In addition to the 75-ccnl levy

money is used to amortizc part of
the Indebtedness for the two high

A new item appearing in the
budget this year is for capital out

attending school in Allegany coun-
ty. These tuition charges were
more than doubled over those Of
last year by a State department

In addition the School Board has

necessity; and $500 for replace

The School Board also asked the
Commissioners to guarantee from
the cigaret tax at least $3.50 above
the minimum salary for all teach
ers. Mr.. Hawkins said this would
involve only a small sum and was
considered of vital Importance by
the school board. The board felt it
necessary to pay all teachers a
fixed salary, eliminating uncertain
ty of bonus payments as means
Of providing extra pay.
Tax Rate For Schools Favorable
Considering all requests for the

retired December 80 after almost
43 years on the Southern Railroad
He plans now to spend some time
farming on his place off Duncan

He was met at the station here
as he finished his last run by a
number of his family, railroad Of
ficials and friends. He came in on

end to the career he has spent in
the Greenville division which runs
from here to Salisbury.
During his long term of service,
he has been either fireman or en-
gineer on every run in the Green
vile division.
Officials of the road say Mr.. Nc
Corkle finished with a spotless rec
ord. Not only has he never had a
serious accident or a rule violation
chalked against him, there never
has been a letter from an irate
customer about him stopping or
starting train too abruptly.
Mr.. McCorkle refused to take
any credit Cor his good record
himself. He said strict adherence
to the teachings of the Bible, first

OF Mrs. McCorkle. he said: "She
always sent me off with a good
lunch and a smile and welcomed
me back the same way"

are likely to prevail in future
years has a distinct bearing on
farm land prices. This has been
especially true in the bright to-
bacco areas. Obviously the loca-
ton of a particular farm has an
important bearing on its market
Irice-the relative desirability of
the community will add to or de-
tract from its value. Quality OF
roads and location with respect
to neighborS and community SER
vices are factors at point. In the
event a neighboring farmer wish
es to enlarge his farm (baSed on
the anticipated greater efficiency
of the larger unit he is willing
to pay a premium for the land
There are, of course, times when
defensive buying" occurs. to avoid
the risk of the land being acquir-
ed by a person who would put it
to an undesirable use and thus
prove to be an unwelcome neigh
Dor.
Historically there is lag in the
speed with which income changes
are reflected in the level of farm
real estate prices.
It is evident that many factors
in addition to anticipated in
come-enter into the price peo-
pie are willing to pay for farm
land. In most cases, these other
factors" tend to raise the price
rather than lower it. AS a result
most of the research on the SUBJ
iect reveals that, in terms OF thell
productive capacity, poor farms
are overpriced relative to good
farms.
Most of the factors mentioned
as affecting farm land prices have
been discussed from the stand
point of their effect on demand
even though it is true that they
also have an effect on the number
of properties offered for sale and
the price tags they bear.
Peak Prices In 1858
The tendency of farm lano
prices to tag along belatedly az
ter changes in commodity prices
and farm incomes is in evidence
at the present time. Farm pro
duct prices hit their post-Ko-
rean peak in February 1851, To
tai cash farm income was also
at a peak in 1851. and both have
been declining since that time
Prices of farm land, on the othel
hand, continued to rise until late
1852 for the country as a whole
and declined 7 percent by Spring
of 1854. In the Fifth District
the peak in land values came
in March 1858; in the falloWing
year they fell 5 percent.
According to the agricultural
Department of Agriculture. the
highest average land values in
this five-state area are in Mary
land. where the average value
of farm land and building is $l55
per acre. This is followed by
SUdl6MIuc dNCl dSCo VI V1-S AA'
North Carolina, S102 in Virginia
$50 in South Carolina, and $66
N West Virginia. These average
yalues are below the post-Korean
high in every district state as
we'll as in all other states in the
nation.
What the index of land values
will do in the months to come
is an unanswered question. There
is. however. little evidence that
yhe decline has run its course
Both farm product prices and
farm income are running Slightly
below a year ago and net incomes
for the year as whole will almost
certainly be below last years level.
Barring the unforSeeable-Which
has a way of happening from
time to time-further declines in
land prices appear to be di-
stinct possibility.
