STATE PATROL
VINDICATES
SHP TROOPER
The State Highway Patrol Fri
day went to bat for Trooper Gary
W. Church, the patrolman who ar
rested Superior Court Solicitor
Robert S. Swain on a drunken
driving charge.
"Our confidence in his honesty
and integrity is unshaken," said
Maj. C. R. Wulliams, director of
the Patrol's enforcement division.
Swain was acquitted and during
the trial defense attorneys sugest
ed that Church had been involved
in a hubcap theft in Marion be
fore he joined the Petrol.
Williams said, "We have com
pleted our investigation of the im
plied allegation that State High
way Patrolman Gary Church wee
involved improperly in an automo
bile hubcap theft incident prior to
becoming a hiighway patrolmen.
The investigation convinces us
that Patrolman Church was not a
participant in any such theft and
lour confidence in his honesty and
(Integrity is unshaken.
"We hope that the vindication
catches up with the accusation end
we are sure that Patrolman Church
will continue to serve the people
of North Carolina courteously,
fairly and fearlessly."

BEEF CATTLE
SALES INCREASE
OVER LAST EAR
Beef cattle farmers of Madison
County have experienced a better
year in the ,, -sale, qf .beef .cattle
than the 1964 season. Feeder
calves and yearling steers grew
well during the season in spite of
she drought from mid-July until
the latter part of August. They
put on more weight per head than
in prior years and as a result
many of them improved in grade.
The average price increase per
pounds on Most feeder calves and
yearling steers was about 3 cents.
This increase in price and the in
crease in weight bee resulted in a
considerably greater beef oattle
income then farmers received last
year.

The chief objective of each
farm program administered at the
county level by farmer elected
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation committees is to
help farmers strengthen or im
prove their farm income, accord
ing Ralph Ramsey, ASCS office
manager for Madison County.
Such programs, he said, enable
farmers to work together collect
ively rather than as individuals,
thereby, strengthening their own
economy and the economy of the
entire county, state and nation.

By HARRY G. SILVER
County Extension Chairman
Madison County farmers experi
enced a very good year in tomato
production and marketing in the
1966 season. Early growing con
ditions were very good and most
farmers had a good early fruit
set which developed on the first
three hands. The early marketing
season was one of the best quali
ty tomatoes ever shipped from
Western North Carolina. The to
tal volume of tomatoes to be ship
ped from Western North Carolina
was above any previous year and
many of the tomatoes were ship
ped to markets on which tomatoes
from this area had never been sold
before. The excellent quality
which was placed on these new
markets has built a good reputa
tion for Western North Carolina
tomatoes.
Most new producers of vine ripe
tomatoes in Madison County learn
ed that there is money to be made
from the production of tomatoes.
Many of the old producers who
bad done a better job than in pri
or years learned that good disease
and insect control problems on
their vine ripe tomatoes is one of
the most profitable usage of their
good management on the farm.
The outlook for tomato produc
tion in Madison County for the
1966 season is very good. There
should be an expansion of at least
85 in tomato acreage in the
county. Part of
eM&fct ith old
part will be produced
who have never pr
toes for market.
