Eight-Ball Awaiting Groundhog After Friday Coming-Out Party The groundhog, which annually has « coming-out party, and tells a lie about the weather, la scheduled for an ap pearance here Friday. The theory upon which the ground hog’s prognostication operates, has to do with the clearness 'of the day upon which ho ends his hibernation. If he comes out and sees his shadow he gets i scared and runs back In his hole for another six weeks. That means that spring hasn’t come. However, if the day is cloudy and the timid fellow casts no shadow he stays out. Providence, which keeps an especially watchful eye on groundhogs for a reason known only to ground hogs and Providence, then provides nice balmy weather. It’s all pretty silly and probably not even Important for after the weather of the last few weeks nobody's going to believe the groundhog no matter what he does.—Greenville Nows. TRY OUR WANT ADS E.

Southern Pines Will Play Important Part In Southern Income Farmers and landowners of the South will he Interested in a new publication, "Southern Pines Pay," which has just l#?en released by the Forest Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Presenting a story of reforestation in pictures, the pamphlet offers outstand. ing examples of how southern farmers have turned idle farm lands into pro ductive forests. While there is nothing new to the conception that young pines can occupy soil too depleted for other crops, that they grow very rapidly, and that after a short period of years the plantations will begin to give financial returns, the approach of this bulletin to the subject of reforestation is distinctly novel. No other regton offers greater possi bilities for continuous timber cropping and certainly our pines are an extreme ly important potential source of south ern prosperity. Copies of "Southern Pines Pay" may be obtained by address ing the Regional Forester, U. S. Forest Service, Atlanta, Georgia. New Circular Tells How To Raise Hogs The ABC’s of swine production—A dvantages, B-reedlng, and C-are of hogs—are told in a new circular pre pared by the State College Extension service. The publication was written by H. W. Taylor. Extension swine special ist, and Dr. John E. Foster, associate professor of animal husbandry at the college. A copy of the booklet will be sent free to interested citizens of North Carolina upon request to the Agricul tural Editor, State College, Raleigh, for Extension Circular No. 238, "Rais ing Hogs in North Carolina." Under advantages, the circular points out that North-.Carolina is blessed with a comparatively mild winter climate, which permits grazing of swine during most of the year, and reduces cost of housing. Cooperative markets operated under the supervision of county farm agents are another of the advantages listed. As to breeding, the animal husband men devote four of the 25 pages in the publication telling of the value of pure-bred boars. "There is no economy more false than the purchasing of an inferior boar merely because he Is a few dollars cheaper than a good one,” they say. "Type Is very important in the selection of brood sows, whether they be grade or pure bred animals.” The proper care of the swine herd is discussed under several headings, in cluding feeding, sanitation, housing, and disease control. North Carolina already ranks second in the South Atlantic states in both hog population and money value of the farm enterprise, and 13th in the nation in money value and 15th in hog popula tion.

For knowing what there Is to do 1» Just to make a proper start; Before a job Is carried through, Some other questions play a part How, when, where, why to do the thing (.'alls for a heap of studying Present conditions mark 1940 as a year of uncertainty for North Carolina farmers. Because of this situation, State College specialists are urging growers to plan and plant wisely. During February, the Tar Heel crop growers will find it to his advantage to follow these eight rules as laid down by C. B. Williams, veteran State College agronomist: Select those fields on the farm, in sofar as possible, for the growth of major crops that have soils and na tures best suited to the growth of each of the crops. Decide upon the best quantities and analyses of fertilizers that should be used for each crop for the greatest per acre returns. Do not use fertilizers which fail ‘ to meet the requirements for your crops grown on your particular soils. Do not- let someone talk you into us ing mixtures you are not sure will best meet your conditions and needs. Use improved seed best suited to your locality and conditions. Handle your land so that It will be a little more productive each succeed ing year. As far as possible, arrange your major crops In rotations, with at least one suitable legume in each rotation to be plowed under for soil-improving purposes. Break your land early and plant promptly on a good mellow seed bed after the season openS. Delayed plant ing frequently leads to decreased yields. Now, jumping from crops to livestock farming, here are a few suggestions from Dr. John E. Foster, associate in animal husbandry investigations ror the Experiment Station at State Col lege: Brood sows that are to farrow In February should be provided with plen ty of minerals and vitamins. If win ter pasture is not available, furnish Vitamin A by feeding yellow corn or small amounts of bright green leafy legume hay. Have your ewes in a strong thrifty condition before lambing. If some are poor and run down, separate them from the remainder of the flock and give them extra feed and care. Save out some good quality legume hay for the weaned baby calves and nursing cows. The lower quality roughage can be fed to the older cattle and dry cows. Don’t neglect the weaned colts. Keep them growing all winter by providing sufficient good quality hay and con centrates. For the poultryman. Hoy S. Dear styne, head of the State College Poul try Department, offers these sugges tions: Start chicks from blood-tested par ents. Blood-testing, if carefully done, reduces the chances of pullorum dis ease to a minimum. Never start over two chicks to the square foot in the brooder house. Pro vide two half-gallon drinking founts and two mash hoppers 4 inches high by 6 inches wide and 5 feet long with reel for each 100 chicks started. Overheating kills more chicks each year than chilling. Be sure to provide adequate ventilation of the brooder house without direct drafts. Provide a good chick starting mash and maintain rigid sanitation. NOTICE OF SALE State of North Carolina County of Transylvania Jn The Superior Court Transylvania County vs. , T. W. Whitmire, et al.
