' SILAGE AS A - PASTURE SAVER Don Wild and Herbert Wild are firm believers in plenty of silage. Both Don and Herbert have each fed silage to over twenty head of beef steers and cows. They both agree that silage will carry more cattle than any other feed that they can raise. Herber and Don have fed silage throughout the winter and have brought their beef animals through in excellent condition. The Wild's grew sufficient si lage to, not only carry them, through the winter, but to carry them through the first few weeks of spring. As Don puts it, 'We have enough silage so that we do not have to move our 'cattle to summer pasture before the pas tures get a good start." 26 members ' of ; the Marshall Chamber of Commerce met at a luncheon-meeting Tuesday at "the Presbyterian Church here where plans were mads for an. organiza tional meeting on May 12.

Raleigh A public hearing will be held by the Senate Education Committee Thursday morning, April 16, on a bill to lower quali fications -for the job of Madison County school superintendent. This was announced Tuesday by Sen. J. G. Stikeleather Jr., of Buncombe, chairman of the com mittee. After tentatively plan ning a hearing for this week, he decided more time was needed to give all interested parties an op portunity to attend. The hearing will start at 10:30 o'clock in the Education Building. Stikeleather is sending written notification of the hearing to the new Madison County school board. The former board was suddenly liquidated by legislative act last month. The measure in dispute, which has the opposition of state school authorities, was introduced by Sen. Albert L. Canipe of Mitchell. It would permit a person holding a bachelor's degree to become county superintendent provided he has tauit school for two years within the last ten years. State law requires a superin tendent to hold a master's degree and to have taught school at least :;, three years within the last ten before becoming qualified for a superintendent's certificate. , REP. IIOLCO JIBE EXPLAINS STAND ON CANIPE BILL According to a release by C. A. Upchurch Jr., Raleigh Bureau re porter, Representative ' Fred Hol combe, of' Madison County stated . that he did not sponsor the bill to lower qualifications for the school superintndent in Madison County , because "If I'd thought it was a good bill, I'd have introduced it." When Holcombe ' declined to in troduce the bill, backers of the bill went to Senator Canipe, whose big majority of votes in Madison made him the winner in, the gen eral election Senate race. - ' The hottest official temperature ever recorded 'was 136.4 in Libya, North Africa. . t " t .
