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.
