Hogs Need
Plenty Of Shade And
Water Hot Days
Hogs need plenty of shade
and plenty of water If they are
to make cheap gains during the
summer, according to Jack Kel
ley, extension animal husband
ry specialist at State college.
Test after test conducted by
experiment stations, he said,
shows' that hogs kept cool dur
ing hot weather will eat better
and gain faster. Plenty of shade
and water, he added, mean
lewer dead pigs and faster
gains so that hogs can be plac
ed on the market earlier in the
fall when prices are usually
higher.
'?Hogs are different from most
animals in that they do not
have sweat glands to act as a
cooling system," Mr. Kelley
stated. "Tneretore, it is abso
lutely necessary that they have
plenty of water and shade to
help in keeping them cool. The
thick layer of fat on swine
serves as an Insulator and
makes it necessary that water
and shade k provided."

MERES ffOMf "lorth Carolina
Cities, Towns and Counties are using
TAX REVENUE
Last November, $1,784,821 in beer taxes (representing
July, August and September collections) was distributed
to North Carolina municipalities and counties wherein
beer is licensed to be sold. How is this money being used ?
The results of a recent survey hold great interest lor the
State's taxpayers:
Twenty-six municipalities and 28
counties report that the new beer
revenue would enable them to RE
DUCE TAXES, and three other
counties said it would help in that
direction. Thirty-four municipali
ties and 34 coonties indicated it
would aid in PREVENTING
TAX INCREASES. Other welcome uses included MEET
ING INCREASED EXPENSES
and APPLICATION ON DEBT
SERVICE.
In some instances, EXTRA CITY
AND RURAL POLICEMEN are
being employed from the funds, re
sulting in improved law enforcement.
Other uses include STREET IMPROVEMENTS, PUR
CHASE OF EQUIPMENT
and SANITARY SEWERAGE
EXTENSION.
SCHOOL BUILDINGS are be
ing planned, SCHOOL EXPEN
SES met, and county HEALTH
AND WELFARE programs
" jy ~i' tomn M financed ? from beer tax revenue.
Other constructive utilization of these funds includes:
COUNTY LIBRARY
BUILDING, NEW
FIRE STATION,
COURTHOUSE EN
LARGEMENT, PUR
CHASE OF PROPER
TY for county purposes.
And so on ? an impres
sive array of sorely need
ed services and facilities made possible by the apportionment of
beer tax revenue to towns, cities and counties licensing the sale
of beer.
^JSING 1947 beer taxes as a
basis for estimate, nearly $4,
000,000 of this "bonus" revenue is
anticipated for North Carolina
municipalities and counties this
year ? money that will relieve the
burden of hard-pressed taxpayers.
Safeguarding these millions is an
fri*jr? ri objective of the Self-Regulation
Program of the North Carolina
Division, U. S. Brewer* Foundation. You help us mightily
when you give your patronage only to those beer retailer* whose
places of business reflect complete respect for North Ctroli?
law and North Carolina civic and social standard*.
