W. KOONCE Agri. Exten. Agent Wheat mill feed is a corn substitute and should not be used as a protein supplement to grain for pigs. This means that if the price was lower per ton than corn, then wheat mill feed would be used up to about 30% of the ration. All wheat products are rich In phosphorus but very low In both Vitamin D and Calcium. The deficiencies in corn protein are certainly not corrected by the protein from wheat. An un balanced ration from the stand point of protein will slow gains considerably, but a ration defi cient in calcium fed In con finement will allow the animals to go down in their rear quar ters. When using a wheat product in pig feed, substitute on an energy basis. This means pound for pound in place of corn and (See FEED, page 10) Request Bond Plea Of Oxford Men Denied By Hobgood Three Persons Hurt When Car Hits Bench Three persons were injured when a car struck a bench In front of Buddy Liles' Store in North Warrenton at 8:15 p. m.

A plea to set bond for two Oxford men l>eing held without bail was denied by Judge Ham ilton Hobgood in ahabi-ous cor pus hearing in Warren Coun ty Sui>erior Court on Tuesday afternoon. Appearing in court with their lawyers were Robert Larry Teel, 18, and !.i 'ather, Robert Gerald Teel, .VJ. The Teels are charged with the murder of Henry Marrow, 26, ai Oxford on May II. The alleged shooting of the black Marrow by the two white men is said to have triggered demonstrations, vandalism arid fires in Oxford that cost more than a million dollars worth of damage. The transcript of the pre liminary hearing, requested by Solicitor W.H.S. Burgwyn, v -ts not available arid evidence w^s submitted by Lt. James C.Wil liams, investigating officer from the Oxford Police Force, and Emmett Williams, a by stander. Lt. Williams testified that he had been summoned to a lot ??ar a fish house where he found ?v of Marrow lyingonthe ndthat the man had teen > 'he legs with a shotgun l- the head with a rifle ai at he later died at an Oxford Hospital. He said that he estimated the distance from Teel's place of business to the corner of the fish house was some 60 feet and that the distance from the fish house to where Mar row's body was found was some 30 feet. Lt. Williams said that his in vestigation tended toshowthat Marrow had some alte feat ion with the Teels but he left when the elder Teel went Into his store and returned with a shotgun. Evidence submitted was that the elder Teelfollowed Marrow and shot him in the legs and beat him with the but of the gun, and as the younger Teel came up with a rifle his father asked "Aren't you going to kill the S.O.B.?" Thereupon the younger Teel placed the barrel of his rifle on the fore head of Morrow and shot him. Emmett Williams said that he was sitting in a car with friends under the fish market shed and that when he heard a com motion he went around the shed and saw Marrow standing some 50 feet from the elder Teel. He said that Marrow held a knife or some other kind of weapon and was assuming a pos ture of on guard. He said that when Teel went Into his store and came out with a shotgun that he, Williams, ran. Defense attorneys ar gued that the evidence submitted showed that the alleged crime was com mitted In the heat of passion and was not premeditated, and thus was second degree murder elllgible for bond. Solicitor Burgwyn resisted this plea, stating that he had never seen a more coldblooded murder and promising to prose cute the defendants for first degree murder. The Superior Court term opened Monday with Judge Hobgood presiding. A number of cases were head Monday sad Tuesday and other cases were in progress at press time but ver dicts were not available as court records had not been placed on the docket. Court officials said Wednesday that the session may continue through Thursday or posslfcty Friday. AUXILIARY TO MEET Thi ltary wffl meet in D.
