An interesting and revealing

piled at Franklin High School.

2. Number of students partici
patng in intramural games: boys
basketball, 55; girls basketball,
60.
(There Is an obvious lack of
intramural activity at FHS. The
main reason this occurs is the
lack of funds to carry on such
a program. The athletic program
is not able to support an in
tramural program at the present
time. If all students are to be
offered an opportunity to partici
pate in games and recreational
activities, the expenses should be
borne by local school funds.)

Fall Rains Can
Mean 'Foot Rot'
For Your Cows
Fall rains, coupled with muddy
pastures and barnyards, can mean
"foot rot" for cows, ? ,
R. L. Wynn, dairy specialist for
the N. C. Agricultural Extension
Service, explained that organisms
which cause foot rot In dairy
cattle live best in wet. muddy
places.
Infection often gets its start
from foot and hoof injuries caus
ed by wires, stones, or rough
places around the barnyard and
pasture.
"When a lairte cow Is noticed
in the herd," Mr. Wynn said,
"she should be checked immedi
ately for foot rot. Some symptoms
may be swelling and redness a
round the head* of the hoof, re
duced milk production, and a loss
of vigor."
For treatment, Mr. Wynn
recommends cleaning the infect
ed foot and washing it with a
disinfectant. If possible, let the
cow stand in a foot bath one or
two hours each day. Keep her in
a dry place until she recovers. A
solution of copper sulphate or
creolin is frequently used with
good results. For best precautions,
however. Mr. Wynn suggests call
ing a veterinarian.
The elimination of as many wet
areas around the pasture and feed
lot as possible Is one of the best
ways to prevent the disease, Mr.
Wynn concluded.
Hunting Roundup
Dear season Is coming up soon
Advance reports indicate the
sharpshooters will have a good
year with bucks.
Hunters report squirrels are >
abundant, but still hard to hit
Plenty for the hunter willing to
sit down and sweat 'em out.
Ruffled grouse reported in large
numbers all over Macon County
They're still winged lightning '
bolts and hard to bring down.
Grouse hunters are making bet
ter-than-average bags, however.
Quail: Plenty of the little
birds, but just hold off until the
season opens Thanksgiving.
Do Winter Cover
Crops Really
Check Erosion?
i
Are winter cover crops effective
in controlling erosion? Do they
provide the necessary cover to
keep the topsoil from washing
away? Do they pay?
According to H. V. Mangum,
of the state AJS.C. office, farmers
will have a good opportunity to
check on answers to these ques
tions in the next few weeks while
i/aAny fields are bare.
"Compare bare fields v.lth those
protected by a cover crop," Mr.
Mangum said. "Check the slit
deposits in the low places and
the water run-off. Remember the
soil carried away by the water
. is topsoil. which contains most
of the essential minerals and
humus."
While making the comparision.
farmers should consider the value
of cover crops as "green manure"
, when they are turned under.
Mr. Mangrum concluded by
urging farmers to go by their
! county A.S.C. office to check on
possible assistance in establishing
winter cover crops.
"There couldn't be a time when
. cover crops are more needed," he
said.
