Board of Health
Meets
The Connty Board of Health
net March 30, 1944. Below will
be found part of report of Mr.
Wiley F. Mitchell, Secretary to
the Board:
Dr. Burt stated that under the
Jaw all dogs in Franklin County
must be vaccinated against ra
bies during the period of ninety
days beginning April 1, 1944.
Br. Burt states further, that it
is the duty of the County Health
Officer to appoint and designate
a sufficient number^of rabies in
spectors to carry out the provis
ions of the law. The Board was
Informed that Dr. W. R. Bass, a
graduate licensed veterinarian,
had been appointed rabies inspec
tor for Franklin County and that
he would arrange a schedule so
as to'" provide citizens In every
township opportunity to have
dogs vaccinated within the time
prescribed by law. Upon motion
of Dr. Perry, seconded by Dr.
Green, and duly carried, a regu
lation was adopted that all dogs
caught, not properly tagged, or
otherwise identified as having had
the rabies treatment, after the
expiration of the date prescribed
by law, will be held by the Sher
iff for a period of not more than
ten days during which time the
Sheriff shall notify the owner to
have the dog vaccinated by the
rabies inspector within three
days. If the owner of the dog
cannot be ascertained and noti-|
fled during a period of ten days,
the dog shall be killed by the
Sheriff. A minimum charge of.
$1.00 will be made for each dog
Impounded by the Sheriff, and an
additional charge of 50c per day
for each day after the first, the
proceeds to be placed in a spec
ial fund to defray the expenses
of feeding and caring for dogs
taken up. Owners refusing to
have dogs vaccinated will be pros
ecuted under the provisions of
law.
With good rotations and fer
tilizer, about as much corn can
be produced in one year as in
three years of continuous -corn
on the same land, tests of the Ag

Development of a good grazing
program for farm livestock re
quires an adequate acreage of
supplemental grazing crops as
well as permanent pastures, ac
cording to the District Supervis
ors of the Tar River Soil Conser
vation District.
On many farms good perma
nent pasture can be developed by
clearing shrubby growth from
idle lowland areas and seeding
the land to adapted grasses and
legumes. The clearing work can
be done during the winter months
or at times when it is too wet
to do other farm work.
Similarly areas of steep land
not suited to the production of
row crops can be planted to kud
zu or Bericea lespedeza, which
will provide a permanent source
of supplemental grazing and pre
vent overgrazing of the pasture.
The sericea will furnish early
spring grazing and the kudzu can
be used to relieve permanent pas
tures during the late summer and
fall drought^. This will Increase
the carrying capacity of the regu
lar pasture and lengthen the
grazing season.
Farmers who have developed
pasture and perennial hay on
such areas, nnsuited to the pro
duction of other crops, are now
cashing in on increased produc
tion of milk and meat needed in
the war effort, say the District
Supervisors, without reducing the
amount of land needed for other
war crops.
John O. Wilson, Loulsburg,
Route 4, has three acres of win
ter peas that he is planning to
turn under as soon as the weath
er permits. Mr. Wilson seeded
the peas early and now has a
growth of twelve to fifteen inches
over the entire field which should
provide plenty of nitrogen, when
turned, for the cotton crop to
follow.

North Carolina Hereford Breed
ers Association held its annual
show and sale at Statesvllle, N.
C., on April 13 and 14, 1944.
Hereford Breeders from the en
tire State were selected to con
sign animals to this show and
sale, the outstanding Hereford
event of the year.
The top female animal bred
and consigned by Morrocrost of
Charlotte, sold for $1,600.00. The
top bull consigned by Roy Hay
nes, of Clyde, N. C., sold for
$1,000.00. The average of the
sale for the fourteen bulls and
forty-five heifers was safely above
$500.00 each.
Franklin County was credita
bly represented for the first time
in the State Sale by Mr. John
Morris of Harris township. Mr.
Morris consigned one heifer and
one bull from his fastly develop
ing pure bred herd. The animals
shown together as bull and heifer
placed fifth in the State of Sorth
Carolina.
A number of Franklin County
farmers among which Mr. Morris
is a pioneer have become inter
ested in the breeding and feed
ing of beef cattle during the past
several ^ears.
The Franklin County Extension
Service is of the definite opinion
that the breeding and feeding of
small herds of beef cattle In this
County has Its place both from
the stand point of a balanced ag
ricultural program and also from
the standpoint of a profitable en
ter prise. To this end a great
deal of time and effort is being
devoted to stimulating interest

A dog story with
a happy ending
Lem Martin's dog went on a
rampage last week. ..killed four
of Ed Carey's best hens.
Naturally, Ed was pretty mad.
Went around vowing he was go
ing to get his shotgun and blow
the blazes out of Lem's dog when
he saw him. And Lem says, "Let
him try it and J'll blow the blazes
out of htm. Ought to keep his
chickens locked up, anyhow."
Bat Ed and Lem are really
mighty sensible fellows. And
the whole thing was settled
when Lem Invited Ed over for a
glass of beer, and they sat aronnd
chatting over the quarrel m It It
were a kind of Joke.
"Shucks," says Ed, "the*
hens didn't amount to much no
how." And Lem says: "Just the
same I'm bringin' you a barrel
o' apples to pay for 'em."
From where I sit, It would be
a lot better for the world If folks
would settle their arguments
peaceful-like? sitting around
over a friendly glass of beer?
instead of going off half-cocked,
and making mountains out ef
molehills.

War is a long way from North Carolina
? but in so many ways if a mighty close
to us. Our men are fighting all over the
world ? our factories and farms are
producing an endless stream of supplies
our troops depend upon. But even that
isn't all ? it wouldn't be enough!
We have so much more to do right
here in North Carolina ? jobs that are
up to all of us, jobs that must be well
done. In the 4th War Bond Drive, for
instance, North Carolinians bought
$172,000,000 worth ? 37% above our
quota ? but we're keeping right on buy
ing more and morel We've gladly given
, our money to the Red Cross ? and hun
dreds of thousands of hours of our time
to making surgical dressings and kits for
our men overseas.
?
We've supported and worked for the
U.S.O. and various war relief groups.
We've built and maintained an efficient
Civilian Defense organization. We've
collected scrap and rubber, tin and fats.
Whatever has been asked, North Caro
lina has done ? and then some!
The men and women of the Greyh- .
Lines* like their fcllow-citizens of Kortb
Carolina, have shared in all of thr-se
activities. They've also shared in the
vital job of moving wartime manpower
?in uniform or in work clothes. On
special occasions they've transported
U.S.O. Camp Shows and brought part
ners to camp dances. Greyhound buses
? by making near neighbor* and good
neighbors of all the communities they
serve in this State ? by linking cities,
war plants, farm centers, and military
? ??-?-! ?nd bases ? are helping to keep
North Carolina's war efforts rolling to
