'T i Land Resources ffol' Being Used "Evidence of improper us? of land imsources in North Carolina last year >iias in the fact that about 12 per1 cwn\ of the cropland in tile state was | iaSe and even a larger per cent not \ ttoliy used, C. Briee Ratchford, in j ceKarge of Farm Management for the I State College Extension Service, said hrct this week. Catid devoted to cash crops such as ewtton, tobacco, peanuts, and commercial truck has been well utilized ox*! have normally rendered a good . return, Mr. Ratchford said, but the j Und devoted to the non cash crops i aoeh as corn, hay, and pasture has ant been utilized to the maximum. Yarmers have normally carried out recommended practices on the cash limps but they have not.Carried out tbe recommended practices on the aoa-cash crops. Adaption of these practices on all <$ops grown on the farm would pay high returns, he dearia red.

Labor, North Carolina's greatest re source, has not been fully used, he stated. Most farmers have felt there was a labor shortage'and this has been true, yet, on these same farms there has been idle labor. Most crops require labor from 6 tq 7 montns a year, but during certain seasons, especially the harvest and i planting seasons, there is a labor shortage. During the winter months no labor is required and this results in idle labor. Enterprises can be added which will profitably use the labor resources throughout the year, and keeping this labor busy the year-round will yield higher pro fits, the specialist said. Systematic farm planning will indicate ways to use all the land and labor, and those who take time out J during the bad weather this winter to plan their farm operations for 1948, will be spending their time well, Mr. Ratchford said. ?THE HERALD?S2.00 PER YEAR?

More than 75 percent of farm dwellings in North Carolina and the South are in excellent condition or. need only such minor repairs as painting or general maintenance.' the report revealed. Only 6X.1 per cent were in good repair in 1940. The report was based on Bureau of the Census surveys. "The rise in farm incomes and property values since 1940 has been accompanied by a great increase in the number of rural homes equipped with such modern conveniences as electric lights, tiled baths and showers and running water," said F. B. Ortman, chairman of the Council's residential construction committee. Electricity, for instance, has gone into hundreds of thousands of the nation's rural dwellings since 1940 Ortman noted. More than 39 percent of all farm homes now have electric lights, in contrast to 31.3 percent in 1940. More than, 32 percent of .rural dwellings in the United States today haye running w^ter, and 20.1 percent have private baths, according to the Tile Council report. In 1940, 17.7 per cent had running water and only 10.6 percent private baths. EXPRESSION OF THANKS We wish to express our sincere gratitude to our neighbors and friends who have been so kind to us and to our daughter, Nancy, since the accident in which Nancy was se- i verely injured. All of us are deeply appreciative of the many kindnesses shown and will never forget all ; the frifendly gestures. Mr. and Mrs. James SmithThe sharp decline in the number of cattle on farms this yeaor and re- ! ducetl grain feeding probably will result- in a smaller cattle slaughter in 1948 than in 1947. i i . , . i.I. * T1 CHE1 Now AT VI T( Newer......
