The article was complimentary to both Walker and the boys from the north end of the county, who embarrassed the Eagles of Bos ton College by dumping them, 14-13, in front of representatives of both the Orange Bowl and the Sugar Bowl at Boston last Saturday. Coltrane Gives Analysis of 1948 Corn, Wheat, Hay Feed Prospects By D. S. COLTRANE, Assistant Commissioner North Carolina Department of Agriculture Facts on the nation’s prospective short supply of feed for the 1947- 48 feeding year now are fairly well established. Since Zebulon has a freezer locker plant and has just placed a number of beef cattle on —— farms in tlfis area, these facts are Catalogues for Poland China Hog Show Being Compiled by Chamber Catalogues for the North Caro lina Poland China Association’s 1947 show, which will be held in Zebulon on Friday, December 12, are being compiled by Walter Kir by and P.

Wakelon to Return to Eleven-Man Football Next Year, Says Principal Although six-man football has received much favorable publicity of late, Wakelon School will give up the game in favor of conven tional eleven-man football in 1948, Principal Fred Smith said Monday. “I am convinced that we can field a good team,” the Wakelon principal stated, we can also come nearer financing the with gate receipts.” Attendance at Wakelon’s home games thus far this season has been light, and gate receipts have been negligible. Last year under Coach Roy Lowry gate receipts were also of prime interest to all readers of the Record. Less feed per animal—particu larly hogs, beef cattle and sheep— will form the general trend in live stock feeding for the feeding year (October 1947-September 1948). The reduced corn crop this year will be largely responsible for the smaller supply, although the oats and grain sorghum crops are also below 1946. The latest calculation shows that 113,363,000 tons of concentrate feeds (grains, meal feeds, and high protein feeds) will be needed by the probable animal and poultry population at the estimated rates of feeding. This compares with an available supply of 107,589,000 tons after allowing for a practical carryover of 10,000,000 tons of feed grains into the next feeding year. Additional requirements will to tal 868,000 tons of alfalfa meal and 532,000 tons of bone meal. The total need for grain concen trates and meal feed is 102,230,000 tons. Available for feed are 97,090,- (Continued on Page 8) small, although attendance was greater, than this year. Wakelon has lost four, won none this season.

Moser, president of the Zebulon Farm Bureau, told mem bers of the local unit at their Nov ember meeting Monday night at Wakelon School that he expects the organization to reach its Zeb ulon quota by the end of this week.

Chamblee, secretary of the Zebulon Farm Bureau: Beginning with 1943, 14 basic laws have been written affecting the national farm program.

R. Sawyer, chairman of the Beef Promotion Committee of the local organization, said this week. “We have had very good luck in placing these cattle,” Sawyer de clared. “Almost every farmer took his allocation, and in some cases farmers took more than the num ber they agreed to accept. Alto gether we placed 37 of 38 head, and we would have placed the other one, had it not been neces sary to slaughter it.” Sawyer stated that he felt the success of the beef promotion drive would help cushion the loss of in come predicted for tobacco farm ers next year because of acreage cuts.
