(International; Americans Can Mix Humor With Big Farm Problems By BILL WHITLEY SERIOUS. It's practically unani mous that America's farm prob lems are at the emergency stage, and government officials are almost all agreed that the problems should be settled on a non-partisan basis. In short, It's a lob to be done, and not one to worry about who will be credited with solving It. But as serious as it is. there is an element of humor in It. Tradi tionally. Americans are people who can smile even under the worst ctrcumstances. The worst wars have produced some of this coun try's most amusing and humorous literature, for example. Naturally, then, there is the Ensley and Mrs. Vance Robinson went later and accompanied Mrs. Ensley home The Clyde P.T.A will hold a regular monthly meeting at the school auditorium next Thurs day afternoon at 2.30 p.m. All pareaits are urged to attead.-Mrs. Carl Glllts. president, will be in charge.

Farmers And themselves kidding each other about the low prices they are receiving, and they make jokes to forget the crisis they face BEST. Recently, the Washington correspondent for the Winston Salem Journal, Pat Muhroe, went through the midwestern farm belt, and he turned up what is consid ered the best Joke of''all about farmers and their troubles As Pat tells it. the incident took place on a mldwestern farm where pork isn't worth a pig's squeal. It seems that this hog farmer was awakened In Ihe nlghl by his wife. "A thief is out in the hog pen, John He's stealing every hog we've got.' John hushed his wife and whis pered: "Don't make any noise. You niight run the thief away be fore he gets the hogs '' ' ROSES. During the Christmas holidays, Congressmen get far more Christmas - cards and other holiday greetings than they can possibly acknowledge But one lawmaker. Sen. W. Kerr Scott, received a Christmas gift that he'll remember all year The six ladles who make up his secretarial staff all chipped in and gave him roses for the whole year of 1956 . . . one rosebud each morn ing to put on his lapel (Confidentially, the Senator says . he s not accepting unless the girls themselves agree to pin the roses on his laDel each morning when he arrives for work.) VISITORS. Quite a few Tar Heels were seen moseying around Washington as the new session of Congress opened. Some were tourists, a few were interested in legislation, and some others were still Christmaslng. Rut one was checking on chewing to bacco. He was Arch Taylor of Winston Salem, one of the old-time chewing tobacco manufacturers. For years he has been sending Senator Scott a carton of chewing tobacco from time to time. The other day. he walked Into Scott's office and said: "Just wanted to make sure the Senator is still geting his tobacco okay." It takes a considerate gentle man to be that concerned about the safety arrival of chewing tobacco.

(EDITOR'S NOTE: The follow lac article Is reprinted from the December imue of the Vnlreroity of North Carolina News Letter.) North Carolina la a state of small farms In 1950 our farms averagtd the smallest In the United Su es and undoubtedly this will remain true for 1954 The average size of our farms went up by 1.2 acres, o tal area, and 0.8 on an acre in crop land harvested per farm. While farms have steadily Increased in North Carolina throughout our en tire history, there has been little or no Increase In the amount of farm land, or total cultivated acres. In 1880 North Carolina had 23,763.000 acres of farm land, while in 1954 we had only 18.260.000 acres'. The cultivated acres per farm has de clined steadily for 100 years or so. from 96 acres in 1850 to 22.5 acres in 1954 During the last 20 years or s6, there has been little change. During this latter period, cultivat ed acreage has held steadily around 21 to 22 acres per farm. In 1954 the average farm in North Carolina contained 68.2 acres and our farms averaged the smallest in the United States. We have been working to wards this position for a number of years and have finally achieved bot tom rank in site of farms. The above figure Is the arith metic average, that Is, to the total farm acreage divided by the total number of farms. The jnedian farm acreage, that is. the middle farm in North Carolina is less than 88 acres, since a few large farms off set a number of small farms in an arithmetic average. The 1954 cen sus shows that there are 34,479 farms under 10 acres; 76.672 farms from 10 to 29 agres in site; 49 329 farms from 30 to 49 acres in size, and 31.778 farms from 50 to 69 acres in size Thus, in 1954 there were 192.258 farms ranging in size from under 10 acres to 69 acres, total area. It is therefore seen that approximately, seventy two oer cent of the farms of North Carolina average below the state average of 68.2 acres in size. This is probably the most significant fact about North Carolina as an agricultural state We simply are a state of small farms and we will never rank high on a per farm income basis so long as this exists. What is even more important is the amount of land actually harv ested per farm Total acreage in cludes cropland, pastureland. wood land, waste and other land. The , true size of a farm is more ac curately measured by the number ; of %cres harvested. The 1954 census showed that there were 77.423 farms where the i harvested acreage in 1954 ranged 1 from one to nine acres, and 67, 558 farms whose harvested acreage ranged from 10 to 19 acres. Thus 144.981 farms out of 245.703 re porting on cultivated acreage harvested crops from fewer than 19 acres in 1954 In harvested acres per farm. North Carolina ranks close to the bottom among all the states Only one state. West Virginia, ranks below North Caro lina in harvested acres per farm. It can thus be said that more than In any other state, North Caro lina farms are small scale units. We not only have the smallest farms in the United States, but we have more small farms than any other state in the Union. North Carolina has more farmers cultivat ing fewer than 10 acres than any other state, and we have more farmers cultivating only between 10 and 19 acres than any other state. / | ii inus appears inai agriculture would benefit from fewer farms, provided the land could be ab sorbed by the remaining farmers. The state would benefit if several thousands of these small farmers could find additional part-time work or, better still, could move out of agriculture entirely into better paying jobs in industry and other occupations. Puerto Rico's birth rate dropped 18 per cent from 1947 to 19S4. says the Population Reference Bu reau.

(International) Not Even An ElQpement Exites The Warren Family I 1 By JANE EADS WASHINGTON ? The Chief Justice and Mrs. Earl Warren, like most parents of large families, are conditioned to cope with any situa tion and take the surprises as well as the planned procedings of their six childien in stride. .
