MAX CAMPBELL Editor Entered as second class matter November 15, 1934, at Post Office at Hertford, North Carolina, un der the Act of March, 1879. North Carolina wJV SUBSCRIPTION RATES $2.00 Per Year Advertising rates furnished by request FRIDAY, lAPRIL 3, 1963. A Bad Precendent La5t week a majority of the imem- bers of the North Carolina iLegisia Tvassed an act which in our opin ion sets a bald, precedent for future meetings of our General Assembly. The 1953 Legislature enacted a measure providing an appropriations sub-committee the right to hold se cret meetings in arriving at a bud get for the state for tne next wo years. This action is -contrary to demo cratic procedure, and could well lead to future actions detremental Ito our democratic form of government. Faced with ttJi task of reviewing and! cutting proposed budget requests to fit the state's Sncome during the next two years, members of (this Bub committee found themselves !n a po sition they evidently did not relish es pecially in the public eye. Attempts to hold secret -meetings failed and the sub-committee had the General Assembly change the law to suit its purpose. To our way of thinking the Btate budget is the public's business, and the public is entitled to know the pro cess under which the expenditures of the budget are set There can be no doubt itbat the task of appeasing all departments of the state government, in arriving at a budget, is not a pleasant one, but this newspaper believes "members of the General Assembly realize, there are unpleasant tasks as wll as pleas- ing ones connected with serving in the Legislature and those (who $eek the office should stand ready to do necessary duties as well as the popu lar ones. The leaders of the USSR ido not re gard a few aviators lives as worth bothering about. ; And then there was the man,Tn 1946 who was going to wait for prices to go back down. ; rain oiucjiiij wc April 4 Classified CilLegds FOR SALE PIONEER SEED CORN See Watte NoWell, WinfaU, N.

Greens boro, N. C. Mar27.pr3,10 U. S. Population And Food Supply Dr. Byron T. Shaw, head Of the United1 States Agriculture Department Research Branch, says the present abundance of food in the United States is only temporary and that the pop ulation is steadily outdistancing in creased food production. In a speech, in St. Louig, recently, Dr. Shaw esti mated the nation's growth at 2,500,000 persons a year. He placed births in 1952 at 3,889,' 000, which represents a record baby crop. Because the dieath rate is be ing cut down steadily, the population increase is being expanded from two directions -more births and fewer deaths. . . Dr. Shaw estimates that the copu lation of the United States will be at least 190,000,000 by 1975 and says that U. S.. farmers will have to pro duce one4hird imore food than they did in 150 if the living standard is to toe retained where it to, with this in creased population. He estimates that at the present production "rate the one-third increase would require about 100,000,000 acres of crop lands, though this much good farm land is not avail able. Dr. IShaw believes most of the good crop lands in this country are now being farmed. The obvious solution is to make the available acreage produce more. Even if Dr. Shaw's estimate is correct, that 80,000,000 more acres of food land can be found, then 'the total acreage available to U. 8. farmers in 1975 will have to produce what another 70,000, 000 acres could produce at present production rates. It is questionable whether the avail able hind can be made to produce this much more food, per acre, by 1975. Shaw says most -of the bright ideas scientists have come up with for in creasing production in recent years have already been utilized. He lists mechanization, new methods of far tilizing and new fertilizers, and new lines of plants, such as hybrid Corn, and new breed of animals. " The De partment of lAgrlcjiltnnB ffical be lieves ft is becoming harder to dis cover ways to Increase production, per acre, and If his appraisal 1r correct, 1w have to m tirmini iA feed those-190,000,00 Americans of 1975." a--' " The state's annual "Farm Cleanup Week", planned to reduce livestock and poultry losses from disease, in jury and parasites, is set for the week of March 29 through April 4. The American Foundation for Ani mal Health said farmers can increase this year's livestock profits and re duce needless loss of animals by join- inor in this clean-up drive. Livestock and farm organizations throughout the nation were invited to cooperate in observing the special week. x The Foundation outlined a seven point program for the drive: 1. Clean and disinfect buildings and pens, especially those used for birth or housing of young animals and birds. 2. Clean up barnyards and lots to eliminate old piles of refuse and ma nure which might be infested with germs and parasites. 3. Get rid of old strawstacks. Plow under or scatter the straw, which of ten harbors germs and parasites. : 4. Drain or fence off low spots in barn lots. (Stagnant pools and mud are breeding places for infection. 5. Pick up nails, glass and other sharp objects which could cause wounds or could be swallowed by live stock. 6. Check for protruding nails, brok en stalls or other defects which could injure livestock, paving the way for infection. . -' 7. (Move young animals to fresh, clean ground as soon as possible. Have pigs vaccinated against cholera, and against erysipelas in areas where it is authorized by state officials and recommended by the local veteri narian, 1 : The Foundation said a successful Farm Cleanup Week could be sub stantially reduce the annual half- billion dollar livestock loss caused by disease and parasites. : N.
