Many Cows on State Farms
Are Not Paying Their Way
Many cows on North Carolina
farms could be classified as de
pendents, even though their Owners
can’t declare them as such for in
come tax purposes. They are de
pendents, says R. L. Wynri, dairy
specialist for the N. C. Agricultural
Extension Service, because they do
not produce enough to pay for the
feed they consume, the housing
they require, and the hours of la
bor spent in taking care of them
Many dairy herds would produce
better if the poorest cows were

eliminated, Wynn said. A herd of^
25 cows, for instance, might pro
duce more milk if one poor pro
ducer was eliminated (culled) and
her feed divided among the better
producers. Then in addition to
greater profits, the dairyman
would have less work or more
time to improve his general man
agement.
“The only reliable way to find
low producers that will pull down
a herd’s efficiency is to keep
some kind of records,” Wynn con
tinued. “There is a definite correla
tion between record keeping and
high production per cow.”
North Carolina cows on' the Dai
ry Herd Improvement Association
(DHIA) Record-Keeping program
last year, produced an average of
approximately 9,000 pounds of
milk. This is to be compared with
a production of only about 5,000
pounds by the average North Caro
lina cow.

“Now is a good time to cull your
herd,” Wynn said, “while beef
prices are good. County agricul
tural agents will be happy to give
you information on how to get
started on a good record-keeping
system.”
A poor working man received a
letter, obviously delivered by mis
take. The letter, intended for a
newly married movie star, contain
ed a threat to kidnap his wife un
less a sizeable sum of money was
forthcoming. The working man sat
down and wro^te an immediate re
ply, “Sir, I don't have much money,
but I’m mighty interested in your
proposition.”

BEWARE ... It doesn’t happen
every day in the week but motor
ists like storekeepers and banks
sometimes fall prey to armed gun
men. At best the victims lose their
cars and cash. Others are savage
ly beaten and sometimes left dead.
’The State Highway Patrol warns
motorists they can easily be rob
bed unless they keep a few simple
rules in mind. Alertness here not
only can keep a driver from losing
his money but maybe his life as
well.
Troopers advise travelers to pace
their driving approaching an inter
section. If there’s a traffic light
there, adjust your speed to hit it
about the time it turns green. This
practice eliminates a stop which
might otherwise produce an unwel
come stranger.
Glance often in your rear view
mirror, not only for safety, but to
decide if someone is following you
too diligently. Reduce your speed
and allow him to pass—if he will.
Otherwise pull off at a service
station or some well-lighted place
and see what happens. If need be
call officers.
After dark keep to well travel
ed thoroughfares. A little known
short cut may be appealing as a
time saver, but it could be danger
ous. In unfamiliar areas, help may
not be readily available if you need
assistance.
And to repeat what we had here
a few weeks ago—never pick up
hitch hikers!
In a traffic dispute you may get
angry enough to bite 10-penny
nails. But keep your temper in
check. Such arguments, police say,
often lead to assault and sometimes
robbery.

MUST HAVE . . . They call ’em
“go caits,” don’t they? Those minia
ture race cars made up of welded
pipe and powered by a lawn mower
engine. I watched a bunch of them
last Saturday, zipping around the
parking lot of the Motor Vehicles
Building. Speedy little rascals, too
Barely enough to be called a motor
vehicle. Yet if they are driven on
the road they gotta have a license
tag—like with any normal sized ve
hicle. According to DMV officials,
liability insurance covering the
miniatures must be secured as well
as a tag.
And, hey, youngsters, out on the
road the driver must be licensed,
too. Spoilsports? Nope, laws aren’t
made of rubber.

SNATCHES . . . Any day your
car may be the target of an auto
thief, who will most likely be a ju
venile delinquent or an amateur.
A skilled' professional who really
wants your car bad, can cope with
locked doors and no ignition key.
But, like officials of the Motor Ve
hicles Department’s Auto Theft Bu-
rea say, “Why make it a cinch for
him?”
They recommend:
Always lock doors and take ig
nition key "before leaving your car.
Even for a short time.
Try to avoid parking in dark or
poorly lighted streets.-
Don’t, leave packages, luggage or
other valuables on the seat or ex
posed where they be seen by pass
ers-by.
It’s not a very good trick either
to hide keys somewhere in the car;
thieves know where to look for
them.
