napolis, Ind., director of Business and
Professional Women’s Groups of the
United Christian. Missionary Society,
was the principal ■ speaker. Miss
Schutze, in her captivating maimer,
brought a message of love, devotion,
service and work.
She developed the theme how we
are made in the image of God, not
physically, but spiritually, and if we
but develop these potentialities, we
can, through this, inspiration within,
inspire others. Also, we should hot
feel our missions in the foreign fields
are any further from our hearts than
our local societies; for, it is us, the
people, who make these missions pos
sible through our desire to be of ser
vice to others.
Being a missionary, Miss Schutze
was in a position to tell us how grate
ful the people of these missions are,
and she illustrated their ways of show
ing their gratitude. -
After a delightful luncheon was
enjoyed, the afternoon session opened
with reports from the various towns.
Then, Miss Schutze stressed what
a challenge it was to support our
missions with money, and prayers.
She then outlined the distribution of
the missionary dollar and stated that
a missionary ^dollar does one dollar
and sixty-five" cents worth of work,
due to the gifts given on the mission
Helds, after being trained in the love
of God and the desire to share with
others. She closed her address with
the reading of the Prliyer of Francis
.A

the talk delivered at
Monday night by E. Y. Floyd, a for
mer official of the State 'Extender
Service who now seme aa director
of the V&jgiiria-CaroHnas Plant Food
Institute. ' Ssiv
Mr. Floyd, whose job now is tc
direct research and educational pro
grams of-an organization formed by
the banding together of 25 fertilizer
manufacturers in the states affected,
was the guest of Carl T. Hicks of
Walstonburg. Mr. Hicks, president
of the , TObacco Stabilization Cor
poration and one of the prime movers
in farm control programs, In intro
ducing the visiting speaker, praised
him for his work .with the various
agricultural programs.
Mr. Floyd stated-that North Caro
lina produces 67.6 per 'cent of all to
bacco produced in the flue-cured area
and reminded his listeners that the
current farm program, important as
it is to this section, is on shaky legis
lative territory. H* stated that it
waa passed by a one-vote- margin;
and that certain interests in the
country are fighting to have it re
pealed.
The need for intensive research and
education along agricultural lines
was emphasized in Floyd’s statement
that non-farm income increased 21
per cent between 1947 and 1950, while
the agricultural income suffered a de
cline of 25.7 per cent over the same
period. Farto incomes were up in
1951, but they are now on the decline
again.
Research and agricultural leaders
have their Bights on a $1 Mi-billion
agricultural'income for,North Caro
lina within the next 10 years. This
goal represents an income of nearly
double the present |800-million in
come. But the Kiwanis speaker in
sisted that it could be met if research
and education are given their right
ful places in agricultural pursuits.
He told of the cooperation agricul
ture is receiving from such projects
as “Nickels fpr Know How1* and
stated that leaders of the 1951 legis
lature, who gave agriculture its
rightful share of public funds for re
search and education, told farm group
officials that money for such projects
would be easier to obtain in the fu
ture if. those most vitally concerned,
the fanners themselves, evidenced an
eagerness to do their utmost in sup
porting the programs.
Mr. Floyd told toe chib that cer
tain interests in the state were oppos
ed to farm programs, and that it was
up to the farmers, through agricul
ture and research, to show, those an
tagonistic interests that the Strength
of the farm economy determined, in a
final analysis, the financial strength
of the entire state, /
Mr. Floyd paid high compliments to
this section for its strong leadership
in farm-organizations, such as the
Farm Bureau, and singled out Mr.
Hicks and Alex Allen for their work.
J. Irvin Morgan, .J*, wa* the guest
of Mr. Hicks, and Miss Jeanette Hol
lis, who is to produce a play here next
