To explain Farm Bureau I Parity Loan Legislation recently I passed by Congress and the ' I benefits each individual farmer I will receive from this new legis lauun. . 2. To plan organized movement throughout the state to feet this temporary parity legislation made permanent. 3. To inaugurate a campaign lor parity loan benefits to. producers of non-basic crops like ' truck crops, vegetables, etc. Dates and places of these meetings are as follows: j j Asheville, July 22, 10:00 A.

We hope, therefore, that we j will have a representative attendance from, every county at the district meeting most con- ' venient for the counties to at- ' tend. I; Then, in addition, we hope to j work out a common agreed upon plan for getting behind a ' movement to make the above legislation permanent instead of for only one year as the present law reads. Still another reason for the district meetings, stated Secretary Shaw, is that we want some action taken now that will extend the parity loan benefits to [ non basic crops like truck crops, vegetables, etc. ' W e. tViArof/ifft , ?*tviviv/iC) Ul^C CVClJf county t0 send a good delegation ?f farmers from every community in this state. game hunter to speak ^r- W!

The workshop closes July 24 Farmers Are Urged To Grow More Hogs During The Coming Yeai A steadily increasing demand for pork has caused Ellis V Vestal, swine specialist of the N. C., State College Extensior Service, to call on North Carolina farmers for larger hog numbers. j More money in circulation as a result of the Defense Program has created a brighter situation for swine raisers. Likewise the lend-lease act guarantees pork supplies to Britain. "tvipsp factors have brought about a favorable ratio between hog prices and feed prices," Vestal said. "With hogs selling at 10 cents a pound and better, farmers and 4-H Club members may well afford t0 feed any pigs they have, even in they have to buy some corn as well as protein and mineral." An average of ten trials conducted by the North Carolina Experiment Station showed that 10 cent hogs will return $1.57 a bushel for corn consumed, basis cottonseed meal at $1.75 per 10C pounds, and fish meal at $3.5( per 100 pounds. Farmers and farm boys wishing to conduct feeding demonstrations are advised by Vesta] t0 use the following procedure: Weigh the pigs at the beginning of the period. Use a self-feeder. Blueprints may be obtained from any county agent. ttco piled corn or ground UUV barley in one compartment, and cottonseed meal and fish meal (or tankage) in the other. Use the recommended mineral mixture in a dry place. Green feed is important, too. Keep a record of the feec used. Vestal said county agents will be glad to assist farmers in carrying out these swine-feeding demonstrations. * ' ' )$ ' * ' .1 fourna j ONE DOLLAR A YEA ORGANIZATIONS I INSTITUTE ROUND TO AID IN NATO New Wine Law Is Help To Situation Police Chief Says Chief of Police Griffin Mid- j dleton is pleaded with the oper- j ation of the law banning the I sale of fortified wines, as shown by the entries on the police blotter in Sylva for the Dast week end. The new law, repealing the * act of 1937 which allowed the j sale of fortified wines in North [ Carolina became effective on July 1. The police chief stated { today that there was not a single arrest for drunkenness in -Sylva during the past week end, j which is something practically , 7 unknown since the beer and * wine act went into effect. Mr.! J Middleton stated that the us- I 1 uai thing has been a large num- j ber of drunks locked up on Sat^ urday, Saturday night, and Sunday. But, the past week end, he 5 stated, was free from arrests for public drunkenness in Sylva. The beer and wine act was f enacted by the General Assem> bly of 1933. Then, in 1937, the J General Assembly passed the '? fortified wine act. A general de1 mand for improvement of con; ditions in the State was met by the last General Assembly by r the repeal of the fortified wine : 'act. This leaves the sale of only l beer and light wines legal in t North Carolina.
