PAGE TWO Italy Hogs Annually Lost By Pneumonia Healthy Breeding and Growing Quarters of j iVital Importance Says County Agent ' *We lose a number of hogs each year from pneumonia and flu,” says N. K. Rowell, Chowan County farm agent, which he says may be pre vented by having comfortable shelt ers and keeping the hogs in a good healthy and growing condition. “When a hog has one of these dis-1 eases,” says Mr. Rowell, "it should be separated from the herd and plac ed in comfortable quarters and given a dose of epsom salts and lifht soft feeds. Sick animals should be giv en plenty of sunshine and allowed to take natural exercise when they feel like getting around. Milk and ground feeds will help in such cases. By proper treatment such diseases can be controlled and many that would otherwise die, brought back to health. “A very important feature of hog is a balanced ration and minerals. Corn is the main hog ra tion but should be supplemented with protein feeds such as cotton seed meal, soybean meal, meat protein feeds such as tankage, fish meal or milk. A good mineral mixture can be prepared by any farmer. Ten pounds of acid phosphate or bone ■wad, ten pounds of lime and two pounds of salt, will make an excellent mineral mixture for hogs. This mix tore is needed for the development Its bone and the prevention of rickets. >: *3 know of no animal on the farm ol more importance than the family . now. The entire feeds for the pro •c'dnation of milk can be raised on any -tijfaaar .farms in the county. A good pasteup; ran be maintained, both permanent and temporary. Hays, «m* as peanut, soy beans and vetch r«" bg. raised. A mixed feed made fteom. cc&tton seed meal, soy bean s jbb&ll, corn meal and ground oats to ' supplement the hay and pasteure can be 'grown here. During these days when farmers need money for other -flihrgSj I feel that more attention shook! be given the old family cow. TV milk will feed the babies, the and the pigs. The pigs and eggs from the hens can be sold, leaving all the manure on the farm to build up our soil for better days which we all hope to see.” Tar Heel Farmers Get AAA Millions ( North Carolina farmers received ( $8,893,691.05 up to August 13 for their participation in the 1937 agri-, cultural conservation program, E. Y. Floyd, of State College, has an nounced. Last year, he continued, growers of this State earned some $9,350,000 by regulating their acreage of soil-! depleting crops and by carrying out son-building practices. Only about $456,300 remains to be paid. The AAA also gave North Caro-, lina farmers $11,932.52, up to May - 31, in "grants of aid”; that is, triple-, superphosphate given farmers in lieu of part of their payments. Floyd added that up to May 31,' some $542,100 had been set aside forj county AAA associations to defray the co 1 * of administering the pro gram locally. Around 143,000 fanners signed work sheets for participating in the prog-ram last year, he continued, and some 256,000 farms are covered by work sheets this year. At least 99 per cent of the farms in the State are covered by work sheets that qualify them to take part in the program. Floyd pointed out that Tar Heel growers as a whole can earn consider ably more this year then they did in 1937 if they don’t over-plant their j soil-depleting crops and if they carry out all the soil-building practices re-, commended for their farms under the i program. Among the practices for improving the soil are: terracing, applying lime and phosphate, reseeding pastures, growing legumes and turning under green manure crops. ENTERTAIN AT SUPPER Mr. and Mrs. E.

Need For Pastures | In Albemarle Area Fertility of Soil Large ly Dependent Upon Number of livestock On Farms From the standpoint of a better agriculture and a better balanced program of farming, more pastures and livestock are needed in this sec tion, in the opinion of N. K. Rowell. “In most cases, the wealth of our land is in proportion to the fertility of the soil,” says Mr. Rowell. “All soils increase in fertility in propor tion to the number of livestock. “A friend of mine stated once that he had never made any money from livestock, but had never made any money until he had gotten some live stock. It is well said that: “No forage, no livestock. “No livestock, no manure. “No manure, no forage. “I have recently learned that in one county in this State last year, the farmers borrowed one hundred thous and dollars from the Government for crop production. This same county was called on to give more relief to ' its people last winter than any other I county in the State. Yet, an adjoin- j ' ing county, with a balanced program iof agriculture, borrowed very little ( I money from the crop production loan ! and called for the least relief work : for its people. Pastures, livestock. j and a balanced program makes the : difference, and a balanced program includes a good home garden. I “To have a good pasture, it is nec essary to give it proper attention, as to preparation, fertilization and, j seeding. It is well to have a perma-. ' nent pasture, but a temporary pas ' ture will help out during the hot dry i season and during the winter months. 1 For a good permanent pasture plant I oats at the rate of one bushel per I I acre and 15 pounds of lespedeza, 15 i pounds of carpet grass and 5 pounds *of dallis grass. The oats are disked in after the land is prepared and the other seed lightly harrowed in. Tem porary pastures can be had by sow ing oats, barley, spring vetch, Canada peas, soybeans and Sudan grass...” BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT Born to Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Wil son, Thursday morning, a son, James !

ALL WORK GUARANTEED YOUR BUSINESS WILL BE APPRECIATED '■T ' " : THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. a, THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, y 938 | Behind The Scenes In American Business ! New York—Business Progress is still being made, though slowly, in the nrVion’s fight for economic recov ery. Operations in America’s huge steel mills last week rose to 40 per cent of capacity for the first time since November. An estimated 24,000 men were returned to work in the Ford River Rouge plant. PWA pre dicted that work will begin at early dates on about $800,000,000 of non federal construction activity. Plenty of jobs there. Inventories of automo bile dealers, according to Secretary of Commerce Roper, are now at the lowest point in four years. AAA of ficials believe that loans are now man datory on the current cotton crop in as much as the price on 10 designated spot markets has fallen to 8.20 cents a pound. Such loans would halt any further decline in the purchasing power of cotton growers. Looking ahead, experts of the Bureau of Agri cultural Economics foresee a gradual improvement for business during the fall and winter months. Washington—The new Civil Aeron autics Authority begins to function here this week. Airline executives are looking for this agency to help iron out some of the problems con fronting their industry. Though the j airlines have experienced an amazing ! traffic growth, they still serve only a relatively small percentage of the people who travel around the country every day. Last year, for example, while the airlines carried 1,100,000 passengers, the railroads transported 497,300,000. Much larger planes than : the present 21-passenger ships in gen -1 eral use on major airlines are now available. The new Douglas DC-4 now undergoing test flights on the ! west coast can carry 40 passengers. 1 It is the* world’s largest land trans port plane, having a wing spread of 135 feet. Much of its equipment too qualifies as the world’s “largest.” Its I tires, for instance, built by the B. F. Goodrich Company, stand five feet five inches, weigh 360 pounds each and contain 45 miles of tire cord. If traffic can be boosted sufficiently to warrant the use of these larger planes, real operating economies prob ably could be effected by the airlines. The Shoemaker—Today very few “shoemakers” actually make shoes. They repair them. The name simply j is a carryover from the pre-machine I age when the shoe repair-man also j was the man who made the shoes, iln America there are some 85,000. shoe repair shops, owned largely by men of Italian or Greek extraction. This is more than there were in 1929, the reason being that in good times people often throw away shoes with out bothering to have them re-soled or je-heeled. The demand for shoe repair work therefore improves when general business gets worse and vice versa. It is estimated that the an nual business done by shoe repair shops in America amounts to approxi mately $125,000,000, making an ex ceptionally low average of only $1,500 per store. About 35 per cent of what the shoe repairer charges for fixing a pair of shoes goes for leather, rub ber and other materials. Total busi ness done 20 years ago was $550,000,- 000 and 15 years ago $375,000,000. In those days new shoes were more ex pensive than nowadays, and people had their shoes repaired over and over before discarding them.

For reliable reports indicate that shortly after Labor Day furniture re tailers plan to advance prices from five to 10 per cent. The reason is that the cost of lumber and other raw materials has been going up during the last few months and manu facturers are finding it difficult to supply wholesalers and retailers with furniture at former prices. If the expected increases take effect, furni ture prices would be restored to ap proximately the level prevailing last year. The furniture industry has not suffered to the same extent as others during the business downswing of the last 12 months.
