potatoes this year, all good size and
he brought us just a seedling, thinkli'it.
perhaps that we might like "taLer"

HOG FEEDING
IS GOING FINE
IN CLAY COUNTY
(By W. R. Anderson, County Agent)
Tlx- irpo.<ed car load of hogs that
was to Ik- fed thi- winter is going
fine, ty-t A'? head of the minimum
ear i- already in the feed lot, and forty
or n. i head to go in the feed lot.
Now what has really happened about
th - he:* feeding: is this; the scale is
being the deciding factor. The
amount ot feed being fed to these
hog.- . being weighed out to them for
a liv. weeks period with an estimate
gain on the amount of feed in the
length time and every fellow is
t.yin;' to beat the estimate and in.

T en is three great factors in this
hu_ Ceding game; first a balanced
iati??n that will make hogs put on
the r .--si pounds to the least feed in
the .-hottest length of time, in other
words the heaviest posifdc feeding of
the 1 v l balanced ration. Second, the
ellii . of the farm products at the
highest possible market price. And
t: is <b>ne bv having the hogs at the
v, eight at the time when meat is
highest, this being April and September.
N : ;h Carolina farmers can feed

a the market, they can raise winter
",rrowed pigs or they can have fall
farrowed pigs and feed them forApril
market. The prices on hogs are the
lowest front October to February
and highest from March to September
and that is when for North Carolina

WEAVER'S GUESS
IS WORTH ONE
BARREL FLOUR
A guess is a guess, and Kelsey
Weaver is the champion "guesser" of
Cherokee County, and his ability at
"guessing" has netted his one barrel
oi ixeine King: riour. AH his friends
and neighbors are "guessing" that hot
biscuits will appease his appetite for
a while at least.
Kelscy's ability at guessing was
demonstrated at the recent county
fair when the W. M. Fain Grocery
Co., Inc., had on display a glass jar
filled with small grain. The one who
guessed nearest the number of grains
the jar contained was awarded a barrel
of Nellie King Flour, a popular
brand sold by this company since it
started business seventeen years ago
and which feature is an annual event
of the fair.
The jar contained 82,720 grains,
and Kesley guessed 83,439, missing it
by 713. However, he is convinced
that this "guess" was as good as a
hlt"
The many friends of Mr. Tom McCombs
will regret to learn that he is
seriously ill.
