Hog Numbers
Continue Growing
North Carolina's growth in
the pork industry apparently
will continue at a fairly rapid
clip during the remainder of the
year and into at least the early
part of 1977.
The latest estimate of
planned expansion, as measured
by farmer intentions to
farrow (produce pigs) this fall,
indicates that 95,000 litters will
be farrowed September—November.
This would be a 14 per
cent increase over the same
period last yea!-.
Intentions to farrow during
the December 1976—February
1977 period are up 7 per cent to
124.000 farrowings. according
to the Federal-State Crop and
Livestock Reporting Service.
The estimate of all hogs and
pigs on Tar Heel farms as of
Sept. 1 was roughly 2.1 million
head, an increase of 13 per cent
from a year ago. Of this Sept. 1
total. 320,000 head are being
kept for breeding.
«»i n~Ti ^ n=rr
The breeding hogs are up 12
per cent from last year and
the number of market hogs is
up 14 per cent.
The anticipated expansion
would come on the heels of
rapid growth during the
summer quarter, point out
North Carolina State llniver
sity extension specialists. They
can adciHion to the fact that
the state, which ranks seventh
in number of hogs, increased
production 23 per cent in the
.June August period.
Sows farrowing in that
period totaled around 116,000,
producing 870.000 pi<rs for an
average litter size of 7.5.
.v >urvev oi 14 major
prodticinr states, includine
North Carolina, indicated that
.iiiuii.ii* invontorv was up 17
per cent as of Sept. 1 The
number of breeding hogs was
up 13 per cent and market hogs
up 18 per cent.

Your Child's Sight
Don't expect a child to tell
you if he has vision problems.
Even if his seeing is blurred,
double, or through only one eye,
without any point of comparison
he has no way of knowing
that what he sees should be any
different.
I«ook for such clues as execs
si ve eye rubbing, shutting one
eye, difficulty with close work,
blinking, squinting, frowning,
sensitivity to light. inflamed or
watery eyes, recurring sties or
itching and burning, say ex

This Is The Law
By ROBERT E. LEE
Henry Brown, a wealthy and
highly respected man, met
Mary Green, an attractive
young woman, while attending
a religious convention. Mary
appeared very retiring and shy,
and represented to him that she
was a virgin and had never
used intoxicating beverages or
cigarettes. Henry married
Mary.
When they attempted to
register at a resort hotel on the
first night of their honeymoon,
the night clerk refused to
assign them to a room. The
hotel clerk informed Henry that
prostitutes were not permitted
to register at the hotel.
Upon further inquiries,
Henry discovered that Mary
had been convicted on prostitution
charges several times, and
was also an alcoholic —
definitely not the kind of girl
she had represented herself to
be.
Henry did not continue his
honeymoon. He abandoned
Mary in the lobby, and has not
since seen her. May Henry have
his marriage annulled?
No. Mary is the legal wife of
Henry, and he must maintain
and support her.
"Prenuptial unchastity" is
not a ground for annulment or
divorce in North Carolina and
most other states.
Legally. Henry was not
justified in abandoning his
bride and cannot dissolve the
marriage by a divorce obtained
on the ground of a year's
separation if Mary contests the
action.
Virginians rebeled against
their British governor 100
years before the American
Revolution.
Falls Short
Today's coffee may provide a
hrisk lift, but it falls far short of
qualities attributed to it bv the
first known advertisement, the
National Geographic Society
savs. The ad informed Londoners
in 1652: "Coffee quickens
the spirits and makes the heart
lightsome, is good against sore
eyes, excellent to preserve and
cure dropsy, gout and scurvy,
and is neither a laxative nor
restringent."
Both varsity teams from John Graham captured the conference titles and were presented with
championship trophies for their accomplishments. In the photo above, Lorraine Williams,
co-captain, holds the team trophy and in the picture below, Thomas ITutt) Taylor holds the boys'
trophy.
Tea was introduced to America
by the Dutch.
