NATIONAL f DITOKIAL Thursday Afternoon. December 7, 1930 Farm Income In North Carolina - The University News Letter presents an in teresting study on farm income in North Carolina for the year 1949. Farm income is derived from three sources, crops and live stock, and government payments. North Caro lina's farm income comes in the main from cash crops, with only 20,5 per cent of the total coming from livestock and livestock products. This is true here at home, while more than one-half the cash farm income of the United States is derived from livestock and livestock products. The statistics given in thisstudy deal only with Tjh income and take no ac count of food products, fuel, etc., which are consumed by the farm population. It is esti mated that this item alone amounts to about $500 per farm in North Carolina. Total cash farm income in the State last year was 713 million dollars, counting crops Snd livestock. Over half of the total, or 359 rjpj,lhon dollars, is accounted for by the State's tobacco crop. And total income from all crops was 560 million dollars. Income from live stock was $145,985,000. . North Carolina was in the 14th place in total cash farm income. It was in 29th place in income from livestock, and in fourth place in income from cash crops. Without the big tobacco crop and the good prices our showing would be much less favorable. r Most of the States with huge farm income derived a large percentage of it from live stock, but North Carolina had the lowest per cent of livestock income of all the States, and South Carolina with 22.2 per cent of its farm income coming from livestock and livestock products makes a better showing than we do. Now in fourth place in crop income, we could move up near the top in total farm in come if we had a larger livestock industry. It is quite apparent that we are mining our soi for .the. cash crops and are using more commercial fertilizer than any. other state. However, it was only a few years ago that only about 10 per cent of farm income in the State was derived from livestock, and we are making great strides in that phase of success ful' and profitable agriculture. The Legislature' And Scnool Boards' Many citizens could not understand why the school board as nominated last May, and voted upon again in November were not sworn into office on Monday, along with oth er officers. i The-people merely nominate by their votes the members of the school board. The Legis lature appoints the board. As a rule the Leg islature appoints the men, or women, nomi nated by the popular vote. However, that is not always the case. The Legislature can disregard the recommenda tions of the people, and appoint an entirely new board. . " Such was the case in Columbus county not so many years ago, and also in several other counties of the state. This procedure has been the subject of much controversy throughout the years. The principal argument is that it takes home rule away and puts the power in the hands of the legislature. Those who favor the procedure point out that since the schools are operated by the state, that the law-making body of the state should have the power and authority to name the men to head the county governing board of the schools. In other words, the county school board is in one sense of the word, an agency of the state. There are some citizens who would like to see this method changed. There are others who are satisfied with the law as it now stands. When, and if the law is changed, the Legis lature will be the group to make such chang es. Another Tax Suggestion'' Since it is only a matter of a few weeks until the North Carolina General Assembly meets, it is only natural that citizens begin thinking of the gathering, and work of the lawmakers. One cannot think long on, this line without the subject of additional state income coming to the forefront. It was this which prompted The Transyl vania Times to come forth with an editorial last week setting forth the need of taxing diesel fuel oil, which is used in motor trucks. The Times reasoned the subject in this manner: One thing the next North Carolina Gener al Assembly should get around to doing is enactment of a law which-will either put a per gallon tax on diesel fuel oil used in trucks or charge a higher license-plate tax rate for trucks powered by diesel motors. Never a day passes but that an observer may see a dozen or more of these huge, box car commercial trucks, powered with diesel motors, going up and down the highways. Diesel motor fuel costs only from one third to one half as much as gasoline. These great, traffic-blocking vehicles are using and destroying the state highways without pay ing the usual gasoline tax that even a pas senger car pays! Fuel oil is tax-free. The only contribution these trucks are making to the upkeep end construction of highways is the paltry sum spent for the license plate. With the state faced with a need for more and more highway revenue, and - engineers reporting that North Carolina's primary road system is in the worst condition it has been in since the start of the good roads program, we think 1951 would be an appropriate time for the General Assembly to make some pro vision for getting an equitable road-use tax from' these hulking tractor-trucks using fuel oil.

But forget . fulness may also trace back to a . t wider fear of which you are un- conscious.

Answer: That is a probability which we must face, says Dr. Oscar J.

The longer we learn to keep' old people alive, the more vital it must become to find out how to keep them able to take care of themselves and be useful to their neighbors.

LICENSE PLATES You have from now until the last of January to get your beautiful license plates. we have been parading the Wake Forest colors of gold and hlaok for some time now. State College men snouid like the red-on-white color combination. The paint factory which colors the plates here may have some trouble getting the new hlend t stick. Although the new colors have been on sale for only a few days.. the State is already receivind complaints that the colors are wearing off. BONUS It is almost Impossible to predict what the present State administration is going to do next We hit it right three weeks ago wnen it was predicted here that the State would "have "to , borrow $10,000,000 to pay the teachers their bonus. This was all right for North Carolina, for it can reach into its treasury after March 15 Edwards Promoted To Master Sergeant Mark A. Edwaros, of Waynes ville, was promoted to the grade of Master Sergeant, recently, while serving near Nurnberg, Germany with Heavy Tank Company of the lew infantry Regiment, 1st In fantry Division. A 10-vear Armv veteran. 'F.d. wards served with the 30th Divi sion during the War and landed on Normandy four days after D-Day. His unit was involved in five major battles. Sgt. Edwards arrived in the European Command in September 1948. Cities and counties which pay Jocal supplements : to teachers and elhploy'extra teachers out of local funds are not finding it so easy. They are gasping for breath in their efforts to keep up with the State pay scale. You may see the WARNING. TO FARMERS The State Revenue Department is try ing to find some way to force farmers into filing1 income tax re turns. Although 500,000 Tar Heels filed returns last year, only about 10,000 of this half-million were farmers. The answer is that there is no way to make an accurate check on what the farmer earns each year. Revenue folks are frank ly worrying about it and may come up with a plan early next year. How should the three days' of school the students missed, be cause of the bad weather be made up? Mary Jane Rogers: Thev should be Lakqn. off ourChristmas hpliJ days, Decause it would be harder to go to school those extra days in the summer time. Bill Sutton: They should be made up in the spring. Because then the draft will not .get us for three more days. Linton Palmer: They should be made up at the end of school. But three days more or less won't make any difference. Ann Green; In the spring. BUREAU AND GRANGE North Carolina has the largest popula tion of any Southern state except Texas. It is still an agricultural, nevertheless, for only the Lone Star State leads us in the number of farms. . , . Farmers in .North Carolina have strength 88(yas shown two years ago when they promoted their agri culture commissioner to the Gov ernor's office. They make news too. For instance, the N. C. Farm Bu reau Federation announced last Friday night it had reached the membership goal of 69,000 set .for it by the million-member Ameri can Farm , Bureau Federation. However, the State group has a goal for itself of 80,000 members Gerald Ross: They just shouldn't. J. C. DeWeese: Next spring, be cause we should get our Christ mast vacation as it was scheduled. Nancy Leopard: Christmas holidays. During the Joyce Carter: Why not . make them up on Saturdays? when it moves into Dallas, Texas, for its national convention later this month. Last year the N. C. chapter was fifth in the U. S. and first in the South in total membership. Give credit for this power to that Farm Bureau veteran, Flake Shaw of Greensboro, executive vice presi dent. David Kelly, Yadkin County native who is. assistant secretary, and Alonzo Edwards of Greene County, the president. RAIN ON THE ROOF Rambling 'Round Bits Of Human Interest News By Frances Gilbert Frazier Why we should be thinking of roses right now, there is no telling unless it Is wishful thinking. But, somehow, Marchal Neil roses, rich In their glorious golden-yellow sdlendor, came sidling into our memory today. Perhaps the warm sun shining through our window re minded us of the old-fashioned gar den of the long ago. Deep scarlet throated roses whose fragrance Jermeated the air and found itself Irifting into the big "sitting-room" overlooking the garden. Delicate .link roses climbed their way. to beauty along the low fence separat ing one part of the garden from the other. But, to us, the most beauti ful sight of all was the trellis ar bor that wound itself down toward he river. For on this arbor, grew in riotous profusion, those gor geous butter-yellow, 'full-blown Marchal Nell roses. Nostalgia at its highest pitch! . Habit and routine see only one path. ".
