FORCE TOTALS 28,952 North Carolina Jfirms, subject to the State’s Employment Security Law, climbed to a new high in . the num bers of their employees protected by the law, with an average of 649,307 workers during the last quarter of 1947, or an increase of 36.8 per cent over the average employment under the act in 1940, states Henry E. Kendall, chairman of the Employment Security Commission of North Caro lina. t Indicative of the industrial progress made in the State, a study was made by the Bureau of Research and Statis tics. It reveals that 882,179 workers were engaged in non-agricultural em ployment'in 1947, an increase of 10.3 per cent over such employment in 1940. Out of a population of 3,718, 000, Census estimate in 1947, the to tal labor force (as of 1946) was ap proximately 1,390,000 in the State, an j increase of 4.2 per cent over the labor force in 1940. \ Covered employment in manufac ture reached 398,856 in 1947, an in crease of 24.8 per cent over tjae rec ord for 1940. On the other hand, ag ricultural employment in 1947 was es timated at 390,000, a decrease of 4.7 per cent from 1940. The study reveals that 63.6 per cent of the State’s labor force was engag ed in non-agricultural employment in 1947; that 28.7 per ecnt oU the total labor force was in manufacturing em ployment; that 61.4 per cent of the covered employment was in manufac ture, and that 73.6 per cent of the non-agricultural employment was in covered employment. The 26.5 per cent of the non-agri cultural employment which was not in covered employment is indicative of the large numbers of small firms, i SHE’LL HAVE MORE FUN IN A HOME YOU OWN No restraints because “the landlord won’t allow it” when you own your own home.

FARMERS ARE ADVISED * TO PLAN ADJUSTMENTS Although the future is uncertain and prices for farm products may de cline within the next few years, the progressive and efficient farmer can begin now to prepare himself for bad times as well as good, believes Chas. E. Clark, Extension farm manage ment specialist at State College. Mr. Clark said farmers must sys tematically plan adjustments to meet any unfavorable conditions which may arise. In such planning, he add ed, they should keep a watchful eye on these factors: Maintenance of high yields per acre for all crops; best combination of enterprises, for highest returns; shifts from animal power to tractor power; adoption of latest recommended cultural prac tices; and use of cover crops and other conservation practices for best land use. The key word for successful farm ing in the future is efficiency, the specialist asserted. Additional ferti lizer, use of soil-conserving legumes in rotation, use of labor-saving ma chinery, better seed varieties, and better pest and insect control mea sures will cost more, but the addition al expenditures may be more than justified in increased yields per acre. Adoption of latest recommended practices in all enterprises will lead to greater efficiency, Mr. dark said. The proper combination of all enter prises according to the suitability of the land will pay dividends over the years. The livestock system must be balanced with cash crops, and feed production geared to the needs of the farm. Addition of machinery best fitted to the needs of the particular farm to replace the “hay-burners” will add to efficiency, the Extension special ist added. The feed released in the replaced workstock will mean possi bility of an increase in productive livestock. Church Directory CHRISTIAN Rev. Z. B. T.
