Church Field Survey
To Be Made April 1-8
Fifteen church fields will be
surveyed April 1-8 in the first
major community survey of
the Cullom Association area,
according to the Rev. Larry
Bryson, Cullom Baptist Asso
ciation Missionary.
More than 1500 families will
be contacted in the survey,
Mr. Bryson said. The Church
Development Department, Ern
est C. Upchurch, secretary; Is
' assisting in directing this asso
ciational-wide endeavor.
Mr. Bryson said the Church
Community Survey is a re
sponse to the population shifts
now taking place here and
throughout the nation. It will
also pinpoint without and ques
tion direct chureh and mission
needs in the area. He further
explained:
This survey differs from pre
vious ones in that it is more
complex, is designed to give
permanent records rather than
temporary records, and it
makes possible the keeping of
current files on all the families
in each church's neighborhood.
The main object of the sur
vey is to see how many pros
pects there are in the commun
ity for church membership. In
formation will be available to
all denominations upon com
pletion of the survey.
But?the?long term?results
will be the permanent record
of the residents kept on card
files for immediate reference.
Zone captains will be appoint
ed to keep up with family
changes in the neighborhood,
such things as births, deaths,
marriages, and the church af
filiations of new community
members. Once the survey is
complete, a census will not be
necessary as long as the files
are kept up to date. > ?*

hand 12,029 released acres for
which no requests have been
made, according to Thurman
R. Batten, Warren County
&SCS Acting Office Manager.
If there are farmers in the
county who can use some of
this acreage, we want to give
them an opportunity to do so,"
Batten said. "Cotton grown
on this acreage could provide
additional income for farmers
and help the economy of the
county."
A "terrific amount" of acre
age was released by Tar Heel
farmers during the final days
of the release period last
week. Batten said.
Total amount released in the
State by the deadline date was
99,332 acres, as compared with
82,306 acres released last year.
Total requests received to date
amounts to 87,303 acres.
Under the cotton release and
reapportionment law, farmers
who do not wish to plant their
full allotment may preserve
their planting history by re
leasing the unplanted acreage
to the ASC County Committee.
They are required, however, to
plant "some" cotton?at least
one-tenth acre ? once every
third year.

Ballentine Says Farming
Has Golden Opportunity
in spite of a declining farm
population, farming is facing
its golden future, L. Y. (Stag)
Ballentine, North Carolina
Commissioner of Agriculture,
told members of the Lions
Club and their farmer guests
here on Friday night.
The commissioner was the
guest speaker at the annual
Lions Club Farmer's Night
held at the Country Club where
a barbecue supper was served
by Ralph's of Roanoke Rapids.
He was presented by Lion Bob
Bright.
Good management is the key
to successful farming, Ballen
tine said. With good manage
ment, faith and hope to kindle
a flame, the future of farming
in North Carolina is stilt
bright, he added.
Pointing out the changing
farm picture, where cotton,
and to some extent tobacco, is
giving way to livestock, ai
vegetable crops, Ballentine
told those present not to be
afraid to try new ways and
new fields.
Ballentine said that it was
increasingly hard to get young
people to remain on the farm,
and human resources is the
critical problem facing us, and
yet by more intelligent man
agement with use of better
methods and means, leas peo
ple can continue to produce
more.
