A BOY
^Jobody Mhows what a boy is
worth,
iboy at his work or play,
boy who whistles about the
place
Or laughs in his artless way.
Nobody knows wh3t a boy is
worth, ?
An<J the world must wait and see,
Fpr every man in his honored
I place,
a boy that used to be.
Nbbody knows what a boy is
worth
A boy with his small bare feet;
So have a smile and a kindly
word .
For every boy you meet.

Pasture Care
Hints Are Given
Being prepared to supply ad
ditional water when it is needed
may prove to be good insurance
against pasture loss during the
hot, dry months of summer and
fall.
Howard Ellis, in charge of agri
cultural engineering for the State
College Extension Service, says
Tar Heel tobacco farmers are
pretty well aware of the import
ance of irrigation. But the dairy
and beef cattle faremr may not
be so sure.
Ellis says that during dry sum
mers, such as North Carolina has
experience'd during the last three
or four years, the grazing capa
city of pastynras ean-be increased
50 per irrigated water.
In tests T?cently conducted by
the Tennessee Dairy Experiment
Station, return^ from pastures
that were Irngated averaged
about $100 more per acre than
non-irrigated pastures ? after cost
of irrigation and other costs were
deducted.
The tests compared irrigated
orchard grass, alfalfa, afid Ladi
no clover pasture with non-irri
gated. It was found that thfe irri
gated plots provided 257 cow
days of grazing per acre, compar
ed with 176 days for the non-Ir
rigated plots.
The irrigated plots produced
12,520 pounds of milk with 523
pounds of butterfat, compared
with only 8,019 pounds of milk
with 354 pounds of butterfat from
the non-irrigated plots.
Homemakers in this country
continued to purchase more but
ter and cheese in May than in
months prior to the reduction in
price supports on dairly products,
according to the USDA.

Itfs the Hit that's
writing New Histoid
Take a look, if you please, at the car
and the styling that are changing his*
toric sales standings.
Take a4ook at the beauty and the buy
called Buick? the car that is forging ahead
to new sales heights in the 1954 market.
Take a look at the new best seller that has
moved into the "Big Three" of the nation's
top sales leaders? into that very exclusive
? circle that for two decades has held only
the so-called "low-price three."
For today, as national sales figures for the
first five months reveal, Buick is outsell*
ing all other cars except two of these "low*
price three." And each month firms
Buick's new position.
It takes solid worth to bring this about?
a lot more automobile per dollar in Buick
than in other cars.
But it also takes the glamorous new tomor
row styling that is Buick today. It takes
the highest V8 horsepowers, Series lor
Series, in all Buick history. It takes the
room and comfort and ride and handling
that are Buick's proud tradition.
And it takes a range of cars to satisfy a
wide range of people ? with prices that
most people can well afford. So you find
the low-priced Special, the high-powered
CentuW, the extra-spacious Super, and
the custom-built Roadm aster ? the four
big reasons for Buick's tremendous sales
success.
Gome in for a demonstration and you'll
see what we mean.
Witrt the years-away styling of this glamor
car, you'll be way ahead at resale time.
And right now you're money ahead with
the big trade-in allowance our volume
sales can bring you. Drop in this week.
Bnick Sales
are Soaring!
