We also learned that whlen we get enough particulars, they constitute a generality. Ten years ago we used to pay around a hundred dollars a month for lights and power. Today we use considerably more electricity and pay less for it. Over in England the government socialized the power industry six months ago, and in that six months the cost to consumers has increased 50 per cent. This case is a particular. Taken with other par ticulars such as the spiraling British cost of living, the increasing cost of government, and the general inefficiency of nationalized British industry, it con stitutes a generality that living is neither as pleas ant nor as profitable under socialism as it is under the free enterprise system of America. order applications, in keeping stamps on hand so that your letters and cards tnay be stamped before placing in the rural box, and the other little things that help your carrier render better “Service with a smile.” —i 9 Bankers Emphasize Soil Conservation flProimotion of soil conservation, cooperation with farm youth and their high school pupils in their ed ucational program', and continua tion of the fight against, farm land .price inflation are receiving special emphasis in the North Carolina Bankers Association pro gram for 1948-49, according to John F. McNair, Jr., of Laurin- burg. .president of the association. Calling special attention to the agricultural yaking contest for hi^ ^hpol students, which the Bqiiikei^ Association is sponsoring this year for the'fourth time, Mr. McNair said: “LaCt year more than 4;000 contestahts^lrom 303. schools entered the contest, and total a- wards were in ercess of $6,000. So we shall not be surprised to have more than 5,000 contestants with, total awards near the $10,000 mark for tile 1949 contest.” ' “It is our desire,” Mr. McNair continued, “to see this contest en larged each year. We firmly be lieve that tile people of North Carolina will show financial growth or decline in relationship to their care of the soil.” The cooperation of school au thorities in conducting the contest has been exellent, the Laurinburg banker asserted. “We consider the speaking contest one of the most important activities of the Bank ers Association agricultural com mittee, for through it both young and old learn more about the importance of proper soil conser- cation methods. As a part of this activity, the committee also sug gests support of the forestry pro gram as an important phase of soil conservation.” The general subject for the con test is “Proper Land Use nd Treatment—^Its Effect upon the Economy . of North Carolina.” Students and teachers may obtdin full infonhation from any local agricultural workers or by writing to J. Frank Doggett, soil conserva tionist for the State College Ex tension Service, Raleigh. » 0 32 Breeding Co-Ops Formed In Past Year Social Security ^ Insurance In Brief Social Security Tax Reports for the quatter ending Dec.ember 31, Isis'are duie by January 31, 1948.

'"A -'Ai- ■* CCAROLINA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY) Thirty-two coo.perative associa tions for artificial breeding of dairy cattle were formed in North Carolina during 1948, bringing the total number of associations in the State to 35, according to John F. Brown, dairy specialist for the State College Extension Service. Prior to 1947, there was only one association in the State, oper ating in Forsyth County. Yadkin and Davis Counties formed associ ations which began operation in the fall of 1947. Mr. Brown said the 35 associa tions now in operation cover more than 40 counties and have a mem- her^ip in excess of 5,000 farmers. North Carolina, he added, now ranks right up among the large dairy states in the total number of associations in operation. The last two counties to organize under the .program were Wake and Wayne, which formed associations late in the year. Chatham and Wil son are among the counties now considering the artificial breeding program. ATTENTION, MR.
