Burley Cards
Necessary At
Weed W eighing
Burley marketing cards must
be presented at the warehouse
again this year when the to
bacco is weighed in and placed
on the floor. This will enable
the warehouseman to record
the marketing card number on
the floor sheet.
The Watauga ASCS office will
mail marketing cards to all al
lotment farmers. The cards will
be mailed to reach farmers
prior to November 15. Price
! support will not be available
on any tobacco weighed in more
than 10 days prior to the open
ing of the market.
The "Burley Sale Promotion
Fund" will be continued for
1963. The warehouse will de
duct a fee of fity cents from
each farm. These funds are
used to promote the sale and
use of burley tobacco in the
United States and foreign
countries. Farmers will be ask
ed to sign a card at the ware
house indicating whether they
want to support the promotion
program or wish the fifty cents
refunded to them.
632 Calves Are
Sold At $66,000
In Annual Sale
Six hundred and thirty-two
calves were sold in the Boone
1963 Feeder Calf Sale October
23 for $66,162.90.
The 371 steer calves brought
an average of $116.00 per head
and 261 heifer calves brought
$86.0frp?r head. Sixty-five per
pant of the calves graded in the
top three grades. The steer
calves in these three grades av
raged weihging 40 pounds more
than the medium steers and
sold for an average of almost
$23.00 more per head.
The heifer calves in the top
three grades averaged weighing
about 37 pounds more per head
and sold for almost $16.00 more
per head than the heifer calves
that graded medium.
These grades and prices point
up the need for better breed
ing stock. Good cows and a
good bull that would add from
$16.00 to $23.00 per head to the
price of each calf sold would
pay for themselves in a year or
two.
