Cood Beef May Be Produced On Southern Grass Raleigh, May 23 lt doesn’t require lowa corn to produce pal-| atable and nutritious beef, says Earl H. Holstetler, professor of animal husbandry at N. C. State college. ,- Our sonthem grass will do just as g-'od a job, if we use good sires in breeding our cattle,’’ he declares. “Recent research has shown that good beef can be produced from Southern pastures, rough ages and cottonseed meal,” the animal husbandman says. “With the l:ng growing season and greater stress on improved pas tures, the finishing of beef cat tle will prove a profitable prac tice in the Southern States. Add. ed to profit from the sale of beef is the value of plant food restor ed to the pasture land without la bor in handling manure.” Prof. Hostetler says that exper iments by the North Carolina, and other experiment stations, have shown in certain cases that lar ger returns are possible from] beef cattle that are fed cottonseed j cake, or a mixture of cottonseed meal and grain, in addition to* pasture. Also, by this method the quality of beef is improved and more rapid gains are made, high er prices are secured, and less grain is used than for cattle that are fed to the same degree of finish in a dry lot. “Cotton belt feeders have pro ved that cottonseed meal is not only an economical and efficient! source cf protein, but, in addi tion, has a productive and fatten ing Value that is important in feeding on grass,” the State col lege man declared. When farm grains are available,! many feeders use a mixture of | one part of cottonseed meal and four to six parts of ground grain j for cattle on grass. Pasture con ditions and the relative cost cf, grain determines the proportion of meal and grain fed, as well as ; the amount of mixture fed to cat-: tie. Markers Limited In Function In Primaries Now Raleigh, May 23—The 1033 General Assembly made a very, drastic change in the use of markers in primaries. The only voters who may he as- ; sted in the marking of their, ballots are those who cannot read and those who by reason of j physical handicap, such as blind-j ness, paralysis ~r other disabl-l ing defect, are unable to mark their ballot. In an official opinion, the At torney General ruled that only those illiterates registered under the Grandfather Clause of the Constitution were entitled to as sistance by reason of their in ability to read. When a voter is entitled to as sistance in, the marking of the ballot, he must obtain the assist ance from a near relative, (hus band and wife; parent and child; brother and sister; or grandpar ent and grandchildren) but if no such near relative is present, he may then ask any other voter of the precinct who has not assist ed any ether voter, to give him the assistance. If, however, there is present no near relative, or other voter who has not marked another ballot, the voter may but only then, call upon the registrar or a judge of elections for assistance. The registrar is required to keep a record of all voters who receive assistance and the names of the persons giving assistance.

ADVERTISE IN THE TIMES FOR RESULTS .... • ■ • \ To The Home Folks Os Person County: It has been necessary for me to spend a lot of time in other parts of North Carolina recently, and for this reason I have not had the opportunity to ask many of you to support me for Lieu tenant Governor. I deeply appreciate the local interest in my behalf, and I have made an honest and dignified campaign. I ai grateful for the confidence you have shown in the past and I respectfully hope you will vote for me on May 25. Faithfully yours, ' I R. L. Harris PERSON COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO. N. C. L’Guardia Says Italians Soon Will Enter War Charlotte, May 21 Fiorello LaGuardia, of New York, speak ing here yesterday at the 165th anniversary of the signing of the Mecklenburg declaration of inde pendence, predicted that Italy would scon enter the war on the side cf Germany. “The Italian people don’t want to fight for Germany,” he said. “The hope is trying to keep Italy from entering the war, too. But Mussolini has the army and Mus solini, it appears, is determined to see that Italy gets into the war on Hitler’s side. I believe that Italy will soon be in. The man who has the army usually has his way.” The 1 “Little Flower” made it plain that he was not too confi dent that the allies would win. The sensible thing for the United States to do, he said, is to get ready. o . . 1 Electricity Put To Work On Farm Raleigh, May 23 Rural elec trification has brought light and modem conveniences to thousands of North Carolina farm homes within the past few years. “Now,” says D. E. Jones .ru ral electrification specialist of N. G. State college, “farmers are learning how electricity can be put to work to lighten burdens and economically operate heating and refrigeration units cn the farm.” He named the operation of brooders for chicks, dairy equip ment, and feed grinders, and the heating of plant beds as ways that farmers are using their new found source of power and heat. Electric brooders' are becom ing popular, and among those who have expressed themselves as thoroughly satisfied with this modem equipment are J. A. Rowland of Stanley County, John Worman of Cleveland County, and Mrs. J. C. Barber of Rowan County. Mr. Rowland figured his cost at slightly more than one cent per chick despite the severe winter just past. P. A. Irvin, a large retail milk producer of Mecklenburg County told Specialist Jones that his to tal electric bill for the many jobs performed in his dairy is no more than was his cost for ice a lone before he installed electrical i equipment. 1 Ralph Scott of Alamance Coun- 1 ty, and Roy and Francis Siegman •of Catawba County are enthused over their new feed grinding mills operated by electric motors. Mr. Scott says: “I am convinced that the feed grinding problem on my farm is solved through use of this mill. I can grind nearly 60 bushels of ear com an hour and use only five Kilowatt Hours of electricity.” Jones also reports that Ira and High Bailey in Rowan County are using electricity to pump water for the irrigation of their truck crops, and to heat plant beds to start leaauce, pepper and tomato plants. “A few farmers are also using electrically-heated sweet potato plant beds,” Jones stated. o Speed Cause Os Many Accidents Raleigh, May 23—.1n the spring a young man’s fancy turns to 1 something more serious than love, according to Ronald Hocutt, Director of the Highway Safety Division. And that “something”, Hccutt says, is stepping on the | gas—driving at an excessive rate of speed. Accident records show that nine persons were killed on North Carolina highways last month in cars that overturned,! and eight of these nine, all but one of whom were driving, were young men between the ages of 18 and 25. “Practically every one of these fatal accidents was due to just ; one thing—excessive speed,” the 1 VOTE FOR JAMES BRODIE RIGGSBEE Your County Treasurer Brodie Riggsbee has proven to us his capacity in handling finances by the able manner with which he has per formed the many financial responsibi lities tendered him both by popular de mand and popular vote. He has served as Treasurer of Long Memorial Methodist Church for five successive years, resigning at the end of this period. He has served as Secre tary-Treasurer of the Sunday School, in which capacity he still serves. Char ter member of the Roxboro Kiwanis Club and served as its Treasurer during the first year. Was elected and served the Roxboro Junior Order of the Ameri can Mechanics as its first Treasurer, and now holds his membership at Long hurst Council No- 121. An active Mason, Your Vote and Support will be Greatly Appreciated (By Friends of Person County and Brodie Riggsbee) safety director said. “Modern, motor cars don’t overturn easily, and as a general thing the driver who overturns a car has been guilty of reckless driving and speeding. Young men, as last month’s accident record indica tes, are the most flagrant offend ers on these counts.” i Pointing out that in Some in stances cars have overturned five or six times without killing or seriously injuring anyone, Hocutt said that it is possible and frequently happens that a person is killed in a car that has turned over only once, and that “any person whose car turnes a flip without killing or at least seriously injuring him is a might ly lucky individual.” “Yet,” he added, “there are a good many young men in this state who think their experience isn’t complete until they have turned over at least one car. “These reckless, speed-crazy young drivers,” Hocutt conclud ed, “are among the Worst mena ces on our highways today. And we sincerely hope that the young 1 drivers’ grasp the Highway Safety Division proposals to orga way Safety Clubs which will serve to impress young drivers with the dangers of speeding and reckless driving.” F or>Qnality COAL CALL 3371 Gas - Oil - Tires - Tubes - Coal Central Service Corporation Roxboro, N.
