North Carolina Republicans will meet in biennial state convention in Charlotte on Thursday. March 16. This date was selected by Repub lican State Chairman Sim A. De Lapp, of Lexington, after consulta tion with a numbrr of party lead-' ? rs. and he is issuing a formal call for the convention on this basis Formal approval of the Republi can State Executive committee of the choice of Charlotte as the con vention city will be given by the committee at a meeting in Winston Salmi next Friday. Young Repub licans of the state also will meet there Friday, and the annual state wide Lincoln Day dinner of the par ty is scheduled there next Friday j night. Clarence O. Kuester. manager of ! the Chur'.otte Chamber of Com- i merce. who has arranged for the municipal Armory-Auditorium to I be available for the convention, has been informed that attendance will piobably range between 4,000 and 5.000. Candidates for United States sen ator. governor, the national house of representatives in all 12 North Carolina districts, and for the other elective state offices in addition to1 the governorship will be nominated j by the convention. State Chairman i DeLupp said yesterday. Belief that ; all Republican nominations for these offices will be made by the con- j vention delegates, and not in a pri mal-}'. is general. Although speculation concerning | the probable identity of the nonii- 1 nees remains rather general in the | main, the name of I. G. Greer, gen eral manager of Mills Home at Thomasville. is being very prom inently montionf*d in such specula lion concerning the governorship.

The food production goal an- ! nounced for 1914 is the highest on , record. It eails for the largest plant- ! ing program in the nation's history J ? the planting of 380.000,000 acres,' an increase of 16,000,000 acres over 1943. "This vast production program . will require the efficient utilization j of machinery in planting, cultivating and harvesting the farm products, needed," says J. D. Blickle, exten sion agricultural engineer at State ' College. Although more now machinery will be made in 1944 than in 2943, it may not he available in large quantities when 't is needed. Also, the quantity of new machinery probably will not be sufficient to meet the increased crop acreage and for replacement of worn equipment. This means that it is highly essfflS- j tial to nave every usable machine now on the farms properly repaired and maintained for use in 1944. "The machinery needs include in spection, cheeking, ordering parts early. repairing, servicing, and i maintenance The machines, both j new and old. must be used efficient- i !v. Efficient use may make it I ic i tcssary to include in the program ! some plan of sharing so that each j essential machine will produce to its ! >/i.:?xinium capacity,'' Blickle points ? t'ui. Safety in operation is also needed to protect the machinery from dam ago. to protect crops from destruc tion and to protect the operator from injury. This requires experi enced operators, or the training of ne\\i operator.-, to use the machines skillfully. From all indications there is an increased need this year for a vig orous and effective machinery re pair and maintenance program, due to the lack of norr-al replacement of machinery durini, the past two years, the shortage of farm labor, and the increased production goals for 1944.

Flavor Important To Quality Milk Safety, good keeping qualities. I cleanliness, proper food value, and ' good flavor are most desirable in high quality rnilk and milk products, says W. L. Llevenger, dairy manu tacturing specialist of '.he State Col lege extension service. From a selling standpoint, prob ably the most important of these is good flavor. "The flavor of milk varies great i ly among cows," says Clcvcnger. : "The amount of butterfat contained in the milk in relation to the sugar, protein, and ash it contains, will also affect the flavor. In the same way, feed that a cow oats will bo letlicted in the milk she produces. "Some milk is inclined to a wat ery taste, even though it is fairly high in butterfat. And. the feed and truit flavors may be evident in the milk from some rows, while that from other animals that have been fed the same diet will have little or none of the flavor defects," Clcvcn ger says. He points out that if certain roughages are fed within five hours of milking, they are inclined to give an off-flavor to milk. While such ; flavors are not as serious as those resulting from certain weeds, they detract from the quality of the pro ; duct. "Proper herd management is j necessary to reduce flavor defects to a minimum," says the dairy special | ist. I If milk utensils are not properly washed and sterilized and if the ! milk is not cooled properly, off | flavors may also result. "Keep 'Em Grazing" Hog Grower's Slogan Fired sows or gilts should be kept i'ii a good pasture or they should be ted green colored lespedeza, soy bean, or alfalfa hay of good quality in a rack, says Ellis Vestal, exten sion swine specialist at State Col-: j iege. He suggests a slogan. "Keep Em , Grazing," for all hog producers in ? 1044 so as to save on labor and aisoj j to make grains and protein supplo j merits go as far as possible. I For sows and gilts. Vestal recom i mends that they be fed just enough j ' grain to keep the animals in good j flesh. Full feed a mineral mixture | at all times. Thirty days before the ! pigs are born, it is good practice to | hand-feed a small amount of pro i tein supplement daily. After the pigs are 10 days old, the j sows may be given all the grain and i mineral mixture they want- About j one-half pound of protein supple I meni can be hand-fed to each sow daily. Vestal suggests a creep for the pigs, using shelied corn or ground grains in the trouth. "Wean the pigs when they are 3 weeks old. Leave them on a grec-n pasture and hand-feed them a large ear of corn per head daily. Keep the mineral mixture before them in ; a dry place. Hand-feed a small amount of protein supplement each day until the pigs weigh about 75 pounds. This supplement can be made by mixing together any two i of the following materials: Fishmeal, ; tankage, - cottonseedmeal. soybean i meal, or peanut meal," Vestal says.
