Prentice, of Chicago, is the proprietor of this service, Mr. McClure said, Mr. Prertioe and his assistant, Philip HJgfcty, for merly with the dairy extension department at Cornell Univer sity, have been here nscenOy making arrangements ffr this opening of the new enterpri?4 Maury Gaston, former coupty Dairymen at many North Car olina counties have formed as sociations within their counties to work in conjuctidn with Southeastern. Technicians have been trained at State College to aid in the work. Iredell county already has 2,000 cows signed up in its association, Mr. McClure said, and Buncombe county has formed an association for this purpose. The following Buncombe county men are in charge of the local association: Dave Snelson, Leicester, chair man; C. J. Rich, Black Mountain; Alec Crowell, Enka; J. P. Mc Crary, Asheville, R. T. D. No. 4; Joe Baldwin, SkyUr.d; George Cecil, Biltmore. There are more than 800 cows signed up for this project in Buncombe county, it was pointed out Joe Wells of Leicester has been employed as technician by the Buncombe county cooperative breeding as sociation, and it was pointed out that any farmer desiring to have a cow bred must telephone the county agent, Riley Palmer, be fore 10 a. TO. Mr. Wells will ar range his schedule each morning at 10 o'clock and must receive notice prior to that hour in order to. carry out the insemination on any particular day. Membership fee in the county association is one dollar, K was stated, and the charge for service to any cow is $6.00. Mr. Palmer will be glad to give any information on this, Mr. McClure added. Heads of local associations al ready formed in other North Carolina counties are as follows: Ashe. Clifford Koontz, West Jef ferson; Watauga, L. E. Tuckwel ler, Boone; Alleghany, R K. Black, Sparta; Iredell, Roger Murdock, Statesville; Rocking ham, Ed Foil, Reidsvllle; Hay wood, Wayne Corpening, Waynes - viile; Union, J. A. Marsh, Mon h?e; Davidson, John F.

Patton, Rutherfordtan; Gas ton, Paul Kiser, Gaston ia; Meck lenburg, George Hobson, Char lotte; Macon, Dr. O. H. Burn side, , Franklin; Davie, F. K. Peebles, Mocks ville; Alamance, Melville Dairy, Burlington. The North Carolina extension service, the North Carolina De partment of agriculture, teachers of Vocational agriculture and the Farmers Federation are all co operating in this new enterprise. In speaking of the project, Mr. McClure said, "The Southeastern Artificial Breeding Association offers to the dairy farmers of North Carolina the service of bulls proven by the records of their daughter* to transmit high milk production. This means that dirt farmers and dairymen all over the state will have the op portunity of bringing into their herds high milk producing quali- C ties. The average milk produc tion per cow in Western North Carolina has been in the neigh borhood of 3,500 pounds' of oni^t per year. The use of these proven sires will greatly increase the milk production of their daugh ters. A recent experiment with a _ high-index bull in the herd of R. A. Crowell of Enka resulted in the 16 daughters of this animal giving an average milk product ion of 2,465 pounds of milk more than their dams. Wayne Corpen ing, county agent for Haywood county, has predicted that the use of the sires in this stud, if ac companied by better feeding methods, will double the average milk production within ten years. "This is the first time that a battery of bulls, all of which are proven sires, has been available in any port of the South. It marks j a great step forward in the op portunities of profitable dairying in North Carolina. These high index bulls that will transmit high milk production, mean that dairy farmers of North Carolina - will get thousands of pounds more milk each yoar from the same number of cows than they are now getting. The use at high index bulls is the shortest road to a higher standard of living for the dairy farmer. A great effort will be made by Southeastern Artificial Breeding Association to make this service available to all the dairymen and farmers in the state of North Carolina. The association will work through local ^county groups of farmers.] soring this program in the h?n". that <Uhy farmer* and owmrs ol cow* In every part d the state will immediately U|in to or ganize local breeding circle* in their counties. Any member of ?uch an organization win be ahla to get the uae of these outstand ing sires and in addition will not have to bother with a dangerous bull on his farm. He will be able to obtain the service of a type of bull that very few farmers can afford to buy and will at the same time get all this at less cost than that of keeping a bull him self. We consider this a great step forward in dairying in the South." The new barn of the South eastern Artificial Breeding As sociation is situated on Highway No. 74, just beyond the American .Legion golf course. Built in an HL" shape, the large structure is modern in every detail and has many fine stalls to houfe the bulls. The arena .where the operations take place is much like that of a modern hospital, and contains a gallery where specta tors may sit and watch the proce dure through glass windows. With this modern means of breed ing cows, as many as 500 cows can be bred with less trouble and danger than was encountered by breeding one animal by the old method, it was stated by techni cians at the barn. The laboratory of the associa tion is equipped with sterilizing ovens, freezing units and many other of the latest developments for use in this kind of work. The building is heated automatically and contains automatic watering devices for the animals. In order that a ration may be palatable it must be pleasing to the cow's taste.

PHONE RECORDERS - The Federal Communications Commission has decided to post pone the authorization of the use of automatic recorders on inter state telephone lines until March 1st Their use originally had been authorized to begin on January 19th. The delay was the result of a dispute over who would in stall and maintain the warning sound device which the FCC ?ays must be hooked up with the recorders. The device would omit a - "beep" sound at regular In tervals to serVe notice to phone users that what they say is be ing recorded at the other end of the line.
