At Farrowiiw P«riod ear* ot tk* soik and save ^Isa. timely adTice of- Mfc#ed" farmers of North Carolina 4>y Bllia,. Veatal, assistant Bxten- sion swine speciaiist, at this sea son when thousands ot swine are ■ being bom all orer the State. A large percentage of the pigs t..r- rowed in the State do not live until weaning time because of im proper care of the mothers, he stated. Vestal recommends that the sow be scrubbed thoroughly a few days before her farrowing time. “Use soap and warm wat er, and a brush to remove dirt and parasite eggs, paying especial attention to the udder. But noth ing should be neglected, not even the feet,’’ he said. After cleaning, the sow should be put in a clean farrowing pen. and after she has dried off, oil should be applied to control lice and mange. At farrowing time an attendant should be on hand to give any needed assistance. As the pigs are bora, they should be dried, and the eight tusk-like teeth should be clipped side-cutting pliers. Ae, other advice. Vestal said; ‘Ket’i^ other hogs away from the farrowing pasture, and keep the new pigs away from dirty hog lots. Leave the pigs on tne clean pasture until they are at least four months old, or have attained an average weight of 100 pounds. When possible, leave them there until they can be turned Into the corn fields or otherwise fattened for market.’’ In conclusion, the BJxtenslon specialist declared; .“Save every pig farrowed, if possible. It is the number of healthy pigs wean ed that counts, especially during this period when swine prices are low and the margin of profit is lessened.’’ PROFIT.ABLK C. S.

Stole College are already being made. The “educational vacation” for hundreds of Tar Heel farm peo ple will be held July 29 through August 2 this year. John W. Goodman, assistant Extension director, and Miss Ruth Current, State home demonstra tion agent, called a meeting of a committee on arrangements, and the process of inviting speakers and mapping a program was startup. H. C. Ferebee of Camden Is president of the Farmers’ Con vention for 1940, and Mrs. Dud ley Bagley of Moyock will pre side over the women’s sessions as president of She N. C. Federation of Home Demonstration Clubs. They have groups at work ar ranging details of the various programs. A possibility that the j attend ance of men at the convention will be swelled was seen when E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer, announced that tentative plans .have been made to hold a meet ing of County Trlple-A commit teemen at State College during Farm and Home Week. This would bring to Raleigh 300 lead ing farmers of the State. It was the unanimous vote of the committee on arrangements that Governor and Mrs. Clyde R.

He urges com mercial growers toi increase yields per acre this year In view of the demand for this crop and Its products due to the war eltua^ tion in Europe and the Orient. Recommending the yellow- seeded varieties, which are In greatest demand by oil millers. Prof. Williams said that Herman, Tokyo, Wood’s Yellow and Haber- landt are adapted to the Coastal Plain; Herman, Wood’s Yellow, Clemson, and Haberlandt are best for the Piedmont; and Her man and Haberlandt are adapted to the Mountain area. The land selected for soy- teans should be of at least aver age productivity,” the agronomist declared. “It should be well drained and in proper shape for planting on or about May 1. Al though soybeans belong to the legume family, they require mod erate amounts of a properly-se lected fertilizer. “Ordinarily,” Prof. Williams continued. “little or no nitrogen is needed in the fertilizer mix ture If the soil is in a fairly good state of productivity. However, if the soil is poor to medium in fer tility. about 2 per cent nitrogen should be included in the mix tures.” The fertilizer recommendations of the College Agronomy Depart ment for soybeans are: Coastal Plain. 200 to 300 pounds of a live soils, and 2 50 to 300 pounds 0-8-4 or a 0-8-6 on fairly produc- of 2,8-4 or 200 pounds of a 3-12- 6 on poor to medium soils; Pied mont and Mountains, 200 to 300 pounds of a 2-10-4 or 2-10-6 on fairly productive soils, and 2 50 to 300 pounds of a 2-10-5 or 200 pounds of a 3-15-6 on poor to medium soils.

Here are general directions the specialist gives for such a poul try unit: The brooder is con structed in two parts. The bottom section houses the lamps; the top section accomodates t h e chicks. The tray that separates the two sections is covered with 26 or 28 gauge tin. The tin side is placed downward, next to the flame of the lamp, arid the top part of the tray is covered over with one inch or more of sharp, coarse, dry sand. The chimney of the lamp should be one to one and one-half inches below the metal tray which divides the top and bottom sections. The tray should be kept cov ered with sand at all times. This acts not only as a conductor ot heat, but also as a litter. Tt should be kept clean at all times, A sun porch is attached, and after the first few days the chicks may be allowed to run on it in mild weather. The roof, or top of the brooder may be cover ed with tin or roofing paper. almdA iiwT it without fear of late frost dam age, says L. P. Watson^ EfittenaRSi: horticulturist of College. “The only danger notr,” he stat^ ed, “would be to some of the ten der plants such as beans, cucum bers, tomatoes, corn and sweet potatoes. In the mountain, section. These may ^be planted safely' in the west after May 1 to 16.’’ IVatson said there is, there fore, little excuse for any farm family failing to plant a garden now. ”It is almost imperative that we grow something to eat this year to offset an Ineviteible de cline in income from tobacco,’’ he declared. ‘The vegetable garden will be worth far more to the farm fam ily than the acre of tobacco given up In the control program. TTie vegetables which can be grown on an acre of garden land would cost the housewife 3450 if bought at retail prices. This com pares with the average acre value of tobacco of about $135, and an acre value for cotton of $35, and corn $20. "We certainly don’t want a re occurrence of the situation of last summer, when vegetable trucks toured the farm areas of some Eastern Carolina counties and sold fresh vegetables to to bacco farmers,” the specialist continued. “It takes 3 acres of tobacco, 12 acres of cotton, or 22 1-2 acres of corn to buy the vegetables that a one-acre garden will produce.” Watson pointed out that the Agricultural Conservation Pro gram Is offering this year a pay ment of $1.50 for each home gar den of at least one-tenth acre for each member of the farm family. Details of this AAA practice, and other valuable information on home garden.s, are contained in Extension Folder No. 45, which is free upon request to the Agri cultural Editor at State College, Raleigh. v VlP'i A Dollar^$ Worth of Gas, please...

C ALL the service tolL This customer wants them all—air, water, windshield (don’t forget the battery) rest room, road maps, an opinion on the weather, the use of a few toolsL And he gets it with a smile because the modem service station is typical of American business enterprise, justifying a slight profit by providing convenience, speed, and the reliable prod ucts which go along with friendly service. It’s a typical Ameri can institution, like nothing else in the world, yet part of the profit system, independent and vigorous. When the local service station, repair shop, garage, or auto motive dealer buys insurance from the experienced agent or broker of a jtock insurance company, he does not say, "$50 worth of insurance, please.” He asks for and gets the advice and full services of an expert purchasing agent in the complex insurance field, like himself an expert middleman. No worries about uncovered risks that might wreck his business. No matter what your business, when you buy Surety or Fidelity Bonds, Burglary Insurance, Forgery Insurance, ot any other type of coverage through your local agent or broker, you deal with a customer and friend who is a fellow member and supporter of the American Business System.
