TIMES HAVE CHANGED
ASHLEY FUTRELL
in the Washington Daily News

Times have surely changed. And
styles have changed with the times.
We remember way back yonder
when the old T-model Fords were
common. A man would drive up to
a gas tank, lift up his front seat,
take out small stick, drop it in
the gas tank, and when he pulled it
out, he could tell how much gas
he had in the tank by the number
of wet inches on the stick. And
then if he wanted to find out about
his oil he would get under the car
with little slender wire rod, and
he would turn the top spigot. If
oil ran out, he had enough. If it
didn't run out of the top, then he'd
try the bottom. If no oil ran out
of the bottom hole, he was badly
in need of oil.
We also remember when it was
against the law for a man to have
a pint of whisky in his pocket. AT
the same time it was considered
prosperous to have a gold $40
piece on ones person. The law has
even changed. Today a man car
walk around with a pint of whiAky
in his pocket, but he had better
not be caught walking around with
500 gold piece in his pocket.
We understand that button shoes
are coming back in style. In grand
mothers day high top buttoned
shoes were quite the vogue. And
grandpa wore pants which, looked
more like a doubled-barrelled shot
gun.
Down in the country where ]
came from, if a boy had underwear
it was usually made out of flour
sacks. Of course he had a set Of
long handles" for Winter. Wher
a boy put on long trousers, the
older boys would pull at his clothes
in mockery, trying to find out
whether or not he was wearing
long stockings or socks. q should

One thing Mrs. Curtis Toler
particularly liked about the To-
cation of her home on the beach
was that she never had to worry
about snakes. In fact, she was
remarking on that very advan-
tage one morning as the family
finished breakfast.
Then Mr.. Toler opened the
kitchen door to leave for his
work, and at the same time q
long black snake slithered across
the porch floor, evidently inter
ested in invading the house
Mrs. Toler slammed the door lr
its face and Mr.. Toler put q
quick end to her fright and tc
the snake.
They say blacksnakes are
sure protection against mice anc
rats. Certainly many a farmer
keeps one around the barn to
war on the rodents that take
such a heavy toll of grain. But
a lot of women, Mrs. Toler ano
your scribe included, would
rather fight rodents with traps
than to have a black snake
around.

DAIRY CATTLE INCREASE
IN NORTH CAROLINA

Cows and heifers 2-years-old-
and-over kept for milk in the
Tar Heel State as of Jan. /, this
year, rose to 100000 from 376,
600 a year EARLIER, according to
the Bureau of Agricultural Ec-
onomics, U. S. Department of
Agriculture. This compares with
a 10-year (1942-5D average OF
377, 900 head. Yearling heifers
being kept for milk cows on
January l this year in North
Carolina numbered $4,000 COM
pared with $4,000 held a year
ago, and heifer calves numbered
LOG, 900 compared with 100000
last year.
These increases are in line
with a national upsurge at the
beginning of this year in num-
bers of heifers and cows being
kept for dairy purposes, revers-
ing downward trend recorded
each year since 1916. Across the
old-and-over being kept for
milk on January l, 1858, were
estimated at 23,996,000 head, or
8 per cent more than on jan
uary l last year.
Yearling heifers being kept
for milk cows totaled $4,000
head, an increase of 4 per cent
over a year ago, and heifer
calves kept for milk are esti-
mated at 6,913,O00 head, or
per cent greater than the num-
Der saved for replacement pur-
poses last year.
At the beginning of 1852, the
total number of cows kept for
milk ON farms in the United
States was 23,369, 900, the lowest
in 20 years and more than 4
100000 less than the record
high of 27,770,000 reached in
1945.
Milk production per cow in
North Carolina fell to 4,4OC
ponds in 1852, as compared with
ALSO pounds per cow in 1851.
Average milk production per
cow for the United States as a
whole was estimated at 1928
pounds in 1852, the highest re-
cord thus far achieved on a ma
