Cardinals Win Wild And Wooly Contest From Dodgers, 13-10 By WHEELER MANNING In the most wild and wooly soft ball game of the current campaign, played here Friday afternoon, the Cardinals trounced the Dodgers, 13 10. The game was marked by super fluous errors, plenty of base hits, daring base-running and a lot of unnecessary arguing, and the total of 2) runs scored was high for any game played thus far this season. The Cardinals sprung a surprise by calling on an unheralded "rookie" "Dizzy Dean" Bufflap, to "do the pitching and when the smoke of bat tle had cleared the eccentric hurler had scored his first victory, to give him a pitching average of 1.000 for the season, as he allowed only 15 bingles. The Dodgers used a trio of chunk ers in a desperate effort to stop the "gashnnsp" gang from winning, but all efforts proved futile, as the win ners tallied 13 times on a dozen safe blows. Zemon allowed four hits and four runs during his two-inning stay on the mound, while Lassiter gave up one hit, one pass and one run dur ing his one inning chore. The balance of hitting and scoring was at the ex pense of acting captain Jack Man ning, who dropped his first game. The Cards scored four times in the first frame as Critcher, Sharpe, Plepboff and Fitzgerald singled, two men were put on by fielder's choice, and one error was thrown in. They added two more in the third to take a (-2 lead, after the Dodgers had counted twice in the first half of the same inning. In the fourth the Dodg ers used their half to cross the plate four times to knot the game, but this tie was short-lived, as the Cards came back for two more in their time at bat to take an 8-6 advantage. The winners scored five times in the next two frames while the los ers could make only four in their final chances, to account for the 13-10 outcome. Hopkins, with one for one; Piep hoff, with two for three, Critcher and Fitzgerald each with two for four, and Gurganus with one for two were the highest in the Cardinal hit parade. John Eagles had three for four for the losers' best man. He was follow ed by C. Summerlln and H. Wynne, each with two for three, while Myers and Lassiter had two for four.

Profit-making Trees Will Crow In (piil I ics A new agricultural publication, the title of which is the thought-pro voking question: "Are You Growing Gullies or Trees?" is announced by the N. C. State College Extension Service as available for free distri bution to North Carolina farmers It was prepared in cooperation with the Department of Forestry Rela tions of the Tennessee Valley Au thority.,? A copy of the circular (No. 255) may be obtained free by writing to the Agricultural Editor, State i:ol lege, Raleigh, and requesting the publication by name and number.] County farm agents of the Extension Service also have copies of the cir cular for free distribution. R. W. Graeber, Extension forester of State College, says the bulletin is expected to prove very helpful in showing farmers how to put their severely eroded lands to work for a profit. Each step in the planting |of trees on eroded lands and in gul lies is illustrated by a picture. "Thousands of acres on North Car olina farms are suffering from the effects of severe soil erosion," Grae ber declared "These lands can and should be put to work. Some of these eroding acres can be saved and useii>| trail "Write to the State College Agri cultural Editor for one of the circu lars. It is free and will open your I eyes to the possibilities of reclaim ing gullied land which is found on I scores of farms." Feed Supply Ample For Poultry Floeks Latest war-time slogan is "Keep 'em Fed." It applies to fighting and working men, and also, says C. F. Parrish, Extension poultryman of N. C. State College, it applied to the chickens which produce the eggs and meat to keep the fighting and working forces healthy and strong. "Poultry producers are fortunate that an ample supply of feed is available for the increased number of birds being produced," said Par rish. "A reserve supply of grains has been built up, and certain vitamins necessary in a balanced poultry feed have been supplemented by synthe tic products" Parrish said, further, that the egg feed ratio is generally favorable to the poultry farmer. The price of some ingredients in the poultry ra tion has increased, but the prices re ceived for eggs and other poultry products has also risen. Recent research by the U. S.

July 24th Braves vs. Dodgers Before the largest crowd of the eason here yesterday, the hustling Cardinals fought their way into a irst-place tie with the heretofore i?ague-leading Martins, by hammer ing out a 10-7 win over the latter earn. This gives each team two wins nd one loss. Tine Cards accumulated a 3-1 lead iter three innings of play by scor ng one in each of the first three inn ings while the losers didn't break he scoring ice until the third when Cimball was safe on an error, went o second on Puff Hoyle's single, both idvaneed on Simpson's sacrifice hit, ind Kinnball crossed the plate on 2o-captain Hardy's single. The third Z!ard run, made in the third, was a nome run by C. T. Roberson. In the fourth, the winners added three more, while the Martins could score only twice in their half, thereby leaving the score 6-3 in favor of the Cards. In the fifth the scoring was reversed that of the previous inning, and thus the Martins pulled up with in two runs of a tie, tt-6. Both teams failed to tally in the sixth. In the seventh's first half, the Cards counted twice on a walk to Sharpe ,a double by Bufflap and sin gles by Ned Cunningham and Ar thur Gurganus. The Martins came back for one in their half as Simpson reached first on an error, went to Second on a wild pitch and scored on a couple of infield outs. In a vain effort to stave off an inevitable de feat. harassed Harcom often juggled his lme-up, endeavoring to plug up gaps everywhere except around third base. Oswald Stalls pitched well for the winners, scattering 9 hits fairly even and issuing nary a pass, while Cun ningham played a good game at first, and led his mates to victory by getting three hits out of four trips to the plate. Dan Sharpe also was a contributing factor, as he had two hits and two walks for a perfect day at the patter. Gurganus, with 2 for 4, was third best. Bennie Godwin, with two for two was naturally the high man in hit ting for the losers, while Bill Ever ett had two for three and Hoyle one for two. One of Everett's blows was for three bases.

One experiment showed that a re duction of 25 per cent in the food supply reduced egg production 50 per cent. "Generous feeding of a high-qual ity, well-balanced feed must be prac ticed to reach the egg-production goals set up for the war emergen cy," the Extension specialist declar ed. "Poultrymen are expected to ex ceed the 1B42 goals, but this Nation and its Allies can use all ihe extra eggs produced. "When the Food-for-Freedom pro gram was started last April," Par rish continued, "the egg-drying plant capacity of the Nation was only about 50 million pounds annually. Actually, the highest production up to that time was barely 11 million pounds. The annual capacity of the 80 egg-drying plants in the United States is now approaching 300 mil lion pounds." State Swine Growers Face Feed Shortage Scarcity of fishmeal and tankage ias created a feeding problem for \Jorth Carolina hog producers, re ports Ellis V. Vestal, Extension iwine specialist of N. C. State Col ege. These two feeds have been the itandard protein supplement used >y swine growers for years. "Some farmers," says Vestal, "are nclined to feed corn, or other grain, ?xclusively as a result of the short ige. The feeding of corn alone to logs is very expensive. It requires lpproximately 11.2 bushels of shell ?d corn to produce 100 pounds of jork when the" corn is fed alone. It equires only 6.1 bushels of corn to uroduce the same poundage of pork vhen mixed with 30 pounds of fish neal and three pounds of minerals."
