Artificial
Breeding
PROGRAM Grows

The artificial cattle breeding
program is making rapid progress
in North Carolina, reports ]. F.
Down, Extension Dairy Special
list at State College.
He says there are now % organ
lied artificial breeding associa-
lions in the State with total men,
bership in excess of $500, and it
is estimated that more than TO-
900 COWS will be bred under the
program this year.
Reports show that in January
and February 2,258 cows were
bred by q associations. Two asso-
Citations began operating during
March and all otrers except those
in Forsyth, Yadkin and Davis
counties began in January.
Despite the fact that most of the
technicians are new, reports OF
April l indicate that the non-re-
turn percentage by technicians on
January l services around A per

good figure with so many new on

Farmers Are
Warned On
Lightning

lightning, Natures artillery,
causes 81 per cent of all farm
fires" c. D. Raper. County ags
ent for the State College Extern
sion Service, asserted today. Each
year, he pointed out, lightning de-
stroys approximately $2O,OOO,0O0
worth of farm property in the
United States. 1t takes the lives
of 500 people and Injuries 1900
others, and the lions share of
these victims are farm residents,
according to records of the Ma
tional Safety Council.
This is the picture, correct and
unexaggerated. And a horrible
picture it is, because the greater
part of these tragedies could be
prevented.
Lightning tends to strike the
highest point in the vicinity. This
may be a barn, tree or man
working in the field.
"a building adequately equip
ped with lightning rods affords
the best protection" according
to the county agent. "If you are
working in field and do not have
time to seek the protection Of a
rodded building, lie down in low
spot in the field, away from the
wire fences, trees, livestock and
machinery. Avoid seeking shell
ter under trees, particularly the
lone trees or small groves. The
wire fences and machinery should
also be aboided during electrical
soormf, Ascau(e they may at
tract lightning.
Lightning rods, he continued,
provide good protection when
properly installed. This means
that the rod must have a definie
connection to an effective ground.
Periodic check ups should be made
to determine if the rods are in
satisfactory condition.
The National Safety Council
points out that protection can
be provided for livestock by the
grounding of wire fences every
hundred yards. Metal posts piac-
ed at least three feet in the
ground provide good grounding
for fences. 1t should be remem-
bered that metal buildings dr
roofs afford no protection from
lightning unless they are ade-
quately grounded.

Farm Satisfy
Week Set For
July 1851

In proclaiming the period of July
1881 as National Farm Safety
Week, President Truman points
out that needless hazards on the
farms of our nation continue to
cause thousands of accidents each
year which could be prevented by a
positive safety program"
Goal for the 1913 observance,
which is sponsored by the Nation
al Safety Council and the u. S. de-
partment of Agriculture in coop
Grafton with a number of other
organizations, is the elimination
of at least 80 million farm haz-
ards. Each farm family is be-
ing asked to accept responsible
ty for eliminating at least one
hazard for every member of the
family.
The long range purposes OF the
National Farm Safety Week are
to make every American farm and
every American farm resident as
safe as possible, to cut the annu-
al toll of needless deaths and in
iuries to a minimum and timake
farm life safer, happier and also
more prosperous.

ALBUM OF AMERICAN HISTORY edited by Adm:

SEPTEMBER 20, 1887 the ship
Columbia Rediuiua, 2l2 tons
burthen, was outward bound,
from Boston. 1t was to make
history as the first ship to carry
the U. S. flag around the globe.
1t started out, under John Ken
drick of Wareham, with the
sloop Lady Washington. to
trade for furs on the Pacific
Coast. From there, in 1883, its
holds full of furs. the Columbia
was sent to China under Robert
Gray of Tiverton, to trade its
cargo for tea and silk. Then it
went home by sailing westward.
Return of the Grand Turk of
Salem, in May 1887, from a pio-
neer trip to China, had brought
its owners enormous profits.
and other owners sent their
ships there. Soon the U. S. was
outstripping every other nation
in trade in the Far East-a fact
that was to have profound eff
feet on its geography.
