To Win Blue Ribbons, Cattle
Need To Be Given Attention
L. i. Case Gives Advice To
Those Planning To Enter
Cattle In Fairs.

The farmer whose animals win
blue ribbons at fall fairs is the
one who has seen that no detail
has been overlooked in showing
them to the best possible ad-
vantage says L. I. Case, extension
animal husbandman of State Col
1ege.
The first step in feeding and fit
ting beef cattle for the show or
sale ring is the actual selection OF
suitable animals. Little will be
gained by wasting feed and time
on~off-type cattle that will never
make a favorable appearance no
matter how fat or how well
trained they may become.
The ideal beef animal, Case ex-
plained. is one that is thick
blocky, and reasonably close to
the ground. He should be straight
in his top, bottom, and side INES
carry an even width from END TO
end, and be close IN the cou'inle
The animal should show evil
dence of good quality as lndlca-
ted by a pliable hide, a soft silky
coat of hair, neatness in the bone'
and smoothness in the flesh COW
ering. In temperament, the AMI
NAL should be reasonably qule'
and docile, yet with enough 4l1e
and style to give him an attrac-
tive carriage.
No matter how good a beef AMI
rnal is as an individual, he Will
rsss show. to advantage unless ne
is IN top condition. This makes II
necessary that cattle be started
early enough to assure a gooo
finish ait fair or scale time. by
feeding three times a day rather
than twice, a greater total con-
SUMPTION of food will be induced:
The texture of the ration should

Only One Fatal
Accident This
Year In Ashe Co.
Total of 317 Killed In Auto
Wrecks in State First Six
Months OF 1910.

Fifteen of the 3,7O9 highway &C
cidents in North Carolina during
the first six months of 1910 oc-
CURED in Ashe county, according
to a six-months summary just re-
leased by the North Carolina
Highway Safety Division.
There was only one fatal acct
dent in the county so far this
year, which is regarded as being
a good record and surpasses pre-
vious years. Of course several
were injured in other accidents,
but not so severely. Property da-
mage was also comparatively
small. Three were killed in Wa
tauga and 4 in Wilkes.
For the state as a whole, there
were BIT fatal accidents, lab
non-fatal and 1874 property da-
mage accidents the first six
months of this year.
Eighteen North Carolina coun-
ties maintained clean states the
first half of this year with respect
to traffic fatalities, these being:
Allegheny, BERTHE, Caldwell, Cam
den, Caswell, Chowan, Clay, Cur
rituck, Gates, Greene, Hyde,
Jackson Onslow, Perquimans,
Person, Randolph, Tyrrell and
Yancey. Four of these counties,
Allegheny, Chowan, Hyde and
>Tyrrell, reported no traffic IA
talities in 1899. Eighteen other
counties reported only one fatal
accident each for the first six
months period.
Forsyth led the state in total
number of accidents reported,
with 348, and Guilford led in the
number of fatal accidents with
20.

From SCI Made
Talk Here Sat.
Miss White Praised Work of Z
S. G.. F. Demonstration
Schools I'm AShe.

Miss Claire White, field super
visor from the New York office
of Save the Children Federation,
made an interesting talk at reg
ular meeting of S. c. F. In Ashe
county, held at the home of Mrs.
Mary Sue White, S. c. F. head
quarters, last Saturday afternoon.
Miss White told about the work
on the Federation in the Appala-
chan mountain region embracing
four states and praised the S. C..
F. progress that has been made in
this county and section.
One of the main purposes OF
the Federation is to help keep
children in school. It provides
clothing, shoes, hot lunches,
books, desks and other things for
needy school children.
There are seven S. c. F. dem
onstration schools in Ashe and
five of the teachers were present
and told of the benefits this or
ganization has been to them and
the children. These were Andy
Black, Toliver school; George
Miller, Idlewild; Thomas Hardin,
Duncan; Miss Edna Burgess,
.Othello and Miss Wilma Parsons,
Obids.
Through the hot lunch pro-
gram, providing of clothing,
shoes, books and so on, the health
of our children is improved, dis
cipline in school is better and the
children are learning more" one
teacher stated.
Rev. R. H. Stone, vice chair
man, presided. A resolution was
passed by the local committee
"The S. c. F. committee of
Ashe county deeply appre-
ciates the services Mrs. White has
rendered the county, especially in
sponsoring seven demonstration
schools. The schools are making
splendid and satisfactory pro-
gress. The committee also wishes
to express their sincerest appre-
citation to the N. Y. office, which
has furnished sponsors for these
schools and also appropriations for
personal contacts.

these 5000 miles are unpaved. In
our secondary system are nearly
$4,000 miles and less than 1000
miles are paved. Think of it, less
than three per cent Of our rural
highways have all-weather roads,
while 81 per cent still remain in
the mud.
'More than 100000 people,
nearly half of our states popula-
ton, are living on roads that are
dusty in dry weather and mud
dy in wet weather. To enjoy the
greatest benefits of the future, it
is obvious that we must complete
our road system to the point
where every community has good
roads and is served by automotive
transportation.
Therefore there should not be
any diversion of the highway
funds" he declared.
