Janet, incidentally, who hals from LeRoy, Illinois,' will not have to face the sorrow of part- .ing. She will accompany the steer to Berlin, thanks (perhaps) to the power of her genuine but well-publicised ears.

After considerable commotion from the other end, a troubled voice said, “I’m sorry operator, but I’ve folded this dollar bill as small as I can and tt still won’t fit into that little slot." —* * * WE’VE BEEN TRYING TO THINK OF A NEW AND DIFFERENT WAY TO WISH YOU A HAPPY NEW YEAR. And we’ve just about decided there isn’t one. But the old words have been good a kmc time, aod we think they still say it best . . . A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY FROM YOUR FRIENDS AT SOUTHERN BELL. dd. Last year, for instance, 748,- 000 acre* were harvested, about 96,000 more than the previous year. We do not know how long this acreage increase can continue. We must eventually run out of suitable cropland. But what is noteworthy is that soybeans have reached the status of a ma jor crop from the standpoint of value. During the most recent pro duction year, the South Carolina soybean crop was valued at $49,- 759,000. But as per acre value goes, soybeans do not measure up to the higher per acre value of cot ton. Our 598,000 acres of cotton, considerably less than the soy bean acreages, bad a total farm valuue of $92,4442,000 in 1964. Other crops making gains in 1964 were corn, feed grains, hay, peanuts, vegetable crops, and grapes. The biggest income setback to farmers came with the near complete loss of the peach crop. The value of the peach crop was down $14 million from 1969. Tobacco farmers’ income was down about $5% million from the previous year. Despite these losses which peach and tobacco farmers in curred, the state’s total crop val ue from field crops, fruits, nuts, and vegetables was 2 per cent above 1963, having been estimat ed at $311,549,000. This you will note, does not include the value of livestock and poultry.
