Supplement Food Needed For Hogs Fjsh Meal, Tankage And Oil Meals Will Be Scarce During Coming Months "The scarcity of supplement feeds for hogs, namely fish meal, tankage and most of the oil jneals will be a serious handicap -to hog growers during the com -ing months unless definite plans jire made in advance to meet this situation", says Charles D. Raper, "pountv agent. Three suggestions that should "t>? helpful are: i- 1. Conserve high protein feeds,' "especially fish meal and tankage, -for sows and suckling pigs; 2. Fully utilize grazing crops as soybeans, lespedeza, clover and small pastures. 3. Utilize waste peanut and soy bean field residues during the fall months. Feeding weaned pigs and fat tening hogs: Pigs and hogs weigh ing above 50 lbs. do well on grains that are properly balanc ed with succulent pasture, miner als and protein supplements from soybea*. cotton seed or peanut oil meals. If self feeding is desir ed, shelled corn, coarsely ground wheat Or finely ground barley can be placed on one compartment of the feeder and one of the follow ing protein mineral mixtures can be placed in another compart ment: 1. 30 lbs. soybean oil meal. 30 lbs. cotton seed meal. 30 lbs. pea nut oil meal, S lbs. ground lime SELL TOBACCO IN TABOR CITY And Buy Your AUTO SUPPLIES HERE DAVIS TIRES and TUBES? ?WIZARD BATTERIES WESTERN AUTO ASSOCIATE STORE S.

Farm Tenancy Is On Decline Number Of Renters Drops Almost Five Per Cent In Two Years With Greatest Loss In South The decline in farm tenancy, a trend which began in 1930, has been even more pronounced since | the close of World War III. ac-1 cording to Charles E. Clark, farm management specialist at | State College. His statement is based on a recent study conduct ed by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. As of January, 1947. 26.9 per cent of the farms were operated' by tennants, says Mr. Clark. This is almost a 5 per cent decline; from the 31.7 per cent tenancy of! 1945. The greatest relative decline j has been in the South. Many plantation type farms formerly operated by tenants are now op-| erated by owners. This is a re sult partly of mechanization on the farm and shortage of farm' labor. Partly owners have increased and a noticeable decline was shown in the percentage of farm land under lease.

Tabor City Young Tarheels Exhibit Cattle 1947 Junior Dairy Shows Mark Big Improvement In Program Which Was Instigated In 1941 BY J. A. Arey Dairy Extension Specialist I The 1947 Junior Dairy Cattle Shows were the most successful ever held by North Carolina young people. From every stand point, they were the best since these shows were started In 1941 as a means of stimulating more interest among North Carolina people in the development of good dairy cattle. More shows were held, more cattle were exhibited, "more money paid out as prem iums and the quality of the ani mals shown was better than ever before. The first or Upper Piedmont Junior Dairy Cattle Show Was held at Statesville in 1941. This show was made possible by the generous offer of the Belk Stores of that section of the state to provide premium money for a period of five years. This show has been held each year since 1941 and has been one of the most successful. In 1943 a second show known as the Central Pied mont . Junior Dairy Cattle Show was started at Lexington with the premiums being provided by the Coble Dairy Products Com pany. This show has been held each year since and on an aver age has l)ad the largest number of exhibits. Boys and girls are eligible to exhibit their calves in this show from any county in which the Coble Dairy Products Company purchases milk. In 1944 the Eastern Carolina Junior Dairy Cattle Show was established to serve the eastern part of the state. Again, the Belk Company and its associate stores came to the rescue and provided premiums for this show, | which covers about thirty east ern Carolina counties. The fourth show known as the , Western Carolina Junior Dairy Cattle Show' was started at Asheville in 1945. This show cov ers the Western Carolina Junior (Dairy Cattle Snow was started at Asheville in 1945. This show covers the mountain counties and the premiums have been provid ed by the Asheville Merchants Association. In these four district shows 967 animals were exhibited last year by boys and girls from 10 to 20 years of age. Banquets A feature %f each of the dis trict shows was a banquet held the night previous to the show. These banquets were given for the young people exhibiting cat tle and for their leaders. An out standing speaker was secured for each banquet. The cost of the banquet was usually born by the organization which provided the premiums. The rapid development of these shows is evidence of th? great Interest being taken by the North Carolina young people in good dairy cattle. Judging The Danish system of judging is used in these shows. Instead of the animals in each class be ing placed numerically they are divided into three groups?the Blue, the Red and the White, ac cording to quality. Each animal receives the same premium money throughout each group. With the district shows the cattle are de livered to the show barn on the afternoon before the show. This makes it pr*,ible for each boy and girl to have his or her ani mal in top condition for the show. Negro Shoes In addition to the four district shows for white children, three district shows for negroes were set up during 1947. One at Rocky Mount, the premiums f^r which were provided by the Rocky Mount Chamber of Commerce and appropriations from Nash t and Edgecomb Counties. Another show was established at Fayette ville. The premiums for which were provided by the Fayetteville Junior and Senior Chambers ofi Commerce. A third show was established at Greensboro, finan ced by the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce. These shows for negroes were held under the gen eral supervision' of the Dairy Ex tension Service at State College, with the full cooperation of the Aegro Extension workers at A 6 T. College, Greensboro N C One hundred ninety-four animals were exhibited in the three shows. Count}- Shows As an outgrowth of the Dis trict Junior Shows, there are now being held a large number of similar county dairy shows for young people. In most cases these are held as elimination shows to the district shows. Last year 14 in nearby cities have b^Tght small acreages for country homes which the Census classifies as a farm. Few veterans returned to farm ing after the wan Only 5.9 per cent of all farm operators were veterans in 1947 for the nation as a whole. Veterans represented 7 percent of the farm operators j in the South. Approximately 41 per cent of the veteran operators i of the nation are tenants. of these county shows were held, in which 513 calves were ex hibited. In all there w-re 1,674 animals exhibited in the twenty-one Jun-J ior Dairy Cattle Shows held dur ing the fall of 1947. The premium money offered was $12,880, all of which was contributed by or ganizations interested in the dairy development of North Carolina. The Long Smoke Livestock Lines In 1907 a competition was held at the Royal Agricultural Hall in London, and 150 selected smok ers started off in the time-race. ; Each was allowed one-eighth of sin ounce.
