Should ; fair crop of reserves pop up out o the ranks of kids in .the polio-ban . ages, 15 and younger, it Will be t potent team. The squad i,s not too heavy, bu has weight enough in our opinion The boys who have been nursint the bruises of thd twice-a-day drill: have a lot of speed and a lot t< learn. Most of the veterans are back: v . with a goqd bit of experience bu majority of the starting forwarc wall has had only limited experi ence. Coaches Carlton anu Parker have ' been working the squad hard anc fast, clue to the late send-off due tc the polio ban. The boys have had plenty of expert advice tossed theii way, along with a goodly set ol plays, both offensive and defensive v and their record this year will more than likely depend on the individual physical condition and alertness of each player. The Mountaineers have a rough schedule. After the opener, Hendersonville, here, the squad takes on Bessemer City, North Carolina School for the Deaf (Morganton), . Morganton, Rutherfordton, Cherryville, Mt. Holly, Charlotte Tech high Shelby, and Lincointon, all on successive Fridays with the remaining "home games ail during tlie month"of October. flood luck, to' the 1948 Mountaineers! ?dad? t Kings Mountain baseball fans were fairly well represented Sntur day night at the Lincoinf'oh 'Cardinal Morganton'Aggies playoff battin in 1 ?' . . ?iv- hi uiiicviiiiun. inc ^.aras.oifistGd out a 9 to 3 decision and went o n to eliminate tt.c Aggies in a.

Farm Land Prices Abnormally High Farm land values in 35 states, including North Carolina, now equal or exceed the boom level of 1920, according to MoyJe S. Williams, Extension farm management specialist at State College.. Mr. Williams pointed put that the only large area where land values are still below their 1920 peak is the corn belt and the Northern Plhin states. This Ls one of the . areas where lami prices boomed the highest after World War I and where values dropped the most during the 1930's. The present inflation seems to have reached its' highest level in the southeastern states, especially in North Carolina, Kentucky, Ten nessee and Alabama, he said. The average-value per acre of farm real estate in North Carolina during July, 1948, was 157 per cent higher than the 1935-39 average. Only six states have had a larger inc:ease, the specialist said, v The rise and cbntinued strength in farm real estate prices and in demand for farm land has resulted largely from the strong demand for agricultural commodities and increases in farm incomes. The full price and income situation for crop year 1948 is not yet definite. Howelver, record wheat and corn crops lr prospect for the nation as a WholeDOint to somewhat Inwpp rwi ces. If this prospect develops, land values may not rise as much as the present high rate of land returns would indicate. The relatively rapid increase in many farm cost items during recent months may be another curb influencing land values.
