Lines constructed and authorized will serve 14,525 customers, Mr. Bagley said. Of these, 12,738 are farm homes, 639 filling statio.ns, and 1„158 are churches, schools, and miscellaneous workshops.

GENERAL FUND HAS WIUS State Closes Fiscal Year With Credit Balance Of $949,927 RALEIGH, July 28.-The North Carolina general fund, from which all general state expenditures are made, closed the fiscal year on June 30 with a credit balance of $949,927, the budget bureau an nounced today.

Waynick said had a cash bal ance of between $9,000,000 and $10,- 000,000, but only ^,000,000 to $7,- 000,000- was “unencumbered” due to unspent allotments already made. For 1933-34 the first year of the Ehringhaus administration, the gen eral fund listed a $74,072 credit balance and for the fiscal year 1934-35 the figure was $712,253. Revenue collections last fiscal year, as reported on June 1, totaled $53,608,780, a new record, with the general fund receipts of $28,743,757 being 19.14 per cent more than in 1934-35. The general fund last fiscal year received $32,151,632 from all Sources, including $1,000,000 from the high way funds as “sales tax on gaso line” and $1„415,025 from non-tax revenue sources such as earnings, fees, dividends, etc. Expenditures aggregated $31,201,- 705. The sales tax produced $10,181,373 of the revenue and income taxes yielded another $8,088,119.

The general fund credit balance and $34;,140 m mcome taxes assessed but deferred on the installment plan. truck GROWING In North Carolina (F«m the North Carolina Agri- cultural Review) No state in the Union offers a broader or more complete fiel from a trucking standpourt than North Carolina. The^ various cli matic conditions, rangrog from that “ subtropical in the east to almost Canadian conditions m the moun- Snous sections in the west, give to North Carolina an interesting and favorable place in the vegetable growing industry of this country. The high, cool mountain regions are well adapted to growing late vegetables for home and Southern markets; while the Coastal Plain section, with its level, mellow sandy loam, easy of cultivation a.nd re tentive of moisture, is adapted to the production of early vegetables for Northern markets. With these unsurpassed natural conditions and the use of framp covered with cloth or glass,, and in some cases the installation of mod ern steam-heated greenhouses and irrigation systems, the trucking in dustry' has made wonderful strides, the production of vegetable crops in winter and early spring ibeing conducted with great success. Local Gardens Inadequate The rapid growth of our North ern cities long ago demonstrated that local gardens could not pro duce the needed supply. With im proved transportation facilities, the production of early vegetables na- Siirally moved southward. The improvement of transporta tion facilities and the increased knowledge of commercial fertilizer uses, together with ideal soil, cli matic conditions, and cheap lands have made truck growing in the Coastal Plain section of North Carolina one of the most impor tant branches of horticultural work. Up-State Productive Also While the Coastal Plain section is the natural locality for the gar dener who aims to supply the Northern demand, there are other sections of the State which are adapted to certain crops for which the eastern section of the State is to a great extent unfitted. These are the fall and winter crops of cabbage, the late or main crop of Irish potatoes, and the fall celery crop. For these crops the Upper Piedmont and Mountain sections are especially adapted. The ^ production of vegetable crops in North Carolina is receiv ing greater attention now than at any other previous time, because of the trend toward diversification. egP I” an account death appearing , o' p-Bs;" stated that h, member of the t United Americaa"'^ member of the , week .ha, fc.
