CLINTON - JOANNA
Again it haa been my privilege to sit in and watch my friend
Richter of Mt. 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

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.”

'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’’
