Carolina Farmers Purchase
About 22,000 Horses
and Mules Yearly
North Carolina farmers must re
place abotft 22,000 horses and mules
each year. So far these replacements
are being shipped into the State and
jf each animal costs only $l5O a head,
Tarheel farmers must spend a gross
of $3,3000,000 to replace their failing
work animals.
"Few horses or mules are seen in
cities and towns but out in the coun
try, this form of power is still used
almost exclusively by landowners;"
declares Prof. Fred M. Haig of the
animal husbandry department at the
State College. "At present, we have
75,000 horses and 265,000 mules in the
State. T he average life of these ani
mals is about 15 years which makes

Happy New Year
To One and All Is
Our Sincere Wish
We are very grateful to the good
people of Martin and surrounding coun
ties for the splendid business they have
favored us with during the past year—
the best in a number of years.
We hope you will continue to bear
us in mind when in need of insurance,
and we trust this will be a very prosper
ous and happy year for you and your

it necessary (or Tarheel farmers to
replace about 22,000 animals each
year. As most of these animals arf
purchased from without the borders
of the State, this constitutes a heavy
drain upon the farm income."
Therefore, Professor Haig advises
that at least enough colts be grown
at home for replacement purposes.
This can be made practically > non
cash cost, he says, because feed grown
at home on adjusted acres might be
used to grow the colts at little cost.
The colts could be broken to harness
when coming three years of age and
if wisely handled will make excellent
work animals.
Three things are essential for suc
cess in raising colts at home, Haig
| says. First select good mares and
high class stallions or jacks. Take
good care of the marc and feed her
properly while she carries the colt.
! Then, while the foal is growing, han
dle him with gentleness and see that
lie is properly fed. -- ■
WARM AND DRY
WEATHER SEEN i
THIS CENTURYj
Period of Prolonged And
Disastrous Droughts
Are Forecasted
I Cambridge, Mass.—A "warm and
Idry" weather forecast for the rest of
!thc twentieth century and warning of
! a coming period of disastrous
I droughts were issued by a weather!
specialist recently before the Ameri
can Association for the Advancement
of Science. |
Playing a role much like the Bibli
! cal Joseph who warned the Egyptians
of "lean years" to come, H. W.'
dough, of Arcade, N. Y., told the
scientists that along about the turn
of tht century "there are*likely to be
prolonged and disastrous droughts,
possibly causing extensive migrations |
«>f people now inhabiting regions that J
border upon deserts."
These great droughts will result,
he said, from the fact that four great'
weather cycles controlled by the sun'
will synchronize somewhere around!
the year 2,000. At thatj-period the hot,
dry phases of each of the four cycles
all will strike the earth at about the'
same time. The cycles arc 37, 83, 300,'
and 1,400 years in length, the short j
ones repeating themselves
times during one long one, with wea
ther swinging alternately front hot
and dry to cold and wet through each.j
The United States is now having
exceptionally warm dry weather be-j
cause the warm, dry phases of a
year and 83-year cycle are now rough-,
ly coinciding, Clough said.
"Around 1950 or 1955, the weather,
will be considerably cooler and wet
ter than at present," he added. "How-|
ever, it is probably that the present
fentury as a whole will prove to be j
exceptionally warm and dry as com-,
pared with the past two centuries." |
Tire United States and foreign ]
countries have been growing warmer j
in general since the 1860's, Clough |
said, culminating in January 1932
which was the warmest January in 155
years in at least one section. Coupled ,
will) the increasing warmth have been j
recent severe droughts which still i
continue in many regions.
Clough said England now is ex
periencing the lowest prices for wheat J
in almost 300 years, the result of;
large crops favored by the current,
warm, dry weather. Similar low ;
prices for wheat, he has found, have j
prevailed during the warm, dry phase
of every cycle since the year
1,250 A. D.

CORN-HOG PLAN
OFFERS PROFITS
»
Farmers Raising Hogs for.
Market Will Benefit by
Signing Contract
A premium on hogs and a rental j
payment for corn land taken out of'
production in 1934 is offered North
Carolina farmers along with those of j
the middle west.
"I would .suggest that farmers of
North Carolina who are growing
either corn or hogs for commercial
purposes to make plans to sign a
corn-hog reduction contract, especial
ly where they are also signing either
the tobacco or cotton contracts for
1934," says W. W. Shay, swine ex
tension specialist at State College.
"The Agricultural Adjustment Ad
ministration is attempting to reduce
the production of corn and hogs with
the view of increasing the prices of
the two commodities. Therefore the
AAA will pay rent for corn land ac
cording to its fertility and will pay

j a premium on hogs if the growers will

I Shay offers to give any corn-hog
I farmer definit? information about
I how the plan is to be worked ii the
1 matter is taken up with him early
enough for the movement to get start-
J i d in this State.
To obtain benefits under the corn
I plan, for instance, Shay says the
grower must agree to reduce his corn
acreage by 20 percent under the aver
age of 1932 and 1933. He may then
' collect at the rate of 30 cents a bushel
for the corn which this rented land
' was capable of producing. Thus, if
a man grew an average of 100 acres
, of corn in 1932 and 1933 and reduced
' this amount to 80 in 1934, he may
, collect a rental payment for the 20
acres on the basis of what the land
had produced If the land had pro
duced 40 bushels to the acre, the rent
al for the 20 acres would amount to
$240 —a very good rental for the aver
, age corn land in North Carolina. .
i Tells How To Prevent
Winter Injury to Trees
i A mound of earth thrown up around
the base of peach and apple trees will,
; to some extent, prevent serious win
j ter injury. In many orchards, how
ever, this injury extends up the trunk
' and must be controlled by wrapping
the trunk with paper. Old news
! papers or wrapping paper may be used.
.Where the hark is cracked or other-1
wise injured the paper should be (
wrapped around the trunk and tied so |
1 as to protect the injury from winter |
freezes. The mound about the base!
| will also protect the tree from injury |
