of nothing but conditioning exer-
cises the pigskins were finally
brought out on Thursday afternoon,
so that the would-be-gridders
could get the feel of things.
Still shorthanded in several spots
because of inability of some let
termen, of which the veteran
coach has only 10 returning, to
report at this time; the squad
was divided into two elevens. No
rough work has yet been done, so
the teams practised on several
of the ct" plays that 3rinkley
intends using during the current
season. Brinkley said that he in
tended to continue to hold drills
twice daily until just before the
opening of school, on Thursday,
September 4th. Heavy work is
expected to begin next week, with
the first game with Mullins, S. c.

FARM INCOME
UP 80 PER CENT
Substantial Increase, But
Room For Improvement
Says Expert

RALEIGH, Sept. o The index
of the family level of living for
farm operators in North Carolina
increased 80 per cent from 1910
to 1915, H. 3. James, professor of
agricultural economics at State
college, said today.
"This is a substantial increase
and one we should be proud Of"
James said, "but we still have
plenty of room for progress
In 1915, North Carolina's level
of living index fol farm operator
families was only aoou1 so per
cent as higa as the nati.'nal aver
age, and in only one county that
year was the national average ex-
ceeded, he SAID.
This was Davidson County with
an index of 100, compared with
the national county average Of
100. Two other North Carolina
counties, Fosyth and New Hano-
yer, attained an inde1; of 100,
thus, equaling the national aver
age.
This all brings to mind the fact
that better farming is for better
living and that we need TO take
advantage of the present high
level of farm income to make
some improvements in III living
conditions, Mr.. James said.

COTTON GRADING
IMPORTANT ITEM
CHASING Service Free To
Farmers; Will Aid
In Sales

RALEIGH, Sept. 2 Practically
every cotton grower in North Car
DINA will be eligible to have his
cotton classed when the ginning
season begins, Dan F. Holler, cot
tor marketing extension specials
at State college. said today.
The price of cotton is the high
est it has been in many years.
and it is extremely important for
farmers to know the grade and
staple before marketing this year.
he said.
The CHASING service is free and
all that is necessary to secure a
free class is to ask the giDner to
take a sample of each bale. The
samples taken by the ginner are
submitted to the cotton CHASING
office in Raleigh where the cotton
is classed by government class
ers, and a card is returned to the
producer showing the grade.
staple, and gin preparation.
This card is acceptable for a
Government loan or may be found
useful in marketing the crop.
Beginning today, cotton will be
classed on the new standards
which come much closer to fit
ting the type of cotton grown in
North Carolina than the standards
which have been used in p a t
years. Quite a bit of cotton class
ed as strict low middling last
year will fall in the middling
grade this year, Holler said.
Another feature of the cotton
class for 1947 will be the split
grades. There will be such grades
as strict low middling plus, and
middling plus. This too, should
prove helpful to the North Caro-
lima cotton grower, he said.
The Commodity Credit corpora
ton has announced the support
price for middling 1916 cotton.
This price in western North Caro-
lima is $28.55 per hundred, and in
eastern North Carolina is $28. 40.
Most of the cotton grown in North
Carolina has a staple length rang
ing from an inch to a inch and
ore-sixteenth.
The support price on middllng
one and one-sixteenth cotton will
be $29.25, he said. The support
price is considerably below mar
ket price at present, he added.
but many farmers will be inter-
ested to know. that the govern
ment stands ready to support cot
ton at the above figures.

FARMERS ADVISED
INVEST ON FARM
Surplus Money Should Be
Spent On Repairs, Says
College Specialist

RALEIGH, Sept. 2 Tobacco
marketing has begun and most
farmers should realize a profit
this year, says Moyle S. Williams,
extension farm management spe-
cialist at State college.
Farmers should look for a place
to invest this profit to realize re-
turns in the years to come, and
in most Isl the safest place and
the n that will pay the best
returns is right on their own
farms, Williams said.
This is particularly true since
in most cases buildings are in
poor shape due to lack of repairs
made during war years. Also, soil
fertility has been lowered on many
farms due to heavy cropping dur
ing the same period. he said.
OF great importance on tobac-
co farms is the condition Of tenant
homes, he declared. Wigh materi-
ais available, now is an excellent
time to get these buildings in good
shape.
It has been shown time and time
again that better homes mean bet
ter tenants, both as to quality Of
tenants attracted to the farm with
good buildings, and to quality of
work done by tenants who have a
good place to live.
Most tenants homes need i'm
provements. Screening, building
safe steps, painting, repairing roofs,
and floors, and replacing broken
window panes are a few of the
improvements that can and should
be made.
By putting his profits in better
homes for his tenants, the far
mer has an investment that pays
off. He has increased the value
of his holdings and can expect III
creased production through bet
ter quality of tenants and better
work by tenants.
Improvement of soil fertility
through soil improving crops, win
ter cover crops, and adding neces.
sary plant nutrients to soil almost
invariably pays off. In most cases
the proportionate increase in
yields not only provides good re-

FIRE CAUSES
HEAVY LOSSES
Survey Indicates Farmers
Lost Nearly 100000
Last Year

RALEIGH, Sept. 2-North Car.
DINA flue-cured tobacco growers
lost approximately two million
dollars last year from tobacco
barns being burned, according to
R. R. Bennett. extension tobacco
specialist at State college.
AS a result of this heavy loss
to the farmers, the extension
service made a study in an effort
to learn the cause of these fires.
The results Of the study revealed
LAP barns, 1878, 900 sticks of to-
bacco, and lap curing units de-
stroyed by fire in 1946.
There were about 1852, 300 wood
fired barns in use in the state
last year, and Of this number,
1925 Or "a barns out of each 1000
burned. Out of a total Of n, 300
oil-fired barns estimated in use in
the State, 534 were reported burn
ed or 10 out Of each 1000.
In interpreting this information,
it should be kept in mind that
there were a number of different
makes of oil burners that had a
lower fire loss rate than wood,
while there were other makes
that were responsible for a very
high loss among barns fired with
oil.
