Byrd, F. B. President,
Makes Statement
<?
The current ““ state-wide
drive by the North Caro
lina Farm Bureau is im
portant to all of us, Zeke
Byrd of Burnsville, Yancey
County FB president, de
clared this week because
“sound organization is the
farmer’s only means of ov
ercoming the inequality be
tween his production ef
forts and his return on that
production.”
“American farmers re
present 19 per cent of the 1
nation’s production,” he'
pointed out, “yet, even tho
ugh we are producing more
food and fiber than ever
before, our share of- the'
national income last year
was only eight per cent.

tion of the nation and much
of the world is important,
and it should return us a
fair share of the nation’s*
! income.”
Farmers need someone
• to speak for them, he added
i that’s where Farm Bureau
r fits in. ,
“Flake Shaw has told us,”
- the local president said,
! “that when he appears at'
■ Congressional hear ings
• some newly-arrived Con
■ gressman delight in asking
how many farmers he re
presents and who speaks
for the other farmers. Mr.
( Shaw has been fortunate
this past year in being able
to say he speaks for more
than 76,000 Tar Heel farm
families who are members
of Farm Bureau. But he
has also had to say that no
one speaks for the other
farmers unless they speak
for themselves.
“It means a lot to have
our Farm Bureau leaders
' supported by so many farm
' families, but there is no
| reason why they should not
include among their sup
porters many more mem
bers in this state. We have
a chance this year to push
our membership beyond
80,000, our minimum quota,
and I see no reason why we
should not do just that.”
Farm Bureau works for
all farmers, the county
leader said. It does not mat*
ter whether you are a land
owner, tenant, or share
cropper, he added, if you
are a member of Farm Bu
reau you are represented
equally on the national and
state level by our Farm
Bureau leaders.
“Let’s not sit back and
rest on the gains we have
made as farmers,” he con
cluded, “rather let’s get out
and do a real job of getting
members during this drivel

THE YANCEY RECORD
New Project to Be
Scheduled
The State Highway Com
mission will start work
soon on a new road job in
Yancey County.
The project calls for
grading, paving and struc
tures on US 11-E and NC
117 from a point on US 19-
E west of Burnsville east
across Cane River for 0.5
mile.
If a satisfactory low bid
is received at the Highway
Commission’s October 24
lotting, the project will be
let to contract with work
probably starting within
several weeks after that
date.
» ■
to nail down those gains
and to show everyone we
mean business and intend
to obtain the place in our
economy that we have ear
ned by hard work through
! the years.”
