The following paragraph will be enjoyed by Norman's many friends who read The Press: "You would like Australia. It is the best place we could have been sent. I was lucky to get foreign service as quick as I did, but 1 was everj luckier to be sent over here. The hospitality is great. Every day 1 like the country and the people better. You know that I never went out to a home for dinner in the states, but here they ask you in such a way that you, for some reason ,nearly always accept an invitatiom to dinner or tea. The country does not have as many mechanical things as we have. There .are fewer autos and many of the ones they have are 1924 or 1925 models. However, the standard of living is rath,er high much higher than in many countries of the world. People seem to enjoy life more than we do at home. They are not in sucli a great hurry, although they are plenty industrious. Don West; vice-president, Lula Mae Jenkins; secretary and treas urer, Thad McCoy.

Composts May Relieve Fertilizer Shortage With many valuable fertilizers cut off because of the war, North Carolina farmers can turn to con servation of fertilizer materials iroin minor sources and help re lieve shortages, says Dr. E. R. Collins, extension agronomy lead er of North Carolina State col lege. Composts or mixtures are be ing made constantly through the rotting of leaves, twigs, roots, and other organic matter. Various substances may help soppjy or ganic matter and also often sup ply nitrogen, phosphoric acid, po tash and other elements needed by growing plants "For example," Dr. Collins said, "in butchering hogs on the farm, various parts of the carcass are frequently wasted. These are val uable fertilizers. Kitchen waste is good for composts, too, if they cannot be fed to animals. "Dry leaves, weeds, sweepings from the house and barn, coffee grounds, fruit peelings, soot and wood ashes are other examples," the agronomist continued. Compost may be made in a number of ways, Dr. Collins said, but the most common is to alter nate layers of stable manure with waste and absorbent materials, such as dried leaves, peat, muck and sod. The pile is kept moist and turned several times to mix the compost thoroughly. The out sie of the pile may be covered with soil. "Where possible," the State man went on, "at least half of the material used should be ma nure, but if this quantity cannot be obtained, a small amount should be used to inoculate the heap with the bacteria of decom position. Where very fine material is de sired, well-rotted compost may be screened, and the parts which are not thoroughly broken down re moved.

Patton, More Care Advised For Fall Pig Crop This Fall's bumper pig crop holds possibilities of increased trouble for North Carolina farm ers unless they can give greater care and attention to each litter, says Dr. C. D. Grinnells, veterin arian of the Agricultural Experi ment station at North Carolina State college. More pigs generally mean less attention per pig, the veterinarian pointed out. Yet Fall weather conditions are ideal for a great number of swine disease compli cations Every hog rouse should be dis infected thoroughly, well bedded, and ventilated properly. Precautions should be taken to prevent pigs from piling up at night, with consequent chilling in the morn ing. Sunless days in the late Fall increase the danger from rickets and vitamin deficiency diseases. Rations should be checked with this danger in view, the State College livestock autority advised. Wet weather also increases the threat of pneumonia and influen za. Proper housing and prompt control measures in case of sick ness are the best steps against these two destructive killers. Dr. Grinnells also observed that there has been an increase in Fall outbreaks of hog cholera in the past few years. In view of this apparent upward trend in the cholera cycle, all Fall pigs should be vaccinated by a veterinarian around weaning time. "There is no object in having larger farrowings and ending up with fewer pigs saved from each litter," Dr. Grinnells said. "Yet this may happen easily on many farms unless the owners make up their minds to watch their Fall pig crop more closely, and to take every precaution to over come the various diseases and risks which always threaten "' C ADMUDCf 11 I ri IV HI Li IV J Pillows, Dishes.
