Hog Cholera In Area: Dr.
William -Busey ol the area Live
stock Disease Diagnostic Lab
oratory says there is hog cholera
and some severe cases in the
counties of this area. Several
diseased animals posted during
the last ten days have shown
severe cholera infection.
There have not been many
severe losses of animals but the
disease can easily develop into
an epidemic. The only insur
anoe against hog cholera is
proper vaccination of animals
while they are healthy.
At a meeting of the board of
directors of the North Carolina
Swine Industry Association at
N. C. State College on June 1,.
“Hog Cholera” was declared to
be the only “Real Problem” of I
the hog producer. It was con- j
eluded that the problem can
not be solved by legislation but
can only be solved by an edu
cational program. Dr. E. G.
Batte, veterinarian of N. C.
State College, said that if as
much as 80% of all hogs in
North Carolina could be vacci
nated regularly, there would be
no real cholera problem. At
the present, about 25% to 30%
of all hogs in the state are
vaccinated.
The Board of Directors of the
N. C. Swine Industry Associa
tion appointed a Hog Cholera
Eradication Committee of thir
teen members. The responsibili
ty of this committee is the de
velopment of a program that can
be adopted through North Caro
lina to eradicate hog cholera.
The committee is composed of
E. M. Hunt of Denton, Dr. Ed
Batte, Dr. George Hyatt and,
Jack Kelley of N. C. State Col- j
lege, Mr. Howard Grvder of the
Department of Vocational Edu
cation, Jimmy Wooten. C. M.
Jackson and L. B. Outlaw of
swine marketing companies,
Clyde Eby of Eby Supply Com
pany, D. H. Taylor of N. C.
Feed Manufacturers, Dr. H. J.
Rollins, State Veterinarian, Dr.
Bill Plummer of Goldsboro and
Edmund Aycock of the Wachovia
Bank and Trust Company.
.This surely is a well rounded
committee of very capable mem
bers. When the program is de
veloped it will be up to the
swine producers of North Caro
lina to put it into action, oth
erwise it will be useless. The
thing we can do in the mean
time is keep our hogs vacci
nated.
Dr. Batte says vaccinate pigs
when they are six to eight
weeks old with modified virus
and serum as recommended. Re
vaccinate all gilts three weeks
before breeding. Re-vaccinate
sows likewise annually. Let’s
properly vaccinate our pigs and
breeding stock in Chowan Coun
ty and not gamble on chance, j
File Application For Gasoline
Tax Refund: Now is the time
to file your application for Fed
eral Tax Refund on farm used
gasoline. This amounts to four
cents a gallon on all gasoline
you used in tractors and other
equipment used on the farm
to North Carolina • ♦ ♦
fa glass of beer
means many things
Pier fishing in North Carolina so
symbolic of the relaxed vacation oppor
tunities to be found in our state ... and
to the devotees of this sport, a glass of
beer is symbolic of better living.
A glass at beer also means a light, bright
refreshment of moderation and needed ta£
and business revenue to thaao — l trtll l ir*T
of seasonal activiti**
from July 1, 1960 through June
30, 1961. Gasoline used in cars
and trucks is not eligible.
The claim may be filed by the
owner, tenant or operator of a
farm. The claim must be filed
before October 2, 1961. Keep a
record of the gasoline on which
tax refund is filed to substanti
ate your claim in case the Di
rector of Internal Revenue calls
for it.
Most farmers will receive an
application form through the
mail. This form will contain
your name and address; if either
is incorrect, correct it before
mailing. Forms are also avail
able at your County Agricultural
Agent’s office so call for one
if you need it. If a farmer has
employees subject to Social Se
curity Tax (FICA), he should
enter his employer’s identifica
tion number as it appears on
Form 943, Employer’s Annual
Tax Return for Agricultural
Employees. For farmers living
in North Carolina the claim
should be sent to the U. S. Dis
trict Director of Internal Rev
enue, Greensboro, N. C.
The refund money is yours if
you want it, if not, surely your
family needs it. Uncle Sam will
keep it unless you file your
claim.
Southern Stem Rot Showing
Up In Peanuts: Southern Stem
Rot is beginning to injure and
kill some hills of peanuts in
many fields. The disease spores
(seed) live over in the soil. Ex
cessive hilling or bedding of the
plants during cultivation injures
the plants and provides a place
for the fungus to attack. What
can a grower do now?
Practice flat cultivation and
don't throw dirt on the plants
or limbs. Dust your crop with
copper-sulphur as recommended,
this prevents leaf shatter and
the accumulation of decaying
leaves around the base of the
plant. Use Terraclor-landplaster
mixture or dust with Terraclor
as recommended at pegging
time. Terraclor application gave
an average yield increase of 309
pounds per acre in 25 demon
strations over a period of three
years.
Push Hogs To Market: The
market price of hogs is now
above 18 cents per pound. Prices
are expected to hold at between
18 and 20 cents per pound dur
ing July and August. Push your
hogs to top market weight dur
ing this period. Keep hogs vac
cinated against cholera, the risk|
of disease by not vaccinating is
too great.
Breed Sheep Now: Ewes
should be bred in July and
early August for December and
January lambs. Early lambs
finish out best and bring the
most money. Re-shear the ram
before placing him with the
flock, this will keep him cooler
and more serviceable.
Summer School: Pauline Cal
loway and Harry Venters have
just returned from a required
three weeks of summer school.
Each of them took two courses,
one of which was “Extension

they have both profited by these
three weeks of strenuous study
and the people of Chowan Coun
ty will profit by their learning
and experience. If they walk
with their heads rather high the
first few days, don’t worry, they
will come down to earth.
SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON
Continued from Page &—Section i
ling and matter-of-fact, while!
Mary was demure, retiring,
thoughtful. God likes variety.
Jesus allowed each of his friends
to retain and express his indi
viduality. He knew that each i
could be a power for righteous
ness in his own way. The
miracles began when each of
these persons gave Jesus Christ
a chance with what he was.
And so we naturally come
to the question: How do we
give Christ a chance with us?
First, we must rise and follow.
Andrew, Peter, James and John |
left their nets and fishing boats i
and the security of their old
ways to go with him. In their
own separate and distinct ways, j
Mary, Martha and Lazarus rose
and followed him.
Not so some others Jesus in- j
vited to follow him; the rich!
young ruler, with all his poten- j
tials for service in Christ, Nico- j
demus, ruler of the Jews, and-
Arimathea these men sensed 1
Jesus' claim on them, knew they
were sorely needed, and yet
they could not bring themselves
to “rise and follow”.
To give Christ a chance to re
lease us, we must bring our
selves to do something about it.
We must rise and follow. It is
not enough to marvel at His
greatness, listen to his wisdom,
view his goal of new men and
a new world, and thrill at the
challenge he offers us. If we
would deceive what Christ
would give through his redeem
ing friendship, we must be will
ing to rise above failure, above
rebuke, above shame, even as
His friends did. It is not fail
ure that defeats us, so much as
it is the refusal to try again.
What is wisdom, except the har
vest of failure? It is failure
that makes us pause and con
sider; it prompts us to reflect
and search for a solution. And
even if we have failed in fol
lowing Jesus Christ, he waits
with mercy and pardon. He
waits to help us rise again. And
each time we rise to try again,
more of his greatness is released
in us. This is the miracle of
his friendship—a miracle that
waits on our doorstep, as it
