low In farm Income, mainly be
cause our farms are too small to
produce much income under our
system of farming. Twenty acres
in ordinary crops cannot possibly
yield an iincpme sufficient to
support a farm family confort
ably, yet more than half the farm
ers of North Carolina cultivate less
than twenty acres. We need larger
cultivated acreage per farm. With
only twenty percent of our land
area in harvested crops it is easily
possible to increase the cultivated
acres per farm without decreasing
the farm population. If it cannot
be done that way. then a loss of
farm dwellers might not be cala
mitous provided the result were
larger farms, a larger income tier
farms, a larger income per farm
family, higher standards of living
for those remaining on the farm,
better markets for farm surpluses,
a better distribution of the popula
tion, and a more diversified econo
mic foundation. North Carolina
stands today an excessively rural
state, with unbelievably small farms
and an average farm income that
ranks near the bottom in the
United States.”
