AMENDMENT PERMITS; HUNTERS TO USE PARKWAY > Under an amendment to the Na tional Park Service rules and reg ulations hunters are permitted to make limited use of the Blue Ridge Parkway in conjunction with hunts for bear and deer on adjacent land it was announced today by Super intendent Sam F. Weems. In mak ing the announcement Mr. Weems emphasized, however, that the Blue Ridge Parkway like all areas with in the National Park Service is a sanctuary for all types of wildlife and that hunting of any kind is prohibited within the boundaries of the Parkway. For the information of all hunt ers the special amendment reads as follows: "During the hunting season, hunters may, under permits issued by the Superintendent of the Blue Ridpe Parkway, park vehicles in designated parking areas and and cross the parkway lands from and to their vehicles with dogs on leash, firearms with breech or chamber open, and game lawfully killed on lands adjacent to the Blue Ridge Parkway." Two parking areas along the North Carolina portion of the Park way have been designated for this use. These are Singe Cat and Ridge Junction. For the convenience of the hunters, the Superintendent has arranged for District Ranger C. C. Gaynard, Box 146, RFD 1, Spruce Pine, North Carolina, to issue per mits. Each hunter using a parking area must have a permit. In each of the designated park ing areas a sign indicating its name is erected so that there will be no difficulty in identifying the area in which the hunters cars may be park ed. In making application for a per mit, the hunter, in addition to list ing his name and address, should include the make, model, year, and license number of the vehicle to be driven and the particular parking area or areas desired to be used. State College Answers Farm Questions Question: Is consumption of poultry meat increasing or de creasing in the United States? Answer: W. G. Andrews, exten sion poultry specialist at State Col lege, says consumption is increas ing. During 1949, he says, the aver age American will eat about 25.2 pounds of poultry meat as compar ed with an average of 17.9 pounds during the years 1935-39. Poultry men believe that consumption may rise as high as 40 pounds by 1960. Turkey meat is also appearing on the family menu more often. For the 1935-39 period 2M> pounds was the average amount of turkey meat eaten per person. In 1949 the av erage will be 4.5 pounds, with a 1960 goal of eight pounds per per son. Mr. Andrews also points out that about 55,000 births occur in the world every day, and there is an (ever-increasing need for more food. He expects the demand for poultry products to remain good for many years to come. > Question: What is multiple crop insurance? Answer: It is a plan whereby a farmer may obtain protection of his investment in more than one crop on the same farm. Like the single-crop plan, it covers only the growers actual investment in his crop, and coverage and rates are based on areas of similar productiv ity and risk, not on individual farms. County committees screen out poor risks—irresponsible farm ers or those who follow poor prac tices. Except for tobacco, where NOTICE North Carolina McDowell County In The Superior Court. OPAL C.

MOTHER I looked at an old faded photo The curls were clustered tight The features were young and beautiful The eyes beamed with youthful light. I looked at another picture A madonna one might say i A little girl was kneeling by it Kneeling there to pray. , | And still another picture With features that once were fair; ; With faded cheeks and eyes grown dim i And glistening snow-white hair. i ; ; I saw beyond that picture ! I saw a mother's love Born of the glory of Heaven Born of the Angels above. —Annie Burgin Hemphill. COST OF FARM SUPPORT The Government is predicting that it will cost about $820,000,000 to support farm prices during a two-year period ending June 30, 1951. By cost is m#ant the amount of money the Government will lose on surplus products which it will buy at support price levels and sell or dispose of at lower prices. The period covers largely the 1949 and 1950 farm crops. CONSERVATION NEWS By L. B. HAIRR Guy Little of Providcnce comimi- i nity reports that his pasture that was seeded this fall is looking fine. "I have learned this fall how to pre pare a seedbed for grass and clover on sloping land," Mr. Little pointed out recently. He said to rip the area on the contour with a soil ripper then finish the seedbed preparation with the disc. This breaks up the sub-soil and at the same time it leaves the top soil on the surface with the organic material. A seed bed prepared in this manner will absorb rain like a sponge and re duce the run off and erosion, ac cording to Mr. Little. B. E. Allison of Crooked Creek RELIEF AT LAST ForYour COUGH Creomulsion relieves promptly becaus* it goes right to the seat of the trouble to help loosen and expel germ laden phlegm and aid nature to soothe and heal raw, tender, inflamed bronchial mucous membranes. Tell your druggist to sell you a bottle of Creomulsion with the understanding you must like the way it quickly allays the cough or you are to have your money back. CREOMULSION for Coughs,ChestColds, Bronchitis has found that it pays to keep his apple orchard sowed in cover crops. Even though we had heavy rains this summer and fall, there was lit tle soil erosion in Mr. Allison's or chard. The thick sod of grass and lespedeza held the water back and allowed it to soak into the ground. This prevented the soil from wash ing, Mr. Allison pointed out. Treating the area is only a part of a complete soil and water con servation plan Mr. Allison is fol lowing on his farm in -cooperation with (he Catawba Soil Conservation District. GRATIFYING !
