FARM INCOME IN STATE GREATER IN YEAR OF 1935 Gross Income for State Of North Carolina In 1935 Was (305.122,000 The gross income of North Cere lino formers in 1935 wos $365,122. 000, according to figures supplied Dean L O. Schaub. of State College, by the U. S. Department of Agri culture recently. The figure includes benefit pay ments distributed by theAAA and the value' of commodities produced for consumption on the farm. Cash income from the sale oi farm products amounted to $217, 475,000. AAA benefit payments of $12,293,000 swelled the total cash in come to $229,768,000. Farm commodities consumed on the farm were conservatively valu ed at $75,354,000, the dean stated By way .of comparison, he said that the 1934 gross income was $299,075,000, of which $219,279 wrs derived from the sale of crops and livestock and $17,314^)00 from AAA payments Products consumed at home were valued at $62,482,060 For both years, the cash incume from the sale of farm products was based on returns from 78 crop and 13 livestock items. The dean pointed out that al though the AAA payments was con siderably larger in 1934 than in 1935, and the income from cash sales was somewhat larger, the value of commodities produced for home consumption rose from $62. 482.000 in 1934 to $75,354,000 in 1935. The greater value of home-con sumed products in 1935 was more than enough to offset the slight de mac in caah income, with the re sult that the (roes income increas ed by $6,047,000 All this indicates the trend away Iran the production of cash crops and toward the production of those trunks needed on the farm and by the farm family, the dean stated. In other wards, farmers are bal ancutC their farming programs and becoming more self-sufficient.

These practices will be especially helpful to farmers who must do more soil building work" if they are ?"Tive the full amount of pay ment* for which they are eligible, said Dean I O. Schaub, of State College. Over the Stale, he added, there are many farmer* who have acre ages of soil-conserving crops that make them eligible for more pay ments than they have yet earned u ith soil-building practices. These growers should check over their farms at once to see what eL-a- they must do to obtain the full amount of their payments, the dean pointed out. lie also stated that the payments are only an additional inducement for growers to do those things which improve the land. The soil building value of these practices is worth far more than the payments. For this reason, he said, growers will benefit themselves by carrying out more of these practices than they will be paid for. The rates of payment for practices that may be conducted up to Oc tober 31 are as follows: ? Seeding alfalfa, $2 per acre. Seed ing red or mammoth clover, $1.50 an acre. Seeding Alsike, white or crimson clover, Austrian winter peas, or vetch, $1 per acre. Plowing or disking under the fol lowing crops as green manure, after at least two months' growth: soy beans, velvet beans, cowpeas, sweet clover, lespedeza, or crotalaria, $1.90 an acre. Terracing with a sufficient a mount of properly constructed ter races to give adequate protection a cainsl erosion. 40 cents per 100 linear feet of terrace, but do not |to exceed $3 an acre T iming jj p^ 1,000 pounds up to $4 per acre. MANY FOOD FADS DO MUCH HARM TO HUMAN BODY Pet Theories Often Given To Advance Sale of Certain Foods Most food fads are based on ignor ance rather than a knowledge of foods and the requirements of the human body. No well informed person would advocate the absurd diets recom mended t>y self-styled "doctors" and "professors" who have pet the ories to give out or who wish to promote the sale of certain "health foods." This is the opinion of Dr. Frank Sherwood, of the N. C. Agricultural Experiment Station, who urges peo ple to use common sense in eating and to shun food fads as they would the plague. . The public has become heath conscious during the last decado and people fall easy prey to quacks who talk glibly of carbohydrates, pro ems, fats, minerals and vitamins, Dr. Sherwood stated. Since most of their claims are' based on an element of truth that is obvious to the public, he continu ed, the popular tendency is to sup pose that every claim they make is also true. Every time the food faddist mon-J keys with the human diet, Dr. Sher wood declared, he does more harm than good. He would have people believe that white bread is poison, that por. teins and carbohydrates shetid nev- ? er be eaten at the same meal, that certain ao-caOed "health roods" are essential to life, heath, and happi nes, the doctor continued He added that he is not referring to reputable physicians or dieticians who cannot eat some things or who who canot eat some things or who are in need of- special foods. But these recommendations are based on the needs of the individual and are made by authorities who know what they are talking about. The faddist on the other hand, usually urges the same diet for alt people. Qualified authorities hesitate to make general recommendations for all people, though they will say that in most cases the diet should consist of dairy products, eggs, fruits, leafy vegetables, meats, and whatever else suits your appetite, digestion, and pocketbook," Dr. Sherwood pointed out.

ROOSEVELT AND LANDON TO HAVE NAMES ON TICKET This Year First Time Can didates Names on North Carolina Ballot Raleigh.?The names of the can didates for president and vice presi dent will appear on the presidential ballots in the November flection for the first time in the history of North Carolina, while the names of the presidential electors will be left off. Secretary Raymond C. Maxwell ot the State Board of Elections pointed oat I / So when the voters go to the polls this fall, they will receive tickets bearing the names of Roosevelt and Garner as the Democratic candidates for president and vice president and of Landon and Knox as the Repub lican candidates, instead of the long list of presidential electors, as in the past. The ballots will have a foot note informing the voters that by voting for the party candidates they are automatically voting for the 13 presidential electors of that party. Due to the fact that the names of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Garner will appear on the ballots in this election, a good many party leaders believe that he will get more votes than ever before, since it will be almost impossible to confuse voters. Only one mark in the square at the top of the space over the names of Rcjosevelt and Garner will be need ed to vote the Democratic presiden tial ticket Some estimate thai Roosevelt will get between 50,000 and 100,000 more votes under this new system than if the old plan of voting for presidential electors had been retained. Four years ago there were three lists of electors of _13 names to each list on the presi dential ballot?one list each for the Democratic, the Republican, and Socialist parties. The new plan in effect this year will permit a very small and compact ballot, easy to mark and vote. It will also save the State Board of Elections a lot of money as compared with the cost of ballots in the past The adoption of the new type of presidential ballot, containing the names of candidates instead of the ?lectori, w&j secured in 1933 at the request of Secretary Maxwell of the State Board of Election!, who point, ed out that other states had adopt ed the plan with great success.
