Farmers Urged
To Raise Stock
High Death Rate Has Caused
Prices Of Mules And
Horses To Rise In Past
Ten Years
Commercially-bred horses and
mules cost more now than at
any time since the World War,
and their cost will probably continue
to rise for the next ten
years, says Fred M. Haig. professor
of animal husbandry at
State College. This is because
the death losses of horses and
mules each year in the United
States is more than one million
head, and for the past five years
the production of colts has been
only 600,000 a year.
In North Carolina the number
of horses and mules has decreased
from 421,000 in 1925 to 370,000
at the present time. This is
a serious situation, but there is
a solution to it, Haig says. His
suggestion is this:
Estimating fhe cost of animals
at $200 per head, our farmers
must spend $1,000,000 each
year to buy work stock replacements.
This drain upon the agriculture
of the state can be
avoided by raising work stock
on our farms.
Much land has been released
from cultivation by reduction of
acreage heretofore planted in
cotton and tobacco. This land
could be profitably utilized in the
production of feed crops for work
animals. It requires approvimately
four acres to produce the necessary
feed for a horse or mule
for one year.
The production of one or two
I colts on the farm is strictly a
non-cash cost, provided the animals
are raised as a sideline to
the general system of farming.
Mn farmer can afford to keeD i
mares in idleness solely for the
production of horse or mule colts. J
The mare must be required to
do her share of the work on the J
farm and in addition, produce a j
colt each year.

Gives Tips On
Moving Shrubs
Advises Moving Shrubs In
November And December;
Should Use Care
Not To Bruise Roots
Wife: "We've got too many
shrubs next to the house. Let's
move some to the corners of the
yard."
Husband: "I'm satisfied like
they are, but if you must move
them, do it yourself or have it
done."
Accept the challenge, Madam,
it's not hard. John H. Harris,
extension landscape specialist at
State Colege, will tell you how.
He says:
Most people have success moving
shrubs and trees during the
dormat season, preferable in November
and December. If the plant
to be moved is deciduous (drop j
its foliage in the winter) it is I
not necessary to remove a ball j
of earth with the plant. Care
should be taken, however, to remove
all the roots possible with
the plant and avoid bruising the
roots as much as possible. A ball
of earth should be moved with
evergreens. A two to six-foot native
plant is usually the best size
to move.
The hole in which the plant is
to be placed should be dug considerably
larger and deeper than
is necessary to take care of the
longest roots. Use only topsoil to
fill thus surplus space. Place the
plant in the hole the same depth
that it was growing originally
and tamp the soil around its
roots until the hole is three-fourths
filled. The remainder of the
soil should be filled without packing.
Prune the plant enough to balance
against the loss of roots.
This usually means cutting from
one-third to one-half the top from
the plant. Fertilize at the time
of transplanting or early the next
spring.
Immediately transplant deciduous
plants, or at least keep the
roots moist until they are reset.
Leave a disk shape hole around
the new position for the purpose
of collecting water for the plant.
Every book in print dealing
with the Pacific Ocean and the
nations surrounding it is to be
shown at the California World's
Fair on Treasure Island.
"One thing you must say about
boxers is that they are ethical."
"What do you mean?"

'Agent Tells How
To Keep Kernels
Says To Can Nut Kernels

Keep Them From Becoming
Rancid
To preserve nut kernels and 1 (

can them as you would fruits. '
says Miss Ruth Current, State j |
home demonstration agent at j I
State College. They can be kept j j
fresh and tasty by being placed
in an airtight container in a j
cool, dry place away from light,
she explained.
The container will also protect
the nuts from-insects. The flavor .
of nuts is largely dependent on I
the oils they contain, although
in some kinds of nuts there are j
also specific flavoring substances.
In most nut kernels the oils
readily become rancid and give J (
the disagreeable flavor found in!
so-called stale nuts. The vacuum-, j
packed containers ir, which nuts '
are often put up commercially b
help to prevent rancidity, Miss a
Current said. j c
Kernels of nuts gathered at u
home can be packed in jars from -<s
which the air is exhausted in a i e
boiling bath, as in canning fruits, j s
Select well developed, fresh nut 1
kernels, free from bits of shell.
Sterilize half-pint or pint jars c
and allow them to dry. Fill with j J
the nuts and partially seal. Place j
in a hot water bath that comes !
up about two inches on the side 'v
of the jars and let them remain 11
In it while the water boils for ja
thirty minutes. Complete the j *
sealing and store in a cool, dark ja

THE TRAP-LINE
(By JOSEPH H('FHAM)
Perhaps one of the ni03t hated j
hings of the forest is a hawk.
Sirds, squirrels, rabbits and mice
specially fear them. But I am [ 5?
jot talking about hawks in gen- k
rai. I am telling about one speci- 1;
'ic hawk. ^
This old hawk was a big one, to g
)e sure. He was a mean old pest. J
:oo, if there ever was one. He :1
lot only feasted on the little inlabitants
of the field. But he ate
ay mother's biddies. k
I was too small then to do . jj
nuch toward taking him into I
ccount. I wasn't able to muscle I
nit a gun to aim toward him. I
had to pick my chances and f
ind things to rest ifty gun on B
icfore shooting. And often I B
could also seek out trees to brace B
he butt of the gun against, to I
ibsorb the power of the "kick". 1
I kept after the old hawk, J
hough. Especially after that day b
chen I was hunting some black- ?
drds in a little bay and the old I s;
lawk came sailing by low over j,
he bushes with my pet biddy in p
lis claws. tl
I fired away and made him
Irop the biddy. But I didn't hit; hi
lim. And after I saw my biddv

On September 19 all 25 hogs I j.
