the color of the forests will be at
their best between October 15 and

amount of rainfall within the next

several heavy frosts and all that is
needed now is some moisture to
make the foliage turn all different
colors.
One of the favorite points along
the Parkway will be the lookout
overlooking the famous Pink Beds,
which turn so crimson in the fall
that they cast a pink glow against

All property owners are urged
to make regular checks over their
buildings to seek out danger spots I
for fires, which cause large losses I
of life and property each year in j

Home owners in Waynesville i
should be concerned mainly with
electrical wiring, trash accumula

Another hazard pointed out In
Chief Fitzgerald is in removing
ashes from stoves and placing them

Importance of Select

Described To Group
At Banquet
Some 200 attended the annual
banquet given by the Haywood
Hereford Breeder's Association
here Tuesday night, when Dr. L. V.
Starkey, of Clemson College was
the principal speaker.
Dr. Starkey was presented by
Dr. .1. L. Reeves, who termed him
as having done as much for the
improvement of animal husbandry
in the south as any other man.
The speaker discussed various
phases of the livestock industry,
from the standpoint of breeders,
starting off with the statement that
the sire is the most, important part
of a herd. In discussing line
bleeding, he warned that there
were so many chances to take in
breeding high quality cattle. "The
tendency is to slip backwards," he
commented "Sometimeswe have
to run as fast as we can in order
to stand still in the breeding de
partment .
"When selecting a herd bull, be
sure to gel one that is strong on
I points where the females are
weak avoid common weakness.
"We need to practice strict cull
ing, selling all inferior animals for
the market, rather than try to
sell them to oilier breeders."
Dr. Starkey pointed out that the
Hereford's main weakness was they
were poor milkers. This comes
natural, he said, inasmuch as their

wise be possible. We estimate it

State and county funds, plus fed
eral Clarke-McN'ary money now
available for the area, amount to
about $90,000: TVA will supply
$20,000. making $110,000 for the
year. This is $13,000 short of actu
al requirements but it is also ap
proximately $45,000 more than we
