This means that farms not under individual herd quarantine may now move hogs to slaughter without permits or inspections", states Richrd Bryant County Extension Chairman. "When moving Breeding Stock 'or Feeder pigs the State Regulation on inspection soil exists. It ap pears that these permits will be requied until North Carolina is declared FREE OF HOG CHOLERA", further states Mr. Bryant.-.' 'Most of the Veternarians that I have talked with concerning our chances of averting another epidemic this year, seem to think they are good - if we get all the virus cleaned out before hot weather. The real danger we have now, is in herds that were not depopulated, and were near the epidemic area last year. Sows pose the biggest problem for us right now. Around April 15 we can breathe a little easier, as most of all the sows bred during the epidemic will have farrowed, and have pigs of weaning age. It is imperative that the fanners keep careful and close watch on their sows during this period of time. Please don't take any death losses as "just one of those things". Baby pigs that have the hog cholera fall into a category known as the Pregnant Sow Syndrone. Sometime during the period of pregnancy the sow contacted the hog cholera virus. Since most of the virus was in a weakened form, or chronic, rather , than acute and the sow being a large healthy animal quickly formed antibodies to fight off the virus and remained out-wardly healthy. The little pigs are not quite so fortunate. The virus passes through the placenta, tissues mat separates sow and pigs, and infects the pigs. When the pigs are born, sometimes they are all still-born or mummyfield or deformed, and sometimes, they are ay parently heal&y normal r,r They nurse tteir mo&ar c "3 tie all important coao. juhi milk or first milk.

The final score of the game was 63-42 but if Coach Susan Cox had elected to do so the rout could have been even more lopsided. Coach Cox went to her bench early in the second half of the game, giving all her girls a chance to play in the cham pionship game. In the Friday night semifinal game with Gates County, it was apparent that Coach Cox's girls were reaching their peak as they easily won that tilt, 52-31. Saturday nights game clinched the championship for the Williamston girls team. protects the little pig until he is weaned, at which time he will begin to build his own antibodies against disease. The little pigs fairs fine until his mother's milk supply ' cut down and he is weaned. Weaning like other things we do to pigs puts them under stress. This stress and the lack of a supply of antibodies against hog cholera turns the virus loose and the pig comes down with a good case of cholera. The symptoms may be many and varied, scours, loss of appetite, drying up, fever and eventually death. Sows that have not been exposed to the virus previously may show lack of appetite and want to lie around undisturbed. By this we have the old vicious cycle of hog infecting hogs. : I would urge all of our swine growers to have sick animals checked either at the Diagnostic Laboratory or call my office and we will send a Veternarian out to check the animals on the farm. I hope each and every swine feeder in the county will make every effort within his power to help put a stop to this dread hog disease. It has cost us 50 million dollars a year to live with hog cholera and his doesn't include the export market we have lost because of Hog Cholera. Foreign countires want our pork, but they do not want our hog cholera, therefore our export market is lost. This is reason enough for all of us connected with swine production to want to see this disease eradicated..

The increse, according to Russell H. James, Southeast regional director of USDA's Food and Nutrition Service, is attributed to the efforts of concerned community leaders to see that all eligible needy people were provided assistance. At the same time, James revealed that there was a statewide increase of 32 per cent in participation in the USDA food programs. A total of 300,965 persons were given aid in December - an increase of 73,994 over the 226,971 on the programs a year ago. The increase, he noted, oc curred in the food stamp program now in operation in 50 North Carolina counties. Here 174,586 low-income people were issued $4.2 million in coupons. Of this amount, $2.9 million was in the form of free bonus stamps. This was up 94,394 from the 80,394 on the food stamp program in December 1969. Due to the fact that a number of counties during the year changed from commodity distribution to food stamps to provide additional food for those in need, there was a decline in the number of the family food Day Sales For j- ., i : V J") 0 '-111 V " 1 I L Pictured are members which helped with selling balloons and tags each Saturday during the month of February for the Heart Fund.
