ments, Dr. Steinberg applied the
chemical?either in liquid'or powder
form?to the cut surface where the
top was removed.
Results indicate that under green-'

These sbows, which laws aroused
the interest of many North Carolina
d-H Club and F. F. A. members, bare
greatly, contributed to the progress
mads in the state's dairy industry in
recent years, Mr. Kinney said. Young
?people who tabs part in these shows
net only contribute to the present
short food supply by producing these
animals, but they also leium better
practices in the breeding, feeding and
management of dairy cattle, "
;v^Recognizing the value of such an
eddcatioftal program in future yews,
several business concerns and civic
organisations throughout the state
have contributed. $10,000, to.be used
in-conducting these show*, Mr. Kiiu
rey said, and without this generous
support and cooperation it would nc?
be pgasiMe for them to be conducted.
