Peanut Association President Explains Plans For Growers Series of Educational Meetings Held In Va rious Parts of State C. S. Alexander, of Scotland President of the North Carolina Pea nut Growers Association, announced this week that educational meetings have been held in all major peanut producing counties during the past two weeks in preparation for the state-wide Peanut Referendum, which will be held on August 21k The North Carolina Peanut Grow ers Association has been authorized by the General Assembly to conduct the referendum, which will enable farmers to vote on the question of whether or not they should levy upon themselves an annual assessment of one-cent per hundred pounds of pea nuts marketed for a three year period, 1953, 1954 and 1955. The proceeds from the assessment would be turned over to the association by Commission er of Agriculture L. Y. Ballentine to be used to promote the interests of North Carolina peanut growers in all phases of production, marketing, pro cessing, consumption and research. This new organization would function in a similar manner to Tobacco Asso ciates, which leaf growers authorized in 1947 under the same law. Alexander said the meetings ex plaining the proposed peanut assess ment were highly successful, and com mended the educational work now be ing carried on by the county Farm Bureau organizations, the Extension Service, Production and Marketing Administration, Soil Conservation Ser vice, Vocational Agriculture teachers and the Farmer’s Home Administra tion. “The formation of the N. C. Peanut Growers Association was the result of a resolution passed at the last State Farm Bureau Convention, where dele gates decided that peanut producers should have an organization to pro mote their commodity under the same enabling legislation that tobacco growers have promoted the market ing of their product,” Alexander add ed. HEALTH FOR ALL NOISE IN THE NIGHT Millions of Americans suffer every night from an ailment they don’t have themselves. It is probably the only malady known to man that brings an guish to the non-afflicted, without in the least disturbing the afflicted, if that’s the right word for the estimat ed 20,000,000 Americans who snore. Audiometer readings of uninhibited snorers have gone as high as 40 deci bels, about equal to a noisy street comer in the business district. Al though doctors do not usually consider snoring a serious ailment, research shows that sounds of much less vol ume than 40 decibels increase the blood pressure and muscle tension of the nearest sleeDer. it is an ODen me nearest steeper, xl is an upcui ini a n£/nauu |2k9 Hfa' L 1 fy| * McCormick cotton pickers soon pay for themselves • .. / Many farmers report their McCormick cotton pickers slash harvesting costs one half or more!

Short of divorce, what can the suf fering victim do? First the doctor 1 should be consulted to find out wheth- I er there is any abnormal condition of the palatal tissues, nose, and throat passages which can be corrected. If [ this possibility is eliminated, the snor ing may be caused by too much smok ing or drinking, or overweight. In such cases, the snorer must cooperate fully, hard as it may be for him to make sacrifices to get rid of an ail ment which doesn’t bother him in the slightest. If minor surgery, antibiotics, and self-control fail to bring quiet to the tortured household, a small pillow un der the nape of the neck may turn the trick. If this fails, there are some 300 patented snore-preventing gad gets, from a rubber ball clipped to the snorer’s pajama tops to keep him ; from sleeping on his back to ear plugs i for the harrassed mate. I Farm Water Systems Need Good Planning , i : A carefully planned and efficient I water ystem can save work and spe^d ■ up farm operations in addition to add i ing to the comfort, safety and con -1 venience of farm living, says county I agent, C. W. Overman. Mr. Overman points out that it is • well to plan for increased consump -1 tion in estimating the amount of wa ' ter that a new or enlarged power sys- I tern will be called upon to furnish, since experience shows that farm ' families use more water when it is : ' easily available. It has also been ' demonstrated that animals gain ' weight more rapidly and milk cows . 1 produce more milk when they are 1 provided with plenty of water at all > times. Agricultural engineers estimate that ! water will be used at the following rate for each individual served: 50 gallons a day for each member of the 1 family; 35 gallons a day for each . [ milk cow; 12 gallons for each horse, dry cow, or beef cow; four gallons ’ for each hog; two gallons for each sheep; anl four gallons for each 100 i j chickens. j All potential needs or Ufv»s- should be considered in planning not only the capacity of the water system but the . location of pipelines, Mr. Overman says. Hours of labor each day can ’ be eliminated by piping rather than hauling water to livestock quarters. And a strategically located hose can prove invaluable for putting out fires in farm buildings.
