Speaking Contest
On Soil Building
Because we all dept id on the
land to provide us with food, shel
ter. and clothing, soil conservation
is a problem which should con
cern all our citizens, believes Gor-!
: don C Hunter of Roxboro, a mem
ber of the Agricultural Commit -
u-e of the American Bankers As
j sociation.
Mr. Hunter said he hoped as
many high school students as pos
sible would participate iri the 1949
agricultural speaking contest
sponsored by the State Bankers
Association in cooperation with
the State College Extension Ser
vice, the Soil Conservation Serv
ice. and other agencies.
Thousands of dollars worth of
U. S. savings bonds and cash priz
es .will be awarded to school,
| county, district, and State winners
in the contest, according to J.
Frank Doggett, Extension soil
conservationist at State College.
In a statement this week, Mr.
Hunter said that natural resourc
es once were plentiful in the Unit
| ed States and very lntle attention
' was given to conservation prob
lems Now, however, the situa*
tion is different.
“We have slightly more than
| three acres of ^potentially good
| cultivatable land per person,” Mr.
Hunter said. “It takes two and a
half moderately productive acres
to feed each of us adequately. Ex
pected population increases by j
1970 will reduce the average acre
age per person even if we keep
up our present high production.
We will have still less average
; acreage available per person if we !
don't give a lot of thought to con
servation methods and do somel j
thing about it.
“Ail of our resources are on the'
decrease—some of them alarming
ly so," he continued. “This means
that the American level of living
and American traditional institu
tions of freedom have a short life
ahead of them. However, there
may he an escape from these dis
astrous results if we will all work

Heart Ailments
Listed As Main
Cause Of Death
Total Number of Deaths
Last Year In Nation
Stood at 1.445,370
Heart failiin nts have become the
leading cause of deaths in the
United States in recent years,
deaths from these ailments being
more than twice as many as any
other disease. In an official an
nouncement issued a few days
ago the Public Health Service in
Washington said that 460 580
deaths, or 31.9 percent of all
deaths reported in 1947, can be
blamed on heart diseases, the
leading cause of death. The 1947
total was an increase of 31,350
o\jser 19'i6's 429,230.
Number 2 killer way, cancer,
which’ took 189.811 lives in 1947
compared with 182,005 in 1946.
Total deaths recorded last year
were 1.445,37i. In 1946 the total
was 1.395.61 f.
Mortality from infectious dis
eases dropped, in some cases to
new record lows. /There were
decreases' in pneumonia, influen
za, tuberculosis, poliomyelitis,
measles, diphtheria, malaria, scar
let fever, and others. Motor-ve
hicle accidents took 32,697 lives in
1947 compared with 33,411 in 1946.
This cause of death, number 10 on
the list, dropped for the first time
since 1943. The number of deaths
from other types of accidents,
however, rose from 64,622 in 1946
j to 66,882 in 1947.
A press summary shows that
the eight leading causes of deaths
in 1947, with comparative figures
I for 1946, are as follows:
Cause 1947 1946
1 Heart disease 460,580 429.230
2. Cancer, other
malignant tumors 189,,811 182,005
3 Intracranial lesions
of vascular origin 131,039 125,646
4. Nephritis 80,288 81,701
5. Accidents (excluding
motor-vehicles) 66,882 64.622
! 6 Pneumonia and
| influenza * 61,836 62,324
7. Tuberculosis 48,064 50,911
J 8. Premature birth 41,053 39,824
hard now — not tomorrow, but J
now to conserve and strengthen
these natural and human resourc
es. We all depend on the land as
our heritage. To destroy this
heritage is to destroy ourselves
and mankind.”
It is estimated that 35 million
American families have money in j
the bank or in government bonds.
Thta would be 73 percent of the
j nation’s families.
