m !arn marina shipping facilities on the At
lantic eeaboard, for at Wilmington and Mot?i
head City, two deep water sea ports hava
been' developed by a $7,500,000 state' pro
gram. The savings in overland freight rates
and the opening of these two doors to world
trade will contribute greatly in making North
Carolina a better place in which to work,
play and llvev
Another contributing factor to more pleasant
living for North Carolinian* Is the brtwlug

North Carolina mills employed
18.5 percent of all textile workers
in the United States in 1951.
Pennsylvania makes a poor se
cond with 11.6 percent of the na
tion's total. Moreover, textiles
are manufactured in 72 of the
State's 100 cpunties. In four coun
ties more than 10,000 workers are
employed; 12 others have more
than 5,000 employees; nine more
counties have more than 2,500
employees, and 19 other counties

Farmers Income Rises Bat Costs
Rise Faster Say Farm Directors
North Carolina's farm income
tvlll probably hit the billion-dollar
mark for the first year In history
in 1952, but the cost of things that
farmers must buy has risen at an
even faster rate.
In 1953, forecasts D, D. Brown,
N. C. State College farm manage
ment extension specialist, Tar
Heel farmers will have to take
the sweet of another good year
along with bitter of a 5 to 8 per
cent drop in net Income because
of the price-cost squeeze.
Costs in 1953 will level off for
the farm- wife, according to Ma
mie Whisnant, State College ex
tension home management spe
cialist. Food prices will be about
the same as now, perhaps less,
while prices for textiles, house
hold equipment, supplies and fur
niture may be slightly higher.
Brown and Miss Whisnant re
cently returned from the annual
national outlook conference in
Washington. Meetings are now
being held in 90 of North Caro
lina's 100 counties for discussion
of the 1953 farm outlook.
Brown points out that the far
mer will have to produce more
efficiently In 1953 to keep the nar
rowing price-cost gap from closer
further and shrinking his net in
come. ..
Generally, the price outlook Is
better for livestock than for crops
In 1953. Only fattened beef cattle
are exp?^ted to bring lower prices
In tl a estock products division,
and ti.o drop will probably be mo
derate.
Prices will be about the same
or at support levels for tobacco,
cotton, peanuts, feed grains, soy
beans and fruits and vegetables.
Wheat may fall below the support
level.
The outlook for tobacco calls
for a reduction in acreage; in
creased supplies, steady demand
and prices similar to this year's
are likely. ?,
Art increased domestic demand
for cotton will probably be bal
anced by a slight flecrease ln ex
port demand, and prices should
remain the same as in 1952.
A dark spot on outlook picture
"is peanuts, which are likely to |
reel .v. drop in domestic and. ex
port demand and a subsequent
drop to price-support levels.
The demand for milk and milk
products Is Increasing while sup
piles are dropping. In view of
this an Increase In price of 5 to
10 per cent is in prospect for the
Tar Heel dairyman.
The pig farmer will also be in
better shape in 1853; price for de
clining supplies of pork is likely
to rise as high as 10 per cent a
bove 1952.
Egg prices should be moderate
ly higher next year than this;
broiler prices will be moderately
higher during the first half of
1953 and steady during theJast
half.
With fewer workers remaining
on the farm, wages will be mo
derately higher in 1953, as will
machinery prices; fertilizers and
chemicals are likely to remain
the same,
