SENSE AND
NONSENSE
By Wilborne Harrell
MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM
An impression of Shakespeare’s
“Midsummer Night’s Dream,” on
seeing it on the screen.—
I, Fantasy airy,
, Dreamers tarry,
All in the fairy glen—
Cob-webbed moonlight,
Dancing sprite,
Music of elfin men—
*' Gossamer queen,
A spell unseen,
To thrall a lover’s heart—
Foolish mortals,
Thru fairy portals,
Enchanted play a part—
Midsummer’s night
Doth bring delight,
Thru grassy glade and dell—
Tho moon doth wane
. And love bring pain
Us plain to see it endeth well.
BY-GONE DAYS
Time does fly. If you don’t be
* lieve it, get a glimpse of the pictures
that Leggett and Davis have been
displaying in their window.—
Footprints in the sands of Time,
Just a frayed and tattered photo
graph;
A jest of Fate out of the Past
That brings a smile, a tear—or a
laugh!
MODERN MOTHER GOOSE
To London, to London to see the
queen,
Do you think, Dame Gossip, her
name is Wally!
What’s sauce for the goose is sauce
for the gander;
Yet commoner’s right, King Ed
ward’s folly.
North Carolina Good
Place To Raise Hogs
North Carolina is well adapted to
hog production, according to Earl H.
Hostetler, professor of animal hus
bandry at State College.
The State has many advantages,
he said, and three are particularly
outstanding: temperate climate, near
ness to market, and a good supply of
protein supplements.
In the temperate climate, each
sow can farrow two litters of pigs
each year without her owner having
to provide expensive housing during
these critical periods.
However, some housing is necess
ary, Hostetler said, to protect them
from the cold and rain in February
and March and from the heat in Au
gust aAid September, the two best
farrowing periods.
From practically any place in
eastern North Carolina, he continu
ed hogs can be shipped to Richmond
or Baltimore in 36 hours or less, and,
this is a distinct advantage.
Producers living farther away
from the markets have to pay more
transportation charges, and the hogs
undergo heavier shrinkage in tran
sit. Eastern markets also pay high
er prices than those in Chicago.
Corn is the cheapest and most
satisfactory carbonaceous feed for
fattening hogs, and plenty of com is
available in this State. Last year,
more than one-fourth of North Caro
lina’s crop land was in com.
To get the best results in feeding,
some nitrogenous or high proteifri
feed must be fed with the com.
And here again North Carolina has
an advantage in being able to secure
fish meal, cottonseed meal, peanut
meal, and soybean oil meal produced
in the State.
