Hi! I suppose the beaches are
really beginning to be crowded by
now. I spent last weeknd at Cedar
Island which is a lovely little island
located on Pamlico Sound. As
many of you know it is also the lo
l cation of the ferty which makes
Itwo daily trips to Oeracoke. Be
cause of the ferry, there are many
tourists on the island during the
summer; so the island is not' quite
as private as it used to be. How
ever, to me, it is still a beautiful
place and one where 1 love to Spend
as much time as possbile.
We have recently received word
that two of our teachers at Jones
Central, Miss Amy White and Mr.
Amos Taylor, will not be with us
next year. I am sure that I speak
for the students when I say that
^1 their absence wil be felt greatly
Miss White is loved, I’m sure, by
everyone she has ever taught Her
teaching ability and her ability to
"talk” to the students have won
her a high place in their hearts.
Mr. Taylor has shown also that
he is deeply interested in the stu
dents, not just as students, but as
people. His genuine concern has
helped to stimulate school spirit at
| the school, arid we would like to
extend to both of these teachers
\ our deep gratitude for their con
tribution to the students and to
hte school, and we would like td
wish each of them much success
and happiness.
We were very happy to hear that
Jackie Spradley is recovering. We
want to wish him a very speedy
recovery, and we hope that he’ll be
"up and around” in no time.

Cattlemen Offered Help
In Controlling GrubsiR
Two new forms of help are avail
able to cattlemen whose herds are
plagued by grubs. Both the U. S.
Department of Agriculture and the
N. C. Agricultural Extension Ser
vice have recently published up-to
date information on how to control
this pest.
The USDA publication is leaflet
No. 527, “How to Control' Cattle
Grubs." The extension publication
is Folder No. 221, "Cattle Grubs in
North Carolina.” Free copies may
be obtained from local agricultural
extension agents.
Dr. Billy S. Perryman, extension
veterinarian at North Carolina
State, said nearly all cattlemen are
familiar with the swellings that ap

winter. These swellings contain
grubs, which are the maggot stage

Perryman explained that grubs

and the larva boring into backs of
cattle cause injuries and dollar
losses that are hard to estimate.
Millions of .pounds of choke meat
are condemned each year because
of the need to trim out grub

at least one cent per pound.
Perryman points Out that several
products are on the market which
provide excellent control of grubs
in beef cattle. Control in dairy
cattle is more difficult.
