Post Wins Fifth In State The local chapter of the Veter ans of Foreign Wars placed fifth throughout the state in community service and received its award at the state convention at City Audi torium in Asheville Friday. Members from the local chapter who made the trip to the con vention were Zeb Meadows. L. B. Welch, Howard Barnard, George Byrd, Norton Slagle, Paschal Nor ton, and John G. Murray. Mr. Meadows accepted the award for the post. The Ladies Auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign Wars repre sentative to the convention was Mrs. Howard Barnard. and for the Legislature continuing to be the balance of the power. These two factions had previously agreed on certain amendments and were in complete agreement on the floor of the Senate ? par ticularly so on the Courts Bill. On the Constitution Bill there was heated debate because of an amendment prohibiting any coun ty from having more than one Senator. Senator Warfen is the former United States Comptroller Gen eral, former Congressman, and one of the most able and respected Senators. Warren in his old-time oratorical phraseology reminded the senators of the actions of Patrick Henry and Thomas Jeffer son and dramatically presented his version of these two bills. This was history in the making, which i will rr.ean that maybe the Con stitution and Courts Reform Bills will be instruments and tools to be used by state government for the next century. To me this was real drama unfolded. As insignifi cant as I was in this dramatic moment, I shall never forget my small part in voting on these im portant matters. I voted for both of these bills. The controversial Appropri- j ations Bill will probably come up '? for a vote early next week. As 1 1 told you last week, this operating j budget was increased from $70,- 1 000,000 so that now the state operating budget for the next | biennium will run somewhere around $585,000,000. That's some j budget and North Carolina li&s come a long way in 20 years, but J then its citizens are always de manding more services and these | services really cost money. I feel j that in most cases North Carolina ] is getting its money's worth, toy . in the past 100 years there has j been on record for graft or mis-' appropriation in high office in ' North Carolina. We can look to j our sister states and find that j that is not true there, so every citizen can be justly proud to be | a North Carolinian and to live | and work in our great State. VISITORS ? Thursday, Mrs., Kate Shields. Mr. and Mrs. Ran dolph Shields and their son and j daughter. John Harold and Mary \ Alice, visited the Senate. John j and Mary Alice were made honor- 1 ary pages. Two gentlemen were visiting Raleigh from Macon County this week.

Best To Grow Them The best way for most Tar Heel dairymen, and those in Ma con County, to get quality calves is to grow them Farmers can usually raise their calves and grow them into cows cheaper than they can buy them says R. R. Rich, dairy specialist for the N. C Agricultural Exten sion Service. And in addition, they don't have to worry about disease that can be brought in with the purchased animals. The first thing in ralsini, heifers is to make sure they were sired by top-proven bulls, Mr. Rich said. Here are some additional things to remember in raising calves: Make certain that the calf gets some of the first milk from its mother, soon after it is born. Feed the calf its mother's milk for the first three days. When calf is two to three days old place it in an individual small, well-lighted, dry pen; free from drafts. Teach the calf to drink milk from a clean pail. The first week do not feed more than from six to eight pound;/ of milk. Then feed from seven to ten pounds daily until the calf is eating about one pound of calf starter each day. Then the calf can be weaned from the milk. Start feeding the calf good quality hay the second week. Keep a bucket of clean water before calf at all times. Never feed the calf over four pounds of the starter. When the calf is four months old, the starter can be changed to a good 16 per cent dairy ration. Make all feeding changes gradu ally over a period of six to seven days. After the calves are weaned from milk they can be grouped together in large pens, but be sure they are about the same age and size. Calves should be kept in these pens until they are nine to ten months of age. After ten months they should be put on good pasture where th<* herd has not been grazing. Never graze the calves with the herd oil account of parasites they will get from the cows. Don't forget the heifers when on pasture keep them growing with, good hay. silage and some grain. Keep salt and shade available and control flies. If dairymen Will follow thes< simple rules and do a good job. these heifers should come in the milking barn as two-year-olds an.l do well in production, Mr. Rich concluded. Dairymen Can Save Pasture For Later North Carolina dairymen would do well to save sdme of their lush, green pasture for later feeding. I They can do this, says R. L Wynn, dairy specialist for th ) N, C. Agricultural Extension Service, by fiUlnii iiio or two with grass silage. Not only is uood grafts silairr line for tail and winter Itedirm. says Mr. Wynn. but if a dairyman I bt'Kins feeding it when the pasture starts dryliiK up. a drop in milK production can often be prevented See your county agricultural agent. Mr. Wynn suggests, lor advice on storing good grass silagr. Don't let your pasture waste, he cautioned, save it. STAY SOUTH. YOUNG MAN! WHI RP.
