WE can never be sure just what
makes an infant restless, but
the remedy can. always be the same.
Good old Castoria! There's comfort in
every drop of this pure vegetable prep
aration, and not the slightest harm in its
frequent use. As often as Baby has a
fretful spell, is feverish, or cries and can't
sleep, let Gastoria soothe and quiet him.
Sometimes it's a touch of colic. Some
times constipation. Or diarrhea •— a
condition that should always be checked
without delay. Just keep Castoria handy
and give it promptly. Relief will follow
very promptly; if it doesn't you should
call a physician.

CAN MAKE PROFIT
ON HOMEGROWN HAY j
Tarheel farmers purchase annual-!
ly about 500,000 tons of hay from j
outside of North Carolina. Usually j
freight charges on this purchased
hay amount to more than the actual j
cost of the material itself.
"The logical way to offset this
heavy annual cost is to grow hay at!
home," suggests C. A. Sheffield, as-1
sistant extension director at State ;
College. "For instance, I was at
High Point a few days ago to ad
dress the county club of farm men
and women. A person there said al
falfa hay shipped from Nebraska to
High Point cost $32.75 a ton deliv
ered. The actual cost of the hay was
only $14 a ton but the freight char
ges were $18.75. The department of
Agricultural Economics at StateCol
lege finds that good legume hay ia
grown by North Carolina farmers
for $12.05 a ton, adding in all costs.
Following this through, we can see
that North Carolina could make a
profit of about five million dollars a
year by growing at home the hay
which is now imported.
In other words, says Mr. Sheffield,
North Carolina farmers could keep
at home the sum of about ten mil
lion dollars now spent outside the
State for hay and one half of this
would be clear profit. Nor is it neces
sary to attempt the growing of al
falfa hay. Soybeans produce hay
about equal in feeding value to al
falfa. There are other legumes
which make an excellent and untri
tiou9 hay.
Some expansion in the hay acre
age of the State has already been
made, Mr. Sheffield finds. In 1930,
the acreage was increased by 10.5
percent over. 1929 and indications
are now that the acreage will be still
further increased by 12 percent this
season. The probable increase this
year alone will be worth about one
and one-half million dollars to North
Carolina^ farmers, he says.

er slogan has been added to the
"Live-at-Home" program in North
Carolina—"Preserve Your Food and

bles, fruits and other food crops
grown on the farms and gardens of
the state from now on until cold
weather comes.
Canning demonstrations, which
were begun on April 1st in Martin
county, are now being conducted in
a campaign which is moving gradu
ally westward from its beginning in
the east of the state. Mrs. Cornelia
C. Morris, district home agent and
acting specialist in food conserva
tion, and Mrs. W. G. Standi, assis
tant specialist in food conservation,
are doing the work, under the direc
tion of Mrs. Jane S. McKimmon, as
sistant director of State College Ex
tension, and Dean I. 0. Schaub, di
rector.
The campaign will run until the
last of July and dates for such dem
onstrations will ^ be given wide
spread publicity well in advance.
Literature about canning and other
such topics is available and can be

IN A NUTSHELL
Thirty years ago the population j
of the United States was 81 .ono,000
and the average person contributed
$19.39 in taxes to support govern
ment.
In 1928, the last year for which
complete official statistics are avail
able, the population was; 120,000,
000 and the per capita tax had in
creased to $105.20. And now Sena
tors are figuring how to raise in
come tax rates to cover the $500,
000,000 treasury deficit that follow-:
ed the last congress.
Here is the tax situation in a nut
shell. It should give the people some
thing to think about.
