Soybean
Industry
Healthy
the MARCH
of DIMES
The continued good health of
the soybean industry In the
United States has been fore
cast.
Robert W. Judd, managing
director of the National Soy
bean Crop Improvement Coun
cil, says soybeans may sur
pass both wheat and cotton in
value of the national crop within
the next decade.
Speaking before the annual
meeting of the N. C. Crop Im
provement Association and the
N. C. Foundation Seed Pro
ducers at North Carolina State,
Judd said, "The years 1961,
*62 and ‘63 have been the three
largest for soybean production
In U. S. history. . .however,
even with this Increase, there
will be less than five per cent
of one year's production carried
over when the 1964 crop harvest
begins.”
The Industry, which North
Carolina practically gave birth
to in this country in 1915, has
grown to rank among the largest
of the nation’s agricultural in
dustries.
Domestically produced soy
beans were first processed Into
meal and oil In 1915 at a cotton
seed mill at Elizabeth City.
Since that time the soybean has
become the nation’s fourth most
valuable cash crop.
The 1963 U.S, corn crop Is
valued at $4.5 billion, wheat
$3.1 billion and cotton $2.9
billion. Judd said American
farmers will receive about $L6
billion for the 701 million
bushel soybean crop.
"I predict soybean will rise
above wheat In the next three
years, Judd told his audience.
“It Is conceivable that within
the next 10 years our cotton
crop will become less valuable
than the surging soybean,” he
added.-
Soybean production has
tripled In the last 15 years,
from the 234 million bushels
produced In 1949. In North
Carolina—the state that led In
production until the mldrl920’s
—the crop has expanded as
much as the national rate with
in the last 15 years, but the
state’s acreage expansion rate
Is below the national average.
GREEN CANDLE -- Raeford Klwanlans are urging local citizens to light "Green Candles of

AND
Each year at Easter time
throughout the world green can
dles are lit In symbolic hope for
the oppressed people of the
world. This year the Raeford
Klwanls Club will Join In the
ceremony.
The club has asked that citi
zens of Hoke County unite with
them In this expression of free
dom. The Support of Churches
committee headed by Marion
Gatlin, chairman. Is busily dis
tributing posters asking every
home to light the Green Candle
of Hope on Easter morning.
Gatlin said that the people
behind the Iron Curtain know
that open resistance against
orders is futile. Yet, they
have acquired skill in outwitting
the regime. They now cele
brate the ‘‘festival of the fir
tree” by lighting a single green
candle on thelr_ trees. They
chose green because it Is the
color of hope. They want to feel ^ charge
that they are no lortl^eF abaft- ’
doned.
The custom of lighting a green
candle is no longer confln^ to
Christmas. The hopeful now
place a single green candle on
their table at Easter. They call
it the candle of hope and re
surrection. Iron Curtain re
fugees are spreading the Idea
of the green candle of hope all
over the free world. Their
philosophy Is, “We who live
In freedom shall retain our
freedom; those who have lost
their freedom shall regain their
freedom.”
‘‘At this coming Easter sea
son the Raeford Klwanls Club
requests that you place a green
candle on your table. These will
turn Into powerful flood lights
of warmth and sympathy that
will shine Into prisons, concen
tration camps and dreary homes
of the oppressed masses behind
the Iron Curtain,” said John
Manuel, Klwanls president.
Next Thursday the club will
dedicate Its program to this
J. W. Canady in
cause with
