It Costs Money To Lose
Hogs At Present Prices
i ?
The financial loss for every
pig that dies this year is seven
times greater fhan it was in
1234. according to Dr C. D.
Grinnells, professor of veteri
nary science at State college
According to recent findings
by the American Foundation tor
Animal Health, swine disease
control on farms this summer
will be more financially impor
tant than at any time in the
past 20 years, in late spring of
1;'34, market hags were averag
ing around $3 per hundred
j l-'ounds, while tnis year they
are ranging from $20 to $25 per
hundred.
Farmers should take every
precaution to keep down any
outbreak of diseases among this
summer's hogs. Dr. Grinnells
said. Some of the ways in which
this can be accomplished are:
First, see that all spring pjgs
are vaccinated against cholera,
use fresh, clean pastures as a
protective measure against en
teritis. Careful control of ra
| tions is aiso a safeguard against
this problem.
I Newly. purchased animals
| should be isolated from the
home herd until the owner is
I sure they are not disease car
j riers; however, if sickness does
| appear, a prompt diagnosis is
the first step toward prevent
1 ing serious losses.
As insurance against losses
from brucellosis in the fair pig
crop breeding stock should be
blood-tested now, to weed out
| carriers of this disease.
STOKES COUNTY
ILLUSTRATES
FARM CHANGES
Dairying Shows Increase
Of 350,000 Gallons Of
Milk In Five Years
Dairy farming is different
now from what i.t was a few
years ago in Stokes County
According to E. S. Stokes
county agent for the State Col
lege Extension Service, milk
sales in the county from 1940
to 1945 showed an increase of
more than , 350,000 gallons, de
spite an increase of only 500
more cows on farms in 1945
than in 1940.
Also, during this period, the
agent said, butterfat sold in the
form of cream from the county
farms increased approximately
2,500 pounds, and butter sales
increased about 1,000 pounds
Approximately $125,000 are
paid to Stokes County farmers
each year for the sale of milk
the agent said, adding that
when the money derived from
the sale of butter, cream, calves
and cows for beef are added
to this sum, the gross dairy in
come for the county will be
more than?$200,000.
It is very evident that the
farmers have better cattle and
are supplying them with better
pastures, better hay, and bet
ter grain, Agent Stokes said.
State College Hints
To Farm Homemakeri
By VERNA STANTON
Assistant State A?ent
streteh'^l US C"ng and its
stretch when making up wool
or rayon jersey, clothing spe
cialists of the U. S. Department
of A?ricultureadvise homemak
ers. Take into account the spe
cial characteristics ol this fab
ric when choosing a pattern
and when cutting, sewing, and
pressing.
Pattern ? Because of its cling,
jersey is most attractive in
dresses with plenty of fullness,
choose patterns that feature
gathers or unpressed pleats, and
be sure the fullness is about
equal in the back and front.
Heavy fullness in one place will
make the dress sag. Avoid
straight "pencil-slim" skirts or
a snug fit. Because jersey does
not hold a press, avoid pressed
pleats. *
Cutting out ? Before laying on
the pattern for cutting, fold
the jersey along one center rib
with the right sides together
to prevent curling edges Use
both pins and weights to hold
the pattern in place.
| Stitching ? When the fabric
: is cut, run a line of stitching
' along cut edges which tend to
stretch using a longer stitch
] and looser tension than most
.other fabrics. Sew from bottom
'up when basting and also when
stitching to prevent a downward
stretch.
Pressing ? Press jersey lightly
on the wrong side, lifting the
iron from place to place rather
than pushing it along. This
helps prevent stretching seams.
Reinforcing ? The waistline of
a jersey dress always needs
reinforcing tu prevent stretch
and sag. Stitch twilled cotton
tape or seam binding under the ^
waistline seam. Shirtwaist type
dresses also need to have col
lars, cuffs and front edges rein
forced to hold their shape. Use
thin, lightweight cotton fabric
between the two layers of Jer
sey. i
Buttonholes ? Bound or two
piece buttonholes are best for
jersey. Worked button-holes are
likely to stretch or even ravel.
