THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1933 THE WAYKESVILLE MOUNTAINEER "Proved Material" Essential To Good Production In Cows i Etime Care Should Be Taken To See That Even Pure Bred Stock Increases Milk Production By W. D. Smith, County Agent. Improving dairy heirds and win !,:r.p football games are similar in seme respects. Both depend on the j st- of "proved material." Football games are won and cham pionships captured moire often by 'fans made up of proved players,. Cvery coach knows the importance i.i trying out his raoft promising first year" men on the second team where nty can prove whether or not they wn" io their part to win game?. Every dairyman who wants to tie. . eiop a winning herd, should know the importance! of using a good proved sire, or of proving a pros pective herd sire before using him t xtensively in the herd. Study, of the records of dairy r.t-rd-improvement associations by the Bureau of Dairy Industry has shown that many well-bred dairy sires w.th ;be most promising pedigrees, failed ?o raise the milk and butterfat pro duction level of the herds in which ithey were used. The Bulreau es timates that only about one-third of tne so-called we'll-bred bulls used in c'airy herd-improvement associations tore the ability to increase produc tion materially. This condition indicates that dairy jun would be more likely to rai.se the milk and butterfat production level of their herds and increase tJit-ir profits, year after year, if they would or could use only sires that 'nave already proved their ability to consistently sire high-producing daughters. It also indicates the im portance of proving all dairy sires n use at present, whether they have promising pedigrees or not, in order to discard the inferior bulls as soon as possible, and extend the use of 'to best sires. Increasing numbers of dairymen are joining herd-improvement asso ciations and keeping records of pro duction on the daughters of the herd s:re-s for comparison with the re cords of the respective dams of the 4ajghtoi-8 in order to find out vhether their bulls are good enough to stay in the "game." Perhaps Haywood dairymen are not ready to start herd test work but the county agent's office is ready at any time to start with producer? who are ready. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AT DUKE On November the JMh Dr. William Treston Few rounded out his 25 years as president of Duke University and its predecessor Trinity College, It was on November the 9, 1910,. that he was inaugurated succeeding the Jate Dr. John C. Kilgo, who had re signed to become a bishop in he Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Dr. Few joined the Trinity faculty ir, 1894 and before his election to the residency served as professor of English literature and dean of the college. The foremost event in the ns.;itution's history, the creation of the Duke Endowment by James B. Duke in 1924 came during Dr. Few's administration and he has seen the college grow from an enrollment of -"'. to 3,400. .

Reduction Made On Cost Of l 936 Tags COUNTY, AGENTS W. D.SMITH The VJ'M automobile license lags, will not go on sale this year until December 15, it was announced by Commissioner of Revenue A.' J. ".Max well and Director R. R. McLaughlin, of the .Motor Vehicle Bureau. Last year the l(.l,'if license plates went on sale December 1, but could nut be used until December 15, since the law specified- that the new license plates shall not be used until December 15. In 1 !).'(:!, because of the need for the revenue from the sale of license plates they were put on sale December 1 and ''f.-v., thidr liso nermittpif aftor that. date. ellginle The new 1936 automobile licen.se plates will be cheaper when they go on sale than in many years, since the 1935 general assembly changed the base rate for licensing passenger cars from 55 cents per 100 pounds to 40 cents per 100 pounds and the mini mum price from $12.50 to $8 for a set of plates. A letter informing the car owners of the state of thi.s change in license costs is enclosed with each application card. Experience the past two years has shown, however, that only a very few people purchased their license plates prior to December 15, espe cially since they cannot use the new plates until that date.: Accordingly it wa.s decided not: to put the 193ti li cense plates on sale at all until De cember 15. It has also been decided not to send out the license applica tion cards to present registered au tomobile owners until between De cember 10 and 15. The past two years these application cards were mailed out prior to December 1, with the result that by the time many car owners, "went to buy their licenses they had lost their application cards, thus causing extra trouble and delay both for themselves: and the license division. "Since most of the peonie wait un til the last two weeks, if not the' last week, to buy their new licenses, we decided not to open sales untl De cember 15 this year and also ..to mail the application cards out just barely in time for them to reach the car owners by December 15," Commission er MaxweTF saidT sales period and sending the appli cation cards out later than in the past, we are hoping fewer of these cards will be lost and that the car owners will buy more rapidly." The 1936 license plates will be black and green numeral and will be .iust a trifle larger than the present plates. Contracting growers of Burley tobacco in excess of their allotments, may obtain additional allotment cards under an amendment to an adminis trative ruling just announced by the Agricultural Adjustment Administra tion. The new ruling provides two meth c.ls through which contracting pro ducers with excess tobacco may purchase, through county agent's of fice, the unused allotment, of other producers whose production is de ficient. In such cases, the producer whose production is less than his al lotment will be required to execute a form on which he waives the deti ciencv payment under his contract fo,. 1935. Under the other method, a con necting grower with excess produc tion may, after he has sold hi.s initial allotment, purchase an additional al btment card through the county agent's office by refunding three cents for each pound of excess Burley to bacco. Under this latter method, the producer purchasing the additional allotment car will be required to sign an agreement and deliver to the .utility agent a certified check, bank draft, cashier's check, or postal mon ey ,'irder made payable to the order of the "United States Department of Agriculture." The funds in cumulated through the.-e refunds will be used in mak ing benefit payment. to all growers who co-operate under tobacco con tracts. The value of excess tobacco soli! will not be included in calculating the amount of the adjustment payments under the contract for 1935; In order ;o encourage the diversion of i he lower grades of tobacco to by product uses, especially in the case of dark types of tobacco, growers with excess .production may sell such ex cels tobacco to -manufacturers who enter into an agreement with the secretary to use such tobacco in the manufacture of nicotine, spray mate rial, fertilizer,.' or '.other tobacco by pioiiucts. For additional allotment cards to i-ovcr such .sales to nicotine companies; the contracting grower will cent per pound and will be to receive tax. payment war rants it the sales nill.s are properly certified by the nicotine buyers. De tailed ''.instructions may be obtained through county agent's 'offices' when the markets open. Contracting growers will not be permitted to sell tobacco except on al lotment cards issued in accordance with the provisions of the contract or the ruling. Watch for instruc tions from the county agent's office on other details of the program. Under the new 1936-1939 contracts for Burley payments to growers will depend upon the price of tobacco each year, the Agricultural Adjustment Administration announced' today, The new contracts are now- being printed. ; Growers will receive larger adjust ment payments if the price rises. Minimum, payments for Hurley and dark air-cured toba.ro are. guaranteed for 1936, the first year in which the contract is in effect. For Burley tobacco, a -minimum rate of payment of not less than $2.25 per 100 pounds of base tobacco produc tion for the farm is guaranteed for 1936. For dark air-cured tobacco, a minimum rate: of not les.s than $1.50 per 100 '.pound. is guaranteed for 1936: The fire-cured tobacco con tract does not specify a minimum rate. However, the rate of payment for 1936 for all three kinds of tobacco will-, depend upon the price of the 1936 crop, and the payment may be greater than the minimum rates where specified.

B. Hutson, director of the to bacco division, points out that the method of calculating the payments to make up the difference between the average farm price received by all growers and the parity price for the crop insures that insofar as pos sible and funds permits, contract signers will receive parity prices for that part of their crop which is used in this country. Under the new contract only one adjustment payment will be made each year. Under the contract now in effect for 1935, two payments are made a rental payment and adjust ment payment. The 1936-1939 contract provides that all contracting growers of the same kind of tobacco will get the same rate of payment. When the rate of payment is. determined, the amount a producer will receive can TO CHANGE THE TIME It is noon in Chicago by the sun, fifty-five minutes after it is noon in New York, It is noon on Chicago's clocks (Central Standard Time) one hour after noon in New York (East ern Time.)

The payments provided by the new contract will be made directly to the operator and each tenant or share cropper in the same proportion as their interest in the crop. About 93 per cent of the Hurley tobacco i.s consumed domestically, and three-fourths of the dark air-cured tobacco and about one-third of the fire-cured tobacco aru "tsumed in this country. No processing tax is collected on exported tobacco. W. D. SMITH, County Agent, The County Agent received from the County Agent, M. C. (Train, of Chester County, S. C, the following report of the bull sale there recently: Thirteen well bred bulls ranging from six to eighteen months old averaged $ 42.50. The top bull brought $305.00 consigned by Quail Koost Farms, Kougemont, N. C. Seventeen of the thirty-five heifers were consigned to Chester Count v breeders and aver aged $106.00. Hairy cattle are bringing fair prices everyhere. Those who want milk rim's should get them now as in dications are that when spring comes cou. will be much higher. Those who have rattle and are short on feed should see the county agent. A gooj farmer told me this week that he has silage and feed enough to care for 10 more head. HI.)OII.ENS DUEL Clllt'ACO.
