State Farm Income Increased In 1954 Farmers in North Carolina re ceived a total cash income of $927, 823,000 for agricultural commodi ties in 1954, the North Carolina Crop Reporting Service has an nounced. , This exceeded by almost 23 million dollars the income from this source in 1953, a relative in crease: of about two and one-half per cent. ,. ' ' Tobacco, as usual, led all com modities in -value of sales, making up $497,287,000, or 53.6 per cent, of the total and represented about 70 per cent of the income from all crops. Next in . importance was cotton and cottonseed, which con tributed $76,820,000, : or ' 8.3 per cent, to total receipts. This second place income, however, was dwarf ed by that from tobacco 'which was about six and a half times greater. If all poultry and 'poultry pro ducts are considered together, they really would take second "place, be cause they amounted to $90,910,000 and made up 10 per cent of the to tal. Third greatest income was from dairy products amounting to 1 $55,528,000 and makinjr up six per ! the moome of $52,270,000 from the sale of hogs, 5.6 per cent of the total.

Good Neighbor Days is a retail promotion being held for the third consecutive year in which Norfolk and Portsmouth merchants offer bargains and savings of many types arid varieties. The promotion is held primarily to acquaint the shoppers of this area with the scope of the retail shopping facili ties in Norfolk and Portsmouth. The promoters say . that it is not their intention to have the custom ers pass up their home stores in favor of Norfolk and Portsmouth, but rather to have them use the Norfolk-Portsmouth area as their major out-of-town shoping center rather than Richmond or Raleigh. To prove this their siogan is, "If you can't find it at" home you can find it in Norfolk and Portsmouth." The $5 bills which are to be giv en away here are specially printed coupons which will be honored at fr.ee value in any retail stor? in Norfolk or Portsmouth. The holder can use them to buy anything he wants with the exception of liquors. There are no strings attached and he need make no other purchases or add any money of his own to it.
