c
HUGE MONET INCOME
FROM PAT HOGS
Raleigh, N. 14.?Nearly
one-half ja million dollars in new
wealth was added to the pockets of
those farmers in North Carolina who
fed 23,643 hogs according to demon
stration plans this past season.
"Daring the past year, county ag
ents cooperating with certain of their
most progressive farmers kept accur
ate records on 23,643 head of hog?
which were fed according to plana
advocated by the office of swine
extension," says W. W. Shay, swine
extension specialist at State College.
"These hogs when fattened weighed
4,263,811 pounds and were sold for
an average of $11.15 per hundred
weight. This brought in $475,249.23
but deduction for freight, commis
sion charges and other incidentals
brought the total income to the farm
ers down to $436,430.17. The net price
to the farmer was therefore $10.24
per hundredweight."
In all, the county agents shipped
311 solid oars to the consuming mar
kets of the East. In addition 569:
head were sold locally. On each hog
in these shipments, a careful record
was kept from the time he was put on
feed until the check for his sale had
been received. Nearly all the animals
were carefully fed a ration advo
cated by Mr. Shay and tested by the
research workers of the College.
As a result of this work, hog rais
ing and feeding is now one of the es
tablished good farming practices in
North Carolina. The work is a part of
the better balanced farming program
begun by the college authorities last
winter. The county agents have gain
ed a reputation of selling first class
hogs on the consuming markets and
demonstration fed animals are quoted
at higher prices than the general run
of southern grown pigs.
The county agents are also largely
responsible for the cooperative carlot
shipments of nearly three milli n
pounds of live poultry during the past
year. * ' ^
NEW ELECTRIC PLANT
FOR MODERN FARMS
Raleigh, N. C., Dec. 14.?A new
type of electric plant has been devel
oped to meet the requirements j?
modern farm homes where many ele
trical appliances are now used.
This machine, according to A. T.
Holman, agricultural engineer at State
College, will light the home and farm
buildings and will furnish power for
washing machines, vacuum cleaners,
automatic water systems, milking ma
chines, chums and other appliances.
The new plant is automatic and has
the best features of the old battery
system and the old automatic type.
The unit consists of a gasoline motor,
a generator and a storage battery.
Its operations are automatic but may
be regulated by hand.
Small loads, states Mr. Holman,
may be carried directly from the stor
age battery saves the plant from op
erating, when only a small amount of

current is wanted. Larger load causes
the plant to begin operating automat
ically with current fmxoshed accord
ing to demand. This operation charges
the batteries while it is furnishing
current to farm lights and motor*.
When a still heavier load is carried,
both the plant and the battery fur
nish eurrent which does away with
weak current and dim lights.
Mr. Holman states that the plant
is de3igiiated to operate automalo
cally for one month. Gach month the
owner starts the motor by operating a
control switch which keeps the motor
and generator operating until the bat
terry is completely charged. A
current breaker closes this switch
when the battery is charged which
prevents ruining the battery. The
plant is then ready for another month
of use.
Those who wish to have full details
of this home power plant may get
additional information from Mr. Hol
man. ' ,
FINDS NEW PLAN
OF SELLING TOMATOES
Raleigh, N. C., Dec. 14.?Veget
ables grown in the mountain section 3
of North Carolina have an extra fine
quality and much of this good flavor
and texture is retained' when Ithe
vegetables are canned.
"Good incomes may be Jsecured
when these vegetables are properl
raised and then canned for the trade"
3ays H. R. Niswonger, extension*hor
culturist at State College. "For in
stance there is W. H. Jones of War
rensville in Ashe County who grew
one-half an acre of the wilt resistant
Norton tomatoes this past season.
The plot yielded him around 120
bushels of fine tomatoes. He secured
the help of another man and put up
100 eases with each case holding 24
cans of number 3 3ize. These were
sold to a dealer at West Jefferson at
$3.20 a case." ? v "
Mr. Jones knew that it paid to keep
1 / v
books on any venture especially one
that he was trying out for the iirst
tiny, so he kept an accurate record
of all .coats and income. His 300
plants eost him $6; his 7-5-5 fertili
zer cost $3.35; 1-2 ton of manure was
valued at $J; 100 cases and cans cost
$100; labor in canning cost $25 and
the labels for the cam cost $4.30.
This states Mr. Niswonger made his
total expenses amount to $141.65. Bat
he sold the 100 cases for $320 which
leaves a net profit of $178.35.
Mr. Jones canned the tomatoes
with a small home type outfit but
next year he will expand his opera
tions, states Mr. Niswonger. > Next
year, too, he will use a number 2 can
instead of the larger number 3. The
housewife of today want3 only the
amount that her family will consume
at one time and Mr. Jones has found
that it pays to cater to the needs of
the market.
In Mr. Niswonger's opinion, this
grower has found a plan of making
money with vegetables.* If the plan
can be followed in general by the
people of that section, home grown
vegetables in cans will be used thru
out western North Carolina instead
of the imported canned goods now
flooding the market.
Over 1500 hogs were vaccinated in
Pitt County during November to pre
vent outbreaks of hog cholera.
While in France with the American
Army I obtained a noted French pre
scription for the treatment of Rheu
matism and Neuritis. I have gn\ a
this to thousands with wonderful re
sults. The prescription cost me noth
ing. I ask nothing for it. I will mail
it if you will send me your address
A postal will bring it. Write today.
