Elementary Textbooks Are Not to Be Changed
Special to Tipecral reports Raleigh authorities say public school textbooks in arithmetic drawing and writing will not be changed this year. Bids on the three subjects were rejected, some lower than current prices. An estimated $60,000 extra cost the first year influenced the decision, though lower prices would recur over four years. Objections cite continued use of aging geography and history texts, making many books obsolete after about 12 years.

Farm outlook gloom develops for southern agriculture
College economists warn of weak domestic demand for southern agricultural products, tighter credit, and low cotton and tobacco prices next year. A preliminary report from the Department of Agricultural Economics notes cotton prices fall to their lowest since 1915, with little relief ahead due to carryover and reduced buying power. North Carolina may boost tobacco acreage while flue cured leaf output declines. peanuts may substitute for cotton though tariffs slow imports. Irish potato acreage likely expands 10 percent with lower prices. peaches, strawberries, and feed crops look favorable. hogs, dairying, and some poultry offer growth potential.
