Did you ever try to place a cash
value on beauty? How would you
value the fragrant odor of roses mix
ed with honeysuckle om a beautiful
June evening. Or, who can buy the
call of a Bobwhite as you work your
garden at the break of day while your
neighbors are still asleep and you and
nature have the world to yourselves?

Real estate men tell that well land
scaped homes will sell for an average
of 13 per cent more than homes not
landscaped. So any way you look at'
it, it pays to make your home attrac
tive.
John H. Harris, our Extension Hor
ticulturist, sends me a lot of good
suggestions each month. The Decem
ber copy included the poem “A Gar
dener Stops To Chat.” I enjoyed read
ing it so I pass it along to you.
“A Gardener Stops To Chat”
by Fred Lawton
I’m just a common gardener—guess I
don’t amount to much
I work at Plantin’ things for folk,
like trees and flowers and ■
such (
I’ve had the same wife forty years—
she seems contented, too.
Her brothers say I’m no success, but
she likes what I do.
They’re both high-up executives —they
are rich ’cause they’ve work
ed so hard
They tell my wife I fool too much
with roses in my yard.
Government Purchases
Os Beef Strengthening I
Nation’s Cattle Market
The federal government’s purchas
es of beef for domestic uses and ex
port, started last April, are designed
to strengthen the nation’s cattle mar
ket, according to C. W. Overman, Cho
wan County farm agent for the State
College Extension Service.
Mr. Overman says recent reports
show that the U. S. Department of
Agriculture will have purchased be
tween 220 and 225 million pounds of
beef by the year’s end. This is the
equivalent of more than 750,000 head
of cattle, according to the county
agent.
Sharp drops in cattle prices, which
started their downward trend two
years ago, are largely the result of
increased marketings from a record
national cattle herd of 94 million head.
Drought has complicated the situation
by stepping up marketings, particular
ly of lower-grade cattle, and reduc
ing the normal demand for animals
for high-finish feeding and herd re-

The bulk of the government’s beef
purchases are being distributed
through the school lunch program and
nonprofit institutions. About 18 mil
lion pounds were purchased by the
Foreign Operations Administration
for overseas distribution.
Because produced price problems
are greatest this year in the cheaper
grades of cattle, owning to prolonged
drought conditions, the government
contracts have called for commercial
and utility grade carcasses, with
greatest emphasis on cutter and can
ner grades

If I have an automobile accident,
must I report it to the Department of
Motor Vehicles?
S.P.—Oakdale
In most cases, yes. The Motor Ve
hicle Manual states you must make
a written report to DMV if you are 1
involved in an accident resulting in
death, injury or property damage in
the amount of SIOO or more. This re
port must be filed within 24 hoars af
ter the collision. This isn’t to be con- j
fused with another regulation which
requires you to notify immediately the 1
State Highway Patrol or local police
in the event of a wreck.
