More Profits Seen In Hogs This Year A steadily increasing demand for pork in the National Defense Pro gram means that hogs will be more profitable for North Carolina far mers this year, says E V, Vestal, swine specialist of the N C. State College Extension Service In recognition of the importance of pork in feeding the nation, the Government has announced a pro gram which will support hog prices at $9 per 100 pounds, Chicago basis, until June 30, 1943. """"" With this floor under hog prices. Vestel is urging growers to make a special effort to produce not only pork for the market but for family use as well. Right now surplus corn and other grains can be fed profit ably to animals intended for mar ket Likew ise. temporary pastures may j be planted at this season for hogs I Alternate rows of soybeans and mil let or Sudan grass will furnish ex cellent grazing for sows and their litters, as well as for growing pigs. An acre of this pasture will sup ply most of the feed necessary for 10 or more growing pigs if the soy-1 beans are permitted to reach 8 to 12 inches before the animals are turn ed on them. A few ears of corn daily will in-1 crease gains considerably and the addition of one-tenth pound of tank age or fishmeal or a small amount of milk per pig each day will make the gains even more economical, the j State College specialist advised. ' Plenty of cool clean drinking wa ter at all times should be a "must" i in the swine grower's program. Sim- j ilarly, minerals should be available | for growing pigs as well as other hogs The mineral mixture should be placed where the animals mav ? have access to it at all times.

Garden Additions May Be Made Now There are itill many vegetable* that the (arm family may plant in the home garden a* late a* June, ac cording to H. R. Niswonger, exten sion horticulturist of N. C. State Col lege. Sweet com, field peas. New Zea land spinach, Swiss chard, lima and snap beans, okra. egg plant, squash, and cucumbers are good crops to plant. In the mountains, June is the month to plant the main crop of cab bage. Niswunger suggested that the space between the rows of vegetables be utilized for a second planting of the same vegetable or a different one if the garden area is small. June is also the month to begin planning for the fall garden, the State College specialist said. As soon as the early or mid-season vegetables have been harvested and if the area occupied by these vegetables is to remain idle, the land should be cleaned of all dead plants and vines. Next step is the broadcasting of a liberal application of stable or chick en manure and acid phosphate and then plowing this material under. After each rain the land should be cultivated and the grass and weeds kept down so as to have the soil in good condition for fall planting. Oth er areas not occupied should be pre pared also for fall gardens. Insect control in the garden is im portant. Niswongcr suggested dust ing cabbage, collards, broccoli, and snap beans with one per cent ro tenone dust to kill worms and bean beetles. a Farmer* Are Realizing Value of Potazh To Soil * A large number of Transylvania County farmers are realizing the value of potash, particularly on the black bottom soils of the county, re ports Edwin L Shore, assistant farm agent. ?9 ' Visits In Washington City Mr Russell Rogers.visited in.Wash ington City a few days this week. rPEriDER 1 Quality ~}ooa Stow i u HOLIDAY FOOD SAVINGS Get Ready for a Grand Outing ?

Bofr StanlOna giva you," f/l tf&C/D MJxtb' XAjo (Bdht) Early Explorer* Predicted Flourish-* ing Silk Industry for North Car olina. The first visitors to that part of the United States designated today as North Carolina pictured this fer tile land as beautifully as one would expect a writer's description of Uto pia or Paradise to be ' Parallel with any place for rich land," two crops per year, and win ters without "nipping frosts" suggest Bcriptive comments are the expres sions of explorers who investigated the land south of Virginia before it Oecame the State of North Carolina. There are three good reasons why such favorable reports were given concerning land that adjoins Curri tuck. Albemarle and Pamlico Sounds. Explorers were on the "spot" as foot ball coaches are today. It was as necessary for them to locate valuable and as it is for coaches to produce t winning team. It was wise to paint l "beautiful" picture for the satis faction of the man or men who paid he bills. A second explantion of the "good" ?eports is the customary plan of, publishing pamphlets designed to ittract and interest prospective sel lers. The third reason why such 'avorable reports were published was he merits of the land and the mild vintcrs in that part of the territory ?xplored along the Atlantic coast. MtKough the "future North Caro ina" was not quite equal to the de icriptions recorded during the early expeditions, it was, nevertheless, a fertile land with a summer much onger than Virginia's growing sea ion. Francis Yeardlcy was one of the vritcrs whose letters suggested their avorable impression of "South Vir (inia or Carolina." He reported, "a nost fertile, gallant, rich soil flour slung in all the abundance of na urc, especially in the rich mulber ry and vine." He requested "silk vorm eggs, and materials for the riaking of silk." Olive trees were equested, for he considered the el i - nate favorable for their cultivation. Concerning the native trees, the vriter said that "stately timbers of ill sorts" were the equal of any that rould be found in any other place. The "air was reported "serene," ind the climate was specified as 'temperate." Yeardley, son of a gov ernor of colonial Virginia, also stat ed that Carolina was a "place indeed jnacquainted with Virginia's nip bing frosts, no winter, or very little ?old to be found there." To make his bicture more attractive, he said that South Virginia or Carolina" was 'experimentally rich in precious ninerals." Of all the colonial Carolina reports that found their way to England, j none surpassed the prediction that the native mulberry trees would be the basis for establishing a great silk industry.

Crop Improvement As sociation restricts certification of Irish potatoes to elevations of 2,200 feet or more in order to give thte seed potatoes a shorter growing sea son and thereby make them more desirable for lower altitudes with longer growing seasons. Growers whose farms have the desirable el evation and whose crop was plant ed with certified seed may make ap plication now to the Crop Improve ment Association at State College if they wish their potatoes certified. ] Insufficient Lime Cuts Crop Yields ? j Insufficient use of lime is one of the principal reason* why the yields of many crops in North Carolina are as low as they are, says Dr J F l.utz, professor of soils at N c State College Practically all soils of the State are acid and are deficient in calcium and magnesium, both of which are sup ply by lime. For this reason, it | will be necessary to supply then? elements before growers can expect to increase their crop yields Dr Lutz said. Liming results in many benefits, The first benefit usually coming m mind is that of correcting soil acid ity or "sweetening" the soil. Al though this is an important effect it is no more important than the actual supplying of calcium and magnesium as plant food Then, too, certain elements w hich I are essential to plant grow th become rather insoluble at certain degrees l of acidity and liming is necessary to make some of these soluble For example. 111 strongly acid soils considerable iron and aluminum are present pi solution If phosphate is "PPlled to such soils, it will combine the iron and aluminum to form | an insoluble and unavailable com , pound. Under such conditions, the plants cannot get phosphorus How ??ver. lull.- is a corrective for this Many crops such as alfalfa red clover, and blue grass, are consider <-d lime-loving crops, and it (s true | that large amounts of lime are nec essary for them to produce good | grow th. On the other hand, lime will' benefit practically all other crops, although the response is usually noil as great: J Since It is necessary to apply lime ' ' ' T""ntS- " grower ?sl,"uld seek the advice of his county agent! b,,forc applying the material Beer Distributors to Meet fu Greensboro The Brewers and North Carolina Bee Distributors Committee will meet at Greensboro Thursday, June 3. in celebration of the second an niversary of the "clean up or eloMe up campaign in North Carolina I lTn,nX<^r *7" comm'?i'e will meet at 10 JO o clock and the general com | mittee will hold a luncheon andZ mess session beginning at 12 30 o clock Distributors and brewer, rep rese,natives from all sections of the Mate are ex pie ted to attend the luncheon and business meeting 1 he program includes a report by State Director Edgar II Bain, of (.oldslx.ro, and addresses by Ber nard l.irhtenberg and T Howard ?.r y " U'? u,"tod Brewers Indus I Foundation, New York, spoil-' soring organization of the self !? ?""
