Engineless Plane Attracts Crowds BANNER ELK There was a minor traffic jam on Highway 194 Sunday. The cause? An airplane with no engine. Finally familiar with regular aircraft flying in and out of the swank, new Carolina Caribbean Cor poration airport here, Av ery County people were momentarily puzzled by the soundless plane circl ing the area Sunday. It was the first of sev eral sailplanes the com pany has ordered to make a glider center part of the Beech Mountain residential resort activity. “No problems,’’ reported Chief Pilot Bob Fielden after his first flight. “Elk Valley is going to be a great spot for soaring.” The traffic bottleneck broke shortly after scores of people got their first look at the glider.

OVERMAN Hog Cholera: .Serious outbreaks of hog cholera are occurring in North Ca rolina. At the present time, there is none in our immediate area. All swine producers are urged to take steps to prevent chance of contamination. 1. Cut down on traffic. You wouldn’t want to take hog cholera to your neigh bor or have him bring it to you. Better not do too much visiting. 2. Feed dealers and oth ers that drive from one farm to another could be a source of infection. 3. Isolate any new hogs you purchase at least 21 days. Feed your hogs first, then feed those in isolation. 4. Disinfect shoes before going from one group of hogs to another. 5. 'Dd not feed garbage to hogs. This is one of the primary sources of infec tion. The few table scraps you have could prove ex pensive if they cost you hog cholera. 6. If you go to a live stock market, change your clothes and disinfect shoes before going back to care for your hogs. 7. Clean and disinfect truck after selling hogs. Trucks furnished by mar kets should be disinfected — - i fc—. x Polaroid Men’9 BIG SWINGER Timex Watch Land Camera $6.95 to $19.99 EJmlo*M.C. $12.95 Razor Set Picnic Tims ow spic* Electric Fan holds one gallon After Shave Lotion—sl.so 2-speed— safety guard $1.37 j Men’s Travel Kits $1.99 | $13.97 MEN'S MEN'S MEN'S BAMLON MEN'S Handkerchiefs Boxed Knit Shirts Neckties Handk’chiefs ASSORTED COLORS FOR DAD ... 8 IN PKG. «.«.

This will be up to each fanner to see that this i/ done before allow ing trade on premises. . 8. Don’t borrow or lend your boar. This is never a good idea and especially now, 9. Do report any sick hogs at once. The state and federal indemnity pro gram will help you if you have hog cholera. They won’t pay for pigs that die before they see them, how ever, so the sooner report ed the more any losses will be reduced. In order to eliminate hog cholera, it- will take the cooperation of every one. This is a very criti cal period for all hog pro ducers. Let’s work to gether and keep cholera out of this area. This ar ticle is in no way intended to cause undue alarm—just to point out that we have a situation which we must treat with clear thinking. Beef Cattle: Summer weather usually means that most of our pastures are producing very little new growth. There are several things you can do to help relieve this situa tion. First of all, rotate pastures frequently. Sec ondly, maintain adequate fertilization and control weeds by mowing. Os course, you should make use of summer pasture such as coastal bermuda if ; you have it _ In order to keep calves growing even when milk may drop off due to poor pasture, you can creep , feed them. A mixture of one-half corn and oats by volume is a good creep ra tion. Soybean oil meal may be added for addi tional protein (about 200 pounds per ton of grain). Creep feeding pays off in heavier calves to sell in the fall. One of the big tasks for any livestock producer is to keep his animals as com fortable as possible during hot summer months. Pro vide shade and be sure there is an adequate water supply. Feeder Calf Sale: Pro ducers who plan to sell < feeder calves this fall should complete a con signment form before July 1.
