JM Bl ISHiD EVERT Til? MOlIllt^jTlCCT G I'l BUSHED EVERT Animals Rank Third As Cause Of Farm Accidents Animals rank third among the ' causes of accidental injuries to farm people, according to H. M. Ellis, head of extension agricul tural engineering. Falls and ma chine! y top the list. Increased reliance on artificial breeding of dairy stock has freed many farmers from the haiards of handling bulls on their farms. But when a bull is kept, regardless of how gentle it may appear, substan tial fencing is absolutely necessary for safety. A safekeeper bull pen of the I type developed by Agricultural Research Service Is recommended for bulls kept for dairy or beef stock breeding. The pen Includes a abed with stanchion and manger, and It is so constructed that the attendant can handle and feed the animal without coming in contact with it. Beef bulls that run with the herd have infrequent contact with the owner. If a bull on the rage or in a pasture must be approached, do so while on horseback or in a ve N. C. Potato Production Up 14 Per Cent An of July 1, North Carolina po tato production la aet at 0,720.000 buahels?a 14 per cent increaae over the 1994 production, accord ing to the North Carolina Crop Reporting Service. If thia production Is realized, it will give an average yield of 168 bushels per 'acre from the state's 40,000 acres. The state yield in 1994 was 191 bushels per acre; thus the increase production is attribut ed to higher yields per acre and a slightly higher acreage, as only 39,000 acres were harvested in 1954. The higher yields reflect favor able weather during the maturing season and during the peak har vest season. High Production Ol Corn Seen For This Year Reported condition from growers as of July 1, indicates a production of 65,696,000 bushels. If realized, this will be the highest production t of corn for the state since 1951 when 67,611,000 bushels were pro duced. The 1955 forecast of 65,- | 696,000 bushels would be about 29 per cent more production than the 50,784,000 bushels produced in the drought-stricken year 1964. The prospective yield per acre for the 1955 crop is indicated at 32 bushels by the North Carolina Crop Reporting Service. If realized, the yield will be the second highest of record and the highest since 1950. The record yield of 33 bush eli was set In 1950. The 1954 yield I was 24.0 bushels per acre. The increased acreage planted with hybrid seed and generally favor hide, if possible. If you must ap proach a bull in a pasture on foot, be sure there is a vehicle nearby to afford a barrier in case the bull should charge. Bulls aren't the only dangerous animals. Moars also come in this category. Tusks shootd'be*rem<tV* ed from boars. Even an ordi narily gentle animal may strike without warning. Deaths have oc curred from such accidents. A hand hurdle will keep off a boar if he should attempt to strike. Sows may be a source of danger, particularly before and after far | rowing. A hand hurdle should be carried when entering the pen at such times. Leave the pen door unlatched to permit a quick es cape. EXECUTOR NOTICE Having qualified as executor of the estate of Jean M. West, deceas ed, late of Haywood County, this Is to notify all persons having claims against the estate of said deceased to exhibit them to the undersigned at Waynesville, North Carolina, on or before the 15th day of July, 1956 or this notice will be pleaded in bar of their recov ery. All persons indebted to said estate will please make immediate payment. This the 15th day of July. 1955.1 JOHN W. WEST, JR. Executor of the Estate of Jean M. West, deceased. 2548?J 18-25 A 1-8-15-22 able weather conditions are con-1 trlbuting factors for the near rec ord yield. About 60 per cent of this year's acreage was planted with hybrid seed, compared with 46.5 per cent in 1954. The corn acreage for harvest in 1955 is estimated to be 2,053,000 acres, which is 3 per cent below the acreage harvested in 1954. The state's corn crop is mostly in condition and _is ip?or near?the tasseling and silking state of maturity. To July 1, there has been sufficient moisture for a good growth and the color is ex tremely good in all districts ex cepting a few areas in the northern and central Piedmont districts. Stands are mostly good and, with another general rain, most of the acreage Should come through with { a much higher than average yield. Union County Farmers Declare War On Insects Union County Parm Agent P. E. Bate more says that farmers in the Union Springs community have "declared war." JSazemore explains that this bat tle is to do the best possible Job of farming they can do and the only casualties will be boll weevils, thrips, and other insects that dare to enter their fields. One of the farmers said he saw one boll weevil and a little damage caused by thrips. Asked if hh Average prices paid by North Carolina farmers for most furni ture items on March 15, 1955, were above those paid on the same date a year earlier. Refrigerators and dining room suites dropped slight ly, however. planned to dust soon, he replied, "I'm putting the second applica tion on tomorrow." Perhaps his action might be called a little "hasty" but it certainly shows that the farmers are "on the ball." Bazemore says that to suggest a "cease fire" would get you nowhere with these enthusiastic farmers. The county agent says that most of the farmers had their soil tested and are following recommendations they received from the Soil Testing Laboratory as well as other recom mended practices. BARN SPRAYING with a mixture of used motor oil and red brick dust was demonstrated in West Pigeon community Thursday afternoon "by M. C. Nix, vocational agriculture Instructor at Bethel High School, and several member* of ttte Bethel Future Farmers of America chapter. Spraying of barns, poultry houses, garages and similar buildings has been adopted by the West Pigeon CDP for the beautilcation and preserva tion of wooden structures. (Mountaineer photo).

The first forecast of the season for commercial apple production in North Carolina is for a crop of only 40,000 bushels?approximately two percent as large as the 1,900,000 bushels harvested in 1954. For all practical purposes this year's crop was completely destroy ed by the severe freeze of late March, according to the North Carolina Crop Reporting Service. Reports from commercial produc ing areas indicate that later bloom ing varieties set a very light crop '.n some of the better protected orchards. In most of the orchards, however, trees were in full bloom, or buds were swollen at the time of the freeze. Losses in such cases were complete. For the United States as a whole, production of commercial apples is forecast at 105,560,000 bushels? only 4 per cent below production of 109,512,000 produced in 1954. 1 ( STARK BROS ... .

At high er temperatures. 75 and 80 de grees, they begin to have diffi culty. Appetites lag and efficiency decreases. % Provide all animals and poul try with plenty -of fresh, clean water. Shade and wallows or sprinkler systems do most to help hogs keep cool. Place feed and water in shade, if possible. It may help to put straw or hay over the poultry house roof, if uninsufikted. If birds hold wings out from body and pant, water the roof with sprinklers or garden hose as (gUekly as you can. Provide shade and freedom from flies for cows. Dairy cows do beat wheti temperature la 40 to 60 degrees. And, of course, be sure there's plenty of water. with Home Aero-Spray. Just press the top valve and presto they turn up their heels and die. All fooling aside, it's a good product. Try It today. DON'T FAIL to stop in and set our Pullet Derby next time you're in town. WATCH PASTURE CONDITION FOR KEY TO PROFITS What is a. pasture? It* a place 'where grass is so good that a cow can fill her stomach in two hours or less, then lie down in the shade and rest. While she's resting, she's working for the farmer. If she goes to spend all.day'get ting erfough food, the cow is work ing for herself, not for you. A permanent pasture should be convenient to the barn, should have a supply of dean water, and should be fertilised regularly. The better the toil, the better the pas ture. Allow at least one acre per cow, If possible. ? Divide pasture Into several pad docks antf graze in rotation. Elec tric fencing makes this easy, easy. Avoid overgrazing at all times.
