PARR IN CHARGE OF
AI BREEDING PROGRAM
C. B. Parr, Jr., breeding tech
nician, has been placed in
charge of the breeding program
of the 'Newberry Cooperative
breeding association, which has
completed its organization and
is now ready to breed dairy
cows.
Breeding of dairy cattle is
available to all owners of milk
cows, both grade and registered,
in Newberry County. Mr. Parr
will be available for work on
all week days and the first and
third Sundays of each month.
The necessary procedure for
this breeding service is as fol
ios: fasten the cow to be bred
in a stall or stanchion and leave
her there until the technician
arrives. Have someone present
to identify the cow to be bred.
Call the county agent’s office,
phone 248, and report the breed
desired, either guernsey or jer
sey. All cows to be bred should
be reported daily before 10:30
a. m.
County Agent P. B. Ezell
stresses the fact that the $5.00
service fee is small enough to
enable cow owners and moder
ate sized herd owners to breed
artificially cheaper than they
could feed a bull, without re
gard to the purchase price of
a well-bred herd sire.
The association executive com
mittee, composed of Claude Sat-
terwhite. Furman Epps and Wil
liam Senn, invite the public to
visit the artificial breeding lab
oratory, located in the county
agent’s office, any day between
8:00 and 10:30 a m.
Additional instructions con
cerning the use of this associa
tion will appear from time to
time in The Sun.

Claims for compensation by
those who felt the brunt of war,
often raise questions puzzling
to the veteran. Answers to
some of the questions more fre
quently asked have been ob
tained from VA authorities, and
are presented in this column by
The Sun as a service to our
veterans.
Q. I was told that my dis
ability, which I claim was due
to service, cannot be service-
connected because I had it be
fore I entered service. Am I
eligible for compensation?
A. If VA decides that your
ailment was incurred in or ag
gravated by your service in
the armed forces you will be en
titled to receive compensation
or pension, if it exists to a com
pensable degree.
Q. I am a veteran of World
War I and would like to know
if there is any limit for filing
a claim for compensation for
disability caused by my war
service?
A. There is no time limit set
for filing claim for compensa
tion under existing legislation,
but delay beyond the first year
after discharge would preclude
retroactive payments to date of
discharge.
Q. I was practically compelled
to sign a statement before my
discharge that my disability ex
isted prior to my enlistment.
Will this prevent my receiving
compensation?
A. Any statement of this na
ture, according to the Service
men’s Readjustment Act (G. I.
Bill), which you made at dis
charge is considered null and
void. Decision as to service con
nection of the disability will be
made by Veterans Administra
tion based on the service medi
cal record, evidence in file at
the time the decision is render
ed, and sound and accepted
medical principles, excluding the
statement made at time of dis
charge.
(Veterans wishing further in
formation about veterans’ bene
fits may have their questions
answered by writing the near
est VA Regional Office.)

Fish hooks are not “just
hooks.” that hook is your busi
ness contact with a fish, and
according to Arthur H. Carhart;
outdoor writer, you should
choose it as carefully as your
rod and reel.
When a fish strikes, whether
the hook sinks and holds, or
tears out, or merely rakes, is
largely determined by hook de
sign. Here are two easy ways
to check design.
First, hold a hook at a 45-
degree angle and parallel to a
hard surface, so the eye of the
hook rests on the surface at one
end. the outer side of the point
at the other. When a line is
under pulling strain, the force
supplied to sink the point of
the hook is in the direction of
the pulled line. If the point
of the hook above lies fairly
flat to the surface, the “drive”
of the point will be close to
the line of traction. That’s
what you want in a hook.
As a further check, loop a
small piece of thread in the
eye of a hook and set the hook
up as above on a piece of loose
ly woven cloth such as a bath
towel, or use a soft, thick blot
ter. Have the point and eye
touching the /surface and the
hook upright. A pull on the
thread will send the point into
the cloth somewhat as it would
enter the tissue of a fish’s
mouth. As the .point enters,
shank leverage and depth of
bend will change the direction
of the point, and you’ve a
rough demonstiation of what
happens when a hook is set.
Remember that the farther
the angle of the point of a hook
varies from the direct line of
traction, the greater the angle
will be from direct thrust as it
engages tissue, and the more
likely it is that the hook will
rake or tear out.
It’s like driving a nail into
wood. If you hit the nail
straight, with the hammer blow
in line with it, it sinks more
easily. If you hit it at an
angle, it doesn’t enter the wood
so readily.
