The Army’s “ultra modem” super
armaments program now combines
, the three most significant develop
ments to emerge from World War ll—
the atomic bomb, the supersonic rocket
and radar.
These developments have been
welded into a guided missiles program
—a program which in many respects
now is out of the development stage
and is in the mass production stage.
There can be no doubt that guided
missiles have moved out of the realm
of science-fiction into that of reality.
In the eight years the Army has
been working on supersonic rockets
and guided missiles, several have been
developed. Some of them—such as the
Nike were developed for anti-air

craft purposes. Others, including the*
Honest John and the Corporal—not
to be confused with earlier research
vehicles such as the Wac Corporal or
the Corporal E— were developed as
long-range field artillery to strike at
targets on the surface of the earth.
The Corporal E, a surface-launched
test missile, was developed as a re-,
search instrument by the Army Ord
nance Corps.
To date, announcements of spe
cifics of these missiles have been Ign
ited, but men responsible for the
Army’s super - armaments program
take pride in the fact that guided mis
siles now have emerged from their
design and cocoon stage into flight and
tactical production.
Army Chief of Staff General J.
Lawton Collins said recently:
“What the Army is doing is inte
grating these arms —guided missiles,
rockets, as well as atomic artillery—
into our own pattern of t weapons.”
During the past year the Army be
gan production of tactical missiles and
set the wheels in motion to activate
combat units trained and equipped to
fire at least two of the Army’s new
missiles.
The Army did not intend to sit back
and wait until the first tactical guided
missile was produced and then rush
into a furious training program. In
stead, it began training immediately
on available test rockets and missiles
so that tactical missiles could be em
ployed in the field at the earliest pos
sible date.
This meant taking advantage of
every opportunity for guided missile
training, continued assistance in the
development work at White Sands
Proving Ground, sending personnel to
factories and laboratories throughout
the country to obtain on-the-job train
ing, and missile operations and train
ing for the men on whatever “hard
ware” was available.

battalion, it will replace an anti-air
-1 craft or a field artillery battalion,”
\ said General Collins. “Similarly,
1 where we use a battalion capable of
' firing atomic energy weapons, it will
' take the place of a regular artillery
battalion.
“But,” he continued, “most of the
older weapons will remain for the
time being. The new weapons have
1 great possibilities, especially in bad
weather. But the public should not
jump to the conclusion that they will
replace conventional weapons over
night.”

Ho«r Raising Booklet
Available To Farmers
Hogs are grown in every communi
ty in North Carolina. Chowan Coun
ty is no exception. The trick is to
I
make hog-raising profitable.
“Raising Hogs in North Carolina,”
is the latest North Carolina State Col- I
lege Extension Service publication and
should result in happier hogs and bet
ter pork, plus increased income for
swine producers.
Prepared by Jack Kelley, in charge
of livestock for the Extension Service,
and H. A. Steward, in charge of swine
research for State College, the 16-page
illustrated booklet is the latest infor
mation on swine production from se
lecting breeding stock and sow test
ing to cross breeding,'herd manage
ment, pasture, grains, antibiotics and
minerals.
On marketing, the authors warn
farmers that “Even the slightest
bruises lower the grade of prime cuts
and hurt the sale of finished pork pro
ducts. The use of sticks, clubs, sharp
instruments, prodpoles and whips in
jure hogs”—and your pocketbook. Kel
ley and Steward suggest that farmers
use canvas slappers or electric prods
to drive hogs.
North Carolina’s swine industry,
which ranks second in the entire South
and is a $65 million annual business
furnishes a part of the food supply for
most farm families and the income
from cash sales is of considerable im
portance.
