Travel is being recognized more and more as an enriching experience and as a vital part of one's education. Many sucn tours are sponsored by the state and national education associations. The state departments of educa tion in 38 states accept travel as a part of pr off ss tonal prepara tion /or certification. About thirty colleges, among them Yale and the University of Indiana, are known to give credit for directed trips. The better educators through out the world recognize the value of direct personal experi ences brought to the classroom by* the dyamic personality of an inspiring teacher. Mrs. Crawford expects to bring many enriching experiences to her third graders next September. Mrs. Crawford will be with the group directed by Mrs. Lucile Miller, former Dean of Women at Winthrop College. They will sail from Cherbourg, France, for home. UNEMPLOYMENT Robert C. Goodwin, Director of the Bureau of Employment Se curity, asserts that while Cen sus Bureau figures show a drop in unemployment of 151,000 in April to 3,016,000 current indica tions are that idleness in the next few months would exceed the average for the correspond ing months in 1948. The Census Bureau estimated April employ ment at 57,319,000 an increase of 172,000 over March. Major Decisions Are Facing Farmers Current crop estimates indicate that growers of some basic com modities may be called upon to vote in marketing quota refren dum? as required^ under current laws says Dwight Cable, chair man of the Watauga county agri cultural conservation committee. With this in prospect he points out that it is important for farm ers to have in mind that farmer* themselves through their elected committees administer these pro grams. He explains that acreage allotments on specified maior crops also may be established by order of the Secretary of Agri culture. A national allotment is established and this 'is broken down to State and county allot ments. The farmer elected coun ty committees then have the re sponsibility of setting up the al lotments for each farm. While acreage allotments may be established by order of the Secretary, marketing quotas to be put in effect must be approv ed by two-thirds of the farmers voting in a referendum. And If quota programs are approved, they also are administered by the local farmer-elected commit tees. These same committeemen are reaonsible for the Agriculture Conservation Program and for activities in connection with the Government price support pro grams for farm commodities As stated by Ralph S. Trigg, PMA Administrator, at a State PMA conference. "Farmer committeemen in re cent years have concentrated their efforts pretty largely on tho Agricultural Conservation Program. For this reason some people have forgotten how many different things the committee men do ? how vitally important they are in the administration of the over-all farm program. Per sonally, I am convinced that the PMA committees, as developed fromthe original AA committees, are the very heart of the entire administrative machinery for farm programs. Without them, I do not see how we could do an efficient job of program admini stration." Best Preacher Being Sought Raleigh ? Dou you have an es pecially good preacher, Or do you know someone else who does? If so, here's a chance to do that preacher a favor. The Progressive Farmer and the Rev. James W. Sells are sponsoring a contest to select the 14 best preachers in the South. Details of the contest are an nounced in the May issue of the magazine. One will be chosen from each of the following states: Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, West Vir ginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, Mis sissippi, Louisiana, Texas and Dairymen Advised To Prevent Bloat When hungry cattle graze on legume crops before these crops have reached the bloom stage, they will oftentimes bloat II iairymen keep cowi off legume grazing until these crops have reached the bloom stage, much potential milk from such graz ing will be lost. Every dairyman, therefore, faces the problem of how to graze these crops and still prevent bloat Fortunately, says A. C. Kimrey, extension dairyman at State College, this can be done. When a cow eats any kind of feed, Kimrey explains, a large quantity of gas forms in her sto mach. Normally this gas pres sure is relieved when fibrous feeds tickle the inner lining of the cow's stomach and cause belching. However, an empty grazing on sappy legumes fills her stomach with soft, slimy material which does not c a use the animal to belch. As a result gas, which is a normal by-product of digestion, accumulates In the stomach and causes bloat. Unless the animal is given prompt relief, she may die. If the legume pasture is about 50 per cent grass, most potential bioat will not happen, says Kim rey. Or, he adds, if a reasonable amount of good quality hay is fed to the cow before she is put out, she usually will not bloat. For this purpose, oat hay, Sudan or other good grass hay, as well as the various legume nays, will prove satisfactory. The hay must be palatable or the cow will not eat enough of it to do the job. Kimrey says that where prac ticable, a rack filled with good hay should be placed in the pas ture or adjacent to it. This prac tice will prevent may cases of bloat. If bloat does occur in spite of precautions, call a veterinarian, advises the extension dairyman. In the meantime, tie a stick in the cow's mouth and keep her walking as much as possible. Many dairymen are reporting favorable results from drenching the bloated animal with half a soft-drink bottle of either kero sene or mineral oil. RIVER BURNS Spruce Pine, N. C. ? Gasoline from a leaking pipe flowed into the Toe River where it was ignited.possibly by a lighted cig arette. Fire swept half a mile up stream. to ignite and destroy three storage tanks of gasoline and oil.
