NAM! toon no. . i ADDRESS ment of the Southern Division of the National Association of Manu facturers. . i 1 v ' Noting that the American work- era progress and standard of liv ing has been directly related to the amount of power and capital at bis disposal, i-oynor stated mat there now; are about fou rand one-half million tractors in use, "It we assume that they average approximately, 37 horsepower, we will have about 120 million horse power at the disposal of our farm er!. Since one man generally works at the rate of about one-eighth horsepower, this 120 million horse power represents the equivalent of any army of approximately one bil lion men. . .- ..; . 'Decreasing in number while rap idly increasing the total power at his disposal makes the average Am-, erican farmer a man of increasing importance." Poynor declared that the South Atlantic and East Central states of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Cotton Charmer By VERA WINSTON NICE for town or country is 'this little cotton dress because it takes so well to dressy or casual accessories.

Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida Kentucky, Ten nessee, Alabama r and 1 Mississippi "represents a greater future poten tial tor mechanization than any re gion in our country."-''" ' ' ' "The farm population of these states was 11,283,000 in 4940. By 1890 it had decreased to 9,370,000. In Georgia; for - example, the 1940 farm population was 43 and one- half per cent of the total Now if is 30 per cent . "We see then that even though the percentage 1 of . farm - population ' to the total is approximately twice as great in the; Southeastern states as it is for the nation as a 'whole, it is decreasing at a much faster rate than, tor the rest of the country." Poynor declared that increasing the size of the farms In the South east was one of the area's major problems. For the Southeast as a whole," he said, "the average acreage of cotton per farm is only 14 acres. Ninety per cent of the farms har vest less than 25 acres and 97 per cent less than 50 acres. "Dr. H. B. James, head of the De partment of Agricultural Econom ics at North Carolina State Col lege, recently stated that studies made in his state indicate many work stock farms are too small to utilize tractor poer and equipment efficiently. It was his belief that 'transforming little farms into big farms is one of the real problems associated with the mechanization of agriculture in the Southeast'." Jordan Seeks YDC Presidency John R.
