Plan Farm Business For Larger Profits A written farm plan for 1947, outlining cropping and livestock features, fertilizer and seed ex penses, marketing problems, and tiie like, should be made during the coming weeks, says C. B. Ratch ford of State college, farm man agement specialist He points out that many farm er* have serious trouble because they do not plan ahead. A common example of this is inability to get the right kind of fertilizer for a particular crop when it is needed, because of a delay in ordering fer tiliser. Another frequent problem is that of a glutted market and low prices, because the outlook for the particular crop was not care fully considered at the beginning of the year. Since guidance in farm planning is needed, the Farm Management Department at State college has prepared a special planning form which may be used for the entire year. A free copy may be obtained from the county agent or by writ ing the department at Raleigh. This form booklet provides a convenient method for making a written plan. “If the farm plan is not profitable on paper, there is little hope that it will actually fool the farmer and be profitable at harvest time,” Ratchford says. “If the farmer is anticipating a change in his farming plan, it is impera tive that he carry through and | complete expected receipts and; expenses to see whether the pro posed change is better than his present system from the point of j financial returns.” While days are cold and rainy, and it is disagreeable to work out side, farm planning can be made to return excellent dividends in fewer headaches through the year and larger net profits. Man has conquered almost every dangerous thing in nature—except human nature. Rom where I sit_/p Joe Marsh r How to Stop Worrying I guess folks in our town do about as much worrying as in yours—over housing and prices, and crops, and jobs—and the little domestic prob lems that are always coming up. Dad Hoskins, who’s lived to the happy age of eighty, has a simple formula for stopping worry. About every problem, he asks himself: Is there anything I can do about it? If there is, he never postpones making a decision, or taking neces sary action. If there isn’t anything he can do about it, he sets aside a “worrying hoar** after dinner, and gets his worrying over in one concentrated period. When that’s over, he relaxes over a friendly glass of beer with Ma Hoskins—and they talk about pleasant things together, until bed time. From where I sit, that’s as work able a formula as you could find_ right down to the mellow glass of beer that seems to wink away your worries. j €>1946, UNITED STATES BREWERS FOUNDATION, North Carolina Committee Suite 606-607 Insurance Building, Raleigh, North Carolina. Time to plant one more crop of cheer MILLIONS of folks — here and abroad — owe the cheerful sight of food on the table to you, Mr. Farmer! Through long, hard work, you’ve helped keep us the best fed country in the world—while helping to feed many of the world’s hungry. Now we need your help to plant another important crop—one more crop of cheer for our servicemen. Today, thousands of our boys, scattered over half the earth, are hungry for a touch of home. For a sight of their own people, the music of their own songs, the laughter of their own jokes. You treat them to all these things when you give *10 the USO. Every dollar you give helps prevent another of yesterday’s heroes from becoming one of today’s “forgotten men.” By sending USO enter tainers to keep up their morale...by giving them a friendly home away from home through USO Clubs ... by bringing entertainment to those in hospitals— for whom the war hasn’t ended—to help them fight their way back to health. You help beep America close to millions of home sick GI’s... and keep them close to America. It’s a job we all want to pitch in on. Lend a generous hand, won’t you? Let’s give the boys a big crop of cheer! Sid Barnett's Keep it up... Don’t let them down! MACHINE SHOP PISGAH FOREST, N. C.

BREVARD, N.C. When you think of prescriptions, think of VARNER’S—Adv. Pointers On How To Kill And Cure Pork ] It’s “hog killing” time in North j Carolina for some sections and in i others that date is just around the \ corner. t Many folks are asking for as- \ sistance and information on cut- j ting up the carcass, curing the i meat, making sausage and head cheese, and about storing the cured meat. Regardless of how short meat is in the cities, there’s plen ty on the well managed farm that practices a real live-at-home pro gram. For the farmer that needs such information as that noted above, there is a timely publication that fits the bill. Just send a postcard to the Agricultural Editor, State College, Raleigh, and ask for Ex tension Circular No. 262, entitled “The Farm Pork Supply.” This publication gives a list of equipment needed for butchering on the farm, how to butcher the hog and cut up the carcass, infor mation on rendering lard, curing of the pork by dry curing or brine curing, and other such informa tion. It is free for the asking. Coun ty agents also have copies of this publication in th^ir offices. The publication also contains ten photographs on how to cut up the hog. Better yet, farmers can attend one of the meat cutting i demonstrations now being held in many counties. At a recent short course for freezer locker people at State college, Dr. Dan Brady, in charge of meats research, gave a series of meat cutting demonstrations in | which the freezer locker employ ees obtained much practical ex perience by actually cutting the meat under Brady’s supervision. 1 TRY TIMES WANT ADS THE GIFT THAT SAYS “ALWAYS YOURS” Now is the time to come in and let us capture your personality for your Christmas gift-giving.
