Senator Forsyth Mails
His Weekly Newsletter
Matters Of Interest To
The '33rd District
Senator W. Frank Forsyth
nfraenti the counties of Chero
kee. Clay, Macon, Swain, and
Graham, comprising the 33rd
District of North Carolina.
The problem of surpluses in
state government has always been
a real problem to legislators. New
Iiegislation was introduced calling
for a constitutional amendment
that would drastically restrict the
use of surpluses in the state
treasury. This proposal would
make it mandatory that 90% of
any existing surplus be used to
pay off state indebtedness, or
applied to reserve funds for
capital improvement, if there
should be no debt.
This far-reaching legislation
would be of real benefit to the
state and would, under ordinary
times, be right and proper. I
question the wisdom, however, of
making these surpluses limited or
restricted, for in bad times they
could be used for emergency pur
poses.
In any case, such a movement
would introduce a business method
to state government. Surpluses
are hard to keep, for in most
cases legislators and the people
clamor for their expenditure.
The Minimum Wage Bill passed
the House on Wednesday loaded
with amendments, and will prob
ably see some new amendments
added when it comes before the
Senate.
VISITORS? H. A. Mattox and
Holland McSwain.- of Murphy,
were in town on school business,
as was John Rufty, of Andrews.
Percy Ferebee came down for a
meeting at State College Friday.
Percy says that his committee is ,
having one hard time choosing a j
chancellor for State. The question [
is to get the best man possible,
and there isn't enough money.
SCHOOL CHILDREN? The lob-'
bies and galleries in both the I
House and the Senate have been
filled with school children for the
past several days. With the
weather opening up in Raleigh,
the capitol grounds are- perfectly
beautiful and the young men and
women of our schools are coming
to Raleigh to learn something
about their state government. I
think this is as it should be and
these young folks are certainly
welcome in the capitol building.
Everything is being done to make
their visits both entertaining and
educational.
With only one committee meet
ing at night this past week, your
senator was invited two or three
evenings for dinner with friends
in Raleigh. Certainly one ad
vantage of being in the Legislature
is that one meets so many nice
friendly people.
ROBERT SARNOFF ? Robert
Sarnoff, chariman of the board
of directors of the National Broad
casting Company, spoke to the
Senate Wednesday. Television and
movie cameras recorded the event
and the galleries and floor were,
crowded with visitors. Mr. Sarnoff
is a young man of just 40 years,
but be is doing a tremendous job
in the industry.
Your senator is just as far away
from you as a letter or a tele
phone call. Please let me know
when I can be of any help.

Why Gamble?
Yes, why gamble . . . when there's no chance of
winning? That's the kind of gambling you're involved
in when you drive your car beyond the recommended
period without having the oil changed.
Although you may use the very best motor oil,
such as Phillips 66 Trop- Artie*, there comes a time
when the accumulation of impurities in the oil
reduces its efficiency.
That's why lubrication experts say: the best motor
protection is to use the best motor oil, and change it
every 1,000 miles under average around-town driving
conditions.
Be sure to let your Phillips 66 Dealer change oil
for you on schedule.

The number of sheep in the
county is Increasing each year and
Irom all indications our sheep
enterprise will continue to grow
at even faster rates. In order to
assure ourselves that this increase
will continue we must do a good
job in managing our farm flock.
Before we get into management
of the breeding flock let's discuss
management of the lambs. We ail
know the lamb crop Is where we
realize the most income from
sheep. With this In mind It Is easy
to see that we must do a good Job
with our lambs. When lambs are
sold at public auction or lamb
pools the grade which is placed
on the Iamb Is determined by the
amount of finish that the lamb
has. This is where good manage
ment is very Important, it takes
rapid growth to make choice mar
ket lambs. The most Important
feed for a lamb Is plenty of milk.
In order to provide this milk sup
ply, the ewes must be fed and
managed properly. Besides provid
ing plenty of milk for the lambs
we also can creep feed the lambs
and increase the daily rate of gain
and this, in turn, puts the lambs
on the early market and the
earlier we can get our lambs to
market the better price we will
receive.
Proper management of the
breeding (lock can not be over
stressed. When we speak of proper
management this takes In both
summer and winter grazing and
feeding program and parasite con
trol program which is so import
ant during the grazing period.
Before the breeding flock is put on
pasture this spring they should be
drenched with phenothiazene. You
can buy this drench mixed or buy
the powder and mix your own. If
it Is mixed at home, use one
pound of phenothiazlne with two
quarts of water. Oive each mature
sheep four ounces of this mixture,
lambs under sixty pounds should
have two ounces. The breeding
flock should receive this drench
three times during the grazing
period and. In addition, they
should be drenched with Cu-mlc
(bluestone and Blackleaf 40) in
July to help control tapeworm.
Along with this you should keep
phenothiazlne and salt mixture
before them from May 1st until
cold weather, at the rate of one
part phenothiazlne to 10 to 12
parts of salt. This seems like a
lot of drenching, but In order to
have a healthy breeding flock It
is Important that we follow a
good parasite control program. By
keeping our flock free of parasites
our ewes will breed earlier and
be better milkers and this gives
better and bigger lamb crops.
Another management problem
that will soon be coming up is
shearing our breeding flock. It is
best to wait until we have a few
warm days before we shear our
sheep. This gives the yoke (body
oils) a chance to move up into the
wool. This makes the shear easier
and also, makes the wool weigh
more. If you are having trouble
with sheep ticks, the flock should
be sprayed three or four weeks
after shearing and again in the
fall, if needed. There are several
good materials on the market for
controlling sheep tick. If lindane
is used mix 1 >/2 pounds of 25%
wettable powder in 100 gallons of
[ water. If rotenone is used mix one
pound of 5 per cent rotenone in
100 gallons of water. If we follow
a better feeding and management
program our sheep industry in
Macon County will continue to
