1 Ccp Christmas Seal Qampaign
for County icfeiarted
Bonds, Seals To Be Mailed;
Glenn Carter Is
Chairman
The l'J.r)G Christmas Seal cam
paign to raise funds for the con
tinuing fight against tuberculosis
begins today, the 50th anniversa
ry of the first Seal Sale in 1907.
Glenn Carter, of Mars Hill, has
been named Madison County Drive
Chairman. Letters bearing bonds
and seals will be mailed tomorrow
and it is hoped that Madison
County citizens will donate liber
ally to this worthy cause.
Spencer Love, State Chairman
of the Christmas Seal drive and
chairman of the board of Burling
ton Industries, said funds are ur
gently needed to maintain and
increase the many services direct
ed toward detection of TB cases,
and to provide patient services.
He said the fight against TB
continues to gain ground, and that
progress made has Keen shared
by everyone.
"Sime the
Mi sold .r)0
first Christmas Seal
years ago, progress
made possible bv dollar
has
meant a saving of more than 7
million lives," he said. "Unfor
tunately, progress in preventing
TH from iia opening to people has
been relative. slight thus far."
lie said that cases are not be
ing found early enough to pre
vent the spread of TB from per
son to person. He urged all North
Carolinians to buy the Christmas
Seals they receive by mail as a
means of continuing the attack on
TB "until it ceases to be a threat
to the lives and homes of every
American."
Mr. Love stressed the impor-t
"ance of everyone over fifteen get
ting a chest X-ray once a year
.as an ttr 8iwvMfingB -tr-
lierj and of giving children a tu
berculin test. "These screening
techniques are necessary prevent
ive measures, vital to an effective
program of TB control," he ad
ded.
TB associations promote case
finding, health education, patient
service, and research programs.
The textile executive warned
that "we cannot afford to let up
in our efforts to defeat TB com
pletely. In North Carolina alone,
2,410 people were admitted to oui
State Sanatorium last year,
while a new case developed every
I'.s hours for a total of 1,950
new cases. There were 258 deaths
from TB in North Carolina last
year.
He pointed out that TB is pre
ventable, and that lives are be
ing saved today that could not
have been saved before drugs en
tered the treatment picture ten
years ago.

Teams Selected
Bow! Game Thanksgiving Day
Marshall, Mars Hill Players
To Represent County
In Annual Affair
!! 11 HOI! TERRELL
('Warn Sjwrts Editor
Two teams of 25 players each,
contrasting in depth according to
their coaches plans, were chosen
Monday night to meet in the sec
ond annual Senior All-Star Game
at Memorial Stadium in Asheville
on Thanksgiving.
The Buncombe County coaching
taff, composed of head coach
Vernon Kyker of Owen and as-"stant-;
Roy Phillips of Enka and
Red Stevens of North Buncombe,
leaned toward linement, choosing
17 men for the forward wall am'
only ight backfield men.
The Midwestern eleven, coached
by Brown Griffin of Clyde, who
wil be assisted by Clyde Peek of
Mars Hill and Bruce Jaynes of
Wavnesville, is composed of H
backs and 14 linemen.
The selection of the teams was
made entirely by the coaching
staffs. As a basis for their work,
the bowl coaches had lists of se
nior players who were recom
mended by their respective coach
es because of their outstanding
play this season.
The Midwestern eleven, com
posed of schools in Madison, Hen
derson, Transylvania," Haywood,
and McDowell counties, ran into
a disappointment right off the
bat when they learned that Hen
dersonville's big fullback, Bob El
liott, will be unavailable for the
game.
Elliott was one of the Midwest
ern staffs first choices but the
Henderson County bruiser was
forced to decline the invitation
because of a recent operation on
IrtsJeetK and a painful shoulder
injury that haa-vnot.. completely
healed. Elliott was contacted by

BURLEY FARMERS
SHOULD LEARN
HOW TO TRADE
Among the best traders in the
American society today are some
of our used auto dealers, stated
Harry G. Silver, county agent,
this week. He' continued that
many of the best used auto deal
ers are very honest men. They
simply present their product to
the buyer in the best condition
they know how. Many of their
automobiles would not appear at
tractive at all covered with road
scum, with a very dusty interior,
or dirty tires, or with one headj
light broken out. The dealer
spends time and money cleaning,
waxing, washing, tightening up,
adjusting, and tuning up. The
buyer sees the car at its best, it
is attractive, the engine sounds
good, it almost has the new smell.
The result is often a sale at a
profit.
No falsehood has been present
ed the buyer, but he sure pays
for the shine and luster.
Tobacco sells better with
best siide showing. The first
appearance of a two hundred bas
ket of tobacco may be worth $21 1.
Remember, if it looks good the
buyer only looks once!
How can a tobacco farmer give
his tobacco that new look?
Let's start with the "sand lug-,"
or flyings. Almost every tobacco
crop has a few badly damaged
flyings which are dark, damaged
and ragged. If these flyings were
put in a grade by themselves they
would probably grade an X."F
which was supported at $51.00
per hundred in 1955 and averag
ed selling for about $58.00 per
hundred. The -better flyings in
the same croip may be of bright
color,, say hjuff, and fine quality
indicating little damage. This to

Waynesville, blessed with se
niors, placed eight men on the
squad. Hendersonville placed 5,
Clyde and Mars Hill three each,
Brevard and Bethel two each, and
Old Fort and Marshall one eurh.
Nine of the Bunncorrlw Comity

CATTLEMEN ARE
WARNED ABOUT
TOO MANY STAGS
Farmers growing steer cattle,
who have produced or purchased
their calves, have a job which is
generally left until spring that
should be done now, states Harry
G. Silver, county agent.
Bull calves should be castrated
as soon as possible. It is easier
while they are small for the farm
er to do the job and the calf
makes a quicker recovery. You
will have less chance having a
stag next fall. Those small horns
make big ones; cut them off now.
Spring rains don't wash off the
lice; they only bring out the grass
and give the calf a fighting
chance. Just feed the calf and
kill the lice. You wouldn't like to
sleep with fleas all winter and
your calves don't like the lice
bedding on them, either. What
will get them? Methoxychloi , ' '
DDT as a dust, Kotenone-sulphur
dust or spray. As spray, use .V
une pound tn ten gallons of water,
as a dust use 75';; Lindane will
i .lese pests, also.
With one operation you can
castrate, dehorn, and spray or
ilu.it. for lice. When you get a
wai 111 day and no tobacco in
case, this will he a good fill-in
ii. Be prepared, purchase your
lice medicine, a good smear com
poundy -- Smear f2 is an excel
lent, one it stops flies. If you
are afraid of blood, stop by your
druggist and get a blood clot com
pound. Remember they are easi
er to drive into stocks than to
wrestle down; it's a little safer,
also.
Another reminder vaccina
tion for blackleg cost very little
and is very effective; so why not
vaccinate and be sure.
HAWKINS CITES
v EE PR ACTICESt
kilGIBILITr
Mr. Novile Hawkins, chairman
o the Madison Agricultural Sta
b l;ation and Conservation Com
mittee, advises that several im
portant noints under the Conser
vation Reserve are essential for
ra'-ni'T- who are planning to use
tree cover on their Conservation
Re-e-.-ve Ipnd.
He reminds farmers that in
1 where the Conservation Re
er to bp established in tree
cover the contract period is 10
veais. However, if seedlings are
i"' available the contract may be
extended, but in no case can it be
extended beyond 15 years.
If the entire Conservation Re
serve is planted in trees the mini
m'lin sTearp of land on a farm
which may be put into the Reserve
is 2 acres. If part of the Conserva
tion Reserve is planted to trees
and part is in other uses, the
minimum acreage is 5 acres, with
2 acres the minimum that may
be put in trees.
Chairman Hawkins reminds
farmers thai the basic Conserva
tion Reserve rule that no crop of
any kind shall be harvested from
the Reserve for any purpose dur
ing the period of the contract has
one exception: timber may be har
vested in accordance with sound
forestry management as determin
ed by the County Committee.
Hawkins reminds farmers that
they have until the end of No
vember to sign Conservation Re
serve contracts is 'be -effective in

LIONS CLUB TO
TREAT BLIND
FAMILIES AGAIN
The Marshall Lions Club will
again give a Christmas Basket to
families of blind people in Madi
son County, it was announced
here this week by George Shupe,
Lion President. The Lions Club
started this worthwhile project
last Christmas and the project
was highly successful and appre
ciated. Officials of the club announced
that four valuable prizes would
be given away in front of the
courthouse on Saturday, Decem
ber 22, valued at over $200.00.
The public is urged to help in
making this Christmas a happy
one for these handicapped fami

tion. FARM INCOME
INCREASED BY
USE OF LIME
l.ime can greatly increase a
farmer's net income, if he uses it
a-i recommended by the Soil Test
ing Laboratory of the North Car
olina Department of Agriculture,
says County Agent, Harry G. Sil
ver. Lime improves the efficiency
with which fertiliser is utilized.
Silver cited experiments carried
out by the North Carolina Experi
ment Station over a four-year pe
riod on very acid soil which re
ceived adequate phosphate and
pobash- producing 2,607 p)ounds
of ladino clover. When lime was
added along with .the phosphate
and potash the yield increased to
i.10.S pounds. Assuming a value
'if $30 per ton for dry ladino for
age, the increased yield was worth
$52.4-1 per acre.
Forage crops are not the only
ones which benefit from lime. In
another set of tests by the Ex
periment Station soybeans were
crown on an acid soil which re
ceived lime plus 100 pounds of
0 10 20. This resulted in a re
Uirn of $4.10 per dollar invested,
as contrasted with an average re
turn of only $2.04 per dollar in
vested in 400 pounds of 0-10-20
without lime. He' pointed out
that while lime and fertilizer are
only two of many management
practices in efficient crop produc
tion, they are of greatest import
ance and can also be very easily
controlled by the farmer.
Silver said it may not be de
sirable to add lime in some cases,
as the soil may not be sufficient
ly acid or the addition of lime
may encourage disease. For this
reason he suggests that farmers
have their soil tested. Soil test
ing is a free service to North
Carolina fanners. Information
about taking a sample, as well as
materials needed for sending sam
ples, can be obtained from the
county agent's office, or from the
local SCS, ASC or Vo-Ag teacher.
"Don't guess, have a soil test"
is a good rule for any farmer in
terested in obtaining the maxi
mum net income, Silver conclud
ed. Soil sample mailing boxes and
instruction sheets are atvalafcle
in the county ageafa office.
