Enrol'lment figures for the first
week of school in Hyde County
sho'ws that Swan Quarter and
Engelhard schools have a slight
boost in registration while Fair-
field has suffered a loss. The gain
in the two largest schools in the
county is believed to have come
about as the result oif the return
of families from war centers now
that peace has been announced.
Swan Quarter has a total en
rollment this year of 202, with
168 in elementary grades and 34
in high school. This compare#
with 192 last year of which 154
were in the grammar department
and 38 in- high school.
Total registration at the En
gelhard school this year is 246,
with 198 in the elementary grades
and 48 in high school. Last year
the enrollment was 232 or 12 lesiS-
than it is this year. At that time
the school had 177 in the gram
mar grades and 55 in high school.
Suffering a los sof sevg,n pu
pils is the Fairfield school which,
has an enrollment of 116 this
year compared with 127 last year.
There are fewer pupils in both
high school and elementary
grades. This year there are 87
elementary pupils registered,
compared with 93 last year and
28 high school students, compar
ed with 34 last year.
Figures were not available
from Sladesville and Ocracoke as
this story was whltten.
Mrs. Sallie C. Baker of Hamp

In an effort to encourage Hyde
County Beef Raisers to take ad
vantage of the beef subsidy pay
ments, T. A. Jennette, Chairman,
Hyde County AAA Committee,
urges producers to endeavor to
get the price that will meet the
minimum staibilization price that
will make them eligible to re
ceive these payments.
Mrs. Jennetee said, ‘Tt appear#
that there are some feeders in
th county who do not know that
they are eligible for these pay
ments.”
(Explaining the requirements
for eligibility, Mr. Jennette de
fined a "feeder” as any person
who has purchased or raised a
beef animal and sold such animal
during the period. May 9, 1945
and ending June 30, 1946, to a
legally authorized slaughterer for
slaughter or to another person
who has delivered such animal
to a legally authorized slaughter
er for slaughter within 29 days
after such sale but not Later than
June 30, 1946. The payment rate
is 50 cents per hundredweight for
sales of good and choice cattle
weighing 800 pounds or more.
The AAA Chairman pointed
out the importance of producers
keeping supporting evidence such
as invoices, sale tickets, account
sales showing the date of sale,
name of buyer, point cf sale, num
ber of head, total liveweight,
price received and the name and
address of the slaughterer to
whom the animals were sold for
slaughter. “Such evidence,” he
added, “will be required by the
Hyde County AAA Committee
before payments can be authoriz
ed.”
The Beef Cattle Production
Payment Program was desi.gned
to encourage greater beef produc
tion by giving the feeder higher
returns from feeding more cattle
and feeding them to heavier
weights and to promote bettor
distribution by directing rriore
cattle to authorized slaughterers
who sell through regular trade
channels.
Mr. Jennette urges ail feeders
to keep in close contact with the
Hyde County AAA office for any
assistance that , will enable them
to receive the subsidy payments
on their beef cattle.
