Gilead, N. C., operate his side-line business which commenced as a hobby and has now assumed large propor tions. For many years he has been a successful operator in the Caro- linas of mills which make knit goods. But his first love is the peach. For 29 years, during the Carolina peach season, he has left his mills in the hands of assailants, and has engaged in the distribution of Carolina peaches to Northern city markets. In recent years at the opening of the peach sea son, he has come to Charlotte, taken a suite at the Barringer Hotel, moved in desks and a battery of telephones and has gone to work with members ot his family in getting these peaches to satisfactory markets. He now has orchards of his own, but ae also markets the cfops of his friends from their or chards. He has many friends in Northern cities who dis- tribute these peaches; and depend upon him to send |1 T them the right kind of peaches for their market. He knows the qual ity of the product produced by the various orchards of his friends boxes. "Die Census of Agriculture is taken at five-year intervals to provide up to date statistical in formation about more than five million farms Which supply food and raw materials for manufac- The Census of Agrigculture data provide the foundation for the entire structure of the na tion’s agricultural program, ture of goods used by the people of the United States, now num bering about 162.5 million. in the Carolinas and he also knows the needs of his friends in the Northern distribution area. He says that his greatest happiness comes out of making both the grower and the distributor happy. He literally sleeps on the job, as bus bedroom adjoins the rooms he uses for offices. At the height of the season he will often be limited to four hours of sleep a night. Yet he thrives on it because he is happy in it. The growers give him a free hand m marketing their fruit, and the distributors do likewse in selecting and shipping to them the fruit of their needs. This whole family is a close-knit team in this enterprise. His wife remains at home enjoying her grandchildren, contented to let him and the children give the peach season to the enterprise which takes them away from their families. His two sons and daughter work closely with him. I sat in the midst of this and watched it all operate. There were more than a half dozen telephones. Frequently they would ring at the same time, and there would be several long distance telephone conversations in process to various parts of the country and Canada. Yet no one became irrated or confused. At one time, I saw Mr> Richter with a telephone receiver at each ear, carrying on two con versations at the same time. It was one of the finest lessons in extended cooperation I have ever seen. There was cooperation between the family and assist ants, the growers, the truckers, the distributors. This has been built up over the years and it couldn’t have reached such proportions and continued so long if there had not been the spirit of trust and coope ration between them all. I came away with the conviction that you can’t beat the proven pattern, “You help me, 1 help you, and we are all helped.” REVIVAL SERVICES * ■—WILL BEGIN AT— Friendship Baptist Church Monday, August 23rd —AND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH— Saturday, August 28th Rev.

'54 Finn Census To Begin In State November 3 Washington — This November, for the 18th time since 1840, fanners of the South will be in terviewed by enumerators of the Bureau of the Census. The farm- era will be asked to give infor mation about their farms, crops, livestock and other items to be covered in the 1954 Census of Agriculture. The Census Bureau is estab lishing 118 temporary field of fices for the 1954 farm census. Each office will be staffed by a supervisor, assistant supervisor, and a few clerks. The work of about 51,000 enumerators under the leadership of about 2,200 crew leaders will be supervised out of the 118 temporary field offices. In addition, the Census Bureau maintains 34 permanent district offices which will give part of their time from their other regular dutee to the work of processing the census retursn which will be shipped to them from the temporary field offices. The census questionnaire is de signed to collect information about the number and size of farms, tenure, acreage of land in various uses, crops harvested, livestock inventory and produc tion, expenditures for selected it ems (labor hire, machine hire, feed, fertilizer and lime, gasoline, and other petroleum fuels and oil), inventory of selected facili ties and equipment (television, food freezer, piped running wa ter, tractor, harvesting machines, automobile, truck, etc.), irriga tion conservation practices, farm value, mortgage debt, and cash rent. Regional variations of the questionnaire will be used so inquiries about crops, for in stance, will be limited in each area to the crops common in that area. On an average, each farm er will be asked about 100 ques tions, many of which can be ans wered by checking “yes” or “no’’ WED.-THURS.
