Don't Sell All
Your Sows Nov
"Don't sell off nil your sows now
and plan to go out of the hog busi
ness but keep your hog program in
line with the supply of feed on the
farm and follow good management
pratices," is the advice of Ellis Ves
tal, Kxtention swine specialists at N.
C. State College.
He suggests a culling out of the
poor sows, the use of additional graz
ing crops to offset high feed costs.
and other good practices which will
help to put hog production on a more
profitable and a more conservative
basis.
Under the meat rationing program
he looks forward to the return of a
heavy demand for pigs and believes
that the RTOwer who follows sound
manaeemuil practices will be in a
better position to take advantage of
an upward trend in the market.
Hogs have been rushed to market
and a glut has followed. Some grow- I
era have recently s. ld hogs at relnt- I
ively low prices but it is hoped that I
the floor which has now been placed
under hogs will help to bring about
a better price structure and a more
normal marketing condition.
Vestal suggests that growers give
their sows careful alttcntion and save
as many pigs as possible at farrowing
time. He points out that men in the
fl forces eat about one and one
half times as much as they did when
at home. When these same men are
sent overseas, the food reserve must
be three times as great as when they
are stationed in this country.
All of these demands for our men in
the armed forces plus meat for Lend
Lease and freed peoples, In addition
to the heavy demand from our civil
ian population will call for a large
. number cf hogs, all that can be pro
duced from the available feed.
O
FEED CONCENTRATES
In producing 13 percent more live
stock in the United States during the
past year, 28 percent more feed con
centrates were used. Livestock spec
ialists plead for a more efficient use
of feed.
O
FARM INCOME TAX
Along with other tax payers, farm
ers are required to file "Declarations
of Estimated Income and Victory
Tax'' before Decemberl5.
O
COTTON STORAGE
Many cotton warehouses are full
and farm storage of cotton is on the
increase. Government loans may be
obtained on farm-stored cotton.
O
PEANUT HAY
Peanut hay is good this year and
1 central buying stations are being set
up at Tarboro, Williamston and other
points to provide a market for the
crop, reports H. L. Meacham of State
College.

Check Operations
Now that cotton gining is just a
bout over is a good time fir ginncrs
to check up on their year's operations
and ask tlitiiiaelves questions which
may help them in doing a better job
next season, says C. L. McCaslan,
Extension gin specialist at State Col
lege. He suggests the following quest
ions. "Did I wait too late to put my
gin in good operating condition?"
"Have I rough ginned many bales of
cotton, and why?" "Did I feed the
cotton to the gin too fast, when the
yard was crowded?" "Did I gin with
too tight a gin roll?" "Did farmers
bring me too much cotton which was
green or damp?"
He also suggests that the ginner
begin with his power unit and check
on all causes of break-downs. The
cott n handling and cleaning mech
anism should also be checked and the
trouble listed It Is advisable to note
the "choke-ups" and their causes.
To make repairs eisier next sea
son, McCaslan recommended that the
gin be cleaned thoroughly now. Re
move the brush cover and examins
the brushes. Remove th saw cylind
er. Examine the air blast nozzles and
the gin ribs. While the saw is out,
measure the diameter of the saw, and
the condition of the teeth.
If the saw is worn down one-sixteenth,
cr more, new saws should be
ordered. A good practice to follow is
to coat the ribs and saws inside the
roll box with a mixture of one part
of lard oil and three parts of mineral
oil. This will prevent rusting during
the idle season, and the oil can easily
be removed with a rag and kerosene
before the active season begins.
RATION NOTES
OPA Ruling On Home
Grown Meats Explained
The following explanation of the
OPA regulations on hJme produced
meat was given this week;
If a person owns or operates a farm,
but does not live on it, he may still
receive the meat for the consumption
of his household, point free, if:
(1) He actually supervised the rais
ing of this meat by visiting the farm
at least one-third of the days during
the time that the meat was being rais
ed, or if
(2) He purchased the animal at
least 60 days before slaughter and vis
ited his farm one-third of the days
during this period for the purpose of
supervision.
Please note that this supervision
doesn't require the party to spend one
thjrd of the days at the farm but only
requires that he visit his farmi one
third of the days. His visit may be of
very short duration most of these
days.

EabyPi Losses
Swine raisers in so:ie sections
the State tre having trouble with
their baby pigs, due to confusing th
symptoms of joint ill with those of
erysipelas, says Dr. C. D. Grinncll
of the animal industry department
of the State College Experiment Stat
ion.
"Pigs suffering from joint ill, in
fectious arthritis, usually show list
lessness and depressi! n and do not
want to suckle," Dr. Grinnclls quotes
a recent report of the American Vet
crinary Medical association as saying.
'There is a noticeable lameness and
the joints of the pigs are swollen
They may not die within two to five
days."
The report goes on to say that
"since some of these symptoms are al
so common to erysipelas, it is easy for
the swine producer to become con
fused." Without a proper diagnosis
a number of pigs may be lost before
the real cause of the trouble is de
termined.
Dr. Grinnclls points out that joint
ill is a pus disease, and is often caus
ed by the soiling of the navel cord
when the pigs are born.
'Disinfection of the navel cord is
the best preventive of this disease,
the report says. "Proper housing and
good sanitation will pay real divid
ends in keeping down losses not only
from joint ill but also from other
diseases associated with filth and
contaminated surroundings."

To insure your having your fertilizers when you need them
it is necessary that vnu stnrt taking in your fertilizers not la
ter than OCT. 15th to NOV. 1st. This is due to the fact that the

compelled to operate our business under the most unusual
conditions, which will work a hardship on all of us. In your
case it means that you will have to take in your fertilizers well
in advance of the time that you will actually need them, to in
sure your having them on hand when you will need them.
To whip the Axis and bring the War to a quick ending it is ne
cessary that we all work together, and give and take when and
where it is necessary.
TO YOU WHO ANTICIPATE FARMING DURING 1944:
For reasons other than those outlined here, a bird in hand dur
ing October, November and December will be worth much
more to you than what birds you may have in hand after that
time.
Your small grain sowed this fall should have ample fertilizer
under it, in addition to being dressed with Nitrogen next
Spring. We can furnish your requirements for this also.
Make your plans now See us or our Agents, and let us start
delivering your fertilizers not later than October 15th to No
vember 1st.
