In Agriculture as Tn all
walks of life, there is nothing
so certain as change. The far
mer must constantly adjust
his farming pattern to meet
these changes.
In spite of its large farm
population and its abundance
of small farms, Yancey County
has ample land for expanding
its Agriculture.
Clearly this calls for better
Agricultural planning than
has been practiced in the past.
True, farmers have met aga
inst all odds the demands
made of them, but our plann
ing has often been haphazard,
temporary and short-sighted.
We have borrowed from the
future by depleting our soil
and stripping our woodlands.
The Challenge now confront
ing us will be to increase pro
duction, and, at the same time,
conserve and improve our soil
water, woodlands and other re
sources.
It was for these reasons that
this long-range Agricultural
Program, “The Challenge”
was prepared for Yancey Cou-
Tity. Technical improvements
such as machinery suited to
the county, improved pasture
mixtures, hybrid seed and bet
ter pest control call for exten
sive changes in our farming
pattern. Shifts in the demand
and prices paid for farm pro
ducts require farmers to ad
just their production accord
ingly. The fact that the farm
family is demanding the same
conveniences and level of liv
ing as city people means that
adjustments must be made in
rural community living.
To solve these problems,
Yancey County farm people
and business men should un
ite wholeheartedly toward tbe
preparation of a long-range
Agricultural Program dedicat
ed to:
Increase Per Capita Income,
Greater Security, Improved
Educational Opportunities, Fi
ner Spiritual Values, Stronger
Community Life, More Dignity
and Contentment in Country
Living.
The strength of coordinated
action to solve farm problems
has been demonstrated time
and again in North Carolina
and Yancey County. Perhaps
the best example has been with
tobacco where growers have
continued to vote for Market
ing Quotas and have been ac
tive members in a cooperative

marketing movement. Another
good example is the Green Pas
tures Campaign which helped
increase Ladino Pasture from
500 acres in 1945 to 700,000
acres in 1950. The same kind
of concerted action should be
pledged and will be needed to
carry out this long-range pro
gram, “Yancey County Accepts
The Challenge”.
There are things which the
individual cannot accomplish
on his own—times when he
must band together with oth
ers and rely on the old truth
that “there’s strength in num
bers.” It is then that his own
organization of individuals
like himself is his best ally.
A lough draft of the pro
posal for better Agriculture
for Yancey County will be pre
sented to farm leaders and
business men throughout the
County at the Yancey County
Courthouse Monday night at
8:00 p. m.
As mentioned in weeks past,
most of the suggestions and
recommendations presented in
this long-range Agricultural
Program will be directed to
you, the farm people of Yan
cey County, and will call for
action on your part.
The real worth of this farm
program will be measured in
terms of how many county and
community leaders it stimulat
es to work for needed improve
ments. Its worth will be told
in the number of farm families
that make the recommended
adjustments. Whose is the re
sponsibility, then, for putting
this program into effect? You,
the farm families of Yancey
County. With the help of all'
the Agricultural Agencies 0 f
Yancey County.

CONCENSUS HERE is that it
prices should continue to rise,
articularly in the food line, Presi
lent Truman will call the 82nd corn
'ress into special session some
me this summer after the politi
al conventions are over.
Another possible reason for recall
f congress is the stumbling block
t placed in the path of the Atomic
Energy Commission in a rider to
ts appropriation bill to the effect
' hat AEC could not start any proj
let if money was not on hand to
inish it.
• • •
In the meantime both house and
'cnate held a noon until dawn ses
ion and put through in those de
<ate-studded hours S4B billion in ap
'ropriations over which they had
teen wrangling for six months. It
eems to be the nature of congress.
10 matter how long the debate nor
'ow long they have had appropria
ions before them, to wait until the
ast minute for their passage and
hen cram through billions in ap
propriations. In many instances
'pork barrel” money gets into
hese last minute votes without the
najority of the members knowing
ust what is in the bills.
While this congress has made'
ome slashes in the military ex
lenditures both foreign and do
nestic, it does not necessarily mean
here will be any cut-down in mili
ary expenditures. As a matter of
'act more cash will be paid out
luring the next 12 months for mili
'ary needs than in the past. Starting
with this fiscal year July 1 expendi
tures for defense production will
jxcee'’ billion in the next 12
month .’hat's more than $4 billion
a month and is s2l billion more
than was spent in fiscal 1952 just
ending, when cash outlays totalled
S3B billion. About sl9 billion was
spent in 1951 as compared to S’2
Teachers From Many Areas
Attend Art School Here
Twenty eight teachers from
schools reaching from Burns
ville High to Apex, on the out
skirts of Raleigh, are register
ed in the second course offered
here by the extension division
of the Woman’s College of the
University of North Carolina.
WCUNC this summer is giv
ing three education courses,
in conjunction with the School
of Fine Arts, which specializ
es in courses in drama, music,
painting, dance and writing.
Miss Ruth Gunter, who is
supervisor of second grades
at the Currie Demonstration
School of WCUNC, and is as
sistant professor of education,
is teaching a course in super
vision of the reading program.
“We are helping teachers
improve their teaching o f
reading,” she explained. “Even
high school children have trou
ble with their reading, which
is the basis of all other stud
ies. If teachers are to benefit
the children, they’ve got to
know how to do it.”
Some of the teachers are
working toward their master’s
degrees, others are taking the
course for certificate credit,
and others are working toward
their bachelor’s degree.
They come from Bald Creek
High, Lindley Elementary
School in Greensboro, Marion
schools, Pleasant Gardens
High, Double Island School
Lexington city schools, Ellerbe
school—in the eastern part of
the state, Bowman High in
Bakersville, North Cove School
Burnsville High, Bee Log High
Micaville High, Glen Alpine
School, Clearmont High, Apex
School and the Leaksville
Spray School.
The course will continue
through next week. The fina

military aid the expenditures it
fiscal 1953 will total approximately
$7.5 billion as compared to slightly
more than $2 billion in 1952. So mil

The Department of Defense has
taken exception to statements made
by the Senate preparedness sub
committee on comparison of fire
power between an American and a
Russian division. The Senate sub
committee reported that man-for
man a Russian army division has
10 percent more firepower than its
US. counterpart. The Pentagon
says that’s not true as evidenced by
the fact that 13 U.S. divisions in
Korea have fought to a standstill,
82 Communist divisions which are
organized and equipped with the
Soviet organizational concept. In
addition the Pentagon said the U.S.
division has more mobility, more
effective communications, ability to
maintain and repair weapons and
equipment and has other special
services not furnished to Soviet
soldiers. ,
