TOUPEE TROUBLE;
CAUSES A SUIT
An interesting development has
reached the news columns concern
ing a toupee. It seems that one
Robert Owens, of Honolulu, Ha
waii, bought a toupee.
He was wearing it down the
, -etreet one day and a friend of
his approached and looked it over.
His friend's conclusion was that
he should take the toupee off.
Owens, according to the news
account, took the toupee off but
thought he looked worse than ev
er because he was tanned below
the hairline and not where the
toupee had rested. Therefore, he
concluded, the toupee made him
look ridiculous. j
The net result of this mix-up is i
that Owens is suing a hair clinic
for $5,600 in compensation. The
compensation is supposed to be
for making him look ridiculous.
AU of which goes to prove law
suits can crop up out of the
strangest things. We will be in-:
teres ted to know if Owens col-!
lects, and if he does, we suppose .
the price of toupees already !
reported high will be increased, j

RABIES CLINICS
ARE SCHEDULED
Rabies is a communicable dis
ease which is spread from rabid
animals to man through an abra
sion in the skin, usually due to
one or more bites inflicted by the
mad animal.
Like most of our communicable
diseases it can be prevented if
enough people who have dogs will
see that they are vaccinated. This
year we have available new vac
cine which will protect your dog
from rabies for three years in
stead of only one year as for
merly used. , ?
Some counties to Western North 1
Carolina have bad raHd dogs re
cently. These dogs have bitten
foxes, the foxes have bitten eat-
. tie, and some farmers nave lost
whole herds of eattle because of
Tables. This loss' could 'have been
' entirely prevented if each county
would; put on Rabies Control
Program and . each v dog r owner
have his dogs vaccinated. ' -
It is not only loss of livestock
that we are Interested in but the
protection of human beings. Many
children are given fourteen doses
of the rabies prophylactic vaccine
each year because of dog bites.

Ramsey Reviews
(Continued from page me)
Government shared approximately
60 of the cost with farmers. The
record reveals the total gross cost
share borne (small payment in
cluded) by the Government with
the fanners under the 1956 ACP
amounted to $101,691.60. The
participating farmers contributed
about the same amount in cash as
the Government did in purchas
ing the needed conservation ma
terials for the practices perform-
ed and also provided all labor cost
involved. The total cost of all
practices completed for credit un
der last year's ACP within the
county is estimated to be near a
quarter of a million dollars, ac
cording to Ramsey.
A breakdown on the extent, the
cost borne by the Government and
the number of farms carrying out
approved practices indicates the
following: (1) Establishing a veg
etative cover in crop rotation for
hay or pasture, 2162 acres, $42,
029.00 on 670 farms; (2) Estab
lishing permanent pasture 79
acres, $1,366.00 on 23 farms; (3)
Liming material alone on farm
land 821 acres, $5,240.00 on 164
farms; (4) Improvement of pas
ture or hay 4048 acres, $34,289.00
on 616 farms; (5) Tile drainage
2,730 feet, $218.00 on 9 farms;
and (6) Establishing winter cov
er crop 2360 acres, $5,296.00 on

351 acres and the noncrop pasture
to 36,962 acres.
'Ramsey pointed out ' the fact
that more county farmers took
part in the AQjin 1956 than for
any Te giflte the package type
practice became a requirement
back In 1953. He explained that
the package deal required the use
of lime and fertilizer when estab
lishing a vegetative cover for hay
or pasture unless the farmer has
a recent soil analysis test indicat
ing they are not needed.
In conclusion, the office man
ager said that even though the
County ASC Committee and per
sonnel are responsible for the ad
ministration of the Agricultural
Conservation Program within the
county, that the program could
not have been successful without
the wholehearted cooperation and
help provided by each of the other
county agricultural agencies, the
county vendors, the business
firms, the farm organizations, the
press and radio, and that the con
tribution of each was greatly ap
preciated. A closing thought: Any nation
is rich so long as its supply of
soil resources is greater than the
needs of its people.

Gabriels Creek , j
(Brought From First Page)
Max Ammons and Vern Cody,
got together at a meeting to de
termine what could be done to les
sen or eliminate the damages to
their crops and soil which they
were experiencing each year.
They invited the Soil Conserva
tion Techinician, Mr. John Nes
bitt, and the county agent to meet
with them and help them decide
the best method which they might
use to control the flood waters of
Gabriels Creek.
Plans were made at this meet
ing and agreed upon by the farm
ers to control the overflow of Ga
briels Creek. Since that time the
stream bed has been widened and
lowered to the extent recommend
ed by the soil conservationist who
imade a thorough study of the,
area necessary to be included in
the stream bed to carry the high
est expected water over a 50 year
period. Since this was a commu
nity project the French Broad
Electric Membership Corporation
loaned to the farmers af air com
pressor and made a4Zla(le to
them an operator for thejeompres
sor and for the drfUJf Jbe used
for blasting the rocklfrom the
streams.
The farmers involved agree that
this has been an expensive pro
ject but they feel that their losses
during the past two years have
been as great as the ex
pense involved in straightening,
widening and making the stream
bed deep enough to carry the ex-
pected flow of water. They plan
further to stabilize the banks of
Gabriels Creek through their
farms so that furture floods will
not change the course of the
stream and dig into their most
Drecious possession, their bottom
Individual action in controll
ing the flood waters is very
difficult and in some instances
impossible. Group action of
neighbors working together can
do almost anything which the'
desire if they work together as
the farmers along the middle sec
tion of Gabriels Creek have done.
