Highway Unity

The most casual reading and COMPARE
son of highway regulatory measures of
the various States discloses their ineffi-
cheney and otter their ineptness: For high
ways in adjoining States, often part Of
a continuous Federal road, such as y. S.
|, or u. S. 20, were constructed under speci-
fications approved by the United States
Public Roads Administration. Neverthe
less, in operation-for allowable uses, they
vary as much as IS percent.
To illustrate: The length of single We
hicle in Virginia is 33 feet, in Maryland
it is SIS feet; Ohio permits a combination
of vehicles of tractor, semi-trailer and full
trailer with total of nine aXles and
length of 60 feet; while in the adjoining
state Of Kentucky no combinations with
more than four aXles or length of more
than 80 feet is permitted. The approNi-
mate allowable gross in Ohio is 10000
pounds; that in Kentucky is $1,000 pounds.
This, in effect, is restraint in trade to
the detriment Of the public. There exists
total of 301 of these interstate highway
trade barriers. Some may have justifi-
cation. Most do not. These same res
traints effect the full use and enjoyment
by the public of interstate highway traffic.

Last Thursday night we heard a
lot from visiting dalrymen about
the wonderful green pastures OF
Ashe county. Perhaps it is the reg
ular rains in recent weeks that
have helped to keep them so, but
we do not believe we have ever
seen them quite so green as they
are at this time. And to see the
fine cattle grazing on the green
hills is not only a beautiful pic
ture, but indications of a pros
porous one.
1t was a particular pleasure to
see the number of dairy farmers
and other interested citizens at
the sale at the State test farm,
last week, where a number OF
Ashe farmers, bought several of
these prize animals. Clay Kilby,

has presented him with heifer

Sweet AS Honey!
There are few things as sweet
as honey and few sweets that can

too.

LIVESTOCK CARE
URGED BY FOSTER
Warns Against Excessive
Bloat In Cattle
And Sheep
BY DR.. J. E. FOSTER
N. C. State College

Much progress has been made
in North Carolina within recent
years in the development and i'm
provement of pastures. The live
stock farmer could have no better
asset than good pastures, but the
losses of cattle and sheep from
bloat may be serious if caution
is not used in getting these
animals accustomed to the forage.
This is especially true if clover
or alfalfa makes up most of the
stand of plants.
8loat is due to an excessive ac-
cumulation of gases in the rumen
or paunch probably formed to a
large extent by bacterial action.
1t results in pronounced swelling
on the left side which condition
is easily detected. Bloating m Y
occur suddenly and grow con-
tinually worse until fatal or it may
not be very severe, but any ami
NAL so affected should be kept
under observation.
Bloating is usually caused by
hurried eating and gorging of a
new kind of pasture. The better
n more succulent the pasture
and the higher the per cent of
legumes the greater the danger.
Pasture that is wet with dew OF
rain is particularly dangerous.
There are number OF treat
ments and medicines that are
used in case of bloat with varying
results. and some should be ad-
ministered only by a veterinarian
or experienced livestock man.
Prevention is by far the best
method t. follow
At this season of the year and
especially with the improved
clover and alfalfa pastures there
is danger Of cattle and sheep
bloating until they become accus-
toned to the grazing. Some cases
have already been reported which
probably could have been avoided
if the following suggestions b d
been followed:
l. Do not turn on pasture for
the first time until the rain or
dew has dried off.
2. Give the animals a feed Of
grass hay before they are turned
on pasture.
3. Only allow t h animals to
Craze for about thirty minutes
for the first day and increase the
time by about this amount for the
next four or five days until ac-
customed to the pasture.
4. Inspect the animals frequent
ly for the first few days t r
turning on pasture.
5. If bloating continues in spite
OF above precautions, delay graz
ing until plants become more ma
ture
Proper management methods
should enable livestock men to
utilize their pastures to the best
advantage. Bloating should t
discourage them in the develop
ment of more and better pastures
which after all are the foundation
of practical livestock production.

TEXAS PRODUCING
BIGGER TURKEYS
Bv WILLARD G. HASELBUSH
n.oce S&off CorraSnOndnnf

By WILLARD G. HASELBUSH
United Press Staff Correspondent
DALLAS, Texas, May 11.-uD-
Turkey steaks are the latest thing
in Texas. The one-time home OF
the longlorn steer is dreaming OF
turkeys almost as big rs ostrlches
to meet the demand.
The man behind the turkey
steak is F q Beanblossom, poultry
marketing specialist for the Texas
A. and M. College extension serv-
ice. He discovered last winter that
turkey meat cut into small pieces
and run through a steak-making
machine tastes like nothing else
in the world.
"It won't be long 'he says, "un-
til the entire nation is gobbllng
gobbler steaks 365 days year"
Turning out a turkey steak is an
art. All bones and skin are re-
moved and the steak-making ma
chine takes over. A 32-pound tom
will yield 60 steaks which retail
for 25 cents each. The steaks
weigh four ounces each-recom-
mended portion for working man
and they can be fried or brolled
just like beef.
Bigger Birds Wanted
| Beanblossom says Texas-whlch
grows more turkeys than any
other state-is serious about trying
to develop birds as big as ostriches.
Huge gobblers have been a drug
on the market because they rep
resent "too big a load for the
average family, he said, but as the
steak sales grow it would feas-
ible to caponize toms and turn out
bigger and bigger birds.
Reaching for tae eastern mar
ket, Texas turkeys growers already
are delivering frozen turkey steaks
| to Chicago, Beanblossom SAID.
Turkey steaks are on sale in Texas
at Austin, Fort Worth, Dallas, San
Antonio, Brownwood and Luling.
The turkey steak expert said one
large packing firm, Armour, is in
terested in the project. He also IS
working on ways of using turkey
by-products and has discovered
that bones from 32-pound tom
will yield ten pounds of .oup stock.
Feather processing plant in
Brownwood and San Antonio utilize
all available turkey feathers and
convert them into hat decorations,
busters, pillows, darts and arrows.

CHICK BR00DlNC
METHOD COSTLY
Expert Warns A gainst
Different Aged Chickens
In Same Building

Continuous brooding of different
aged chicks in the same building
is costing some poultry producers
lot of money eacn year, T. T.
Brown, Poultry Socialist OR the
State College Extension Service,
says
In his comments on this costly
practice, tn specialist declared
that when chicks of different ages
are brooded in the same building
over a long period of time with
cut a break, the venture usually
ends il costly disappointment.
Some inves4 4igators are of the
opinion that the non disease-pro-
ducing bacteria found in the dust
il, the air, when run through sew
eral genera tions of chicks, become
virulent enough to stunt the growth
of chicks and predispose them
tc specific diseases.
When continuous broodlng is
practiced under the same roof
even though solid partitions may
separate the various brooding
rooms, the chicks begin to slow
up in growth after the first few
months and become unhealthy
looking In many cases, no serious
mortality is experienced, the
specialist said, but the chicks re
cuire several weeks longer to at
tain a marketable weight, and il
is difficult to put t flesh On the
birds.
This condition results in er y
high production costs and low
quality broilers and fryers.
Better INABILITY and faster and
more efficient growth of chicks is
obtained when the entire house IS
filled at one time with chicks ol
the same age. When the broilers
or fryers are sold off, the house
should be thoroughly cleaned, dis
infected, and aired out, preferably
for several weeks, before m o {
chicks are placed in it.
This lapse of time tends tc
break the cycle of most disease
d non disease producing
bacteria that may stunt or kill
chicks, he explains.
