Good and the aver age dressing, .after an overnight shrinkage, was 54.5 per cent. The initial cost of the animals was $192.97 per head; the aver age selling price was $289.17 per head--an Increase of $96.20 per head. The researches concluded that a program where feeder cattle are purchased in the fall and finished, mostly- on pasture and roughage Is particularly adapted to farms that do not have the labor or land to establish a breed lng herd. Among their warnings, however, are ^'Do not overstock pastures, buy only healthy, thrifty cattle, and winter them cheaply on good' roughage."

''i "f in.J?'.-ted swine., rlicf.l SDA iiinourii-ed t? September. Commercial strawberry grow ers In North Carolina usually make a new planting in late winter or early spring. Plants set at that time will produce many runner plants during the grow ing season, all of which produce Yu 11 crops the next spring. The development of matted row 'beds by this method requires consid erable cultivation and hoe-work in order to keep down grass and Weeds especially during August and September. There is no other way out tor commercial grower. However, the home gardener with a small planting can escape some of the disagreeable grass fighting by setting his plants Jn the fall, early enough to become established before winter. Plans set now will produce a good crop next spring but will produce no runner plants this fall. Therefore, in order to obtain a crop com parable to that produce by the u^ual matted row, it is necessary to- set a much larger number of I plants than If planted in the spring. The plants may be set as close as 8 to 12 inches apart in the row, and double rows may be used. Unless you have a berry patch of your own from which to get plants or have a friend who has some it may be difficult to get plants now. The nurseries do not like to dig their, plants until later in the season after runner production has ceased. The Massey and Al'britton va rieties are recommended for North Carolina. Everbearing strawberries are recommended only for the mountain areas. If you have an established strawberry bed, be sure to give it an application of good garden fertilizer now. One gallon of a 5%10-5 or 6-8 6 mixture for 100 feet of row should be satisfact ory. If applied on top of the plants, it should >be put on when the leaves arfe dry and immed iately brushed off the plants* Three Constitutional Amendments To Be Decided B; Voters Of State Three . proposed ammendments to the State Constitution will ap pear on the state ballots in No vember when North Carolina vot ers go to the polls to choose the candidates of their choice These amendments deal with county tax levies, vacancies in the Gen eral Assembly and in certain State offices, and voters should study these issues so that they will be able to intelligently mark their ballots. An amendment "limiting the amount of total State and county tax which may be levied on prop erty to twenty cents (20c) on the one hundred. ($100) valuation'* will he decided, upon by North Carolina voters. At present, North Carolina counties are restricted by law to assessing no more than fifteen cents on each $100 prop erty valuation for general fund purposes. The1 amendment seeks to heighten the ceiling to twenty cents. Special levies on the coun ty tax lisi are not affected. ? Another item on . the .ballots will deal with an 'amendment to fill a vacancy oceuring in the General Assembly by death, res ignation or otherwise by imme diately appointment of the Gov ernor, upon recommendation of the excutlve committee of. the ceased or resigned rriemoer was affliated at the time of his elect ion." This would change the present method of filling legis lative vacancies through special elections! and authorize the Governor to appoint a replace ment. The. third- decision of Mr.. John Q. Public Will he made upon an '.".imendmen* providirig a uni form method of filling vacancies in cert. tin State "offices," Under the law. as it now stands, vac ancies in slate offices, created | i>v (icat)i or resigit.itU>n. must j ne filled at the next* general | election follnwin.; 'she oiVUrren j Co. eVen ?'! the v'oeancy develops j i?nl> ,i few hours before the polls j'open, ?

Planning together creates a spirit of interest and cooperation according to Corinne Justice Grimsley, State College Exten sion Specialist In Family Relat ions. Quoting 4-H girl, Mrs. Grims leys says: "We have found that by planning and working to gether we get much more done and it is easier that way. Mother* Daddy, and I talk over the jobs tp be done, deciding upon the jobs for the week and plan the fair est and best way of doing our wark day to day. "Our work varies because of the seasonal jobs that have to be done, but with the regular week ly and daily work, we each know what our own job is and assume the responsibility expected of us, office until the next general election, thereby doing away with a hasty election of a can didate* Color Parade Is Beginning In Mountains RALEIGH ? North Carolina's annual autumn color parade Is making its October march down the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky mountain. . Late September found ash and sugar maples transformed to bril liant reds at higher altitudes, and visitors to the highest mountains in Eastern America recognized them as heralds of color that by the first week in October will be gin clothing the mountains from 2000 to above 6000 feet. Normally the color peak *s attained around mid-October and extends into early November. October has become one of the favorite travel months in West ern North Carolina and accom modations along the Blue Ridge Parkway and adjacent to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park are remaining open. They For instance: Mother and I al ways do the milking while Dad dy does the. heavier chores* For six years I have taken care of my own bedroom. We understand that Daddy plows and gets the ground ready for garden; then Mother and I put in the seeds and plants and do the hoeing." "I cannot imagine what it would be like to live in a home where the family didnot discuss and plan together the work to be done.,, Mrs. Grimsley explains - that many times children will com plain because they can't have all of the things their friends have. Many families discuss money matters with their child ren so they will understand the family circumstances. Frequently when children ob ject to helping, it is because they have the same job over and ?over again with no prospects of taking turns. . J qqqqqqqq formerly closed on Labor Day or | shortly thereafter. Open top bus tours from Asheville are aiso a vaUabie through October. At the North Carolina entrance to the Great Smokies Park, the annual Cherokee Indian Fair ushers In the October Color Pa rade with an enlarged stadium for the pophlar stick ball games and Indian dances. The Fair be gins Sept. 30 and extends through Oct 4. New this year is the replica of a Cherokee Indian Village of the period of 1750. It takes an hour to make the guided tour of this. Indians are seen In their homes and carryirtg on the activities of a -typical Indian village of that period.. Their colorful costumes are lrreslstable to most picture takers. The. Indians In the village are not only accommodating a bout posing, but they expect no tips. Five motor tours of Western North Carolina have been map ped by the North Carolina State News Bureau in Raleigh for max imum enjoyment of the autumn foliage show, and may be obtain ed free upon request. Tobacco auction markets are open throughout the eastern and Piedmont sections of the State, and October Is considered one of the very best months for surfcast Ing from Nags Head and Hatter as and all the way down the Out er Banks. It is also a favorite month for Gulf Stream fishing from famed middle Atlantic sports fishing centers such as Morehead City, Southport, Wrlg htsville, and Carolina beaches. Vw'r/vt&ir?
