Color Parade
Is Starting
North Carolina's autumn foliage
parade is marching across the
highest mountains of Eastern
America.
At altitudes above 3,000 feet,
hardwood forests have begun their
transition from deep green to
multicolor, with maples flashing
a forecast of the brillance which
reaches its peak during the mid
dle two weeks of October and con
tinues into November.
Throughout the mountain va
cationlands of Western North
Carolina, roadsides, golf courses,
and hiking trails are bordered
with autumn flowers and the
crimson of sourwood, sumac, black
gum, and dogwood. Birch and
poplar are turning to gold beside
streams and meadows.
Color is advancing rapidly on
lofty peaks like Mount Mitchell,
Grandfather Mountain, Wayah'
Bald, Mount Pisgah, Roan Moun
tain. and along high-altitude sec
tions of the Blue Ridge Parkway
through the Craggies north of
Asheville and the Balsams be
tween the Blue Ridge and Great
Smokies Divides. Maples near
peak brillance at Doughton Park
and Blowing Rock on the Blue
Ridge Parkway around October 1,
when yellow birch is spectacular
along U.S. 441 in the Great Smoky
Mountains National Park.
Within the next few weeks,
color now adorning higher sections
of the Great Smoky Mountains

Feeder Pig
Buying Tips
By Specialist
What are feeder pigs worth?
The answer to this question de
pends on the price of feed grain
and market hogs, says Fred Man
gum, farm management specialist
for the N. C. Agricultural Exten
sion Service.
Before buying feeder pigs this
fall, Mr. Mangum suggests you
estimate what you can afford to
pay in light of expected hog
prices.
It will take about nine bushels
of corn and 60 pounds of supple
ment to turn a 60-pound feeder
pig into a 200-pound market hog.
With corn at $1.20 per bushel
this represents an investment of
$14.28. Other costs amount to
abbut $2 per hog.
With these expenses and hog
selling for $14 per hundredweight,
you can afford to pay no more
than $11.75 per head for feeder
pigs.
"Even at this price you will only
break even," Mr. Mangum added.
"You'll get no return for your
labor and management."
Mr. Mangum suggests using this
procedure in figuring how much
you can afford to pay for feeder
pigs at different corn and hog
prices.
Your figuring will show, for
example, that if market hogs
drop to $12 you can pay no more
than $9.75 per head and break
even.
A little figuring before you buy
freder pigs, Mr. Mangum con
cluded, will go a long way in de
terming whether or not you make
money on hogs.
There's Money
In Good Timber
Nearly every acre of timber
growing land in North Carolina is
capable of producing $10 worth
of timber annually.
That's the opinion of R. S.
Douglass, forestry specialist for
the N. C. Agricultural Extension
Service.
Tar Heel timber land owners
are falling way short of $10 per
acre. In 1958 they averaged less
than' $4 per acre.
Mr. Douglass attributes this low
average to poor management.
"Any farmer who treats his field
.crops like most timber owners
do their woods would soon be out
of business." Mr. Douglass said.
"This is exactly what has happen
ed to many timber owners. They
have mismanaged their woodsland
right out of the timber producing
business."
