At the beginning of a tobacco
growing season it is usually
somewhat difficult to secure
anything like an accurate prediction
as to the volume of the
weed that will be produced. The
crop has to get started before
anybody can figure on whore it
is going. Even then there is
always the chance that weather
may detour it from following
the route of expectations.
Rice Gwyn, Longwood business
man, tobacco planter and
operator of a big warehouse at
Fairmont, was in town this
week and stated that the crop
Vas now making splendid headway.
The production will run,
he thinks, to about the same as
last year. Owing to late planting
of much of the crop, he says
that some of the weed will be

Hearing In Wilmington Yes- i
terday Reveals Interest
Of Other Bidders In The
Property Offered For
Sale
MATTER IS NOW
UNDER ADVISEMENT
Upon The Basis Of Facts
Shown Thus Far Appears
Likely That Public
Sale Of Property
Will Be Made
After spending several hours
Tuesday listening to bids and proposals
for bids on the W. B. &
S. Railroad, Judge Q. K. Nimocks
retained the matter for further
deliberataion and told the interested
parties that he would decide
within a few days whether
the terms of a recent private sale
would be confirmed, or whether a
public sale would be ordered.
It was the considered opinion
of one observer at yesterday's
hearing that the private sale
would not be confirmed, but that
the matter would be thrown open 1
again to all bidders.
The recent private sale was to
a New York firm, who had previously
purchased a considerable
quantity of railroad bonds held by j
the government. It was never
learned whether this interest pro- '
posed to continue the operation '
of the rc?ad, or whether they planned
to junk it.
During the course of that sale,
other interested parties began to

cial menhaden fishing. The factories
have no use for them.
In Southport there are hundreds
of people, especially ladies
and young folks, who like
to go crabbing. This year the
inability to get beef or beef
scraps has made this effort
practically impossible. Beef is
the favorite bait, but people
who know something of commercial
crab fishing will tell
you that shark meat is much
better bait than beef.
It has been suggested that
some local meat market make
it a business of collecting the
sharks as they are Drougnt in
by the menhaden boats. They
can easily be dressed and if
placed on storage would become
very popular and at a good
price for crab bait In addition,
there are many dog owners
who would be tickled if there
was some source where they
could be assured of getting well
kept shark meat for their pets.

Farmers Facing
Bad Deficiency
In Hog Feeds
Unless Something Is Done
To Alleviate The Situation,
Coming Months Will
Bring Serious Problem
FARM AGENT WARNS
OF POSSIBILITIES
Tells Farmers What Is Necessary
in Order to Avoid
The Possible Shortage
In Supplementary
Feeds
"The scarcity of supplement
Feeds for hogs, namely fish meal,
tankage and most of the oil
meals, will be a serious handicap
to hog growers during the com- |
ing months unless definite plans
ire made in advance to meet this
situation," Said J. E. Dodson,
County Agent. Three suggestions
that should be helpful are:
1. Conserve high protein feeds,
especially fish meal and tankage,
for sows and suckling pigs;
2 Fully utilize grazing crops as
soybeans, lespedeza, clovers and
small grain pastures; and 3. Utilize
waste peanut and soybean
field residues during the fall
months.
Feeding weaned pigs and fat
toning hogs: Pigs and hogs weighing
above 50 lbs. do well on
grains that are properly balanced
with succulent pasture, minerals
and protein supplements from
soybean, cottonseed or peanut oil
meals. If self-feeding is desired,
shelled corn, coarsely ground
wheat or finely ground barley can
be placed on one compartment of
the fedder and one of the following
protein mineral mixtures can
be placed in another compartment:
1. 30 lbs. soybean oil meal, 30
lbs. cottonseed meal, 30 lbs. peanut
oil meal, 8 lbs ground limestone,
and 2 lbs. salt.
2. 45 lbs. cottonseed meal, 45
lbs. soybean meal, 2 lbs. ground j
limestone, and 2 lbs. salt.
3. 85 lbs. soybean or peanut oil
m >8 lbs. ground limestone, 5 i
lbs. stemed bone meal, and 2 lbs. '
salt.
If hand feeding is preferred, a
mixture of 85 lbs. of ground
grains and 15 lbs. of one of the
above protein-mineral mixtures is ? j
suggested. If protein supplements '
arc not available at all, pigs above
45 lbs. will make fairly good
gains on soybean lespedeza, clover
or small grain pastures, if they
receive daily 1 pound of grain per
100 lbs. of liveweight and have j
free access to a mineral mixture !
as 10 lbs of ground limestone, 5
lbs. of stemed bone meal and 2 .
lbs. of salt. The gleanings of peanut
and soybean fields should be
utilized until the late fall rains
set in, feeding a little grain and
the mineral mixture. Do not
glean or "hog down" swollen and i
ripen ved sovbeans or neanuta. as
heavy losses occur annually from j
this practice.
Feeding Breeding Animals:
Temporary pasture will provide
both exercise and needed green
feed for bred sows and gilts. If
they are on soybean, lespedeza or
clover pasture, only the mineral
mixture and enough grain to keep
them in good breeding condition A
is necessary until 30 days before
farrowing time. Beginning 30. |
days before the pigs are born,
they should have a little fish
meal, tankage or surplus milk 1
each day. If pasture is not available,
feed good, green colored
legume hay in a rack. Do not permit
the bred cow or gilt to become
too fat by farrowing time.
