College Station, Raleigh, ■ Jan. 21.—The higher price of pork during the past fail and winter has revived an interest in hog raising in North Carolina. At this time the farmers are particularly interested In better feeding methods, said H. W. Tay lor, Bssistaitt extenaion swine spe cialist at State college. Over the State the farmers are building self-feeders, as recom mended by the extension service, to facilitate the feeding of a bal anced ration at comparatively low cost. A few days ago ia Bladen oounty, for example, the county agent, J. R. Powell, helped local farmers build 15 self-feeders at a cost of approximately |5 each. Powell said the farmers in that county expect to have 1,000 hogs on self-feeders this spring.

Officer in Charge of the Marine Corps Recruiting District of Savannah, with Headquarters in the New Post Office Building, Savannah, Ga.. says that, although there is no royal road to knowledge, the Marine Corps authorities have opened a way to knowledge for members of the Corps by means of the Marine Corps Institute cor respondence courses.

Jan. 23.—Ofticers tonighi hart found no further trace of robbers who today took $9,303.37 from the Bank of Aiken in a bold hold-up. The robbery was staged short ly after 10 a. m with such start ling swiftne.ss that eye-witnaeses gave confused accounts of what happened. Most agreed that three men entered the bank and held up the employes and ten or twelve customers while at least one more robbeT waited outside. W, O. Jones, cashier, said he was positive, however, that five came into the bank. Two ne groes who saw the bandit car leave said only three men were in it and ofticers considered the possibility that two cars were used.

DAIRY FARMERS NEED BF’n’ER PASTURES A shortage of good pasture Is considered the weakest spot in Nortli Carolina’s dairy cattle feeding program. Because of this shortage, milk ( production is more costly than in states wnere pasturage is more abundant, says John A. Arey, ex tension dairyman at State Col lege. Under good feeding schedules, nearly one-third of a cow’s feed comes from the pasture, but the f'astura.ge accounts for only one- scvi-iith of the total feed costs. In other words, Arey pointed out, the nutrients gained from a pasture are much cheaper than those from other sources. Tender, succulent pasturage is nature’s most perfect milk produc ing food, Arey stated. At this stage of growth the feed nutri ents in pasturage are ea.slly di gested and the mineral and pro tein content of the grass is high. Unfortunately, Arey remarked, many farmers think that pastures should be only on land too poor to raise other crops profitably. Such is not the case, he declared. A good pasture can be grown only On good soil. On most farms, he added, are sizeable cut over areas of fertile taffd suitable for pastures, but now covered with brush. Where the slopes of this land is steep enough to make erosion a serious problem, row crops should not be cultivated. But a good sod of pasfure grass will hold the soli in place. It is better to seed pastures n February than in March, Arty said. Seed mixtures adapted to different sections of the state, and other details of pasture grow ing, are covered in extension cir cular No. 202, “Pastures of North Carolina,’’ whch may be obtained free by wrltliig the agricultural editor at State College, Raleigh, N.

The same quantities of pork, beef, lard, eggs, bread and milk that cost Sl.05 two years ago now cost $1.'59, according to official government figures. • This increase of 5l per cent is in strong contrast with the present low cost of Reddy Kilowatt’s services.
