Pitt Farmers Placing
Emphasis On Hog Growth
Pitt county farmers are placing
emphasis on better hog production
during 1948, reports Jack Keiley,
animal husbandry specialist for the
State College Extension Service.
Last year the county stressed
corn production, with civic organ
izations of Greenville sponsoring a
corn growing contest. Now, under
the leadership of County Agent S.
C. Winchester and Assistant Agent
W. H. Pruden, farmers will give
special attention to hog production
as .the best method ot marketing
their corn, Mr. Keiley said.

it unnecessary for them to go out

Mr. Keiley said the county al
ready has a good pasture program
which includes crimson clover, rye
grass, and small grains for winter
grazing, and Ladino clover for
year-round grazing.
Among the purebred breeders in
Pitt are Joe Moye of Farmville, a
Duroc breeder and the only man
in the State who has .purchased
two. $1,000 boars; C. H.' Carraway
of Farmville and Marvin T. Barn

breeders; and H. T. Smith of Foun

Airplanes Will Spray
County Tomato Crop
Carteret county's 1,500-acre to
mato crop will be sprayed by use
of airplanes this year, R. M. Wil
liams, county agent, reported to
day. The cost will be borne now by
the Beaufort cannery but will be
paid later by the farmers when
they sell their crop. Spraying, will
aid in the fight against fusariam,
a blight which kills the plants.
Although the plants arriving
from Florida were advanced be
yond the transplanting stage when
they were shipped here and many
poor stands were the result, re
planting has resulted fairly good
stands, Mr. Williams said.
Prices oncabbage have been as
low as $20 a ton and on several
days no cabbage was bought at all.
