according to the American Merchant Marine Institute. Her best
passage between New York and Liverpool was 13 days, 8 hdurs, a

liner UNITED STATES. For over a decade the DREADNOUGHT
was the champion of the Atiantic Ocean before she was shifted to

How much money does it take
to operate a farm in North Caro
lina?
"Plenty,” say the experts, and
they have figures to prove it.
For example, a young couple
operating a small tobacco farm in
Person County would need a cap
ital investment of at least $15,000.
A beef cattle-cotton farmer in
Cleveland County would need
S50,000.
These are minimum figures as
represented by actual experience
on efficiently operated farms.
Many farms are capitalized to a
much greater extent.
According to H. B. James, head
of N. C. State College’s Depart
ment of Agricultural Economics,
a study of farm credit is now be
ing made in North Carolina and
11 other states under auspices of
the/ Senate Committee on Agricul
ture and Forestry. The study in
this State is being conducted by
the State Agricultural Mobiliza
tion Committee through a subcom
mittee made up of J. B. Slack,
State Farmers Home Administra
tion director, chairman; J. H. Hil
ton, dean of State College’s School
of Agriculture; and D. S. Weaver,
director of the State College Ex
tension Service.
Twelve counties located in th?
12 types of farming areas in North
Carolina have been selected for the
study. They are Wayne, Cleve
land, etrtie, Pasquotank, Rowan,
Person, Wake, Columbus, Watau:-
