School Children On
Vacation Reason For
Added Road Hazards
*Be Careful When Chil
dren Are Careless’ Is
Poster Legend
“Vacationing school children are an
added road hazard in the spring and
summer and motor vehicle operators
should be watchful for them,” M.
Webster Henry, president of the
North Carolina Motor Carriers Asso
ciation, has announced.
“As a reminder to truck drivers,”
the industry official said, “the NCMCA
is sending its June courtesy and saf
ety campaign poster to member truck
companies throughout the State. The
poster legend is “ ‘School's Out—Be
Careful When (Children) Are Care
less’.” >■
“It’s true that parents must show
their children how to play safely off
the street and caution them not to
play or act foolishly on the street.
But you and I know that when the
bridle Os school supervision is thrown
off, youngsters will often toss cau
tion to the winds. Whatever the rea
sons are,” he continued, “it’s up to us
drivers to defend ourselves and the
children from such carelessness.”
“Besides general watchfulness,” Mr.
Henry concluded, “there are some spe
cific, easily done things we must do
to protect our ‘wild life’ —we must
rigidly keep within the posted speed
limits in neighborhoods, playgrounds
and parks. We must give a wide
berth to bicyclists and people walking
on the open highway. And remember
the technique of the professional
driver: if a ball, hoop, tire, etc.,
coines into view in the street ahead,
Hit the brakes. Some person, possib
ly a child, is likely to chase such an
object into the patii of your vehicle.”
Storage Os Peanuts
explained By Shaw
Many Growers Attend
Meeting Held In Win
ton Last Week
A special meeting of peanut grow
ers, of this area, was held at Winton
last Tuesday afternoon, for the pur
pose of discussing peanut storage
plans for the 1953 crop and the advis
ability of constructing additional
warehouse facilities.
The meeting was called by R. Flake
' Shaw, Farm Bureau Executive Vice
President, at the request of the Board
of the Growers Association.
Shaw, who has been negotiating for
the past three months with officials
of the Department of Agriculture in
Washington, said he has obtained a
ruling on the availability of govern
ment funds which may be borrowed
for storage construction.
He pointed out that fundi are avail
able from the Commodity Credit Cor
poration for the construction of stor
age on a matching basis, provided the
counties or individuals furnish 20 per
cent of the initial cost. “This money
will carry an interest rate of 4 per
cent and is to be amortized over a per
iod of five years,” he said.
Shaw emphasized that sufficient
peanut storage must be available for
the 1953 crop if farmers are to take
full advantage of the 90 per cent loan
Tate for basic commodities. “It is
Highly important that producers use
the loan program, especially during
the heavier stages of the marketing
season," he declared.
The Farm Bureau chief said there is
a substantial portion of the 1952 pea
nut crop now in storage and facilities
for storing the 1953 crop “will be very
scarce in certain areas unless steps
are taken to provide additional space.” ,

[ First Calf Born From Frozen Semen ] I
■
The first live calf evflr known to
have been bom in America from froz
en semen was “dropped” on the farm
of John and Melford Hill of Route 1,
Janesville, Wisconsin, Friday morning,
May 29th, according to a report re
leased by the Wisconsin Scientific
Breeding Institute, an American
Breeders Service, in Madison, Wiscon
sin.
E. O. Conrad, manager of the In
stitute reported that a number of ar
tificial breeding organizations are ex
perimenting with the use of frozen
semen in artificial insemination, but
to date, as far as is known, this calf
is the first in America that has result
ed from the frozen semen processl
Conrad pointed out that the British
were the first to conduct experiments
in successfully freezing and thawing
semen. They have been successful in
keeping semen frozen and of good
quality, for as long as one year. A
number of calves have been, bom in
England.
The Wisconsin Scientific Breeding
Institute, a non-profit organization, in
cooperation with the American Foun
dation For the Study of Genetics, a
publicly-endowed, research center at
Madison, repeated the experiments of
the British scientists and have bred
over 2,000 cows with frozen semen,
some stored as long as 4 months.
This marvelous discovery can very
well make it possible for a single
proved bull to have possibly as many
as 100,000 offspring through artificial
breeding. While now three out of
every four cubic centimeters of un
frozen semen is wasted, with frozen
semen, every cc could be used. There
will be fewer bulls in the stud, but bet
ter bulls producing many more off
spring. This discovery will make pos
sible a far wider distribution of the
influences of great proved sires. It
will be possible for the average farm
er almost anywhere in the country to
have the mating of his cows to the
best breeding bulls in the world at
probably no more charge than the reg
ular charge now being made. Semen

banks will be the answer! Commercial
breeding organizations will build up
banks of semen from their sires dur
ing the slack breeding season, thus
1 obtaining the most economic use of
the bull. These semen banks will make
it possible for dairymen to have ser
vice from a bull long after he has
died. In natural service it is consid
ered good if a bull has a few hundred
offspring. Artificial breeding has
boosted that figure into the thousands,
and now with frozen semen, it could
very well be into the hundreds of
; thousands.
Although frozen semen in the popu
lar sense may seem a simple process,
a tremendous amount of research and
study is still being actively pursued
by the researchers at both the Wiscon
sin Scientific Breeding Institute and
the American Foundation For the
Study of Genetics.
Semen to be alive and of good quali
ty must of necessity be frozen care
, fully through the low temperature
range of 40 degrees Fahrenheit to 110
degrees Fahrenheit (temperature of
'dry ice.) and there held until used.
' The British scientist discovered that
! this could only be done by using gly
cerol as a buffer with semen, proper
ly cooled. The action of glycerol in
the solution prevents injury to the
sperm during the freezing and thaw
ing.
The Wisconsin Scientific Breeding
Institute is managed by the Ameri
can Breeders Service of Chicago, the
world’s largest privately owned arti
ficial breeding organization. The six
ABS studs will breed over 800,000
cows this year with fewer than 150
proved sires. Rock County Breeders,
of Janesville, Wisconsin, one of the
285 organizations using ABS service,
cooperated in the experiment, and
their their inseminator Berlyn Gru
ber, artificially bred the sow having
the first calf.
How seldom we weigh our neighbor I
in the same balance with ourselves!

This Week’s Poem
By WILBORNE HARRELL
VACATION DAZE
• Where the pavement ends and the
grass begins
And the street becomes an inviting
lane,
Where clouds sail over wide acres of
clover
And the land lies kissed by the wind
and rain.
Where pencils are lengthened to fish
ing rods
And we doff our cloaks of books and
wheels,
Tis then we revel with the woodland
gods
And reign for a day over streams and
fields.

When kidney function slows down, many
folks complain of nagging backache, head
aches, dizziness and loss of pep and energy.
Don t suffer restless nights with these dia
