Program Released
For Cattle Raising
Nine Points Listed to
Keep Cattle Thriving
On Pasture
A 9-ipoint program to help farmers
keep their cattle thriving on pasture
this season is issued by the American
Foundation for Animal Health.
The Foundation’s checklist for
farmers stressed these points:
(1) Don’t let animals gorge them
selves on lush, young pastures. Guard
against bloat and grass tetany by
making the animals change to green
feed gradually.
(2) Inspect the herd once a week
for evidence of pink-eye. Remove
any animals vtfth eye troubles to a
darkened stall, and get an immediate
diagnosis of the trouble.
(3) In blackleg areas, have all
calves vaccinated against the disease.
(4) Protcet the herd against flies .
by spraying with approved insecticide. .
(5) Examine pastures periodically
for the .presence of poisonous plants.
(6) Check the herd regularly for
wounds through which parasites and
disease germs may enter.
(7) If suspected cases of lumpy 1
jaw develop, get the affected animals
off pasture and away from the rest *
of the herd. Have them treated ‘
promptly, before the condition gets '1
worse. *
(8) When calves are unthrifty, sus
pect the presence of parasites. The *
parasite danger is especially great <
on old pastures and community pas-
tures.
(9) Bovine tuberculosis is still a }
problem, and cattle should be tested 1
periodically for it, as well as for <
brucellosis.

Eastern Carolina Can
Produce Good Pastures
Observation of pastures in Curri
tuck, Pasquotank, and Perquimans
Counties has convinced Dr. E. R. Col
lins, in charge of agronomy for the
State College Extension Service, that
Eastern North Carolina can produce
pastures equal to any grown in the
State.
Dr. Collins recently attended pas
ture tours in these counties, where he
observed many acres of Ladino clover
fescue and other grazing mixtures.
Most encouraging part of the picture,
he says is that these pastures are be
ing grown on land unsuited for the
crops generally produced in that area.
Philip Roberts of Currituck Coun
ty seeded 7% acres which had been
used in broom-sedge, fennel, and
sourgrass. He used 214 tons of lime
on this low-lying, poorly drained soil
and fertilized with 800 pounds of
2-12-12 and 600 pounds of 0-14-14 per
acre. The Ladino-fescue mixture is
making excellent growth on land

and wait to see what happened. Now
he is glad he did, for he-has a nice
stand and it Is growing rapidly.
Dr. Collins says in some areas less
vigorous pastures are seen where
farmers decided to take short cuts
and leave out some of the essential
steps such as liming, inoculating the
seed, preparing the seedbed properly,
and fertilizing.
Get away from the crowd when you
can. Keep yourself to yourself, if
only for a few hours daily.

McMullan said that if the court
rules against segregation in these
cases it would mean an end to

schools in the South, including the
public schools, or public trans- ]

V. S. Senatorial Candidate Wil

' pation in a segregation case be
fore the Supreme court and de
clared:
"McGrath should devote his
time to more important matters
instead of trying to upset the
time-honored traditions of the
South."
He suggested that the attorney
general "might do well to join the
fight against communism in
America."
.Smith asserted that: “McGrath
should know that the people of the
South will never stand a for an
FEPC measure in any form, so
now he’s trying to use other meth
ods to bring about a program de
signed merely for the Northern
politicians.”
The senatorial candidate, who
has stated in his platform and
. in speeches throughout the State
that he is unalterably opposed to
the FEPC in any form, expressed
Why doesn't oar Junior Senator stand np and tell the Northern political
bosses to stop destroying Southern racial harmony lor the sake o! votes
In the northern metropolitan areas?
HERE'S WHY;
Because Dr. Graham helped write the Civil Rights Report, which Includes
FEPC, end believes in it.
Dr, Graham now says as a candidate running for office that he favors "The
North Carolina Way of Life," But his past record indicates that ho has
always favored ending segregation.
If Dr. Graham believes in our traditional North Carolina system of sonaralsi
and equal facilities." why has ho stood silent while Mr. McGrath tries for
political reasons to cram his own program down our throats? Be knows
that the whole N. C. School system of separate schools for the races stands

Our state has enjoyed fine racial harmony mid advancement, but the North*

The Southern, Informed of the
