T. Randolph, Office Manag er of the Agricultu~al Stabili zation and Conservation Ser vice, has announced. The rate of payment was determined recently by the Department of Agriculture as the percent age necessary to bring the na tional average wool price of 53 2 cents per pound received by growe-s during 1964 up to the previously announced In centive level of 62 cents per pound under the national rap! program, Producers thus will receive an Incentive payment of $16.50 for every SIOO received from the sale of shorn wool during the tenth year of the program. This compa-es with a payment of $27 80 per SIOO of market ings for the 1963 marketing year when the average wool sales was 48 5 per pound. The payment rate on 1964 sales of unshorn live lambs to compensate for the wool on them will be 35 cents per hun dredweight This payment on sa.es of live lambs that have never been shorn is based on the shorn wool .payment and is designed to discourage un usual shearing of lambs be fore m& fcetlng. The payment rate compares with 54 cents per hundredweight for the 1963 marketing year. The wool incentive program was originally authorised by the National Wool Act of 1954, which ha* been extended twice as a means of encouraging the domestic production of wool. The program currently is au tho 4zed to coyer marketing through the 1965 marketing year. The President has recom mended another extension of the Act.'

STATE “Please tell me how I can kill wild cherry trees. They are growing among other trees in the woods adfoinlng my pasture which is used by the cattle fcyp*shade and rest" Wild cherry trees, sweet gum, poison ivy, blackberry and many other wUody plants may be eradicated by using the ester form of 2,4, 5-T. The material may be applied as a basal spray or to the foliage depending upon the season of the year. Instructions for use wUlAgjjrlnted on the contain ersj-and should be followed very carefully so” best results Be especially careful about spray drift to other plants that you do not wish to injure. Soon after receiving the call I met one of my forestry friends in the hall and told him about It. He was surprised that anyone would to kill wild cherry trees because the lumbe” is bringing in S3O per thousand board feet in the .mountains on the stump and scattered among other trees. It seemed to me that I re membered about wild cherry foliage and cattle so I called one of my friends in Animal Science. He refresh ed my memory and told me that wild cherry foliage could poison cattle, especially if they eat the wilted leaves on trees which have begh blown down by clinging to broken branches. My curiosity not having been completely satisfied I went to my file and got Dr. Jim Hard in’s ‘Poisonous Plants of North Carolina’’ which I consider to be the last word on poisoinous plants of all kinds. I Imagine that most every one is familiar with the wild cherry as It grows In all sec tions of the state. Dr. Hardin states that the poisoinous prin ciple is hydrocyanic (prussic) acid. Numerous factors contri bute to the formation of the acid but It is most commbnly found when the leaves are in a v-* u "d - is also found In the twigs and ba”k Dr Hardin describes the symptoms as difficult breath- . tag, vertigo, spasms, coma aM sickness of short duration. An animal may die within an hour after eating unless a veterinarian is available for quick attention. ' Eating very small amounts, even ot fresh leaves, is considered to have been the cause of some sick neas and abortion In cattle. - ■ I
