PAGE EIGHT Boone High ; School News |j /'antniKtiiiul Km*- !,. RiuutA Blttfh l School Journalism Club. 111F. BOY SCOl-TS Four or five months ago a Boy' Scout trooo was formed fit Boone I High. Now. we are a chartered group with f if ten members. We have our regular meeting every Tuesday night at Legion Hall ana also meet every Wednesday at club period Beside it regular work, the troop is now making a study of archery. We have swimming lessons every Saturday at the college pool under the supervision of Mr. Ralph Hagantan. 'I UK <>I.KK CLUB The Glee Club, sponsored by Mrs. Pyatle. is doing excellent work. They are now working on a selection entitled "The Green Cathedral." This, they say. is very hard, but is a beautiful piece of music. It takes them, to be exact, thirty minutes to get on the right tune, and as soon as they j do, Mrs. Pyatte looks back and Ward j Carroll is off the track. Dorothy Far-j imng leads trie alios 011 trie wrong tune and Daisy Lyons tickles them "pink." In spite of all this, they enjoy trying: and are .making: some progress. THE AI TO MECHANICS In a little room in old Boone Iligh',is a dirty band of greasy boys labor- T ing earnestly over the remains of ail old Model "T." They have torn it up, but they have a lot of work to do to get it back together. Mr. Farthing sponsors this group. ATHLETIC CLUB 1 The club is not as busy a3 it was ^ at the first of school, but there is still plenty of interest. Basketball rules arc being studied now. Fast , games are also discussed. One has to ? 1 ho a.trnofl st hofnro ho nniiJoin V the club. The members are planning j ? to have a baseball program arranged j, by the next meeting. Mr. Christen-1J bury is sponsor of tlie club. i * A ( OKKECTION Please permit me to take a little j, space to correct a mistake concern- j, ing the coach of our basket ball team. J, Mr. Oejllcr is not at all the "head j man" of the team. Mr. Staley holds this position. Tom B. Moore. CLUBS Beginning this week, our column will bo used at intervals for the club activities and discussing the progress they have made. FUTURE FARMERS Mr. Shipley, sponsor of the club of Future Farmers of America, has made known the intentions of the club to enter a public- speaking con- j test to be held in Asheville on Hie j twenty-third of this Month. This is one. of four such contests to be held' throughout the State and is being sponsored by the State. All the boys have high hopes but only one contestant from each school will be considered. THE CAFETERIA The eating department of Boone High is asking the student body to bring from home foods such as tomatoes, eggs, cabbage, and cucumber pickles. The student will be given meal tickets in return for the foods they bring. They have been planning the menus but cannot do much, so if you want to eat, bring fcn>d. This club is sponsored by Miss German. THE E J BRAKY COMMITTEE The library committee has been very busy lately, cataloging new : books. These books are supposedly < very interesting and we hope that ; the student body will like them well enough to take good care of them. .They have also been mending old books and we hope soon to have an adequate supply of reading matter. THE RADIO CLUB Grant Ashley, president of the Ra- J dio Club, has announced that this i club has been making good progress, i An oscillator has been purchased and school radio broadcasts are planned < for some time in the future. 1 STUDKNT COUNCIL c The Student Council is busy spon- i soring a plan in order to raise money i to help pay for the school radio. For l - *% lung ujhc wc nave yccn trying w i find a way to raise money for pay- i ment on the radio and at last we have found a way, by giving this play. i The characters for the play have i already been selected from the stu- : dent body. Mr. Crook and Mr. Folkes I are to be directors of the play. BAPTIST CHURCH 1 Sunday, February 17, 19S5 < Sunday School at 9:45 a. m.; wor- 1 ship and sermon at 11:00, subject, 1 "At Bethel"; 6 pun.

SHIPLEY Several thousand dollars are lost ?y the North Carolina iamb produc- | irs each year because they do not | lock and castrate their lambs. TrThimed. lambs frequently sell for 50 cents to SI.50 per hundred more han those untrfmnied. There arc several reasons for tliis: <1) Wether anibs iaucii uelier int&xi mtu mnluoi They produce better carcasses by put:ing a larger portion of flesh on the Darts which give the high priced cuts, such as leg and loin, while ram lambs levclop more in the neck and shouliers. (3) Buyers always prefer a uniform bunch of wether and ewe lambs that have been docked, over a lot containing some rams and some with long tails. (3) The quality of meat from large ram lambs is strongly discriminated against by consumers. Marketing such meat tends to discourage the demand for mutton. From the producers' standpoint, there are several other advantages of trimming lambs. Wethers are quicker and gain faster, they are cleaner and give a more uniform and blocky appearance. Long tails interfere with the breeding of the ewes. Properliy <locked and castrated lambs show the farmer's pride in his flock. No farmer wants a bunch of long-tailed, nondescript ewes to advertise his tastes as a stockman. Both operations are simple and easily performed. A bright warm day is best for the work. Cleanliness is very important. Hands and equipment should be washed in an antiseptic solution such as bichloride of mercury or a o per cent soiution of Oarboiic acid. The knife or instrument should be placed in the solution after each operation. The helper should hold the iamb with its back against his body, holdins the front and hind lesr on one side with one hand and the other legs with the other hand. Another method is for the helper to hold the head and shoulders of the lamb between his legs and the hind legs with his hands. He should be sitting, especially is the last merhod is used. In castrating, the lower thira of the scrotum should be cut off with a sharp knife and the testicles removed one at a time. With large lambs the adhering cord should be scraped in two instead of pulled, in order to prevent excessive bleeding. After the skin is pulled toward the body the tail should be removed with sharp knife or other suitable instrument, leaving about an inch of the stub. After removing the tail the stub should be held for about one-half a minute to prevent excessive bleeding. Both the operations may be carried >n at the same time, castrating first. Lambs should be 7 to 14 days old. iVith lambs over a month old. the :hances of loss are greater, but there s not so much danger if operations ire done properly. In docking large ambs, if they bleed excessively a cord nay be tied around the stub for a "ew hours. With all the advantages of dock ng and castrating and thq ease of performance and small chance of loss, should there be a single lamb from ihis county go to the markets unLrimmed ? I do not think there should. Additional information may be obtained from Farmers Bulletin 1134, Castrating and Docking Lambs. This bulletin may be obtained from your Congressman free. Residents of the Boone School District may obtain help in carrying out this work and other jobs of similar nature} from the Department of vo:ational Agriculture, Boone High School. These services are free. What, makes it so hard to diagnose business these days is that it is nei:hcr as bad as its indictments nor as rood as its indices.?Norfolk Virginan-Pilot.
