GLAZENER SPEAKS TO
STUDENTS
Highlight of the assembly at
Brevard high school last Wednes
day, January 12, was a short talk
on “Food Production” by Mr. J. A.
Glazener, County farm agent.
Mr. Glazener began his talk by
telling the students that food is
not only important now, but it is
an important thing at all times.
He emphasized that we cannot go
to extremes in food production,
and announced our production
goals for the year which seemed
rather high for this county. He
told the students that the slogan,
“Food fight for freedom,” should
be kept in mind all year, and that
they should do their utmost to
help achieve the food production
goals. He explained a chart which
showed these goals compared with
the ones this county had last year;
it showed a marked increase in
corn, hay, vegetables, milk and
other farm products.
Mr. Glazener announced that

HERE AND THERE
Christmas and New Years have
come and gone long ago, and
school has finally started again.
But school doesn’t have to be in
session for there to be plenty of
gossip in the air.
Viv S. and Jim N. are still that
way it looks like. Anyway, they’ve
started the year off right in eco
nomics class.
Have you heard that Ty Morris
and Frances Martin are just about
PENALTY

TAXES
BEGINS
FEBRUARY 1,1944
Save money by coming in at once and
settling for your last year’s taxes. The
law requires the addition of a penalty on

to part because of Spalding Me.
My, my, you’re behind times . . .
that happened at least two days
ago.
What was that that Johnny S.
said about Frances H.? Oh, I re
member now. It was, . . . CEN
SORED . . .”
Jeanette M. says her vacation
only needed one thing. Can you
guess it? His name begins with
• G and contains only four letters.
| Simple, eh?
j Doris Jean S. has disappointed
' us. We thought she would follow
in her sister’s footsteps and fall
for Bobby S. brother of B.H.S.’s
famed casinova G. Simpson) but
she fooled us and fell for Hunter.
Poor William T. seems to have
more competition than he can
take care of. If it’s not the Navy
it’s the college and vice-versa. Not
slipping are you, Willie?
“Wee Willie” S. wants to know
who gave him his nickname and
why. He says he just came to
school one day and there it was,
and nobody knew who started it.
Any information on the subject
would be greatly appreciated by
Bill.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
What happened to Charles H. and
Marie T.? Did they break up or
what?
Mary Francis G. is definitely
through with the Navy and has
taken over a certain boy‘s heart
from Clemson. P. S. She’s also
taken over his B.H.S. ring. Does
that give you a hint?
Viola J. and Paul P. seem to
have been bitten. Have you no
ticed that locket he gave her for
Christmas? And that isn’t all, just
[ look at Paul’s new billfold.

REJECTION
A crowd of German airmen ar
rived at the gate of Heaven and
clamored to get in. “Who are you?”
asked St. Peter. “We’re the 50
German airmen who were shot
down today by the R. A. F.,” was
the reply.
Said St. Peter: “Wait a minute
while I look at the Berlin com
munique.” After reading it he
came back and announced: “It
says here that only two German
airmen were shot down today. So
two of you come in and the rest
s of you can go to h-.”
FARM QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
*— ...—
QUESTION: What is a good
mineral mixture for hogs on floor
ed pens?
ANSWER: F. H. Smith, nutri
tionist with the animal industry
department of the State College
Experiment Station, recommends
equal parts of ground limestone,
steamed bonemeal or defluorinat
ed phosphate, and common salt.
This mixture may be left so that
the pigs may take it at will. For
self feeding, the mineral mixture
may be made more tempting by
mixing a pound of tankage or
meat scrap to nine pounds of the
mixture.
QUESTION: How can I remove
shine from wool clothes?
ANSWER: Sandpapering and
sponging are good treatments fdr
removing shine from wool clothes
in war-time clothing conservation,
says Ruth Current, State home
demonstration agent of the State
College Extension Service. Clean
the garment by sponging and then
gently rough up the nap with fine
grade sandpaper. This helps to
extinguish the shine and gives the
garment a new lease on life.
QUESTION: What is the best
time for topdressing grain?
ANSWER: Applications made
from February 15 to March 15
usually give the best growth, say
agronomists of the State College
Extension Service. Late topdress
ings usually do not increase
growth or yields as much as those
made during the indicated period.
The agronomists recommend 100
to 200 pounds of nitrate of soda,
80 to 160 pounds of sulphate of |
ammonia, or 50 to 100 pounds of!
ammonium nitrate. On potash de
ficient soils, use 150 pounds of1
10-0-10, or mix the nitrogen ma- j
terial with 50 pounds of muriate
of potash for one acre. The agron-1
omists suggest that growers get'
all of their fertilizer, including'
topdressers, as early as possible so !
as to help solve storage, labor and !
transportation problems.

USE A
Poultry Water Warmer
To Increase Egg Production
Eggs are an essential food and essential foods are
important in winning the war. Egg production can
definitely be increased in winter by warm water. To
keep warm water before the chickens at all times
necessitates some method of keeping it warm.
County agent Glazener says, “Simple electric wa
ter warmers are the safest, most effective and eco
nomical way of doing this job. They are no longer
an experiment; I have used them four years.”
Make your own water warmers from plans we
will furnish free of charge—or buy one ready made
from B & B Feed and Seed Co.

♦ ♦♦the South
FAITH is the keynote of these adver
tisements of the Southern Railway
System...a compelling, abiding faith in
the future of America’s great and grow
ing Southland.
These advertisements, and others like
them, appeared in nationally-circulated
magazines all last year...telling their
inspiring stories to millions of people
from border to border and from coast
to coast... selling the South.
Proudly, they tell of the tremendous
contributions the South is making to
help speed Victory.
Proudly, they point to the amazing
industrial, commercial and agricultural
growth of the South in recent years.
Proudly they say, ‘Took Ahead.. •
Look South 1”...for new opportunities
after the war is over.
Thus, in still another way, the South
ern Serves the South.
