Many Farm Mishaps
Caused 8y Animals
County Agent Says Good
Turn To Check Farm
Equipment
Maybe a horseshoe means good luck,
but a horse is often the cause of acci
dent or serious injury to a human
being.
Horses are not considered danger
ous. Yet records of the National
Safety Council show they account for
more accidents than any other farm
animal. i
This is pointed out by 'C. W. Over
man, county agent for the State Col- ,
lege Extension Service, who says all .
livestock should be handled kindly (
but with alertness, since even gentle ,
animals may kick or strike when ]
startled.
It’s a good rule to speak to all (
animals as you approach them, says ■,
the county agent.
The so-called gentle bull is too of-^ (
ten the one which acts at urmxnected .
moments, gores someone to death, or l ,
inflicts serious injury. One of the],
principal rules with bulls is to handle
them as little as possible. I
With a well-constructed bull pen ]
any bull can be cared for safely >
and with almost no handling. The I
gates and doors, as well as facilities
for feeding, watering, and breeding,
can be arranged so there is no need
for the caretaker to. expos? himself
to attack.
Bulls should be rung at an early
age and worn or weakened rings
should he replaced promptly. When
it is necessary to lead a bull, always
use- a staff.
Mr. Overman suggests that this is a j
good time of year to check thoroughly
all equipment obe used with horses
and mules in the spring work and
make necessary repairs. Since dry
leather has low tensile strength, har- |
ness should be put in good condition '
by thoroughly cleaning with mild
soap and warm water and oiling with
good harness oil. Special attention
should also be given to neck-yokes,
tongues, single-trees and double-trees
and eveners.

ANSWERS
Question —Is it practical for a flue
cured tobacco grower to raise aromat
ic tobacco too?
Answer—No. The labor demands
for these two types of tobacco both
reach their peak at the same time—
during the harvest time. For this
reason it is not considered practical
for flue-cured growers to add aro
matic tobacco to their operations.
However, there are many farmers
in the Piedmont and western areas
of North Carolina who do not have
an allotment for producing flue-cured
or hurley and who need a supplement
al cash income, or additional labor in
come, for their families. For many
of these people, aromatic tobacco may
be the answer.
Question —Are prices for forest pro
ducts expected to remain good this
year?
Answer—lndications are that the
demand for forest products will con
tinue strong in 1952 and prices are
expected to remain near present lev
els.
Forestry specialists at State Col
lege say this is a good time for Tar
Heel farmers to take advantage of

j~ OPS Questions j
Q —How is it that OPS can control
the prices of white (Irish) potatoes,
but not those of other farm pro
ducts?
A—Since many farm products are
governed by the so-called parity law,
OPS cannot regulate their prices until
they reach 100 per cent of parity. Re
cently, potato prices attained 105 per

cent of parity; hence, OPS had ,lhe
legal right to control them.
Q —’Recently I had the same dress [
cleaned twice, once * downtown and (
once in my neighborhood Shopping
center. I pajd, two different prices,
yet each firm showed me its ceiling
price list when I asked to see it.
Please explain this.
I A —Ceiling prices in dry cleaning
establishments are based on each
firm’s charges during the base period,
( December 19, 1950-January 25, 1961.
, They may vary slightly from firm to
1 firm. - -
I Q —What are the “Capehart Amend
ment” adjustments of prices ?
1 A—ln July, 1951, Congress passed .
. an amendment to the Defense Produc-1
tion Act of 1950 (sponsored by ’Sena- ■
; tor Homer Capehart) which allows
, manufacturers, processors, and ser
vice firms to apply to OOP® for new
ceiling prices. The amendment al
lows these groups to add increased
overhead costs since the outbreak of
the Korean War, as well as more labor
and materials costs than OPS original
ly allowed in figuring ceiling prices.
Q —Why aren’t barbers and beau
ticians governed' by ceiling prices?
A—The latest Congrese exempted
