A more detailed analysis of mi
grafton. rural-farm, and rural
non-farn areas of 1.-THE State is in
progress. Preliminary estimates in
dicate that something like 100000
people net left the farms of North
Carolina during the decade 1940-
1850.
CAUSES OF MIGRATION
The major factors responsible
for the great net migration from
North Carolina and between the
counties of the State are:
Cd Population pressure, par
ticularly in the rural areas where
surplus of children is produced.
90 Population vacuumS of defi-
citS in the urban areas because of
the relatively low birth rates
therein.
90 Continued growth of urban
industry, business, and service, en-
HANGED by wartime production de-
mands and postwar prosperity and
rising levels of living.
(4) Location of military INSTALL
ations and war industries in Ger
tain areas. BY and large. North
Carolina did not get her share of
large war industry, but did get and
keep a few large military installa-
tions.
(5) Mechanization of agricul-
ture and changes in the types and
amounts of agricultural produc-
ton.
Co The continued drift of Ne
grOeS from rural areas of tn e
South, q movement which h a s
been going on for the last so years
and which has been accelerated
by the war and its aftermath.
1t hardly needs to be said that
the net migration of more than a
quarter of a million people from
North Carolina is a tremendously
significant fact from both a hu-
man and an economic point of
view We shall only outline here
the major significant aspects:
% The contribution of 900
persons to other states and coun-
tries (mainly to other states) rep
resents a transfer of real economic
wealth directly and indirectly.
Many of the migrants from the
State take money and other per-
sonal property with them and
hold title to or will inherit real
estate and other property which
cannot be moved physically. A
heavy net outmigration may add
to the volume of absentee owner
ship of our States wealth, al
though many of the outmigrants
eventually may return to the
State.
Cd An indirect economic loss to
the state is represented by the cost
of rearing and educating h e
thousands of outmierants who will
provide population deficit areas

Report From Sen.
Seott's Office
By BILL WHITLEY

WASHINGTON - DEFENSE.
North Carolina is becoming more
and more important in the pro-
duction of the Nations strategic
defense minerals.
For several years, the state has
been a leading producer of tung-
stem.
Although it has also been the
Nations top producer of mica,
new efforts are being made to
open up new mica mines and
sreatly expand existing ones.
Mica, scarce item in this coun-
try. is used extensively as in
sulation in electrical and electro
mic devices.
EXPLORING. Through the De-
fense Materials Exploration Ad-
ministration mica exploration
projects in North Carolina cost
ing almost 100000 were started
in the last three months of 1854.
Under the special exploration
administration, the federal gov
ernment makes grants to pro-
Spective miners and existing
firms to search for new deposits
of strategic materials.
Of a total of "a projects start
ed in the last quarter of 1854
throughout the entire United
States covering all types of de-
fense minerals, IL mica projects
We're launched in North Carolina
alone. Consequently. the Depart
ment of Interior, which administ-
ers the mineral exploration pro-
gram, is especially interested in
developing the states mica re-
sources.
Only seven of the last "a pro-
jects, Interestingly enough, were
guided toward new searches for
uranium, the essential material
in the production of atomic wea-
pons. All of the uranium projects
are in the Far West.
HARDSHIP. A mother wrote
a senator a letter, asking that her
dear son be given hardship
discharge. He Just wasn't suited
to Army service, she said. He
didn't like it, was miserable and
was needed back home. The sena-
tor referred the request to the
Army.
The Army wrote back, pronto,
to say it would be pleasure to
look into the case-but there was
Just one hitch. The CT had just
started a six-months term in the
brig, and he'd have to serve his
time before worrying about hard
ships.
BLOSSOMS. There's good
chance the cherry blossoms will
be out bit early in Washington
this year. Unusually warm wea-
ther during the past two weeks
stands a good chance of bringing
out the blossoms well before
Easter. which falls on April 10
this year.
BANQUET. The 18th Annual
Congressional Banquet of the
North Carolina Democratic Club
of Washington will be held at
the Mayflower Hotel in Washing
ton Saturday, March 19. Chris

Harold Cooley's office is handling
the arrangements. The banquet is
an annual affair of the Club,
staged in honor of the Tar Heel

Authorities Cite
inadequate Lime

Soils authorities are becoming
more concerned with the failure
of farmers to lime their soils ade-
quately. Experiments show that
every dollar spent for lime returns
a profit of three to seven dollars
to the farmer. A profit of 300 to
700 percent is not only good but
almost unbelievable and any good
businessman, or woman, would
welcome the opportunity to get
such a return on his investment.
Why don't farmers reap a har-
vest from this sure fire PROPOSE
ton?
One reason is, that limestone re-
acts very slowly in the soil and for
legumes as we'll as other crops
must be applied six months to a
year before seeding. Then add an
other season for growing, harvest
ing and marketing the crop be-
fore there are any returns what
ever on this investment and the
returns are spread out over a per-
iod of several years.
On the other hand crop re-
sponse to most other chemicals or
plant foods is evident in a few
short weeks and returns obtained
the same season.
The fact that over SO pct. of the
farmers are tenants who do not
own land they operate and do not
know whether they will operate it
/ beyond the current season; farm
income has been dropping steadily
for over two years and in many
cases the farmers cash reserves
are gone, hence expenses are pared
to the bone, are other reasons for
inadequate lining.
While lining is profitable, only
20 million tons were applied in
1858 as compared to an annual
need of 80 million tons. VIII y
should the general public be con-
cerned? It's simply this. Lime
stone is calcium and magnesium
in carbonate form. While benefit
ing the farmer in higher yields, it
also produces more nutritious food
and fibre containing more calcium,
magnesium and other elements.

cade and is more than three times
the amount of net migration in
any previous decade. In the de-
cade l930-l940 the State lost only
10000 people by net migration.
In spite of the heavy migration
from the State during the 1940s,
the population of the State in

of the mean population of the de-

No important differences in net

Churchill Says US. Ahead of Russia in H-BOnlb Work

LONDON, lR-Prime Minister Churchill said Tuesday the United States is far ahead of Russia in hydrogen bomb development He said it will be three or four years possibly as little as two years before Russia is in a position to launch an H-bomb attack on North America.
 After that, Churchill told the House of Commons, Russian H. bomb power will be great enough to cripple the western world, all though still trailing behind that of the free nations.
 The Prime Minister said his in- formation is that the Russians have developed what he called a type of bomb of intermediate power He added:
 "This is no reason, however, why they should not develop, sometime within the next four or three or even two years, more advance weapons and the means to deliver them to North Ameri- can targets"
 Churchill opened a defense-plan- hing debate in the wage of his own governments decision, an nounced last month, that Britain will make H-bombs.

Hedges Defends Senate Bill on
 Jobless Security
By JIM HUTCHINSON

JUNEAU, R-Under intense House questioning, Arthur Hedg- es, assistant director of Alaska's Unemployment Security Depart ment, acknowledged Monday he wrote Senate Bill 56, which re- stricts benefit payments sharply.
 The House also has a bill of it's own on the subject, with points which differ widely from the Sen ate's views.
 The Senate started considering amendments on it's bill Monday But only minor ones came up, with no debate on the major is- sues involved
 Hedges was on the stand all afternoon in the House. He esti- mated that House Bill 50 would bring about 5000 more workers under unemployment benefits in Alaska annually than the Senate plan.
 It was after he testified that he thought personally the Senate bill was better measure that he ad- mitted he had drafted it. He draft ed it, he testified, after the Senate Finance Committee asked him at conference why he didn't pre- sent concrete, workable unem- ployment insurance plan.
 Hedges conceded one of the re- strictions in the Senate bill is, in effect, a seasonality clause under which a worker could not draw benefits in month of one year unless he was employed at some time during the same month in the previous year.
 The House bill proposes to put one percent tax on each work er's paycheck up to $4,8OO, which would be a maximum of $48 in a year, and raise the workers pay base on which the employer pays three percent tax from the pres ent $3,OOO to $4,8OO.
 Hedges declared that the Elm ployment Security Program was adopted nationally as strictly an insurance plan for workers who become unemployed because of \ the economic situation, not regu- larly during specific seasons.
 He said it was not intended as a public welfare measure, but he added that it virtually had be- come that.
