4-H Project List
Growing Longer

The list of projects for All

One of the newly developed
All Conservation projects is for
the birds. The project is called
'Know Your Birds" and is made
to order for urban and rural

Burton.
Club members, taking this
project, study birds and learn to
identify them. Also, complete
directions are included in the
project of bird feeding and how
to build a bird feeder.
Another new All project is
the Dog Husbandry project, Mr..
Burton says. The project in
cludes information on proper
feeding and care of dog, the
best methods in teaching dogs
new tricks, how to identify dog
breeds and how to train a dog

.Dairymen Can Cut
Costs By Feeding
Homegrown Grain

Dairymen can cut costs by
feeding home grown soybeans
and corn, reports George Vapaa,
Kent county agricultural agent.
Ground, raw soybeans are a
good source of protein. And,
when mixed with corn-and-cob
meal, they make a money-sav-
ing dairy ration that's hard to
beat" he said.
He recommends that between
$50 to 200 pounds of molasses
be added to each ton of feed.
The molasses will cut down
dust and make the ration more
palitable.
The county agent said that
recent research shows that soy
beans fed to dairy cows result
ed in a slightly higher fat test.
Several dairymen in the coun-
ty are pleased with the results
of a feed ration which uses 1900
lbs. of corn and cob meal; 500
lbs. of raw, ground soybeans;
$50 lbs. of molasses; 20 lbs. of
salt; and 20 lbs. of dicalcium
phosphate. Steve Szelesti of
Hartly is one farmer who plans
to try it. His request for this
information suggests that 9TH
ers may want to try it.
Dairymen using raw, ground
soybeans in dairy feeds should
not use any supplements which
contain urea Mr.. Vapaa warned.
Soybeans react with urea to
give off amonia making the feed
unpalatable. He also pointed
out that raw soybeans should
not be fed to young dairy cal
yes.

Nobody Can Win

Some wag has described our farm price
support program as the worlds biggest bad
minton game. And you may be able to guess
who the shuttlecock is. He is John Q. Tax
payer, and he is pretty dizzy over being bat
tered around coming and going.
He pays to export US cotton, wheat and
other commodities whose cost has been
pushed above world prices by high supports
He pays more for his food and fiber. He
meets the payroll for the armies of govern
ment employees required to run these pro-
grams.
The taxpayer puts up 81 billion year just
to store the approximately $40 billion worth
of agricultural commodities currently in gov
ernment hands, Spoilage in the three fiscal
years ending last July 1st cost him $85 mil
lion. He agrees with Agriculture Secretary
Ezra Benson who has stated flatly: "The
costs of the price support program are stag
gerng indefensible."
In his continuing efforts to melt down
the high and rigid support levels, to reduce
these unconscionable surpluses and relieve
the bleeding taxpayer, Mr.. Benson needs and
deserves the wholehearted support of an
aroused and abused public. He points out
that obsolete program rooted in the depres-
sion-bred Agricultural Act of 1888, has Gre
ated non-farm vested interests dedicated to
the perpetuation of surplus-stuffed ware

tortions throughout our agricultural econo-
my :. placed ceiling over farm opportun-
tiles =. enmeshed farmers in a network of

Of onr people to regard all farm programs

How far the current program is out-of-
joint is indicated by the fact that while
wheat, cotton and corn account for less than
20 percent of farm cash income, they repre-
sent IS percent of government price-support
spending. Furthermore, the lions share of
support money goes to the big farm, mighty
little to the small farmers
That farmers, themselves, are unhappy,
is apparent from the nationwide Farm Journ-
al survey of 1859. 1t showed that 78 percent
of farmers poled favored less supports, few

But that is not the whole story He is
at another disadvantage, for this money will
not buy as much as it did in 1899.
From it must be deducted an additional
$2,O65, which represents loss in purchasing
power, as determined by the Conference
Board study.
All boiled down, the average Noble couln-
ty wage Garner, if he could have had an in
come like his present one during the 1889 era,
would have had an effective $10,350 a year,
based on present day costs.
Conversely, the S5,OO0-a-year man of
1899, would have to be earning $12037 now
to be left with the same purchasing power
after federal taxes and initiation have taken
their shares.
The $4,000 income of 1889 could be no
less than $7,l55 today just to break even in
terms of former purchasing power, states the
board.
Despite high taxes and initiation, however,
living standards locally are better today.
The answer is that incomes have risen faster
than costs have.

Healthy Expansion

Here is one more evidence that
Canada, while going through a
period of rapid growth, is more
and more financing her own eco
nomic expansion.
According to a study made by
the Committee of Canadian In
vestment Companies, Canada has
invested a total of $45 billion
since 1854 for new public and
private construction, facilities,
machinery and equipment, and
has generated about 70 per cent
of this amount from her growing
domestic capital resources.
The ability of Canada to fl
nance 70 per cent of her economic
expansion and social advance
ment during this six-year period
demonstrates that our good
neighbor to the north has built
sound foundation for steady,
orderly growth.
A most encouraging facet of
this capital expansion is that the
lions share has gone into the
private enterprise sector of the
Canadian economy. This has con-
tributed, is contributing and will
continue to contribute to business
expansion and improved earn
ings over a wide range Of Cana
dian industries.
We are happy to witness and
congratulate the Dominion on
this healthy expansion. ''F

Local Incomes

Some idea of the extent to which taxes
and initiation affect the income of the average
wage-earner in Noble county may be OBJ
tanned from new study released by the
National Industrial Conference Board.
1t shows that he gets less than half the
mileage out of his dollar that he would have
gotten in 1889.
Take the figures on net income in Noble
county, compiled by the Standard Rate and
Data Service for the last fiscal year. They
averaged S3,7S4 per household. Adjusted
to gross amounts before tax and social secur
ity deductions, they show that the earned
income locally was $4408 per household.
A married man with two children, who
had such earnings available to him in 1889,
would have to pay S51 in federal income and
social security taxes, the study reveals
There would have been left a comfortable
S4,357 to take care of other taxes, including
state and local, food, shelter, clothing and
the rest.
Today, in contrast, man in that bracket
must turn back $3.50 in us. income and Soc
ial security taxes. This cuts his spendable

According to "Steel Facts"
official organ of the American
Iron and Steel Institute" the
world outlay for Steel Expan-
sion during 1860 will total be-
tween S412 billion and SIS billion.
Approximately SIG billion, or
about one-third of the world
outlay is scheduled to be spent
by companies in the United
States.
Russia, second largest steel
making nation, which produced
about 20 percent of the worlds
steel last year, against our 20
percent, it is estimated will spend
about 81 billion for new iron and
steel facilities this year.
Statistics, we realize, are never
too glamorous, but we pass these
on to the readers of this column
to let them know that we are
keeping well ahead of the Rus
SLAMS in current steel production
and in preparation for maintain
ing that advantage.
A less encouraging note is that,
due in large degree to the 116-
day steel strike, during 1859 for
the first time in Sc years, our
American imports of steel ex-
ceeded our exports. Our ex-
ports were at the lowest level
since 1886 - some 1,507,930 tons
against imports of 4,391,791 tons
(twice the previous high set in
1851 during the Korean War;.

SENSIBLE APPROACH TO
SCHOOL PROBLEM
BY George Peck

1t has been pretty wen prov
en- that all the clamor for Fed
eral aid to education is un-
called for. There seems to be
no need for the Federal Gov
ernment to stick its messy,
debilitating fingers into the
financing and administration
of the school systems of the
individual states. Those in
dividual states can take care
of their own educational prob
lens, at all school levels.
The State of North Carolina
appointed a committee to make
a study of its high schools. The
result of that study indicates
that today's school problems
are not SO much a shortage of
classroomS and teachers as
shortage of common sense of
what is being taught to our
teen-agerS in the high schools.

They will be presented to

next week, with the suggestion
that they be adopted in the
class rooms as soon as possible.

puted to have spelled his name
differently every time he signed
it, and Churchill is noted for
having used a proposition to
end a sentence with" every
school graduate should be able
to communicate his ideas in
lucid English.
How many of us wish that
we had had more discipline in
the structural fundamentals of
mathematics when the time
comes to fill an income tax
form or tally up a bank state
ment Cor even the grocery
bilD?
AS jet planes shrink the
world to the point where it is
commonplace to have break
fast on one side of the Atlantic
and dinner on the other, the
need for a knowledge of for
eign languages and for social
sciences grows apace. Our
neighbors are no longer just
the folks on 'tother side of the
mountain; they are the folks
on the other side of the world.
Which of us has not marvel
ed at the meteoric progress of
scientific development in the
past decades and has not
wished he had if only a smat-
tering of comprehension of
thermodynamics, meteorology,
electricity Or vibration and
sound?
We shall watch with keen
interest the progress of the
committees recommendations
and whether Or not they are
adopted in toto, we hope that
every citizen will give serious
thought to what they could
mean to the future of our state
and our nation.

Summer blizzards are very

usually the cleanest areas, which
indicates that campers, for the

One unusual case along this
line came to the attention of
the Division of Wildlife last fall.
A group of hunters was asking
a farmer for permission to hunt,
and he was about to refuse them
since several hunters were al
ready on his land. Looking in
their car, the farmer saw a con-
