Hoetetler, State Col lege animal husbandman, the 1940 ceneua showed that 8.6,604 of the 278,276.farms in North Carolina were raising no hogs. Pork Is one Of 'the most im portant of the “Victory Foods”. ‘‘Pigs reproduce mpre. rapidly, and can furnish the family table with a greater quantity of taety products in a shorter time than any of the other farm animals,” Prof. Hostetler declared. ‘‘Then too, the initial cost of the pig Is low; it will eat and utilize a wide variety of feeds, and will do equ out the state by lerdlng seedsmen at prices form $5.35 to $6.50 for {g]|y well as when fed alone or the en ire seed assortment. It is with a group of pigs.*’ evident from this that a Victory' Garden is a good investment’.’ As examples of the value of gar den crops, the horticulturist said that one-half ounce of tomato seed will produce enough plants to put out 750 row feet,. This planting will be sufficient to The State College leader says these are some of the reasons why a farmer with only a few acres of land can produce his own supply 1 of pork, and thereby con'iihute to the “Food for Victory” pro gram by relieving other producers who are equipped for the corn- feed a family of five, both fresh ^ niercial production of beef, lamb, tomatoe; and an extra amount for canning throughout the year. The approximate yield from 570 row feet of tomatoes would be 120 busliel.s. or 1,200 pounds. At a retail and curb market price of six cents per pound, the value of tomatoes in a Vic'ry Garden I would be $72. I Two and one-half pounds of hush lima beans, planted in 250 feet of row, will yield approxi mately 35 quarts, shelled. At 40 cents per quart the value would be $14.00. It requires 5 ounces of turnip seed to plant sufficient amount for a family of five, but this planting will produce ap- . proximately nine bushels, or 450 pounds of turnip roots. At a re tail itrice of 3 cents per pound, the value is $13.50; at a curb- market price of 4 cents per pound, the value is $18.00.

Announcing this yesterday, the Bureau of Labor Sta‘istic« said its survey of nearly 900 price series showed a drop of 1.2 per cent in farm products, 0.5 per cent In fuel and lighting ma- teripls, 0.2 per cent in foods, building materials and miscellan eous commodities. The bureau's index was 12 per cent higher than the correspond ing week of 1937 and .3 percent above February, 1939. Jones county 4-H club mem bers are collecting scrap iron and paper, with the proceeds of which they plan to buy defense stamps, reports Assistant Farm Agent Jack Kelley. milk and other livestock products This will also relieve transporta- ‘lon and storage facilities for other purposes. Hostetler says that swine can be raised far more rapidly and economically now than formerly, due to more vigorous, prolific s'oek and more knowledge of the value of sanitary management and efficient feeding. “Good pasture, clean water and sanitary quarters are all very important in hog produc tion,’’the animal husbandman de clared. ‘‘Experience also has proved that it usually pays to full-feed pigs from the time they begin to eat until they are mar keted or slaughtered. Of course a balanced ration is imperative. Cottonseed meal is one of the best protein supplements.” F.D.R.Leads Nation In Tribute to Lincoln Ordinary-'Citizens are going to have to depend more and more on shoe leather, now that tires sre being rationed. Miss Julia Hclver, assistant Extension clothing specialist of N. C. State College, says this calls for bet ter protectiop of shoes. “There are several ways to make shoes last longer,” Miss Mclver declared, “and In this war emergency we must make all things last. Thousands of shoes come to an early end because they lack care.” The home economist says that polishing shoes regularly Isn't just a cranky notion. Polishing shoes feeds the leather, makes It pliable, and protects it. "The.life of literally thousands of pairs of shoes is shortened by failure to dry them properly,” said Miss Mclver. “Waterproof ing shoes helps pro'ect thorn, I but doesn’t take the place of rub- ! her overshoes or rubber boots for walking in water, soft mud or slushy snow. Shoes which be come wet should be dried slowly not too close to an open fire, and never in a hot place like the top of a radiator or In the oven. ‘‘The right way to dry shoes.” the clothing specialist explained, “is this; first, wash off all mud with a damp cloth and wipe the surface as dry as possible. Oil the shoes lightly all over with castor oil. Rub it in well. Straigh ten the counters, heels, toes and vamps if they need it. Then stuff the shoes with crumpled paper, or, on the farm, with oats to keep their shape and ab.sorb the moisture. Set the shoes in a mod erately warm place for several hours or overnight. Polish when dry," \ The State College ecorcnnsi says most people never stop to think how much they sitend an nually on shoes for the fi’mily. Rising costs demand that waste of materials be stopped during the war emergency.
