money had enabled the group to
make an average payment of 22%
of the income. Miss Johnston, Home
Agent, remarked that very few
people in North Carolina could say
they saved 22% of their income
last year.

farm and to Veteran J. C. Franks j
and wife for living at home and
spending only 22r\ of their cash
income for family expenses and to
Levi Mathis and wife for .a well*
rounded farm program. It was easj !
to see that big payments or savings ?
came from living at home and havi I
ing a number of sources of cash in
come.
Some average figures on last
year's business for the group are
as follows: Average cash income,
$1456; average family expenses,
$428; average farm expenses, $494;
average amount of saving or iarm
payment, $342; average amount
ahead of farm payment, $511. The
average yield of corn was 41 bus
hels to the acre and Irish potatoes
125 bushels.
Principal Watson and \he Glen
ville School Lunch Room served
the group lunch and helped in ev
ery way to let the group have a
successful day. Mr. Ammons, Ag
ricultural Teacher, gave a short
prophecy of the farm picture a
head. He felt that for the next few
years prices would hold up but that
farmers should not go off the deep
1 end on any phase of farming. Mr.
Snipes advised the group against
putting all their farm planning in
ane basket and strongly urged a
continuation of soil improvement
and good farm and home practices.
Miss Johnston congratulated the
women for doing a much better
job than the average in North Car
olina.
Prizes were donated by business
