PUREBRED CHAROLAIS. ? Herd bull on the Henry Taylor farm at Valle Crucia shortly after hi? arrival from Pennsylvania. Thought to be the second pure bed herd In North Carolina of this type, the Charolais has been raised in Fiance for more than 200 year*, and were used as beasts of burden, for milking, and fur meat This bull Is six years old * New Breed Cattle Secured By Farm For Herd Improvement With the arrival last Satuiday if five head of purebred C'harolais cattle to the farm of Henry Taylor at Valle Crucis, one of the first herd of this kind in North Caro lina has been started These pure bred animals came to Valle Crucis from the Turkey Ridge farm at Portland, Pa Mr Taylor has one six year old bull, two cows with calves, one a heifer calf and the other a bull He plans to increase the purebred animals in this herd and also to use the bull to breed to his Here ford females The C'harolais originated in France about 200 years ago. Be ing large and strong, the cattle have been used as beasts of burden, for beef and to supply milk for small family farms in France Since they have lived in close as sociation with people for 200 years they are much more gentle and docil * when compared to some ot the other breeds The Charohis were imported to Mexico about 30 years ago by the French ambassador to Mexico. As of January of this year there were only about 3..VK) purebred C'harolais in the United States. Mr. Taylor says that the average weaning weight is about 20% or more higher than other beef breeds, and that they are very re sistant to many of the diseases, such as pink eye, cancer eye and udder trouble. Mature C'harolais cows weigh up to 1.800 pounds, and bulls top 2,800 pounds it is understood that there ar^ some herds in the area that have Cha rolais blood in them, but thai no pureb'eds except Mr Taylor's are in the area Herds mixed with the breed include both milk and meat type animals, and literature concerning the Charolais states that the Charolais strain shows up well in mixed breeds Because many small farms in France had their stables close to' or connected to the house, the Charolais has become very do mesticated They have developed into good foragers because of scarce feeding periods, and are said to adjust to climates similar to that of this area, as well as | climates peculiar to Mexico and j France.

PL 4 9.171 Likes Tribute Dear Mr. Rivers: Another wonderful contribution has been placed in my acrapbook when you took your pen and let your mind travel down memory's lane, to gather the merits and feats of Mr Watt Gragg. I wonder if you realized that you were set ting an example for the whole world. Having know you and Mr Gragg most of my life, I don't know where the donkey would feel more welcome or the elephant would have gotten more peanuts but if our nation today would lay differ ences on the shelf and see a man for what he really is we would not have to tolerate the mud slinging, bigotry and falsehoods of today. I wonder too. Mr Rivers if you realize that you are writing the epitaph of yourself as you pay tri bute to the devout citizens of Wa tauga County. ANN ABLE 502 Pratt St.. Fredericksburg.
