Farm Mortgage Debts
. In State Show Gain
| North Carolina's farm mortgage |
debts increased 13.6 per cent during
i 1946. according toC. Brice Ratchford, i
in charge of Farm Management for !
| the State College Extension Service.
This was by far the largest increase
of all southern states, except
j Florida, where mortgage debt increased
33 per cent, Mr. Ratchford
said. For the United States as a
whole, farm mortgage debt increased
3 per cent during 1946, which is
tile first increase since 1927.
Farmers assets increased over 12
million dollars from January 1, 1946
to January 1, 1947, he said.
i Physical assets which include real
estate, livestock, machinery, crops I
stored on farms, and household equipment
were valued at 89,132 million
dollars on January 1, 1947,
which is 10,639 million dollars higher
than on January 1, 1946. Real estate
was by far the largest item and
much of the increase in physical assets
was due to increase in real estate
values.
Financial assets which include deposits
and currency U. S. Savings
Bonds, and investments in cooperatives
were valued at 22,077 million
dollars on January 1, 1947, which is
1,962 million higher than a year pre
vious.
Liabilities which include mortgages
and other debts increased 565
million dollars during 1946. Total
liabilities were valued at 8,414 million
dollars on JanuaTy 1, 19^7, Mr. ,
Ratchford said.' V',

New Apple Varieties
Show Promise In State
Showing promise from a commercial
standpoint to Tar Heel apple
growers are two varieties of apples
not commonly grown in North Carolina,
says H. R. Niswonger, in charge
of Horticulture for the State College
Extension Service.
These varieties, Turley and Weal
thy, are now fruiting among other
new varieties on trial tests in the
Brushy Mountains area, Mr. Niswonger
said.
The Turley resembles the Stayman
variety in type and flavor and does
not crack at the stem end. The apple
is solid red in color and medium
to large in size. The tree if vigorous
bears at an early age, and matures
along with the Stayman variety.
The Wealthy, although not exactly
a pew variety, but new to many
commercial growers as it is rarely'
found in our present commercial orchards,
is a very red apple, moderate
in size and of fine quality. The tree
does not grow to a large size and
can be used as a filler in plantings
where a pollenlzer for other varieties
is needed. It bears early and is ready
for the market in late summer before
the Delicious variety, Mr. Niswonger
said.
During the molting period of laying
hens, it is essential that the diet
of the molter contain all the food
factors necessary to build feathers
and also build back body reserve
as these have been used up by the
last year of lay.
