Agner TAR HLLL SHttf SHtAKUU HAVE ALWAYS DONE WELL North Carolina’s sheep shearing team has always done well in the National Shearing Contest at Chicago, A. V. Allen, extension animal husbandry specialist at State College, points out. This year’s team was no excep tion. The team made up of Roy Lee Mabe and Emmett Atwood, coached by County Agent R. E. Rlack of Alleghany County, fin ished well among the leaders. In 1 the finals. Mabe finished third in the nation with an aver age score of 93.9, and Atwood placed seventh with a score of 93. The winning score was 94.4. Coach Black is well-pleased with the showing his boys made. Each won a $60 Savings Bond. In addition, Mabe received a hand some belt with a sterling silver buckle. Allen says that the record made bj North Carolina boys is even more outstanding considering the fact that many of the boys com peting in the contest are from counties which have more sheep than can be found in the entire Tar Heel state. The trip to the national contest was sponsored by Chatham Manu facturing Company of Elkin. Local Farmers Invited To Beef Cattle Meet Gaston County farmers who at tend the Beef Cattle Conference at State College Wednesday and Thursday, December 21 and 22, will hear some of the nation's out standing authorities on cattle pro duction, management, and financ ing, according to County Agent Paul Kiser. One of the speakers, D. C. Boughton of DuPont Company, Wilmington, Del., will discuss “Parasite Control,” a subject that is becoming of more import ance to North Carolina cattlemen. ! Paul Kiser said that with the tre mendous increase in the number of animals in the state, and an expected further increase, farm ers can expect more problems from disease and parasites. New information on disease and para sitt control is becoming- available constantly, and Boughton is in a good position to discuss these with farmers, the agent said. Another on the program will be K. J. Shaw, manager of Mc Nair Farms, Laurinburg, who will tell how McNair turned acres di verted from cash crops to the profitable production of beef cat tie feed crops. C- H. Codding, partner in the famous Rock Hill Ranch of Foraker, Okla., will ex plain his unusual and successful program of culling cows, in a TILLMAN'S VARIETY STORE Wishing vou peace, gaiety and aii good things.

Farmers Shouldn’t Forget To Bring Marketing Card Tobacco and peanut farmers are required by law t° return their marketing cards to the local ASC office at the close of the marketing season. H. D. Godfrey, administrative officer for the ASC State Com mittee, says that farmers who neglect to return their marketing cards will have their 1955 allot ments reduced. iAst year, accord ing to Godfrey, 295 producers in the state had their 1955 allot ments reduced for failure to re turn marketing cards and other violations. These negligent farmers com pared with the 163.679 tobacco and peanut farmers in the state are "just a drop in the bucket,” he said. However, failure to re turn these cards definitely hurts the farmers whose allotments are reduced and H also slows up the work in the county ASC office considerably. Godfrey says that regulations provide that the producer must return to the county ASC office each tobacco or peanut marketing card issued for the farm within 30 days after th eclose of the markets in the general' locality. Many farmers, he said, are still putting off returning the tobacco and peariut marketing cards. Flue-cured tobacco farmers, with a five per cent acreage cut last year, and another cut in acre age next year, should not take a chance on. losing more acreage for mere carelessness.
