At Home On^The Farm With « The City Cousin “Who would ever have thought that two little bushels of corn could make such a big difference,” 1 says to “Dean” Schaub, genial Director of the State College Ex tension Service this week. Hfe’d“ been telling me that an' average corn yield increase of two bushels per acre—which has heen forecast for this year’s crop over last year’s—would mean nearly eleven million hard dol lars in the pockets of Tar Heel farmers, if it was sold at present price levels. “Yes, Cousin,” the head of one of the South’s most progressive Extension organizations said, “the extra four million bushels of corn, which is expected to be produced this year, could hardly coifte at a better time.” He was referring to the worst Middle^ Western cprn shortage since 1936? He went on to explain that last year’s average of twenty-seven bushels per acre brought total production to near the 60-mil lion-bushel mark. This year, on approximately the same acreage, more than sixty-three milion bushels would be raised. “But North Carolina is still a feed-importing state, Cousin,” the Director says. “And we’re still urging our farmers to supplement their feed by producing more for age crops and hay, and encour aging them to plant more tem porary grazing crops. Unless far mers get rid of the laggards in their herds and flocks, and make the best use of available land for AUCTION SALE September 27,1947 10:00 O'clock A. M.

CAROLINA producing more feed for theii livestock, they may be faced witi a serious feed shortage this win ter.” j The “Dean,” a man who likes t< have facts on a problem befort I he talks or acts, was giving it t< me straight. Through His influ. 1 ence, Tar Heel farmers will some how manage to meet this crisis They have faith in Directoi ' Schaub’s plannin, and in the met who carry out these plans. Veteran’s Question Box Q. Is it correct that the govern ment will guarantee up to $4004 on a business loan under the G1 bill? —T. R. J., Venice, Fla. A. It is correct if the business loan is for the purchase of busi ness real-estate property, but i! the loan is for non-real-estate property such as stock or equip ment, the miximum guarantee cannot be more than $2000. Q. I have bepn drawing $57.5( ! each month from my $10,000 wai risk insurance policy since mj discharge from the army affei World War I. What I want tt know is. are such payments dis continued when the $10,000 is exhausted? — S. H., Harrisburg Pa. A. No, Veterans administration An abnormal appetite as shown by cows, eating dirt or chewing wood or bones is evidence that .the ration is deficient in mineral matter. Hogs excel! all other farm ani mals in the efficiency with which they convert feed into meat. OH, &RACE, SOME o. yit£ BEST isAPG-AMS IU -THE.PAPE*. Too*:!

No. The remainder of youi bond is placed to your credit un til such time as it becomes pay i able in cash, or you authorize further premium payments from the balance of your credit. How ever, the new law just signed by the president pfpvides that you may cash your terminal leave bond after September 1, 1947. Q. I am an honorably discharg ed World War II veteran and would like to know where I can i secure specific information con ; cerning re-adjustment allowance! while I am unemployed. —C. A R., Portland, Me. A. You should inquire at ’ the public employment office or at the office of the unemployment agency of the state in which you reside. In your case there is pro bably such an office in Portland, Q. I have been having some dif ficulty obtaining a GI loan and one of the questions I would like to have answered is, does the veterans administration set the date for maturity on nv loan? —K. L. R., Oakland, Calif. A. No. Veterans administra tion does not set the date of ma turity but the law provides. the terms shall in ho event exceed 10 years for non-real-estate loans. 25 years fof home- and business I loans on real-etate, and -40 years for farm loans on real estate far ming operations. * Q.
