Dairy Farmers
Of Macon To Receive An
Increase In Payments
Dairy farmers in Macon coun
ty will have benefit of increas
ed payment rates for milk and
butterfat production payments
during the current quarter, be
ginning July 1, aaccording to
Robert Fulton, Chairman, Ma
con County AAA Committee.
These government payments
to milk and butterfat produc
ers are adjusted quarterly to
reflect changes in production
costs.
The new rates for this coun
ty for milk and butterfat pro
duction in July, August, and
September will be 75 cents per
hundred pounds for milk, and
13 cents per pound for butter
fat, Mr. Fulton said.
Rates for the quarter just
ended were 55 cents per hun
dred pounds for milk and 10
cents per pound for butterfat.
"Dairy farmers here are mak
ing every effort to increase milk
production," the chairman said.
"Higher payments for produc
tion during the current three
months period will help offset
the extra feed bills when pas
tures brown off during the
summer and more feed and
hay have to be fed to' main
tain production levels". i
The dairy production pay
ments. initiated in the fall of
1943, are made direct to pro
ducers by the Macon County
AAA Committee upon submis
sion of sufficient evidence of
production and sales, and are
designed to take care of the
increase in production costs
without raising the prices of
milk and milk products to con
sumers. Since started, the pro
gram has helped farmers push
milk output to record levels
without breaking the barriers
against inflation.
Applications for payments on
milk and butterfat production
during April, May, and June
should be filed as soon as pos
sible at the Macon County AAA
office, but not later than Aug
ust 31, 1945, Chairman Fulton
said. Sight drafts, negotiable
immediaately, are issued at the
time applications are filed by
producers.
Poult rymen Urged To
Prevent Bronchitis
Poultry producers in Wake and
other counties of North Caro
lina have reported the outbreak
of bronchitis in their flocks of
growing pullets, say specialists
of the State College Extension
service.
The disease is usually caused
by the lack of ventilation and
by the overcrowding of the birds
into the poultry houses, and
Extension specialists point out
that it is advisable for poultry
men to open up their poultry
houses during the hot summer
months and provide all the
fresh air possible for the grow
ing chickens.
George W. Wright of Raleigh,
Route 2, discovered that his leg
horn pullets caught colds, which
later settled in the bronchial
tubes causing bronchitis. The
reason for the disturbance was
the fact that the pullets be
came too warm during a cer
tain night because of the lack
of ventilation, Wright said.
The Raleigh poultryman went
to work immediately to remove
the causes of the disease, and
fortunately he did not k*>e any
of his birds. Wright has found
that the spraying of an inhai
ent over the heads of the chick
ens at night has aided a great
deal in relieving the situation.
State College poultry author
ities suggest that farmers check
their poultry houses to determ
ine whether sufficient ventila
tion is provided in order to
avoid excessive outbreaks of
bronchitis in their flocks. Fur
ther information about the dis
ease may be secured by writ
ing to the Department of Poul
try Science at State College.
? Large Peach Crop
Throughout Country
Peaches are plentiful in all
parts of the country. Commer
cially canned fruits will be
short this year and point values
probably high. Peaches offer fair
amounts of vitamin C and; in
addition, yellow peaches offer
vitamin A. Because they are
naturally sweet, peaches need
little sugar when canned.

Timely Farm Questions
Q. What has caused my hy
brid corn to show a striped ap
pearance on the blades?
A. You are evidently using
seed from the crop which you
grew last year and this should
not be done, says Dr. Emerson
Collins, in charge ol Extension
agronomy at State College. New
hybrid seed must be bought
each yea:.. The hybrid corn is
produced by a series of crosses
with definite parents. When the
seed are planted a second year,
they break down into al^ kinds
of combinations and yields are
not satisfactory.
Q. What should I do to keep
green moss from growing in my
yard?'
A. The presence of moss In
your yard indicates an acid soil,
a poor soil, or both conditions,
says Jolvn H. Harris, horticul
tural extension specialist. He
suggests that you send a sam
ple of your soil to the Soils
Department, N. C. State Depart
ment of Agriculture, Raleigh,

Q. How can I get rid of Ber
muda grass?
A. This grass, often called
joint or wire grass, cannot tol
erate continuous shade and It
can, therefore, be controlled by
planting close growing crops for
two years, says Dr. Roy Lov
vorn, in charge of forage crops
for the Agricultural Experiment
Station. Cowpeas, crotalaria, 'or
velvet beans can be grown dur
ing the summer .and a mixture
of small grain and vetch during
the winter. If the land is turn
ed rough in the fall, many roots
will freeze during the winter,
Q. Are there any prize awards
in the National 4-H Safety
Contest? 1
A. Yes, there are silver medals
to five winners in each county
and $25 War Bonds to the ten
top ranking county champions
in each state. National (4-H
Congress honors will be award
ed to the three highest rating
state champions in each of the

Q. How can cattle lice be
controlled?
A. A rotenone-sulpliur dip has
been giving good results, says
J. Myron Maxwell, Extension
entomologist at State College.
Where small numbers of ani
mals are involved, dust appli
cations of the rotenone-sulph
ur mixture are used. In some
sections of Western Carolina the
use of the dust has become so
general that shortages have
been reported. J
Q. Is penicillin effective in .
treating all types of livestock
diseases?
A. Like sulta drugs, pencillin
is effective against some types
of disease-producing germs, but
wholly useless against others,
says Dr. C. D. Grinnells, veter
inarian of the State College
Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion. Dr. Grinnells pointed out
that penicillin is of no value
against virus diseases such as
hog cholera and sleeping sick
ness and that many of its other
uses are in the experimental
stage. He suggested that a vet
erinarian be consulted before
the application of the drug.
Poultry feeds should be kept
dry during storage, because
molds develop rapidly in hot
weather, says C. F. Parrish,
poultry specialist of the State
College Extension service.

NOW IT CAN BE TOLD!
Remember those dark days in early
1942, when the Axis tide of conquest
was spreading over the world like a
plague? That was when the Trans
portation Corps of the War Depart
ment asked the Southern Railway
System to teach the fine art of rail
roading to American soldiers, who
would some day have the job of
operating military railroads in a dis
tant "theatre of operations."
The Southern's rails were already
beginning to hum with a record vol
ume of wartime traffic.
Nevertheless, a "school" was made
available for the soldier-railroaders,
without charge, on the 200-mile main
line of the Southern between New
Orleans and Meridian, Miss. Instruc
tion cars and other special facilities
were provided, and veteran Southern
officers and employes volunteered to
serve as "teachers."
On March 18, 1942, the training was
begun. And from that day to the end
of January, 1945, soldier-railroaders
worked alongside skilled Southern
officers and employes throughout this
200-mile long "school" ... on trains,
in shops and roundhouses... on tracks,
in offices and yards . . . learning to
work together as a team . . . learning
to railroad ?by railroading.
To date we have been privileged
to train, not only our own famous
Southern-sponsdred 727th Railway
Operating Battalion, but also three
other battalions and the personnel of
a replacement school ... in all, some
6,000 officers and men.
The record shows, too, that when
these soldier -railroaders graduated
from our "school" and went overseas,
they added brilliant new chapters to
the history of military railroading on
the battlefronts of World War IL
So, as these soldier-railroaders go
highballing down the mainline to final
Victory, it is with understandable
pride that we mention this extra war
job of the Southern Railway System
. . . now that it can be told.
