A dog war den has been appointed, known as Rabies Control Officer. The statement enclosed is being wide ly distributed throughout the county to acquaint the general public with its responsibilities in carrying out this law. It is defi nitely understood that all parties concerned have a very definite responsibility; that is, the Board of County Commissioners, the Ra bies Control Officer, and the general public. Commissioners Act The County Commissioners au thorized the Health Department to provide adequate impounding facilities at the Williams Board ing Kennels on Western Boule vard. Any dog owner who has a dog or dogs and does not wish to list same for taxes and receive a certificate of ownership, may take his dog or dogs to the Williams Boarding Kennels on Western Boulevard and release them to the manager, who will take charge of them and will strictly carry out the agreement that the Health De partment has with the Williams Boarding Kennels. If it is impossi ble for the dog owner to take his dog or dogs to the Williams Boarding Kennels, if he will call the Rabies Control Officer, he will do ibis for him. Compliance Simple Therefore, it is a very simple matter for dog owners to com ply with this latest Rabies Control Law. They must do one of two things: first, list the dog for tax es or second, if they do not wish to do so, the dog can be impound ed at the Williams Boarding Ken nels. If the owners voluntarily list their dogs for taxes, they will be required to properly identify each dog by fastening a band about his neck. When the dog is vaccinated against Rabies, a tag will be se curely attached to the band which would identify the dog as having (Continued on Page 8) CHRISTMAS MANGERS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD Zebulon, N.

From the NOTES ABOUT SOIL CONSERVATION G. L. Winchester Although we have had some showers, the ground is still rea sonably dry. Much of the corn has already been harvested and some stalks have been cut with stalk cutters or disk harrows. Either one is fine. With these stalks on the ground they retard the flow of surface water, thus conserving both soil and moisture. The stalks being on the ground will decay much moxe quickly next summer and get out of the way of cultiva tion. Having the stalks cut and running over the grass in the rows with disk or stalk cutters will reduce the possibility of be ing burned off next spring. Any measures that will cause rain to soak into the ground should help increase ground water and thus increase the flow of springs and water in wells. Mow, cut, or get crop residues on the ground in any way. A light disking is satisfactory but keep this mulch of stalks, grass, weeds, or other crop residues on top or near the surface of the ground un til ready to prepare land for planting. Even then most of this material should be kept near the surface of the soil in order to pre vent erosion and act as a mulch in conserving moisture. DO NOT BURN. Contour planting and cutivation will help conserve that much needed moisture during the hot summer months. U. S. mills have consumed less wool this year than in 1950. • Louis Smith, the new farm man ager at the Woman’s Prison Farm, has called on the Soil Conserva tion Service to assist him in a conservation program. He has a real problem but he is starting now by constructing meadows, leveling old terraces, and con structing new ones that will have to carry the water a much short er distance than before. Contour cultivation will be practiced. Some lowlands will be drained for pas ture and crop. • Production of fresh vegetables this fall was about 10 per cent lower than a year earlier. ■',/ V 'mftA this crib containing statuettes that traveled half-way around the world from Europe.
