As the setting sun streamed its shadows like one last salute or? the famous golden dome of Notre Dame, all that was mortal <?? the greatest fighter <?! the "Fighting Irish" was lowered Saturday evening into the grave. It war a simple farewell that the world of -ports, the hoys who fought for him, and the holy fathers with whom he worked and worshiped, gave him. Yet it was 'nipressive. It tugged the heart strings not oii!\ of Notr? Darne. the nation, and his rivals in life, but it saddened a world, which v;as represented at his cript and the Saturday services.

Rockne was killed in the crash Thursday of a transport plane in K Kansas. Thousands were forced to forego admission to Sacred Heart Church hecause of the lack of room.

RAJSES TON PORK FROM EIGHT PIGS 4-H Cluo Boy ofc Chatham County Fakes Over Scrubby Litter an<) Through Scientific Methods, Bresks County Recoid. Producing a ton of perk with as many as ten pigs in a titter is not an I unusual accomplishment in North j Carolina but to grow this much meat with eight pigs during a feeding peII iod of 120 days is unusual. "This is what Alfred Straughn, a 4-H Club boy of Chatham County, ! did last year to establish a new ret> j ord for his county," says I.. R. Har| rill, State club agent. "The eight pigs weighed 140 pounds total when young Straughn began his feeding demonstration. At the conclusion of the 120-day peiiod. the eight animals weighed 2-080 pounds, gaining two pounds per pig per day through the entire period.*' Mr. Harrill says Alfred's feed rec' ord shows that he gave the animals 2.280 pounds of corn meal, 52 bushels of shelled coin, 5S0 pounds of l'ish meal and 525 pounds of shorts. After deducting the purchase price of the fish meal and shorts and the initial value of the pigs, the boy received $1.22 a bushel for the corn fed. But in addition to learning about j the value of good feeding and keeping systematic records, Alfred also sold the idea to his father. Mr. Straughn senior said. "They were undoubtedly the poorest bunch of pigs we have ever had on the farm. I never would have believed the gains they made were possible had I not seen the test with my own eyes." ! So encouraged was the youthful nig club member that he has start! ed*another bunch of pigs on feed this spring. The animals will be ready for the high market in iatc- August ; or early September.
