Huge Cash Returns
Seen For Farmers
In Chickens, Eggs
The chicks. grandchicks and great ;

976.000 hens and roosters of 1940 are :
going on a health farm routine next
year. They'll get vitamins, sunlamps. I
"activated" feeds, codlivrr extract
and practically everything but castor 1
oil.
They've go; ? job to do for a na

grow big and tender and a lot of
them will have to plump out eggs !

At the same time. North Carolina
poultrymen are being urged to In

As Defense Quiz On
Trucks is Ignored
Approximately 40.000 vwntrs of
i tracks and buses in North Carolina
j have failed to respond to un urgent
I request that they complete and file
with the Highway Traffic Advisory
Committee to the War Department
a questionnaire sent them for each
such vehicle they own.
North Carolina is listed among the
more laggard States. The Inventory
must be completed and filed In the
national office at Philadelphia not
later than January 31st. 1942.
Tim inventory is an emergency

! meet war time requirements. It also
will help for ma basis for priority

Protein Necessary
To Get Best Pork
Says State Expert
Mr. and Mrs. Average American
want and Insist upon small, lean
! cuts of pork, says Prof. Earl H. Hos
tfctler, animal husbandman of N. C.
State Cfollege. "They dfan't want
lard, when they buy pork," he de
clared.
The desirable type of hog to pro
duc enow, as always, Prof. Hostetler
said, is a ^ost-growlng, asy-feedlng,
prolific type that will yield desirable
cuts of pork at live weghta from 300
to 240 pounds. To produce such a
hog requires proper feeding, includ
ing adequate amounts of protein to
build muscle and lean meat, and to
aid growth.
"Because swine ?? fed cillefly on
grain, which tends to produce fat,
particular care is needed to provide
sufficient protein of the right quali
ty in their ration," he advised. "None
of the cereal grains furnish protein
of good quality."
Prof. Hostetler added that cotton
seed meal offers a protein supple
ment of proved efficiency when used
in combination with tankage or fish
meal. He concluded:
"Selection of a good protein sup
plement is usually the most import
ant factor in swine feeding. Results
from the N. C. Agricultural Experi
ment Station show that a mixture
of animal and plant proteins makss
an excellent supplement to corn fo'
fattening hogs."

Poll Shows Demand |
For Slash In W. P. A.
And Relief Speiiding
A nation wide poll of public opin
ion conducted by the National Asso
ciaUon of Manufacturers on non
defense .spending shows that CS.3
percent of the replies to question
naires favor either abolition of, or
drastic cuts in WPA work and in
"relief".
The concensus of opinion Is that a
majority of people now on relief are
there not through necessity but
through laziness and choice. The
general opinion Is that relief should
be confined to those who are physi
cally unable to work, o rto poverty
stricken widows with small children.
WPA work is declared too slow, too
expensive.
Other slashes in public spending
were voted for in the following order:
AAA and Farm Aid; CCC: Gov
ernment printing; P. W. A.; Non
Defense projects: unnecessary em
ployment such as writers projects.
? 2*t fVuftof projCCtC,
unnecessary bureaus: overlapping
bureaus;
Rural Electrification: beautlflca
tion of parks: construction of elab
orate new post-offices and other
public buildings where present ones
are adequate: Federal Housing: new
dams and power projects;
Improvement of rivers and har

Coming Year Seen
As Being Best For
Farmers Since *28
Even though the demand for farm
products is expected to be gTeater In
1512, careful planning by farm fam
ilies in the months ahead to meet
the far-reaching effects of the war.
With normal crop yields during
the coming year, cash income of
farms is expected to compare favor
ably with any year since 1919. Pro
duction costs will continue to rise but
hardly enough to offset the Increase
in prices.
Largest increases in prices to be
paid by farmers in 1942 will be for .
food, automobiles, tractors and other
machinery, building iraterial, feed,
containers.' other small equipment
and supplies. Ffcrm wages will be
substantially higher, and in some i
sections the scarcity of farm labor i
will be a major problem.
Expectations point to ? boost of
around seven or eight per cent in
cost o>f living over 1941, and truck
crops have a brighter outlook, and
production of feed crops Is expected
to Increase materially.
With livestock, hogs are one of the
bright spots. As for beef cattle, 1942
will be a good time to cull herds
closely and dispose of inferior stock
at relatively high prices.
For dairying, the prospect for in
creased production and higher prices
is good and the outlook for egg pro
duction and prices is also favorable.
Clothing will be higher and the
cost of medical care will probably
exceed that of 1941.

Back Yard Garden
Campaign Started
As Aid To Defense
The State College Extension Serv
ice, through Its farm and home ag
ents, is organizing the "Victory Gar
den" campaign. An effort will be
made to help every one of North
Carolina's 278,278 farm families to
grow a year-round garden In 1942.
Backyard gardeners In small cities
and suburbs of large center* of pop
ulation also will be encouraged to
grow "vegetables for vitality and
victory."
Lewis P. Watson. Extension horti
culturist or State College, has been
appointed chairman of the garden
campaign committee. He and his
co-workers are planning to place
a tni den placard In every rural home
In the State.
On tile placard. Watson said, will
be a garden calendar, showing the
best planting dates for various vege
tables. and the amounts of seed and
varieties recommended. Also on the
placard will be a Daily Foods Essen
tial budget, listing the amounts and
kinds of food needed to keep a person
healthy and strong throughout the
i year.
"We are going to try to avo'd
some of the gardening mistakes of
the 1917-18 period." Watson said.
"We are going to discourage the
planting of gardens in soil not suited
for vegetable growing. We don't have
the seed, fertilizer and other ma
terials to waste on gardens planted
in backyards and other places where
cinders, brickbats and rubbish con
! stltute the 'topsoU'.
