HAMILTON, County Agent 903 LAMBS SOLD IN POOL Ninety-three farmers sold 903 lambs through the lamb pool Fri day, Aug. 10. Over two-thirds of the lambs graded choice and good. The prices were as follows: Choice ewes and wethers $14.23 Choice bucks 13.25 Good ewes and wethers 13.29 Good bucks 12 25 Medium ewes and wethers.. . 11.75 Medium bucks 10.75 Farmers will also collect the sub sidy on these lambs which is $2.15 per hundred for lambs over 90 pounds and $1.50 per hundred for lambs from 65 to 90 pounds. Farmers have sold 1,514 lambs through pools this year. The next pool will be held on Friday, Aug. 31. Since there is a subsidy on lambs and sheep, farmers should sell their lambs through the proper channel if they expect to collect the subsidy. If sheepmen want to collect this sub sidy, and everyone should want the extra money, they should sell their lambs and fat sheep to a licensed slaughterer. A number of farmers have been selling their lambs to livestock dealers and losing the sub sidy. It is up to each farmer who sells lambs to watch where he sells in order to receive the subsidy. All lambs that are sold through the lamb pool will qualify for the subsidy. All lambs that are sold at an auction market where a packer buyer purchases the lambs are eligi ble for the subsidy. If a livestock dealer buys the lambs in an auction market, the farmer cannot collect the subsidy. Subsidy payments are as follows: For lambs over 90 pounds, $2.15 per hundredweight; for lambs from 65 to 90 pounds, $1.50; for all other lambs and sheep, $1 per hundred weight. This information is given so that everyone might have a better un derstanding about the subsidy. Time Is Short For Seeding Pastures Glutted markets for eggs and poultry in North Carolina were the rule rather than the exception be fore the war. While these gluts were seasonal in nature, still their existence and per sistence for a period of years indicat ed a great need for the development of a marketing program on a state wide basis to prevent such gluts. Prof. Roy Dearstyne of State Col lege says that to a certain extent North Carolina producers have lost their local markets because many chain stores are selling eggs pro duced outside the state. This has been largely due to the fact that the great majority of poultry products produced in North Carolina is by small units, and also facilities for collection, grading and storage of the products are not adequate. "If an orderly progress is to be made in the future, the situation must be attacked in a vigorous manner," Dearstyne suggests. "Group action on the part of producers seems to offer at least a partial solu tion to the problem. It is very likely that there will be more di rect marketing in the future than in the past, with the curb market play ing an important part in this move ment. "The producers themselves have bden extremely lax, for the most part, not only in their efforts to pro duce a quality product but also in the proper care of this product from the time of production until it finds its way onto the market. The large producer eventually will be forced to candle and grade eggs, if markets are to be retained and built up. This situation will likewise be reflected to some extent to the smaller pro ducer. The consuming public is be coming 'quality conscious' and will be more exacting in the future than 4t present. \ NOTICS^F ADMINISTRATION I Having qualified as administratrix c* the estate of J. M.
