Britton car provided the means
of tying the animal fast.
What to do with the doe? Mr.
Brittton was uncertain, the laws
being what they are. so he sought !
some one better posted and was
advised, after various law book
readings, that he could not keep
the doe but must turn it over to
a park or zoo. It was while he
was headed toward the edge of
the swamp again that a group of |
hunters killed a large buck that
had been cornered by the hounds.
Unwilling to expose the doe to
such danger, the Whiteville man
then drove back to a point not !
far from whete the doe first1
crossed his path and turned her
loose to forage some more until
a less law abiding citizen is called
upon to rescue the same little
animal.
Urges More Care
Handling Potatoes
Shearin Urges Farmers To
Handle The Sweet Potato
Crop With Greater Care,
Since Bruised Potatoes
Cheap
Columbus County sweet potato
growers a'-e beginning to dig
their 1938 crop of potatoes. Outcounty
is fast being recognized as
a sweet potato producing county.
Only a few years ago we pro-1
duced potatoes for our own home |
use and for feed. Now Sweet
Potato growers are realizing very
good profits.
At this time your County j
Agents Office wishes to call your
attention to the harvesting of the
potatoes. We might think there I
is very little to harvesting them
except bending over, scratching
them out of the ground, throwing J
into piles, then into baskets, haul-!
ing to the barn for banking or
curing or to your nearest market.
Well after a day of this one j
would think this enough.
Sweet potatoes as we know are
easily bruised. A slight bruise will
cause a sunken and discolored
spot when the potatoes are cured
and offered to the consuming j
public. We would like to suggest j
instead of rough handling keep
in mind how easily they bruise
and do not thrown potatoes into (
heap piles, instead throw into,,

Show Hogs Net
A High Average
High Prices Is Wholesome
Sign That State Is Producing
A Fine Grade Of
Pork
Fat hogs exhibited at the re- !
cent State Fair brought an average
of $8.04 per 100 pounds,
which was 29 cents more than
the top price quoted on the Chicago
livestock market the same
day. This is an exceedingly v-holesome
sign that North Carolina
is pi educing a fine grade of pork,
according to K. W. Taylor, extension
specialist at State College
who directed the swine department.
The grand champion fat hog
of the show, entered by Marion
Pate, Jr., a 4-H Club boy from
Cumberland County, sold for
S12.59 per cwt. The champion
pen of three fat hogs, shown by
Graham Penny, a 4-H Club member
from Johnston County, brought
$9.50 per 100 pounds. The
champion pen of ten, owned and
exhibited by the Weil's Stock
Farm of Wayne County, sold for
$8 per 100 pounds.
The entire lot of 40 hogs sold
by the eight exhibitors was purchased
by the White Packing
Company of Salisbury.
Entries were made by 4-H
Club members from Cumberland.
Johnston and Nash Counties.
Adult exhibitors were Weil's j
Fatm and Turlington's Dtiroc j
Farm of Harnett County.
November Vital 1

Pullets And Old Hens Com-: J
bine During November
To Meke It A Good
Month For Eggs
Pcultrymen should be happy
during' November. Early-hatched
pullets should be in full produe- 1
tion as that time and old hens i
carried over either for breeding i
purposes or for egg production ]
should lie coming out of the sum- '
mer molt and adding their sup- '
ply to the market eggs. (
Hut poultrymen should think ahead
of November profits, warns
Prof. Roy S. Deerstyne, heed of
the poultry department of State I
College. Winter is aproaching and
it brings important problems.
The mild winter of iast year is
no guarantee of another mild winter
this year, he sagely points
out. These are suggestions he
makes:
Sufficient litter should be on
hand: the windows of the poultry
house should be intact and in
good working order; drop curtains
should he available where
the open front house is used;
nesting material for the season
should be on hand; and an ample
number of nests should be available
for the birds.
Ventilation must be careful'/
watched from now on. The nights
will become quite cold and direct
drafts on the birds may lead
to serious outbreaks of respiratory
diseases, such as colds, roup and
bronchitis. If driving rains enter
the house, wet litter should be
replaced as soon as practical,
Prof. Dearstyne advises.
He also recommends increased
feeding of mash if autumn neck
molt appears on early'' hatched
pullets. An ample number of quality
breeding males should be available,
and the flock should he
culled at this season of the year.
Careful grading of eggs is another
vital marketing problem.
Finally, records should be kept
as a definite measurement of the
results of the work.
WINTER LLGI'.MES PAID
Mecklenburg farmers who have
planted cotton on land seeded
last fall to vetch or crimson clover
or Austrian peas reported to
County Agent Oscar Phillips that
the cotton plants put on more
bolls and were able to hold them
under the adverse weather conditions
of the past season.
rows and try not let any of the
potatoes come in contact with
others. In this way a farmer will
have better potatoes at home with
less decay and it will not be
long before those buying potatoes
will notice the difference.
Your buyers cannot pay the
highes* prices for bruised potatoes
for wien it comes time for him
to dispose of them, they will not
demand the highest price. Your
local buyers know this and have
to buy accordingly.
Tabor City section shipped last
year around 160 cars of potatoes.
The price for these potatoes ranged
from around 50 to 70 cents
per bushel for bank stock and
80 cents to $1.25 per bushel for
cured stock. This is a nice income
during the fall and winter
months. Let's all work toward
making Columbus County a more
balanced county by having sweet
potatoes in the fall and winter,
strawberries, beans, squash, cucumbers,
corn, lima beans in the
spring and early summer months,
then tobacco and in between a
shipment of hogs. With this combination
we will see a greater and
Balanced Columbus County.
