Lavender P. J. BEASON, Auctioneer THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, AUG. S, 1926 FARM WORK STOCK NOW ON DECLINE % Raleigh, August 2.—Work stock will soon bring a premium in North Carolina because few farmers in the state are raising their own animals and the supply grown by breeders is getting less and less each year. "A survey shows that old horses and mules have decreased 16.3 per cent in the last five years and young animals have decreased 52.8 per cent," says Louis W. Anderson, in an address before the Farmers State Convention. "At the present rate of at the present time. It would re quire 182 years to replace the mules, production it would require 66 years to replace the horses on the farm We are practicing false economy in depending on some one else to supply our work stock. Pretty soon, we shall pay dearly for our neglect." . Mr. Anderson is county agent in Perquimans county and knows of ac tual conditions on the farms. He believes that many mares could be s used in raising colts without inter fering with the regular work. Work stock should be regarded as a farm product, he states, and be produced at home. Better utilization of work .stock is also nacessary, he states. The stock should be kept busy, but not too busy. As a general rule, when the stock is not idle, it is worked too hard and a plan of crop rotation can be devised where the work can be better balanced throughout the year. An idle team is expensive but an over-worked team will not long re main an asset on any farm. "A lot of our teams get too much whip and not enough feed and cur ry comb," says Mr. Anderson. "Horses should have two ounces of ! salt daily but many are lucky to get 1 two ounces per month. Many stables i are cleaned only once or twice per year and the owner wonders why his mules have sore feet. Many animals suffer, too, from lack of clean, fresh watei\ There are many other de tails neglected in the care of our work stock which are essential to their efficiency." NOVEL CONTEST BY CHIMNEY ROCK MOUNTAINS Chimney Rock, August. 2.—Public interest in the closing of the Lake Lure dam within the next few days will be heightened by the announce ment just made here that a novel contest in connection with thi s event is planned, wherein a total of SSOO in prizes will be awarded. This contest, according to officials of Chimney Rock Mountains, Inc., developers of Lake Lure at Chimney Rock, will be based upon the length of time in days and hours it will re quire for the filling of the 1,500- acre lake. Answers must be received within six week s from the time the gates are actually closed. Owing to the irregular terrain, that forms a shore line of approximately 38 miles, definite cubic content figures are not available, the engineers assert. Stream fiow figures, however will soon be possible through the installa tion by the state of a modern stream guaging device in the Rocky Broad river at the lake head, from which periodical readings may be taken for the information of those interested. Owing to the different . character of the soil throughout the lake basin, seepage estimates are a matter of mere conjecture. The actual award ing of prizes wil be made when the lake level comes to within six inches of the maximum, the time at which the hydro-electric turbines may commence operation. Distribution of the prizes will be made on the basis of $5 gold pieces to the first 100 persons whose guesses or calculations come nearest the exact time it requires Lake Lure to fill.
