Cattlemen Warned About Paint Situation With the spring painting season coming on, Dr. William Moore, of the state agriculture department veterinary division, has warned farmers to be careful about the danger of losing valuable cattle from paint poisoning. Pointing out that “cattle seem to have a natural craving for lead, which is an ingredient in most paint,” Dr. Moore declared that cows have been known to lick the paint off' old signs in pastures, long after the signs were painted, and they have been known to bur row into a brush pile to get a discarded paint can. Symptoms of paint poisoning, according to 'Dr. Moore, are a Btaggering gait, prostration, walk ing in circles—and sometimes the cattle will press their heads against a wall, or will grind their teeth. ' In general, said Dr. Moore, it’s a good precaution to keep - cattle away from paint, under any and i all circumstances'.

' This information nas provided the state agriculture department with the fact that “the relation-; ship between the price of chickens and eggs this season is much less favorable than a year ago.” Tremendous Increase In Hybrid Corn In N. C. IPleadinig for patience among seed dealers, W. H. iDarst, director of the seed laboratory division of the state department of agricul ture, declared recently that the tremendous demand for hybrid seed corn germination tests this season has thrown the laboratory about eight days behind schedule. Asserting that “there never has ■been anything like this sudden in terest in hybrid corn,” Darst point ed out that his division is receiv ing approximately 10 times as many samples as last year. He ex plained that the increased work on hybrid seed does not come solely ■from the increased amounts, but is also due to the fact that each sample necessitates about six tests, or one for each hybrid in the sample. 'If the increased samples of hy brid seed corn being received are an accurate barometer of contem plated hybrid acreage for the state this year, North Carolina farmers will plant about three times as much hybrid, corn as in 1945. The statistics division of the ag riculture department estimated that 4.9 per cent of the corn crop in this state last year was hybrid. ■Meantime, the samples are swiftly piling up in the state seed laboratory, and even stenograph ers’ desks and tables are being utilized in the attempt to find fil ing space for them. Darst now has four seed analysts, two ger mination analysiSts, and two re cording clerks working about 10 hours a day in an effort to place the tests in the hands of dealers and prevent a delay in sales.
