Soil Contest Lauded
“North Carolina farmers are
just as poor as their soil is, and
bankers, being sensitive to eco
nomic conditions, encourage con
serving the soil and giving it an
opportunity to achieve full pro
duction,” G. Harold Myrick, Lin
colnton banker and chairman of
the agriculture committee of the
North Carolina Bankers Associa
tion, said this week.
Explaining why the Bankers As
sociation sponsors an annual soil
conservation speaking contest for
high school students, Myrick said
bankers are “keenly aware of the
value of agriculture to the State
as it relates to the whole economy
and recognize that agriculture is
the major base in such economy.”
“In the speaking contests,” he
asserted, “we have stressed the
techniques of soil conservation, its
economic values to the State, and
this year we emphasized soil
wastage and its social aspects. The
bankers of North Carolina will
continue to boost every phase of
economic development to the end
| that our great State will rate sec
■fcnd to none in economic stability,
and financial leader-

D. S. Weaver, assistant director
of the State College Extension
Service, says North Carolina farm
families can help save considerable
time and money by having infor
mation ready when the census rep
resentative calls.
Weaver points out that many
| decisions and policies, both public
and private, depend on accurate
census information. Such infor
| mation, he adds, is used in the
apportionment of funds for edu
! cation, including agricultural ex
tension work; and in decisions as
to size and location of business es
tablishments, to mention only a
few of the more important uses of
it.
Although the questionnaire is a
formidable looking document, with
a total of 181 separate question, it
really isn’t as difficult as it looks,
says Weaver. Many items will
not apply to all farmers. Many
others require only a “yes” or
“no” answer.
Acts of Congress provide that
individual information given to
census enumerators must be held
in confidence and cannot be used j
for taxation, investigation, or reg- !
ulation; and that census questions
must be answered truthfully.
The census, Weaver points out,
is one of the oldest of American
institutions. The first one was
taken in 1790, and others have
been taken every 10th year since
then. Since 1920, an agricultural
icensus has been taken every five
years.
