Farmers Urged To Take Advantage Os Services Producing high crop yields re quires a complete evaluation of all factors which combine to make up the final yield. Today’s farmers must take advantage of all technology, including both services and products, if they are to be efficient producers, accord ng to Mr. E. L. Dill ng ham, County Extension Char man. The f nal yield level will be determined largely by the fertility status of the soil, cli mate conditions, and the man agement skills of the farmer. One service that all farmers can take advantage of is soil testing. Having your soil tested is the best way to make sure that fertility will not be the factor that limits your yield levels th s year.

In making this release, Mr. Arney C.

The availability of a new Treasury security called ’Freedom Shares’ will add materially to the achieve ment of this goal, and we trust that more North Carolinians will purchase Series E Beads and the aew ’Freedom Shares’ during the coming months." RAUIGH REPORT By: Ernest B. Messer A bill has been introduced in the Senate to make it a misde meanor to desecrate public and private cemeteries. The bill pro hibits putt.ng any refuse in a cemetery or damaging, over turning, polluting, of taking any ornament or plant located in a cemetery. The punishment f_r such violation is not more than a SIOO f.ne or 30 days imprison ment, or both. •• • • I am introducing a bill to give drivers license examiners the same coverage for injury as a result of accident that mem bers of the Highway Patrol now have. If a patrolman is injured in the line of duty, he continues to draw his pay for one year, then half pay for another year. If the accident limits ha acti vity, he may be transferred to other duty on a temporary basis. j" Drivers license examiners have no coverage for acciden tal injury, and their job is often very hazardous. • • • p‘V Ij The only difference the “Brown Bag Law’’ made be tween wet and dry counties is that in dry count es restaurants cannot be licensed so as to per mit people to bring the’r liquor in and consume it. This feature would involve only Madison County in the 47th House Dis trict, since only Madison has an ABC store. In all counties a person is au thorized to transport a gallon of whiskey and to consume it in his home, motel or hotel room, on any private property, or in the home of another per son.. For special occasions, a per son may possess any amount of liquor that is necessary, and any number of guests can be served drinks on special occas ions, so long as the general pub r lie is not permitted to attend. This provision of the ABC act makes serving drinks at con ventions legal. Clubs can be licensed to per mit members to store and con sume alcohol on the premises. This privilege is extended to any group with a limited member ship and which has facilities for storage and consumption. Dry counties will now prob ably have as much whiskey con sumed in them as wet counties, the main difference being that wtrskey cannot be legally pur chased in dry counties. After 5t4 hours of argument and maneuvering, the Senate by a vote of 27 to 22 killed East Carol na College’s chances to become a separate university. There remains, however, a bll to make East Carolina College a part of the Consolidated Uni versity. •• • • Representative Ramsey and I introduced a bill, at the request of sportsmen in several coun ties, to permit hunting of rab bts and squirrels on one's own land cr on leased land with a pistol having at least a • inch barrel. The act applies to IS counties including Haywood, Madison, and Yancey. NOTICE Anyone who makes crafts or who I' ’nterested in making them is urged to attend a meeting Monday night, May I at T:SO p. m. in the courthouse (Room No. 3). The purpose of this meeting is to discuss possibilities of for m!ng a cooperative. If more information is needed call 683-2610.
