Charles Richards
This morning a certain man was
in the cafe, and the discussion of
patterns of silver was brought up.
fie said he couldn't remember the
lume of their pattern of silver but
he thought it was "Courtship/* We
had a big laugh oecau^e none of us
hid ever heard of that pattern of
course it is possible for it to be
named that but we had never heard
of ft. Names for patterns of china,
silver and crystal have become so
fantastic that anything is possible.
Yesterday while out news gather
ing it was fascinating to see how
the various county offices wererdec
orated for Christmas. As you .walk
ed from office to office the^piiit
of Chrflflhawvould gitwt jajk-^pd
the atmosphere just sAeiaw|pr1ike
Christmas. jScijje fit fhe wr.ice* J |
Vidted vfci?fha& prefty decora
tions were the DPC'A, AriCS, Agri
cultural building. Auditors office
and various others. It .is lots of
fun to see the many ways people
express themselves with damnations
at Christmastime.. I think that is
one of the beauties of Christmas,
most any arrangement or any idea
that comes to ones mind is accep
table. Everything is pretty, and
children are allowed to express
their artistic ability and they home
times come up with remarkable
originality.
Have you read in the "Ford
Times" for January issue "Ver
mont's Weirdest Legend"? I re
member reading the story about ten
years ago and it created a lot of
conversation Bt that time, so 1 was
interested when I saw that it had
been re-printed. It seems that in
the mountains of Vermont in a very
poor section, many, many years
ago, they had a custom of quick
freezing and storing people for the
winter. Such persons as grandmas
and grandpas, crippled aunts and
uncles and the hired help were too
much of a burden to feed during
the long winter months, and food
was to scarce to last all winter. The 1
unneeded persons were drugged
with a specially prepared "mon
shine". given a quick freeze, put
away in layers in boxes in a cold
spot where animals could not bot
her them. Then when May 10th ar
rived, the people were taken out of
the boxes, thawed out, fed a hearty
meal and started about their daily
routine of living. Read it. it is fas*
cinating!

Farm Commissioner Takes Look
At 1962 Farm Income Picture
North Carolina farmers probably
received more money in 1962, but
little if any more ::take home" pay
in the foriy of net incpme.
In a year-end statement on the
Tar iMeel farming picture, ?Agricul
ture Commissioner L. V. Ballentine
eetimatns Ibat gross cash farm re
ceipts will exceed last year's re
cord high by some $10 to $15 rifil
lion. Hp poinfs out. however, ^hat
the rising cost-of-productio&vtrend
has continuedJn 19?2 and the
state's total nef farm income will
be about the same as last year's
total of $6t8 million.
The commissioner emphasized
that o'ficial statistics for 1962 have
not yet been completed and that
the estimates are his own projec
tions of information available to
date.
"Looking at the over-all picture."
h? said, 'we have reason to hope
that total cash receipts from farm
marketings and government pay
ments will amount to $1,167 million
breaking the record high of $1,155
million reached last year."
Summarizing his rstamate of the
farm income picture, the commis
sioner predicts cash receipts from
the S3le of livestock and livestock
products may exceed last year's to
tal of $322 million by some $5 mil
lion. while crops will probably
brine about 2 million less than the
800 million total last year. Govern
ment payments during 1962 totaled
$42 million, $10 million more than
in 1961.
"The bulk of the increased Gov
ernment payments are attributable
to the Wheat Stabilization Program,
which was not in effect before 19
62," he explained. "1 understand
that North Carolina farmers receiv
ed slightly more than $9 million for
wheat diversion under this pro
gram in 1962.
Receipts from sale of livestock
and livestock products during the
first nine months of 1962 amounted
to $240.986.000-almost $1 million
short of the $241,867,000 received
during the same period in 1961.
Although receipts during the early
months of 1962 fell rather substan
tially below those same months in

ginning with the month of June.
During the past two to three mon
ths. the monthly totals have been
running between $2 to $3 million a
bove corresponding months in 1961.

1961 tjpre was a sharp break an

broilerj income during the latter
partfoMhat year. In the early mon
ths bf 1962 broiler prices were ac
tually slightly below the same per
iod in 1961, but we did not get
the break in prices, so that the broi
ler situation for the year as a whole
is better than last year. Prices for
other livestock and livestock prod
ucts during 1962 have been in fav
orable relation with 1961. I would
anticipate, therefore, that receipts
from sales of livestock and live
stock products during the last three
months of the calendar year should
exceed last year by at least $3 or
$6 million.
