CONVENTION QUOTES
Those quotes are kind ot inter
es'ing:
"We cannot allord to <lela>
taking el lot live a.'tKin when ji
is needed in the tobacco program.
If wo try to pul -II suen action,
••von though it may at the time
sii'm painful, we will invito the
destruction of the entire tobacco
program, and Iihink that would
he disastrous lor the farm eco
nomy in North Carolina."
Sen. B. Everett Jordan.
“1 happen to have the old
fashioned theory that the best
public relations program for ag
riculture is to have the kinds of
progiams tii.it tan tie justified
anti defended nefore any group."
- John C Lynn, legislative dim
tor, American Farm Bureau Fed
•-ration.
“Merely coming to the state
meeting anti deciding in wiiat we
lM*lieve is not enough. We must
maintain our initiative during
the ensuing year. We do not ac
complish much if we later drop
our guard and fail t remind our
legislators that formers expert
representation too.” B C. Man
gum, president, N. C. Farm Bu
reau Federation.
These statements were record
cd the last time the North Cam
linu Farm Bart au went to Ashe
ville for its annual meeting. That
was in l!h'.g Farm Bureau will
he hack in Asheville in mid No- i
vemlier for another annual meet
mg. 'Hu- statements w .uldn't
seem old if they were made there
again.
A curious thread of continuity |
ties the three utterances togeth
er. Sen. Jordan warns that the
tobacco house must somehow in
set in order. Jack i.ynn says that
the farmer's image (and hence
his pockctbo iki can he damaged
by unsound programs And B. ('.
Mongum declares that the starch
in Farm Bureau comes more
from the deed than from th<
word.
If these three gems ot wisdom
are heeded, this lilt;I convention I
might be fondly ivmembcied for ]
a long time to tome.

Questionnaire
Questionnaires for the I IMi-4
Census of Agriculture .ire now
being mailed out to farmers of
Cleveland County. County K\
tension Chairman II II. Clapp re 1
ported tiMlay.
The forms are extiecfed to:
reach the farmers within a few
days. This will allow farmers a I
period of time to consult their
I9t>1 business records in order to
answer questions on the forms
before census enumerators he,'in
calling on the farmers to collect
the forms. Best estimates for the
year will be sufficient to answer
questions in cases where com
plete records for the year are not
available, according to the conn
tv extension chairman.
The visits by enumerators will
start on November 23 in this
county. Enumerators will tall on
every farmer in the district un
der his or her supervision, Mr
Clapp explained. At the time of
the call, the enumerator will
help the farmer complete answ
ers to any questions in the form
that the farmer was unable to
answer, and will review the form .
to see that it is completely filled
out
By mailing the forms ahead of
the visits, officials of the Bureau
of the Census, an agency of the
II. S Department of Commerce,
hope to save both time and ef
fort.

change my insurance to meet
this situation?
A Yes. You may borrow a
gainst your insurance, or you
may cash in part of it. retaining
the amount of protection you
