Farmer Finds Value
Of (Good Neighbors
John Minis of Trinity community
in Caswell County found out that he
had some mighty fine ' neighbors.
They were around when he needed
them the most
Negro County Agent E. B. T. Car
raway says that Minis' farm home
was destroyed by fire in January of
this year. The folks in the commu
nity met to see what could be done
about the situation. Thst same night
they made plans to help Mima re
build his home.
The neighbors went to work cut
ting logs, sawing and dressing lum
ber and laying a foundation. April
17 was set as the day for the "house
raising."
On that day, around 50 families
were represented with some form of
assistance in 'building their neigh
bor's house. The! men began work
ing at 8' a. m cutting the framing.
At 9 a. m., the first section was
ready to set via. By tie end of the
day the top 'was on Minis' house.
Jha women of the community were
on hand at noon , to serve a picnic
style luncheon to the workers. A round
five different communities were rap-
resented in the undertaking.
More Income Possible
On Low-Income Farms
According to the 1950 Census of
Agriculture, the average farm in
North Carolina had 67 acres of land.
But a more startling revelation is
that nearly half of these farms pro
duced less than $1,200 worth of farm
products for sale, says D. G. Har
wood, State College extension farm
management and marketing special
ist Harwood says that results of a re
cent study conducted by the agricul
tural economics department at State
College show that higher incomes
could be achieved on many of these
low-income farms if a re-organization
of the family resources was
made.
He says that adoption of improved
farm practices, additional capital,
better utilization of family labor.
and more profitable use of other re
sources which the family controls,
could mean a big1 difference in the
final outcome of many farming op
erations. Some new enterprises may
need to be added and some .old ones
left off.

ample results df the study indicate
that many email farmers could in
crease their incomes by adding poul

"Oriental Gardens" was the theme
of the banquet given May 17 in the

Walnut High School . in honor of
the school's 1956 graduates. Through

ted into a paradise of blue skies
(from which were suspended Ori

lavender surroundings, and were in-
eiosecrmMn a stone wan flanked
with Chinese poppies and parasols.
In the. background sketches of nting
trees, the famed Mt Fujiyama, and
Japanese dragons added to the at
mosphere of the occasion. A wish
ing well centered the garden, while
a fountain of multi-colored bubbles
realistically graced the stage, at the
base of which was spelled in laven
der and white flowers "CLASS OP
19t6."
Banquet tables were covered in
white cloths down the center of
which were purple scalloped runners
and white candles set in white hold
ers and purple rosettes. Place cards

poppies, and tiny parasol trees Serv
ed as centerpieces. At each place
was a "Memoir" booklet and mint
cups fashioned after a bashful Chi-'
nese lady hidden behind her fan.
Guests were delighted with the
menu of cherry blossom nectar,
