PAGE FOUR RAISE MULES AT HOME IN FUTURE 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 1934 Roof-Tops Get the Sunshine FIRST The man who perches himself on a roof-top to watch for dawn sees the sun rise while his brothers are still groping through darkness in the streets. The man who prepares his business to meet the opportunities of Recovery Year will enable himself to enjoy those opportunities while others are still watching for the light. No other factor can help a man anticipate op portunity as much as a strong banking connection. Branch Banking & Trust Company "THE SAFE EXECUTOR" WILLIAMSTON, N. C. Sound Banking and Trust Service for Eastern Carolina i 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 friends. W.G.Peele INSURANCE WILLIAMSTON NORTH CAROLINA 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 WANTS I HAVE JUST RECEIVED A large quantity of Star and Red Devil Lye. Sell 3 for a quarter as long as it lasts.

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 | I by field mice. SALE OF VALUABLE FARM !
