FARM A WD HOME CONVENTION Over <500 men and women have registered for the N. C. State College Farm and Home Week August 25 to 29. Those who are interested / from this county should contact the county or1 home agents at once so that transportation can be arranged. If enough people want to attend, we will charter a bus and have a big trip. Those who will attend the Farm and Home Week program are pleased that they are to have the opportunity to hear such important people as General Dwight D. Eisenhower and Dorothy Thompson, world trave ler apd author of the daily news paper column "On the Record," who will be the guest speaker on the N. C. Federation Dap Pro gram on Thursday. Other speakers, who the farm people are greatly interested in, are Congressman Stephen Pace; J. B. Hutson, President of the Board of Directors for the To bacco Associates, Inc.; James E. Thigpen, assistant director to bacco branch of production and marketing administration, Wash ington, D. C.; Thomas J. Pearsall, speaker of the N. C. House of Representatives; Dr. T. B. Hutch inson, Dean of the School of Agriculture, Blacksburg, Va.; Dr. L. D. Baver, director of N. C. ex periment station, and Dean of the School of Agriculture at State College; and Mrs. Virginia S. Swain, extension specialist in family relations. There will be classes of vital interest to the women on Tues day and Wednesday mornings. This isn't all that is offered during this week at State Col lege. There will be exhibits and demonstrations, tours to places of historical interest in Raleigh, recreation, group singing, square dancing, and last but not least, seeing old friends and making new ones. ? LAMB POOL Wc will weigh up lambs at the North Wilkesboro railroad stock pens on Friday, August 8th. Graders will be at the scales from 8:00 o'clock until all lambs are graded and weighed. Checks will be written just as soon as proper calculations can be completed. Since there has been such a big difference between the price of choice lambs and the price of medium lambs, it will pay any fanner with plenty of grass and some grain to keep his thin ewe| and wether lambs until next pool. In the meantime they should be given a worm treat ment and put on good pasture and feed grain. Anyone desiring help with trucking problems should con tact us as soon as possible. ARTIFICIAL BREEDING A meeting will be held at the courthouse in Boone, at 2:00 p. m. Tuesday, August 12, to dis cuss the artificial breeding of dairy cows. I Mr. J. A. Arey, in charge of dairy extension, an other quali fied dairymen will be present to discuss artificial breeding. A bull bam has been built at Fairview, near Asheville, and if our farmers are sufficiently interest ed some workable arrangement can probably be reached with the company. It is our understanding that only proven bulls will be used. That will mean that a farmer can use a much better bull than he could afford to keep. The cost will be discussed at the meeting. Director I. O. Schaub sent us a special letter asking us to urge all dairymen to attend the meet ing and learn more about the pro posed program. This is your op portunity to learn about the arti ficial breeding program that is so popular in the dairy states. Come to the meeting to learn about artificial breeding whether or not you are now interested. DEMANDS NEW CAR PLUS " DAMAGES FOR WAITING Houston, Tex. ? A Houston man. tired of waiting for his new car, took drastic action by filing suit for delivery of a 1947 model and $1,500 damages for having to wait so long. Earl M. Futch said he ordered a new car on Oct. 15, 1945. He was told he was near the top of the list. Futch paid $100 toward his new car and later sold his old car to the dealer for $175 under its market value. Still no new car, so Futch went to court. He charged that people who got on the list after he did have already got their cars. BOLT TAKES SHIRT Philadelphia, Pa. ? While work ing on a road project, Anthony Perdicaro, 59, had the unpleasant experience of having a bolt of lighting rip the shirt off his back. Perdicaro was knocked uncons cious by the bolt, but was only slightly burned. Tobacco Crop Will Require a .Large? Amount of Labor If 'one ihan harvested, cured, andfcold North Carolina's 821,000 acres of flue-cured and burley tobacco which will be produced this year he would be rtnployed for more than ten thousand years. This may sound like a startl ing figure, but according to H. Brooks James in charge of ex tension farm management at State College, it is estimated that the labor required for har vesting and selling the crop amounts to over 21 million hours. Figured at 40 cents an hour, this labor would be valued at ap proximately eight and one-half million dollars, he said. "Yes, dad, mother, and all the children will be busy for a while, he said, "since the major portion of the labor will be pro vided by farmers and their fami lies, and more than half of the labor is required for barning and curing which must le done with in a few weeks time." Grading and selling may be spread over a longer period, he added, but this still means plenty of hard work. ALL BUT THE GROOM Hastings. Neb. ? The well planned wedding went on, just as planned. The church was beau tifully decorated, the organist played nuptial music, the soloist sang, the candles were lighted and the guests waited. Then the Rev.
