Nearly seven out of every ten farms in the United States now have electric power. I Value Of State's Crops Continues High in '48 During the first 11 months of 1948, North Carolina farmers sold crops valued at a total of $581, 515.00, Moyle S. Williams, farm management specialist at State Col lege, said this week. With this rec ord, the state continued to hold its place as one of the leading states in value of crops produced. The value of crops marketed dur ing the same period last year was slightly higher—$582,249.00. Be cause marketings of cotton, tobacco and other crops are heavy in the State during December, the total for the year is expected to be consider ably higher. Williams said that on the basis of these figures North Carolina ranked fourth in the nation in the value of its fax-m crops, exceeded only by California, Texas, and Illinois. The year-end total, he added, will prob ably push the Old North State up to third place, as was the case in 1947, The specialist pointed out that to bacco, North Carolina's principal money crop, is one of the very few farm commodities which brought higher prices in 1948 than in the preceding year. BABY CHICKS A sharp upward trend in poultry production'at the end of 1948 is re ported by the Agriculture Depart ment which said that the total of chicks produced by commercial hatcheries during December was the largest of records for that month— 54,713,000 or 63 per cent more than the number produced during De comber, 1947 and 58 per cent above the December, 1942-46 average.
