Here's the picture in a nut
shell:
Total cash receipts from
livestock. poultry and products
are likely to increase soy
beans are expected to continue
their upward climb , cotton
production will be as large as
or greater than this year, even
though the cotton acreage will
be slightly lower and de-
mand for most of our crops
will still be good.
There is one question-mark
crop - tobacc. At present. to-
bacco is South Carolina's num-
Der one cash crop. and the an
nounced ten percent cut in the
acreage allotment for this crop
could result in a lower total
gross income. That is. if prices
and production on other farm
commodities aren't kept up,
and if other sources of cash
income aren't found.
Farmers needn't lok for any
let-up on the cost-price squeeze
next year. Farm production cx-
penses are expected to climb
another two percent: How
ever, net returns per farm will
probably improve slightly.
mainly because the income
pie" will be divided among
fewer farms.
General economic activity -
both for the state and the nat
ion - is expected to remain
strong. AccOring to the USDA's
Economic Research vice.
THE economy is buoyant and
the outlook is favorable for
1864"
A lot depends. however. on
the sizes and timing of the pro-
posed tax cut. A good-size re-
duction in tax rates might add
as much as six billion dollars
to the flow of money in the
country. and a lot of this would
pass through the farm segment.
: If you're planning to buy
any farm Ian din 1864, you'd
better plan to pay a little more
for it - it's still going up.
During 1868, farm land values
in South Carolina continued
their upward climb, and on
July | 1868. stood at five per-
cent above one year ago.
Therc'll still be a strong de-
mand for more land from those
farmers who want to enlarge
their farms, as well as from
buyers for industrial sitss,
highways, airports, shopping
centsrs, residences, and other
nox- farm uses. =
Cotton is a mighty import
ant crop to South Carolina
farmers. and here's the outlook
on this crop for "a: Cotton
production in South Carolina
during 1868 was excellent -
about 455.OGO bales more than
1862, and some 81 percent
above the five-year average.
The same high production fig
ures were true for the rest of
the nation, too.
Total disappearance of cot
ton in the United States dur
ing the 1963-64 marketing
var is estimated at 1873 million

tein feeds will be about the
same as 1962-63.
Censor economists advise.
''As a ways, it will pay oar
farmers to follow the recon-
mended practices in 1864, and
produce the kinds and quality
of products in demand. They
should follow good business
and financial practices. and
make the most efficient use of
all their resources"

in 1864.
Pecan prices will probably
net be favorable. because of
this years large crop. Demand
for fresh vegetables is expect
ed to be strong in "a. and
peaches will have a good year
on the market. A strong de-
mand for pulpwood is expected
next year, but with little
change in price levels. Prices

use the information, and under
what circumstances 1t can be
used in dealing with juvenile
cases.
The registry idea originated
with the Districts Washington
Action for Youth Program.
Inspector Alexander s. Doug
lass, head of the Washington
police training division, said
that In its rough conception the
cadet program would place
qualified applicants from Dis
trict schools in clerical jobs in
the department before they
reach the eligibility age of 81.
He said this would give po-
lice a group Of civilians will
ing to be trained for police
work, and also relieve police
men from clerical duties"
This, he said, would help re-
turn regular policemen to law

william c. Burrage. planning
director of Fairfax County since
1859, announced his resigna-
ton today in q move that may
bring into the open long-stand-
ing conflicts among his sub
ordinates.
Mr.. Burrage revealed his
plans to the Board of County
Supervisors.
Mr.. Burrage, 40, said he will
join the firm Of Developer Carl
M. Freeman, Inc, of Silver
Spring.
His resignation is effective
July 81. It was accepted with
regret by the supervisors.
It may be some time before
his post is filled, because Of
continued and growing uncer-
tainty in the county govern
ment Of how strongly the staff
should try to direct future de-
velopment Of the county.
Some members Of the Board
of Supervisors and the Plan
ming Commission feel that the
staff has lacked forceful direc-
ton from Mr.. Burrage.
He has differed often on
policy with his two principal
assistants, Deputy Planning
Director Herbert F. Schumann
and Master Palmer Rosser H.
Payne.
Mr.. Schumann directed the
department before Mr.. Burrage
came to the county, but he is
not considered a likely per-
manent replacement for him,
Mr.. Payne repeatedly would
accept the post If it were offered
to him, provided he be given
authority to reorganize the de-
partment and WELD a firm
hand in directing it.

Fairfax Fails
To Agree on
School Plan
BY WALTER WURFEL
Star staff Writer

The Fairfax County School
Board deferred last night a de-
cision on how to go about
eliminating seven all Negro
schools after board members
clashed over the naming of a
study committee.
Chairman Eugene L. New
man offered a motion to have
up to 10 citizens study the eff
feet of full indignation of the
county's schools. No action was
taken on the motion, and the
board voted instead to discuss
the merger at an executive ses-
sion this month, before decid-
ing at its July meeting what
to do.
Mrs. Martha Gertwagen told
her fellow board members that
a committee could add nothing
to what the board already
knows.
"To ask a group of non
experts to do something Of this
nature would not help the
problem" she stated.
Mrs. Gertwagen asked for a
staff report on the problems OF
q fully integrated school system
Mr.. Newman said he had
already asked school admins
traitors to determine the impact
that the merger would have on
school finances, teachers and
pupil assignment districts.
at will take a lot Of work
and discussion" for the board
to agree on a policy, COM
mented Kenneth N. Clark.
Mr.. Newman's proposal
would have charged the COM
mittee Ito advise the board on
the question Of whether it is
desirable to discontinue the
operation of any schools which
by design are predominantly
stated and attended by per-
sons Of one race"
The boards placement policy
for Negro students is now being
challenged in court. although
a number Of Negro students
now attend formerly all-white
schools.

Blue Is The

NEW YORK-The problem of
what skin tone TO use in TV com
mercials which are Just beginning
to sell soap in undeveIoped
countries has been resolved by
selecting the color blue, The In
sider's Newsletter said recently.
u. S. firms, The Newsletter
says, have found it too expensive
TO tailor each commercial for each
country to avoid offending White,
black or yellow-skinned custom
crs.
So, after considerable research,
the J. Walter Thompson Advertis-
ing Agency has decided not to
use people. but animated car
toons in which the people" are
deep blue, or somehow char
acterized that way in the dialogue
Tor audiences with black and
wnlte receivers.
There's something wrong with
every other color, q Thompson
spokesman explained. Red skin
suggests the American Indian, or
maybe something political. Vel
low says Chinese, and you just
can't do black. Greens means
sick.
blue is absolutely the only
color that means nothing at all. ;"

N EW YORK - Secretary of

the government to take the lead
with the support of u. S. colleges
and business and civic interests
to launch an immediate program
TO assure the uninterrupted educa-
ton in the U. S. of African stu
dents who have found education
in Communist Bulgaria intoler-
able. Are these African students
to be neglected by our country
which, through its colleges and
universities, has provided the ed
ucation and stimulus for many
prime e movers in the African
struggle for freedom? Certainly
there is much goodwill in Africa
for the u. S. that can be greatly
enhanced by prompt action by
our government. A bold and ina
ginative educational project for
