Page Six Factory to Farm “Factory meets farm in North Carolina” is the title of a new bul letin just released by the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station, and free copies are a vailable to residents of the state who request them. Dr. Francis E. McVay, assist ant agricultural economist for the Station, wrote the bulletin, bas ing it on a recent survey of farms and industries in Gaston and Davidson Counties. It was his aim to chart the relationship that new exists between agriculture and rural industries and the ef fect on rural people. “Whether industrialization is the answer to southern economic problems, is still an open ques tion,” says Dr. McVay in his in troduction. “But long strides were made toward increased industri alization during the recent war ... It is because the South is still rural in character, but changing rapidly as industrialization pro ceeds, that a study of the effect of industry upon agriculture is important at this time.” One of the first findings of the survey was that even in 1943 when the farm labor force was low, many farm families in the survey counties were under-employed. Dr. McVay observes that, “other things remaining equal, employment could not be given to this unused WAKE L 0 N THEATRE - ZEBULON Sunday Shows: 3:15 and 9 p.m. Weekday Shows: 3:15, 7:15, and 9:00 p.m. SATURDAY, FEB. 7 BLACK HILLS Eddie Dean Roscoe Ates SUNDAY and MONDAY, FEB. 8-9 ALWAYS TOGETHER Robert Hutton Joyce Reynolds TUESDAY, FEB. 10— Two Blondes and a Red Head Jean Porter t Jimmy Lloyd WEDNESDAY, FEB. 11— THE PRETENDER THURSDAY and FRIDAY, FEB. 12-13 DAISY KENYON SATURDAY, FEB. 14— CHEYENNE TAKES OVER Lash Laßue Fuzzy St. John SUNDAY and MONDAY, FEB. 15-16 GOOD NEWS WENDELL THEATRE Sunday Shows 3 & 9 P.

Many of the off-farm employ ment opportunities offered low wages and has few seasonal va riations in labor needs that matched fluctuations in the farm labor supply. Nevertheless, these opportunities helped con siderably in raising the income of farm families. In his summary, Dr. McVay reaches the conclusion that more rural industries would certainly improve the plight of farm fami lies. “The part-time farmer, who at present ekes out a living from farm and factory, might leave farming entirely if he could find full-time off-farm work at high er wages,” the economist con cludes. “Higher non-farm in comes would undoubtedly raise the incomes of full-time farmers who remained on the farm. This would, in turn, enable them to finance more mechanization and thus step up their efficiency and income.” CARD OF THANKS To my friends: Please accept my sincere thanks for the gifts, flowers, and cards that were sent to me while I was in the hospital. Mrs. Fannie Bolton The Zebulon Record Undergoes Operation Miss Joyce Temple underwent a Spinal operation at Duke Hos pital Tuesday for a misplaced vertebra. Her surgeon, Dr. B. R.

Tnose men know how to get the little tyke to change his tune and “give with a smile” that’s when they snap the camera shutter and, presto, a nice picture is on film, for publication, and for mama and poppa, too, if they want them.
