SECTION TWO-
Swine Grazing In
Chowan Profitable
L. C. Bunch Completes
Successful Grazing
Demonstration
“Grazing ladino plover pays in pork
production,” says County Agent C. W.
Overman.
Mr. Overman points out that Lloyd
C. Bunch of the Enterprise communi
ty completed a demonstration on June
18. On April 7. 40 shoats weighing
approximately 3,544 pounds were
placed on three acres of ladino clover
pasture. They received a full feed of
corn and protein .supplement. On
June 18 the hogs were sold. They
weighed 7 285 pounds, a gain of .8,741
pounds.
During the feeding period the 40
hogs consumed 229 bushels of corn and,
1,600 pounds of supplement. The com;
cost $399.75. the supplement cost
$91.00, making a total feed cost, other;
than clover. $490.75. This was an av
erage cost of $13.12 per 100 pounds
of gain.
The three acres of pasture was ex
cellent. It would have supported at
least twice as many hogs which means
that not more than half of the value
of the clover was obtained. In addi
tion, the hogs had a reaction from vac
cination which set them hack at least
two weeks, in Mr. Bunch’s estimation.
Lloyd is convinced that feeding hogs
out on ladino clover pays good divi
dends.
HAYSEED I
By UhV' E SAM
The Fourth of July is officially set
aside and known as Independence
Day. On this day set aside to cele
brate independence there were pa
rades, there were bands, there were
flags and decorations, there were pa
triotic speeches. With many this is
an idle gesture for the spirit of in
dependence, freedom and self-reliance
is being frowned upon and arprued
against. Far too many people think
they prefer security instead of inde
pendence.
Perhaps it would be just as correct
to shorten the word Independence Day
to Dependence Day and instead of
celebrating it, just observe it. Ob
serve it on account of the govern
ment’s socialistic policies and endless
number of controls. Observe it on ;
account of its controlled production ofi
food and materials. Observe it on nr-!
count of its controlled prices. Ob
serve i - s regulations controlling labor!
and wiie ay and who may tint work.
Ohsrrv, • for its free handouts. Ob
serve it for its policy of unnecessary j
and extra- - spending. Observe itl
on acce int , - excessive and almost
confiscat >ry taxation. By lack of an- 1
preciatin:i and by indifference we have
passed ft • independence to depend
(•lice.
There «•;-.< a day when patriotic I
songs •■••• re taught in the schools.
There •. -a day when riders were re
spected. Tb re was a day when rev
erence -a . - shown for heroes. There
was a lay when we refrained from
meddling in the affairs of other na
tions. Thei" was a time when wo
were feared and respected by all na
tions. There was a day when wo
spoke softly and carried a big stick
instead of boasting and waving a fast
shrinking dollar hill. It may he a
long wry tack to independence and
what Independence Day once stood for
hut unless we can regain our spirit of
independence we are living in depend
ence. awaiting the time of our anni
hilation.

SCIENCE M
i TREATING TRENCH MOUTH
By Science Features
During World War I many sol
diers suffered from an infectious
mouth disease that they promptly
called “trench mouth” in honor of
their living conditions. Since 1918,
trench warfare has become obso
lete but the disease, more properly
I known as Vincent’s infection, is
still common today.
, The exact cause is not clear, but
1 “trench mouth” usually results
f rom crowded,
Ife ditions, poor
1 v, js» vitamin defieien
' / ' cy an| J fatigue.
These facts can
ili on a battlefield.
I, ■ \A Vincent’s in
i' MEm section appears
abruptly, pro
.! ducing a painful
j inflammation of the gums which
[ become very sensitive and bleed
easily. The infection can destroy
much of the tissue around the
teeth and also afFect other areas of
the mouth.
; In treating the disease the gums
are always cleaned. With the dis
covery of antibiotics, penicillin was
successfully used but now two New
York dentists report that terramy
cin gives even better results. The
investigators tested the wide-range
drug in 42 cases of Vincent’s infec
tion. Gum areas of 39 patients that
were treated with terramycin be
gan Healing within 48 hours while
unmedicated sections took much
longer. Periodic dental check-ups
can prevent development of this
infectious disease. There is little
reason today why trench mouth
should not become as outdated as
trench warfare.
“Unto These Hills,” at Cherokee in
the Great Smokies, nightly except
Mondays through September 6; and
“Horn in the West,” at Boone in the
Blue Rdige Mountains, nightly except
Sundays through September 6. All
of these dramas are presented in am
phitheatres seating up to 3,000 per
sons. A fourth drama, “The Sword
of Gideon,” will re-open July 22 at
King's Mountain and play Thursday,
Friday and Saturday evenings through

TEXT: “He who foresees calami
ties, suffers them twice over.”
. —B. Portius.
A young matron thought she was
getting used to the odd actions of day
help, but she was frankly puzzled by
the new housemaid who continued to
work with her hat on. Finally, she
ventured a question.
“Mona, why do you wear a hat in ;
the house ? I prefer that you take itj
off when you come to work in the'
morning and leave it off until you go j
home.”
“Taint hurtin’ nothin’,” snapped the]
maid, “And I want it on, ‘cause ef-'
you can use less.
Grind it fine, and you’ll get more
coffee out of each pound.
Cut down on waste by measuring
accurately. Find the lowest strength
■ that satisfies and use the same meas
ure each time.
Remember that coffee evaporates
and gets bitter when too often reheat
ed. Try to make no more than you
are going to drink each time.
If you use the drip method, use a
little less coffee and pour the liquid
through twice.—Changing Times.

Some folks go through life just like i
that maid. They “carry a chip” on
their shoulders, daring anyone to I
knock it off. Anyone can find trou-1
ble if they go looking for it. There '
are some who never meet trouble be- j
cause they do not recognize it when |
jit comes. That is one snub that will,
jlead to a happier life. When trouble '
! goes out of its way to confront you, |
j that is time enough to grapple with j
it. But to foresee calamity, insults
and trouble, constantly, is to suffer I
'them twice over. j
Cheated!
For many years a rancher employed I
a Chinese cook. After an unusually'
good dinner the rancher decided to
raise his wages. The next pay day
i the cook noted the extra money in his
envelope. “Why you pay me more?”
he asked.
“Because you've been such a good
cook all these years,” replied the boss.
After thinking it over for a while,
the Chinese said: “You been cheat
ing me long time, eh?”
Prosperity tries the fortunate, ad
'versity the great. —Pliny.
