Dunn, Zebulon, Route 3. PLAIN OLD POSSUM A man, we have always heard, once wrote a whole ecstatic book on the nuances of the semi-colon. But never mind that now. It is Mrs. ’Theo. B. Davis’s two paragraphs on the apostrophe which presently concern us. There are, says Mrs. Davis, who with her husband gets out the di minutive but sprightly Zebulon, N. C., Record, and who in her own right has that certain indefinable but easily spotted something which is charm of writing style, two apostrophes she wishes might be lost from all linotype fonts. The first is that miscreant who is al ways intruding, little-brother like, in the possessive pronoun its, mak ing its it’s, which is not a pronoun at all but a contraction of it is. The second is an illiterate apos trophe which has acquired a sort of immortality in O’Henry. “One whole winter,” Mrs. Davis laments, . I gnashed my teeth over a literary society that called •itself the “O’Henry” instead of the 0. Henry. And even The News and Observer lino typist had Exum Perry’s al bino opossum written up as an o’possum.” Ah, now; there’s an apostrophe one can really sink his teeth in. In the style book of The Charlotte News, Br’er Possum’s vermiform appendage, the stilted apostrophe, is omitted without apology. He may be called an opossum, in case some reporter chooses to get fan cy, or he may, in the travail of avoiding the repetition of words, be called a marsupial, though not oftener than twice in the same story. But ’possum (follow copy, proof desk) is an affectation we eschew as something like elevat ing the little finger from the lift ed glass. Though he may be served with ’taters, he is plain old possum at The News. —The Charlotte News INSURANCE More than 103,000 premium pay ments on wheat crop policies were received up to December 1. The bulk of payments came from win ter wheat growers in Midwestern and Great Plains states.

STATE COLLEGE ANSWERS TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS TWENTY-FOUR HOURS FAST BEFORE KILLING HOGS Do not give the animal any feed at all for twenty-four hours before killing, but they should have plenty of water at all times. It is easier to get a good bleed when the system is not gorged with food and the meat always cures better when the small blood vess Is are free from food particles and blood. The ani mals should not be excited or over heated before killing as this p o duces a feverish condition and causes the meat to sour while in cure. SUBSTITUTE FOR GREEN FEED FOR POULTRY Alfafa hay, lespedeza, and clov er hay make good greens for win ted use provided they are cured so as to retain their green color. Al falfa leaf meal, if a bright green color, makes a satisfactory green feed, but should not constitute more than ten per cent of the mash. When the hays are used, they should be fed in racks as the birds will eat only the leaves and the stems can be thrown in the lit ter. Os the food mentioned, green alfafa is the most satisfactory. MOIST FEEDS IN WINTER There is little to be gained by feeding this mash the entire year, but it is an important place in the feeding of most flocks at some time to stimulate egg production. When fed to early-hatched pullets it prevents a partial or complete molt in the fall and early winter. It is also used for late-hatched pul lets in the fall to hasten produc tion, and with breeding hens to hasten production in December and January. Three pounds of the regu lar laying mash, moistened with hot water or milk, for each 100 birds will give excellent results. CHEESE North Carolina is just complet ing its biggest cheese manufactur ing year, according to F. R. Farn ham, State College extension dairy specialist. Ashe County, center of the industry in this State, produced between 500,000 and 600,000 lbs. this year. * HOLIDAY + EXCURSION | % XMAS * % FARES * * Round trip tickets will be 4. 4! sold for one and one half * X times the one way fare, De- * * cember 10th to January Ist * 4. inclusive and good returning 4! 4! not later than January 10th, * 2 1939.
