Meacham, superintendent of the Statesville test farm, has just visited Goldsboro looking to a suc cessful featuring of the, free 1arbe cue dinners. On the whole livestock men of the tSate are assured of a most interesting week, tooth from the standpoint of exhibit material and lecture facts. Goldsboro is making big plans to handle the visitors and extends a hearty welcome to all who plan to attend. men isited here as guests at stock Association meeting, Dec. y to 12, officials or tne extension service thr the home of Mr. and Mrs. .

"There was n op lace we knew of where we could get a college educa tion except at a regular institution," said Worsham, "so we came here. Why shouldn't we? I think we can do the work." These words came from a man to- tailv blind, who cannot s.-e the liirht of feel that the exhibit of pure-bred an imals will be one of the most inter esting features of the occasion.

They want a college degree and all that a degree and four years of college l.fe connote, and they ask only for the treatment accorded stu dents whose vision rates 20-20. I The University has made no special provision for the blind and the au- , thorities had some doubt as to the wisdom of allowing these three to en ter, but not now because in tne six Home Curing Paya The following, giving results ob tained by the office of swine investi gation, shows one of the reasons why such a large number of farmers are planning on curing their pork at home this winter: E.ghteen hogs were used in the experiment. Nine of them were sold immediately after killing and nine of them were killed and the meat cured. The total re turns from the two lot were: Cured meat, $216.42; fresh meat, $149.50. In commenting on this summary Mr.Hostetler says: "Sixty-six dollars and ninety-two cents more was re ceived from the meat that was cured than that which was sold fresh. This includes the returns from the lard, weeks thev have been there Cathev. ! heads, ribs, trimmings, etc., that Holloman and Worsham have all were sold fresh. The weight of the shown clearly that they mean to meat that was cured was equal to overcome any handicap, and their that which was sold fresh before the work has been satisfactory, judged curing was started." from exactly the same standards that Present prices would of course any other student's work is judged, show a very much greater additional Barring unforeseen difficulties and return for curing, a practice which accidents, they shoudl get the de- will be very widespread during the grees they want. i coming winter. All three students are now taking the same work. Latin, history, mathe- i carload of beautiful well-bred ani mates and the general course the m.ils for farmers of this State. About University has started this year twelve of these are being held for de- which is reuuireil of all freshmen, a nverv after tne show so as to re ex kind of introduction to college and the broad lield of knowledge. They all three room together and study together, agisted in a large part by a reader who works w.th them about three hours a day. He is the only assistant of any kind the three boys have. They find their own way about ail over the campus and the town. They can tin.i any building without ditliculty. Sometimes a friend guides th"in, but generally they go by them selves, thumping along with a si.ek. "Latin is hardest for us," Hollo mand and Worsham both agreed, "but probably not any harder than for anybody eles. It doesn't seem to come easily to anybody. Our reader reads out loud to us the Latin sentence we want to translate, and mi for us, but between the threi us we know most of the words iiibited at Goldsboro. These twelv together with some other animals which will be exhibited by individual farmers, will assure the sheep exhibit of being very complete. The Shrop shire and Hampshire breeds will pre dominate. With the assurance of the Dairy Association that a sale of high class .Jersey cattle will be held, and by the Poultry Association that the auction uf blooded poultry will leave nothing to be desired by the fancier present, prospects look good for these two wasn't it?" "Dal you go to that game?" "Yes; we go to all the games. It's good fun.

On class the oral recitation is just the same for us as for anybody else. Written work we cannot do, and on quizzes and examination we ! have to go into another room with ' th einstructor and answer his ques tions orally. That's the only detail where our work differs from anyone else's." I "Bu tif you can't write how do you work your math?" was asked. "Oh, Math's easy. We don't have any trouble with that. We work out all problems in our heads." Now freshman math at the Uni- ! versity does not rank as "pudding." i It is one of the hardest courses a freshman has to face, and for years it has been a bugbear for the great majority of new men, a stumbling block which has checked the career of many good men. For the fall quarter it is college algebra. "Do you mean to say that you work out all your algebra problems in your head?" "Yes; that's only way in which we can do them," said Worsham. "Math comes easily to Cathey and me, and Holloman does not have any great trouble. The instructor reada out the problem to us and we work it out in our heads. It takes some time, because we. have to remember all the processes, arl sometimes you have to think a long time about one process to impress the result so firmly in your mind that you can go to the next step and then come back and remember wha tyou had. . But we do all the problems in that way. "Math examinations of course will take us a long time and we'll have to take them separately from the remainder of the section. Of course," and Worsham grinned, "we had bet ter not talk too much about what we can do until after exams, but appar ently we are getting along all right I guess we work harder than most freshmen, but we have a good time, too. All of us like football. The A and E. game was a great game, PREVENT, PNEUMONIAE t - . . ... .

C. ll SiLs Care Should Be Giren to Selecting Brood Sowa Selecting sows to breed for spring litters is a matter of considerable im portance and could profitably be given closer attention than it is com monly aceordde, says W. W. Shay, swine extension specialist for the ag ricultural extension service. In the first place, it is usually a mistake to kill the mature sow that has raised a good litter. She should be retained in the breeding herd un less there is some good reason for discarding her. Reliable records show that sows, on the average, farrow and raise more an dbetter pigs in the sec ond and subsequent litters than they do the first. It is well to study a sow very close ly before deciding to breed her, and when she has raised a good litter she should be further developed and re tained if she has proven worthy. Af ter she has weaned her first litter she will make easy and fairly rapid gains if properly fed, and should continue to gain in growth and weight right up to the time she farrows a second litter. Simply because the price of pork has fallen is no reason for discon tinuing its production in a reason able quantity on most farms. FORD PROFITS FOR THE YEAR MORE THAN $50,000,000 (Copper's Weekly) Profits exceeding 150,000,000 In the last fiscal year appears to bf shown in the statement of the Ford Motor Company, which shows a sur plus of $225,500,000, compared with; $175,250,000 the preceding year and more than $131,500,000 two years ago. The company's assets are $130, 000,000 more than a year ago and $167,000,000 more than two years ago, totalling $333,000,000. This in crease is said to be partly due to the buying up of minority stock by the Fords. Twelve thousand five hun dred dollars a share for stock at $100 par value is reported to have been paid for these minority shares in or de rthat the Fords might obtain con trol of the company. The company's capital stock is $200,000,000, but its book value is $229,500,000. And Ford pays the highest wages in the world. MOREHEAD IS IN THE RACE TO THE LAST MINUTE Replying to reports that John M. Morehead of Charlotte would with draw from the congressional race in favor of Jake F. Newell, Mr. Newell stated that he positively would not accept the nomination if it yere of fered him.
