,614 11.915,614 acres. 56 per cent of all farm lands, was classified in the several categories of wooded, waste, home, sites, etc. It is interesting to note that as compared with 1950 there was a decrease in acreage from which crops were harvested, less pasture lands and less wooded and wastelands, while there was a very substantial increase in acre age devoted to pasture. Increases also were noted in number of swine, poultry and cattle kept on these farms, with a decrease in number of dairy cows and an increase in beef type cows and heifers. CROPS—The breakdown in num ber of acreage from which various crops were harvested shows corn far in the lead with 34 per cent of the total or 2,182,915 acres. Corn was grown in every county and in most of them represented the largest acreage and tobacco was a close third with 707,231 acres, each of these being credited with 11 per cent of total harvested acreage.

His sack holds gifts for pilots. (International) I pedeza, including that grown for | hav and for seed, accounted for 9 ! per cent of harvested land: wheat and oats for 6 per cent each: sov j beans and peanuts for 4 per cent | each, and all other crops including 1 hay. vegetables, orchards fruits, | miscellaneous small grains, flowers. | etc., for the remaining 15 per cent. UNIVERSAL—Corn, oats, soy j beans and hay crops were grown ! in every county reporting, and pre sumably in the three non-reporting counties. Tobacco was grown in 90 of the counties, although in a few the acreage was insignificant—Polk list ing one acre, Gaston two, Hyde three and Currituck five. VOTES—That unpredicted mil lion and a quarter votes cast in North Carolina still affords sub ! ject matter for speculation, boasting ! and alibi. Republicans are bragging | that they got more votes in North I Carolina than ever before, and at ! tempting to argue that fact that j they are increasing their potential ' as a real opposition party: Demo crats argue, just as glibly that be cause their candidates got more votes this year than in any other election, they are in stronger posi- ; | tion. A staunch friend of Secretary i ; of State Thad Eure was pointing out: i that Eure led the ticket lor all j ' offices except Governor, and there • fore was proven the most popular official. Somebody then recalled that Eure’s Republican opponent also got more votes than any other . candidate of his party below Gov ernor—which proved that Eure was the least popular of all Democrats. MAJORITIES Further proof that statisticians can make fig ures say what they want them to say may be found in comparing total and percentage majorities in several races. It is discovered that Charles Carroll for Superintendent of Public Instruction, while getting fewer votes than several other Council of State members, still re ceived the biggest numerical major ity; and that Judge Hunt Parker for Associate Justice of the Su preme Court led all candidates in percentage majority. He got a slightly bigger percentage margin over Herbert Seawell for Governor, just a little under 68 percent. An other item in the comparison column is that Hamilton C. Jones got more votes in the tenth dis trict than any candidate for Con gress had ever received in that dis trict before—but still was defeated by about 23.000. INADEQUATE These record breaking totals which still resulted in loss of the election remind again of the oft-quoted wisecrack by the late Governor Broughton when he was asked what he thought about PAGE SEVEH GIFTS OF FRAGRANCE, SURE TO RATE WITH CHRISTMAS BELLES A gift of perfume or cologne is a gift that bespeaks your thought fulness. and consideration of a wo man’s femininity!
