GODFREY SAYS
OUR N. C. CROPS
MOSTLY BASIC
A higher percentage of the to
tal cash farm income in North
Carolina is derived from ASC sup
ported basic commodities than any
ofiier state in the Union. Accord
ing to H. D. Godfrey, ASC State
Administrative Officer, the fig
ures show that North Carolina re
ceives well over half of its total
cash farm income from these ba
sic eonvnodities. ' "XOtlher states
that rank somewhat below North
Carolina but still receive over half
of their income from' basic com
modities are Mississippi, Arkan
sas and Arizona.
According to Godfrey, this
means that our state can derive
at least as much benefit from ASC
farm programs as any other state
in the Union. "However, this is
entirely dependent upon the farm
ers lending their whole-hearted
support to all phases of the pro
gram." Within the past few months
ASC has held produeer( referen
dum's on wheat, cotton, flue-cured
tobacco and rice. In a few weeks
ASC will be required to hold a
referendum on Burley tobacco.
Godfrey commented on the fact
that in all of these referendumsj

The following article was pub

Southern Planter.
The A. W. Huff family of RFD,
Mars Hill, Madison County, high
in the scenic mountains of West
ern North Carolina, has proved
that a farm family can "Hive off
the farm.", Because they are far
removed from a shopping center,
it is almost necessary that they
produce and conserve most of
their food supply.
This family, according to Mrs.
Janie M. Ramsey, former home
demonstration agent) for Madiooa
County, seldom buys any except
staple foods such as coffee, sug
ars, etc They , have their own
dairy, raise their own meat, and
as Mrs. Huff says, "Ws liv out
of our garden." However, this
does not mean (hat they live "un
to themeehrea'' by any means.' ,
Mrs. Huff has been an active
home demonstration dub membX
for 12 years. Her 14-year-old
daughter, Ann, is wle awake
4-H Club member and .carries jrar

nated the league for the last three
seasons, but Brevard and Spart
anburg have punctured North
Greenville's "unbeaten" bubble al

still powerful, however, as evi

league and their 86-70 victory
over Wingate last Saturday night
