Western Carolina Did Well For United Fund ' It. I Figure* have keen released by ^arollnu United which indicate Jut the Western North Carolina -egion was one of the most suc :eskful in the Southeast In Us Jnited Fund campaigns during the >aat year. The Watauga United Fund, joining the campaign for he first time, was one of thirty it* groups in the region which >aid Its budgeted agencies 100% if the amount allotted to them. The figure for one nation-wide tgency indicate that in four prev ous years of a separate campaign, he organization had never met itk luota for Watauga County. Be ween 1992 and 1955, it .attempted o raise $11,062 in the county, but he local committees got together inly 17,021, or 63% of the quota, n 1956 the agency Joined the Unit id Fund and reached 100% of its luota for the first time. For the whole of the Carolina! he results of the United cam >aigns were in line with the re ults in the Watauga section. North Carolina groups raised 101.7% of he amounts set for all campaigns, vhile South Carolina raised 02.4%. A typical agency reports that rhere it runs independent cam laigns it has raised only 88% of ts quotas, whereas in Class II nd Class III United Fund cam laigns it has made its objectives y 101.4%. According to the figures a few Jnited campaigns miss their goals, iut never by a figure as low as be independent drives cited above. >ften when a campaign missed its Dtal by a slight amount, there is reserve from past years or kome ther resource which permits the Deal fund to pay all budgeted gencies in full. Only two cam 'aigns, in very small communi ies, failed to live up to this obli gatioo in western North Carolina last year The consistent high success of United campaigns has paralleled a gnat increase in the total amounts raised in all campaign* in the tiro Carolines. In the fall of 1092 the bi-atate total waa (4,530,488. In 1696 it had been increased to 9B, 538,878. The United campaigns in the two Carolinaa are there fore bringing in 96.8% more now than they did five years a*o. A local official of the Watauga County United Fund declared that these figures indicate that the "United way" has become the proved and accepted method of handling the problem of funds for social welfare needs.. Sheep Growers Slate Officers The Wstauga County sheep pro ducers met in the courthouse |n Boone on Thursday afternoon, February 21, and elected the fol lowing officers: Dwight Cable for one year; A. W. Greene for two years; M. D. Brown for three years. The producers voted to ask the committee to meet with the com mittees from Avery, Ashe, and Al leghany counties to try to work out pool dates on a weekly or once each two weeks basis, and authorized them to arrange a schedule if a plan could be worked out. The annual report shows that a total of 1,628 lambs and 26 sheep were marketed though the Boone pool in 1996. 73.2% of the lambs graded good and choice. A total of 28,800 lbs. of wool went through the wool pool, and 09% of the wool graded clear and brought the top price of 91c per pound. Many Factors In Timber Sales Many variable element* are In volved fie timber ulea. Theae "variables" are bound to Influence prices, (o dont become upset U your timber brings more or lias thaq your neighbor's, advises Jim Andersen, extension forestry spec ialist at State College. . Andersen says timber prices are. baaed oa the prices loggers and millers receive for their products, and therefore if the average price paid for "run of the woods" pine logs delivered at the mill is $99 per thousand, the logger must con sider the "variables" involved and offer a stumpage price on that basis. The price offered should be com petitive, Andersen says,, but it must be low enough to allow the logger to do the job at a profit "He must consider logging con ditions, how "wet-natured" the land may be, the distance of the truck-haul, cost of labor, and vol ume of wood obtainable from each acre—in addition to a number of secondary factors," Andersen de clares. According to Andersen, the tlm bej owner who seeks "top dollar" alone is in for trouble. "A logger cannot do a good job—he cannot leave the woods in a productive condition—if he gets 'pushed' too far prico-wise," says the forestry specialist Price, when considered by Itself, is no criteria for successful timber sals, says Andersen. "Dealing with reputable people is much more im portant," he states. Andersen advises when in doubt as to the value of your timber, contact the State Forest Service representative nearest you or your county agent If you cannot do this, the next best thing to do is get as many reputable buyers as possible to bid on your timber, Andersen declares.

Seventeen per cent preferred religious films, with "Friendly Persuasion," "A Man Called ePetr er," and "Going My Way" mainly cited. About IS per cent liked edu cational films. Prices, the poll revealed, is a chief deterent to theatre attend ance by large families. Many per sons suggested a family rate for the early part of the week. Preference for a single feature, coupled with selective short* and a newsreel was almost unanimous. Women poll respondents also felt there should be Saturday matinees suitable for children under 12 years. A suggestion made was for substitution of a film from the MPAA's children's film library where the regular feature was found unsuitable. The ladies, who said that after a full day at home, watching a movie on TV is not as relaxing as seeing one in a theatre, seemed agreed that if the fare suited them they would go back to movies gladly.

I : !t<81 ' '■ « > i Bread Called Staff Of life Bread 1* called Um "staff of life" because man can grow and store (rains easily. He eaa turn the grains by simple processes into convenient, inexpensive breads. According to Ruby P. Hale, ex tension consumer marketing spec ialist at State College, the term "bread" refers to white bread of white flour. Other kinds of bread hav% a descriptive title preceding the term "bread" such as rye, Whole wheat, or raisin. Here are some of the varieties of bread and their descriptions: White bread contains flour, liquid, salt and yeast plus certain optional ingredients. Enriched white, raisin or end ed wheat contain the same ss reg ular types with added thiamine, riboflavin, niacin and Iron. French, Italian, and, Vienna breeds have high protein flour, water instead of milk, and a thick, crisp crust Raialn bread must contain 90 pounds of raisins to every 100 pounds of flour. Cracked wheat identifies bread that has part white flour and part crushed whest flour. In whole whest bread, 100 per cent wheat grain Is used in the flour. American rye bread is light, mild flavored, containing rye flour, whereas Pumpernickel is rye bread with a sour flavop and is dark and compact. Potato bread is about six per cent potati flour and M per cent wheat flour. In addition to these basic breads, many bakery shops sell fresh breads and rolls of unusual flavors, such as poppy, caraway, or aesame seed breads^ Most msrkets also carry canned bread such as brown bread or date nut bread. These all cost more, but you may prefer them for special occasions. Shoe trees ire shoe savers.

Small Grain Is Ready To Treat Host small grain fields are ready for weed control treatment, accord ing to W. G Westmoreland, exten sion agronomy,specialist at State College. Westmoreland says that the grain should be fully tillered or "•tooled," but these stems should not have joints in them. He warna that treating too early or too late almost always results in lowered yields since small grain tolerates 2, 4-D best at this late winter stage of growth. Chemical treatement with % pound 2,4-D amine salt per acre, which costs about 80 tents, will give good control of such common weeds as ragged robin, vetch, mus tard', blessed thistle, and wild but tercup, says Westmoreland. Westmoreland points out that where dock and corn cockle are problems, 3-4 pound of 2,4-D amine salt is required. The 2,4-D should be applied with a weed sprayer and is as much a good practice as using a nitrogen material for top dressing, he declares. Wild garlic or "onions" can also be controlled through the timely use of 2,4-D and a high rate of nitrogen topdressing, Westmore land declares. Westmoreland pointed out that 2,4-D for small grain weed control is a fairly new practice and that county agenta and other agricul tural workers can give complete information on this problem.
