Are Heroes Too From the 'battle scarred Batan Peninsula last week came a story whirli, by all rights, should give nmre comfort to the U. S. soldie and his loved ones at home, than all the heroic deeds recounted in the next hundred years. The story, a United . Press dis patch from Gem MacArthur's cani told in simple language of a bak cry, nested in gullies and camou flaged by trees, set up by the Quartermaster Corps a few miles from the front lines. This bakerv daily produces several thousatv pounds of field bread for the be icagured wnerican-r llipino war n r. Fighting men must, eat and they did. The fact that the Quartermaster Corps, under constant danger from sea, air ami ground attack, con tinned to supply the "staff of life' to the fighting troops is no acci dent. In peacetime and, more re ce.htly, in large-scale maneuvers held in the southeast, the Fourth t urps Area Quartermaster installed gigantic bakeries which turned out millions bf pounds of field bread Put that's not all. The conditions under which this bread was bakec were exactly the same as confront the Quartermaster bakery on Bata Peninsula with the. one exception that dummy bombs fell on Tenne see, Louisiana and the Carolinas while the "real McCoy" rains down on the Philippines. The bakers are literally armed to the teetli and must protect their ovens and dough bins as zealously as the Infantry man protects his flanks. Precious supply lines must be kept open at all tunes.

The purpose of the meeting was to discuss last year's farm business and to plan for the coming year. During the morning session County Agent, Sam Mendenhall made an interesting talk on Food for Freedom," stressing the 1m. portant job that each farmer has in this present emergency. Dr. Stokes, pastor of the Franklin Methodist church spoke briefly urging that all should keep the Christian faith in the ordeal con fronting us. A summary of last weeks busi ness, which was made up from each borrowers record book was presented to the families (accu rate records of cash receipts and expenditures are kept so that at the end of the year when sum maries are made the progress of the family can be shown.) To gether the group discussed freely their problems in regard to grow ing livestock, poultry, and crops. It was generally agreed that di versified farming is necessary in order that the farmer may be secure on the land. After the luncli hour the 1942 Farm and Home Plans were dis cussed. Special attendtion was giv era to Food for Home Use and Feed for Livestock as well as what to plan for as sources of cash income on the farm. Each family was urged to produce enough farm products for home use and some to sell. At the close of the business session, Assistant County Agent, Tom Fagg, entertained the group by showing very in.teresti.ng col ored slides of farm scenes made in Macon county. Pictures of the' farm tour held last fall, home inv provement and livestock were in. eluded. "North Carolina Vacation land" a technicolor film was shown by Nanitahala Forestry Suuervisor. Charles Melichar. This is a film put out by the Conservation De partment showing points of interest in North Carolina from the coast to the mountains. Especially in interesting to the group were scenes taken, in the Nantahala National Forest, Cliffside lake, iindal Veil Falls, Dry Falls, and the Smoky Mountain National Park. ALBERT L. RAMSEY, County RR Supervisor. Third Of N. C. Farms Are Raising No Hogs Southerners have a reputation for eating more than our propor tionate share of pork. Yet, says Prof. Farl H. Hostetler, State Col lege animal husbandman! the 1940 census showed that 86,604 of the 278,27b farms in North Carolina were raising no hogs. Pork is one of the most important of the "Victory Foods". Pigs reproduce more rapidly, and can furnish the family table with a greater quantity of tasty pro ducts in a shorter time than any of the other farm animals. Then, too, the initial cost of the pig is low; it will eat and utilize a wide variety of feeds, and will do equally as well when fed alo.ne or with a group of other pigs. These are some of the reasons why a farmer with on.ly a few acres of land can produce his own supply of pork, and thereby cpn tribute to the "Food for Victory" program by relieving other pro ducers who are equipped for the commercial production of beef, lamb, milk and other livestock products. This will also relieve transportation and storage facili ties for other purposes, Hostctler says that swine can be raised far more rapidly and eco nomically now than formerly, due to more vigorous, prolific breed ing stock and more knowledge of the value of sanitary management and efficient feeding. Good pasture, clean water and sanitary quarters are all very important in hog production. Ex perience also has proved that it usually pays to full-feed pigs from the time they begin to eat until they are marketed or slaugh tered. Of course a balanced ration is imperative. Cottonseed meal is one, of the best protein supple merits. Horses And Mules Claim More Attention On Farm Much has been said and writ ten about ''Old Dobbin" resuming his place in the "agricultural sun." about a return to the horse and buggy days, now that war-time shortages of tires and metals threaten to restrict the use of modern labor-saving tractors and machines. Sam L. Williams, assistant Ex tension animal husbandman of N. C. State College, says the horses and mules have never lost their importance on the farm. "The value of work'stock o.n North Carolina farms is twice as great as that of all cattle and calves, and five times as great as the value of all hogs and sheep," he declared. "Horses and mcles furnish a large percentage of the basic pow er essential in the production of all agricultural commodities," he continued. "This has always been true, despite the increase in trac tors and other machinery in use on the farm. "Raising horses and mules' is a profitable business when they are used as a source of " farm power, and as a means of supplementing the farm income through the sale of surplus animals produced! Four good animals can plow four 'disc 15 or harrow 30 acres a day in the spring season.; do other kinds of farm work at a proportionate rate;, and raise enough colts to furnish replacements, if wisely managed. "In this way, the work animals reaching an age of 6 or 7 years Time Extended Joininsr Law tenforcement Offi cers' Retirement Fund. The Board of Commissioners of the Law Enforcement Officers' Benefit and Retirement Fund at its meeting in Raleigh January 28, extended to April 1. 1942. the deadline for law enforcement of ficers to become members of the retirement feature of the fund and still receive prior service credits.

Williams, says that pasture is the first consideration in properly feeding workstock. He also called attention to the need for control ling parasites and diseases of work animals. J. P. Calloway's Slayer Condemned To Die A news item from Lake Charles, La. reports that Mrs. Annie B. Henry, 25, had been convicted for the third time for the murder of J. P. Calloway, salesman of Hous ton, Texas, formerly of Macon county. It will be recalled by many that Mr. Calloway was murdered by the woman when, he picked her up with a man companion who testified at the trial that they were on their way to rob a bank in Arkansas. The man, Finnon Burks, is also under sentence of death for the crime. Mrs. Henry has been convicted twice and sentenced to die, but each time she won reversal from the State Supreme court. The verdict makes the death sentence mandatory. The jury was locked up for the night after nearly two hours de liberation on January 22, and re turned the verdict at 9:57 the next morning.
