Garden RA BBIT SHO W HERE -- The Cape Fear Rabbit Breeders Association 's Second annual Rabbit Show in Raeford attracted some 400 entries to the new National Guard Armory Saturday. Here are some of the visitors with some of the entries. Accent On Agriculture Business volume of farmer cooperatives in this country reach ed a record high of $71 .5 billion in 1981, 8 percent above 1980. This rise in volume is attributed primarily to larger quantities of farm products marketed by cooperatives. Cooperatives have enabled farmers to reduce their costs of production. They have also helped farmers market food products in the quality, uniformity, and the volume that is required by the con suming public. \ .

Working through cooperatives, farmers are able to take on more functions related to farm produc tion and food distribution and pro cessing. This ability is extremely important to farmers - and to con sumers. By helping to support and main tain a family farm system of agriculture, the cooperative form fT : Hill ? of organization is performing a great public service. Co-ops form a basis for achievement of greater equity and more balance between small farmers and large corporate enterprises in the markets for farm products and the markets for farm production supplies. Farm cooperatives over the years have become inseparable from the family farm. Because cooperatives are owned and con trolled by farmers, the benefits flow back to rural America to farmers and are plowed into the production of more food.

In fact, one person in North Carolina has been sentenced in a theft-related case. The theft of a horse, whether a pure pet, pleasure animal, expen sive breeding animal, or show animal, can cause many problems. The emotional loss from the theft of a pet can be just as severe as the economic loss from the theft of an expensive breeder or show horse. One way you can minimize the chances of such a loss occurring to you or a friend is to make sure the horse is properly identified. Most horse owners believe they can properly identify their horse, after all, they can recognize it. Also, they may have a few snap shots of the horse or even registra tion papers issued by a breed association. However, if you had to go to court to prove that a horse was yours, could you do it? A study done in 1972 showed that 25^0 of the thoroughbreds registered through the Jockey Club did not match their papers. A veterinarian in Washington also found that 15 to 20^0 of the horse certificates he checked in that state did not match the horse they belonged to. Proper identification can not only help you regain your horse if it is stolen, but it can also help in several different areas. Changes of ownership could be more effective as well. Finally, it would be easier to obtain loans and settle insurance claims, also. How can you properly identify your horse? There are forms available through the Agricultural Extension Office to aid in compil ing identification information. Outline drawings from photographs including full face and both sides with all four legs showing should be used. Emphasis should be put on properly placing scars, brands, cowlicks, or other distinguishing marks correctly on the drawings. | Also, measure and draw life-size on graph paper the chestnuts found on the inside of the horse's legs. However, remember chestnuts can be surgically altered. Prepare on accurate verbal description also. That way, if it comes to it you could accurately describe your horse over the phone to a non -horseman who has never seen it. Photographs also have their I place in your records. Make sure you select proper film lighting and background so as to show the horse's conformation, markings, coloration and head shape. You can also identify a horse by adding distinguishing marks from hot brands, surgical implants, tatoos, or freeze marks. Any of these can aid you in pro- . perly identifying your horse or ' horses. Good identification infor mation can save you a great deal of grief and/or expense, as well as, your horse's life if you ever do need to identify it. Plan now to properly identify your horse before you have to do it to save the animal.
