They left this week Food Production To Be Paramount In Coming Year Dodson, County Agt., Points Out Some Ways Jn In Which Brunswick County Farmers May Increase Hog Production SAYS TOO MA-NY YOUNG PIGS DIE A Number Of Pigs Die When Less Than A Week Old, Says Raper, And Saving of These Pigs Will Mean Increased Production Secretary of Agriculture Claude A. Wickard, has asked that the American farmers increase their foodstuffs enough in proportion to take care of the needs for j 1943 in feeding the army, navy and the civilian population within the bounds of the United States and to help feed our allies in other nations. He has asked that Brunswick County farmers increase their hog production by 15 per cent over 1942 production, which was the largest production on record for Columbus County. The increase in hog production can be reached very easily by Columbus County farmers by practicing strict swine sanitation, according to J. E. Dodson, County Agent. A number of our pigs die less than a week old and it iu impossible to increase production with dead pigs. Therefore, by saving: young pigs, which can be done under a strict sanitation and management, this increased production can be reached without increasing brood sows to any great extent. Farmers should prepare in advance of the sow farrowing and should clean the sow thoroughly a day or two prior to farrowing and put her in a pen that has been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. This little attention should increase our hrogs in Brunswick County by 15 per cent to 25 per cent. Be sure to have a sufficient amount of clean water for pigs and it is important that a mineral mixture be kept before the sow and pigs at all times. "" ? innrno cine Anoiiier Ultra no M.v.v?.~.0 our pork production in Brunswick County is to increase the slaughter weight of the pigs before mar-1 keting. This is one of the most) simple ways of increasing our: pork production. The weights of top hogs have been increased from 180 to 225 pounds to 300 pounds. With the shortage of animal protein, Mr. Raper suggests that the animal protein be fed to sows and young pigs and use .more vegetable protein in the feed for larger hogs. Vegtable protein consists of soyban oil meal, cottonseed meal, and peanut oil (Continued on page 6) Defense Meet Will Be Held Bolivia School Will Be Scene Of Civilian Defense Tomorrow ( Thursday ) Night At 7:30 O'clock E.

Plaxco, manager of the Brunswick Navigation Company, was advised yesterday by naval authorities that the order requisitioning two of the boats belonging to his company had been rescinded. Several weeks ago it was reported that the W. P. Anderson and the John SI. Morehead would be taken over by the navy for patrol duty. The boats were to have been dellv- | ered at Curtis Bay, Md., on December 20, but these arrangements were never carried out. | On the basis of the order yesterday to Mr. Plaxco it Is presumed that government has derided that there is greater need for patrol boats than for | enlargement of the patrol fleet. Dressings Output Off In December Holidays Interferred With Efforts Of Surgical Dressings Unit To Meet Quota Requirements The month of December showed a great decrease in the number of surgical dressings made in the local wontrouiu. jiucuuauw, dropped off alarmingly because of the Christmas season. Only thirty-nine out of the one hundred twenty women who have worked on this type of Red Cross volunteer servic wer active during the month. 4,480 dressings were made, 324 hours were put in by the women. It was largely through the efforts of a few that the workroom was kept open. The workroom was closed during Christmas week so the above figures are for a month of j three weeks. Mrs. J. Arthur was the only Southport lady who won her production pin for fifty hours. This brings the number of 50hour workers to twelve. Mrs. W. H. Walker passed the 100-hour mark in this month and received a second gold star before her name on the roll. There are a number who will receive their 50hour pins soon. The workroom is open on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, from 2 to 5 in the afternoon and j from 7:30 to 10 at night It is in I the Army-Navy building and vol-1 unteers are welcome, as they are I very badly needed.

' Flying Tackle I To Stop Si One of the first things that a hunter learns about a deer is to keep away from a dying animal, but in the excitement of the chase several days ago Ernest Swain, of Orton tower, completely forgot the rules of safety. Seeing a buck he had shot down arise to his feet and j start off again, Swain executed a flying tackle and pulled down the deer. With one arm about its neck, he pulled his knife from his pocket and stuck it in the animal's throat, preparatory to severing the jugular vein. The desperate beast made one teriffic lunge, pulled away from his human assailant and broke away into the brush.

Consequently approval ivas withheld or a provisional rating given. These wartime casualties are more than balanced by the earning of approval by some lospitals which have improved since the last survey. Nevertheless, great shifts of population I iue to new and relocated war iniustries, and establishment of large military encampments, have caused excessive demands for hospital service in some communities, md there is increasing danger of lowered standards in the effort to care for more patients than the depleted staffs can properly serve.

Most Of The News All The Time $1.50 PER YEAR War Board To Help Mobilize Nation's Farms County USDA War Board Throughout N. C. Have Been Given Definite Responsibility In This Regard JANUARY 12 MADE MOBILIZATION DAY President Says He Would Like Farm Mobilization Day To Be A Symbol Of Free America; Symbol Of Might And Productivity County USD A War Boards throughout North Carolina have been charged with the responsibility of directing preparations for the observance of National Farm Mobilization Day in individual counties on Tuesday, January 12, according to G. T. Scott, chairman of the State USDA War Board, with headquarters at State College. National Farm Mobilization Day has been proclaimed by President Roosevelt with the request that farmers meet with representatives of the U. S. Department of Agriculture and other agricultural agencies on that day to discuss ways and means of insuring maximtim production of vital food crops in 1943. County War Rnards are made ud of renre sentatives of each of the Department agencies oprating in the county. < In his proclamation, the President said, "I should like Farm Mobilization Day to be a symbol of a free America; a symbol of of a free America; a symbol of the might and productivity of our nation; and a symbol of our unalterable determination to put to , full use our agricultural resour- / ces, as well as other resources, in the achievement of complete victory." N? North Carolina's food produc* V tion goals fcr 1943 aJrudy have been pre r.iid to 1 Jo'uiity USDA W.r.Pin i se.?!s..f district, t meetings sponsored by the State _ War Board. Following National i Farm Mobilization Day, county and community AAA committeemen and others will begin a canvass of individual farmers tc obtain pledges for growing war crops next year. ^ "Every farmer in North Carolina will have his war job to do in 1943," Scott declared. "Wc must increase our production of certain food crops above the record levels of 1942. Mobilization Day is the time for every farm family in the State to resolve to throw its entire resources behind the 1943 production program. North Carolina farmers have never failed their State and Nation, and they won't fail in this job." Railroad Case May Be Heard Governor Broughton Has Been Requested To Call Special Term Of Court ? For Purpose In February Governor Broughton has been asked to call a special term of superior court to be held here, beginning February 15th, to hear claims against the receivers of the Wilmington Brunswick and Southern railroad. The request was made by attorneys for the government and by Judge Henry A. Grady. Suits against the railroad have been in progress for two years. The ODT has been proposing the abandonment of this railroad along with other small railroads, , for the avowed purpose of secur- ing rails and rolling stock on other railroads. E. F. Middleton, receiver for the railroad, and other interested parties are opposing the move for the abandonment of the road. The W. B. & S. has no rolling stock of its own and the amount of rails secured if abandonment was ordered- would appear be negiliblev It is contended by Middleton and other interests opposing the abandonment that the railroad is a vital link between Wilmington and Southport. Southport Boy Is Recovering Victor Earl Cox, Southport boy serving in Australia, writes his mother, Mrs. Mary Cox, that he was discharged from the base hospital on December I5th and is now back in active service. It is understood that he was shot in the leg, below the knee. His letter was very optimistic regarding an early and successful conclusion of tlie war. j ~i <
