Livestock Also In
Need DentoI Checkups

Livestock, too, can have tooth
ache once in while, the Ameri-
can Foundation for Animal Health
has warned farmers.
"Like human beings, animals
need their teeth examined occa-
sionally if the rest of their bodily
functions are to perform efficient
ly." a Foundation spokesman says.
"Quantity and quality of rations
are important, but it is equally
vital for the animal to chew and
shred this food so it can be digest
ed properly"
Dental troubles in meat-produc-
ing animals are of three principal
types. They include difficulties
associated with erupting or she'd
ing of teeth: injuries sustained
from biting on hard objects: and
anatomical irregularities such as
misshaped jaws, unopposed teeth,
and more teeth than normal.
Symptoms of dental difficulties
include frequent drooling: slow.
deliberate chewing. indicating
pain: and sudden drawing back
from cold water while drinking.
at should take a veterinarian
only a short time to examine the
teeth of animals being placed in

can mean better eating, better di-
gestion, and better health for the
animals all through the winter"

Tobacco Violations
Costly To Farmers

Tar Heel tobacco farmers have
shelled out over Sl,872,0 900 in PEN
alties for failure to comply with
ASC'S Production Adjustment Pro-
gram.
H. D. Godfrey of the State ASC
Office, in reporting these penalty
collections on the 1854 tobacco
crop. explained that the rate of
penalty for this year was 81 cents
per pound for flue- cured and 26
cents per pound for Burley. This
represents a penalty on flue-cured
tobacco of 40 per cent of last year S
average market price. On Burley
the penalty was SO per cent of last
years average price. When con-
greSS amended the law with re-
spect to the rate of penalty it was
too late to put the increased rate
into effect on flue-cured. The pen
atty rate for flue-cured will be in
creased for 1855.
Godfrey reported that this PEN
atty money collected totaled near
ly three times the amount required
for administering the program in
the State. These penalty collec-
tions are deposited to the general
fund of the federal treasury and
used to supplement tax collections.
This year, 122,418 North Caro-
lima farmers harvested 674,236
acres of flue-cured tobacco. OF
this amount 9,829 acres were in
excess of allotment. On Burley.
1875 farmers harvested 1l,422
acres. The number of acres plant
ed in excess of allotment for bur-
ley was 432. This gives total OF
lO,26l acres of both types OF to-
bacco planted in this state either
without an allotment or in excess
of allotment. At the same time.
Godfrey reports, there were 1888
| tobacco farmers who did not plant
any tobacco and they had 6,64O
acres of allotment.
Godfrey says that the program

! lust as many farmers underplant-
ing as there are overplanting. AT
the same time he reminds Of the

the federal treasury.

Farm Questions

QUESTION: Is there such a
thing as an "overeating" disease?
ANSWER: Yes 1t is called hem
orrhagic enterotoxemia. a disease
that affects lambs, and calves a

preventive vaccine or serum has
been developed for use on bred
cows or ewes two to four months
prior to the birth of their Off
| springs.
QUESTION: How can I get
around buying expensive feed for
my livestock?
ANSWER: BY using cottonSeed
meal and molasses along with
roughageS Sach as ground corn
stover, cottonseed hullS. or ground
corn cobs. Cows utilize roughage
we'll and it is their most economi-
cal source of supplemental energy.
QUESTION: How did the Agri-
cultural Conservation Program get
its start?
ANSWER: A major depression,
dust bowl. numerous floods, and
millions of acres of quilted and
devastated land combined to bring
a realization that something had
to be done to prevent the nations
resources from being ruined. The
program started in 1896.

been fed salt in the feed or had

izing second year corn hastens
