Funds Asked For Swine Laboratory i Seek $30,000 Appropria-| tion For Construction And Operation The State Board of Agriculture, meeting in Raleigh August 9 and 10, voted to request the Advisory Budget Commission and the General Assem bly to authorize the establishment of a swine diagnostic laboratory in East ern North Carolina’s hog belt. George Kittrell, of Corapeake, Gates! county, submitted the proposal in be half of a committee appointed at an earlier board meeting. He said such a laboratory was needed to protect the East’s growing swine industry. Last year, he added. North Carolina produced over $60,000,000 worth of: hogs and 82 per cent of this produc-' tion was concentrated east of Raleigh.! The board voted to request the Ad- j visory Budget Commission to approve, an apnropriation of $30,000 for con struction and operation of the labora tory during the 1955-57 biennium. Of!' this amount approximately SIO,OOO would be set aside for building and equipping a suitable but simple lab oratory. and SIO,OOO a year would be provided for its operation. Employ-i ment of a veterinarian and laboratory technician is contemplated. Kittrell pointed out that swine are subject to a number of diseases which, are often difficult to diagnose with out laboratory facilities. It is impor tant, he added, that farmers have re liable diagnostic assistance to protect the industry against spread of swine infections and to protect themselves against “quacks who are always sell ing them some swine: medicine or vac cine that they don’t need.” Fall Color And Beauty Appearing In West Chilly mountain air has brought about the first color changes in west ern North Carolina’s tree-covered slopes, signaling the oncoming au tumn spectacle which annually at tracts thousands unto these.-hills.
