No. 7 were visitors In Raleigh last week. We had breakfast with Melville Broughton, chairman of the North Carolina Highway Commission, and talked at length about the proposed road from Murphy to the Tennessee line. Broughton promised to have preliminary sur vey as to the best route and cost estimate made, he also promised to set up a meeting with himself and engineers from the State Highway Department, together with the chairman of the Tennes see Highway Commission and his staff.

Sterotyper Salesman Commercial Printer Which Industry Now Betters The Living of 2 Out Of 3 North Carolina Families? . . Here Are Some Surprising Facts About The Trading Stamp Industry So far, whenever our na tion's economy has needed expansion, a new industry has sprung up to help the untry go ahead. The automobile industry, employing millions, was fol lowed closely by the develop ment of radio and radio broadcasting to make more millions of jobs. Then came the airplane industry, air conditioning, plastics, tele vision, frozen foods, to change our lives some more. The trading stamp industry, while not new, belongs to this expansion group and has been one of the fastest grow ing of all. Today it directly benefits the living of the more than 2 out of 3 North Caro lina families who save trad ing stamps. Obviously, an industry af fecting such a large propor tion of North Carolina's pop ulation must bring far reaching benefits for North Carolina's economy. And it does. In 1957 the trading stamp industry bought $20, 731,000 worth of products from North Carolina's manu facturers. In one way or another, it provided employ ment for 1,985 North Caro lina people in many different industries. The people in the trading stamp industry, its merchan dise and redemption stores, its warehouses and transpor tation and all the activity that goes on within it are helping to develop North Carolina. Thus it seems plain that the trading stamp industry along with the 730,800 North Carolina women it serves has become, like other expansion industries, a living, vital part of our State's economy. ? * ? This message is published as pub lic information by The Sperry and Hutchinson Company, originator 63 years ago of S4H Green Stamps. By KENNETH PERRY Asst. Agricultural Agent "What's ahead In 1959 for the beef producers?" Is a question most beef men are asking. Accord ing to the Tarheel Farm Econom ists, cattle numbers are up slight ly. but prices on fed steers, as well as stockers and feeders, are expected to be about the same as in 1958. 1958 was a good year In that farmers buying cattle In 1957 took a price increase, as well as profit, on normal weight increases. Therefore, profits on feeder steer operations will be less in 1959 than in 1958 due to higher cost of replacement livestock. This means that the beef producer who gets the best gains on his steers will receive the most profit for his investment. There are several management tips that farmers can use to In crease gains on their livestock. One very important management practice Is to remove parasites, ference with Senator Kefauver re garding federal money to help pay part of the cost of this project. I arranged an interview with Gov. Hodges for Mr. Michaels and my self. We talked to the governor about this proposed road and In vited him, Informally, to the "Wagon Train" celebration on July 4 (perhaps we will look a little previous in this as Holland McSwaln and Jack Dickey will mall the governor a formal in vitation). Your senator had a nice visit with Ralph Moody, assistant at torney general, regarding some proposed legislation. As most of you know Ralph is from Murphy and is considered one of our state's most able lawyers and stu dent of law. We are all proud of Ralph and it was good to visit with him. Mrs. Cover, the lady from Chero kee, Lloyd, of Graham, Crawford, of Swain, Raby, of Macon, Her bert, of Clay and your senator attended a reception held for the members of legislature by the clergy of Raleigh; I never saw so many preachers in my life, but we had a grand time and enjoyed ,it very much. Light refreshments were served. Dr. Powell was there and said to be sure to remember him to Paul Hyatt and his other friends of Murphy. Going Visiting. Legislature took steps last week to make a few trips to faraway places between now and Spring. March 4 we ai'e going to Charlotte, the guest of the city, and hold the regular session of the day there.

A good parasite control program consists of both drenching with phenothla zene for Internal parasites and spraying with a good Insecticide for lice. Late winter feeding Is very Im portant In that steers should be gaining when they are turned on pasture. Good high quality legume hay Is very desirable, as well as grain, when plenty of home grown grain is available. A good start In the spring keeps steers gain ing. Profits seem better for cow-calf programs In 1959 than for steer operations, provided beef pro ducers can get heavy calves to market in the fall. Early calves dropped in December, January, and February will return more than calves dropped later in the year when they are sold in the fall. Calves that are creep fed will gain faster than calves that are not. Oood pasture for the cows and calves Is essential to a successful operation. There Is no substitute for plenty of forage In a cow-calf program. Oood quality hay will pay large dividends, as will silage, if the enterprlze is large enough. 1959 looks like a good year for beef producers: If they do an ef ficient Job of production. - THE SICK ...

C. State College. With one exception, the 1959 recommendations are the same as the recommendations for 1958 crops. The exception reads as follows: "For soils fumigated to control nematodes, the fertilizer for flue-cured tobacco should contain at least 25 per cent of the total nitrogen In the nitrate form." In previous years, it was be lieved that one form of nitrogen was good as another for tobacco. However, recent studies have shown that, where land has been fumigated, flue-cured tobacco. However, recent studies have shown that, where land has been fumigated, flue-cured tobacco needed at least one-fourth of Its nitrogen in nitrate form. By applying a portion of the | nitrogen in nitrate form, scien tlsts for the N. C. Agriculture Experiment Station have been able to increase tobacco yields by 10 to 20 per cent. The fertilizer recommendations for 1959 cover about every crop grown in North Carolina. They also include lawns and orna mentals. Are Your TIRES SAFE?

The North Carolina "legal control" system for the sale of alcoholic beverages has proven in the last 25 years that it works in the best interests of all the people ... it has also shown to have worked in the best interests of temperance and moderation, according to the latest statistics on alcoholic beverage consumption. North Carolina has the lowest per capita consumption of beer of any state in the union. ' v Any system that has such a record is deserving of the support of all the people, regardless of their personal convictions, because the alternative to "legal control" is prohibition ? or no control. , Prohibition not only fails in its intent and purpose, but it breeds crime and disrespect for the law. It fails to change the personal habits of anyone. It provides for no J _ " ; I effective control, which results in its demoralizing , ^ influences adversely affecting every law-abiding com ?? ? "V munity where it has been tried. That is why the progressive leadership in more and more localities is recognizing the fact that "legal control" is the best method of handling the sale of beer and ale ? that it works in the best ' i ?? ( interests of all the people, and of the communities where they live. That is why the advocates of the "legal control" system firmly believe it is deserving of your support. ; i Tfcalt (?o*UKd Institute y P. 0.
